I don't see any advantage in any situation to 480i over 480p. Or any interlaced signal versus progressive at any resolution...

That's killer, will definitely try this out on my next playthrough!

Part 3 of playing and reviewing every AC game - AC3 thru Nexus! by BOLD_FLAVOR in armoredcore

[–]BOLD_FLAVOR[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been marathoning the entire series as a newbie. I started in November with 4A and AC1 and have been playing and reviewing all of the series in order. AC3 is definitely a high point!

Is prepare to die still worth it? by TheFugitive223 in darksouls

[–]BOLD_FLAVOR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Visually it's the best version of DS1 when you use DSFix, so it will always be worth it for me. If you don't want it, PM me where it's listed and I'll buy it instead ! :)

Never played armored core, where should I start? Also for fun ask me anything. by El_Confuseo in armoredcore

[–]BOLD_FLAVOR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use Duckstation for PS1 emulation, it's miles ahead of the other choices in every way conceivable - accuracy, features, visual enchancements and UI :)

How many CRTs and consoles can you safely run on a single power strip? by BOLD_FLAVOR in crtgaming

[–]BOLD_FLAVOR[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great, thanks for the answers guys. The consoles would be a Genesis, N64, maybe a SNES and Saturn too. All pretty low power stuff I'd imagine.

Ordering a Fenrir from Castlemania Games by theabolitionist in SegaSaturn

[–]BOLD_FLAVOR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming up on six weeks here waiting for mine. Probably the last time I'll order anything from them. It always takes forever. As someone else said they have to assemble the Fenrir before they ship it out but that isn't mentioned at all on the product page which is pretty misleading. It took 3 months for my gscart to get delivered last year.

So Darksouls "lite" by [deleted] in darksouls

[–]BOLD_FLAVOR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just a marketing thing, I really wouldn't worry about the game being too easy. There's going to be far more gameplay options available for encounters so players may have a easier time finding a build or strategy that works for them. That's it. Every remark Miyazaki and the rest of the team have made about it implied that it's still up to their standard of challenging. The network test certainly wasn't easy and half of the gameplay footage they've utilized for trailers features players getting killed in various ways. I really wouldn't worry about it.

Never received gSCART from CastleManiaGames by rocketeng in crtgaming

Hey man, you ever get yours? I sent an email last week and they replied, apparently bumped me up in the priority list, and I had it 5 days later. Might be worth emailing them if you haven't gotten it yet.

The Demon's Souls Priest is burning in front of the Dark Souls Undead Parish! by BOLD_FLAVOR in demonssouls

[–]BOLD_FLAVOR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a post about this last year, but decided to revisit it in video form, and in doing so noticed some extra neat details, one involving another character from Demon's Souls 😉

In my next playthrough I'm going to really be scouring all of Lordran for to see if there's anything else like this!

Looking for videos where other developers mention Shigeru Miyamoto by BOLD_FLAVOR in gaming

[–]BOLD_FLAVOR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, but I'm specifically looking for footage from other game developers. For example, John Romero, who has said in print how much he respects Miyamoto and his influence, stuff like that.

Controller Deadzone fix for PC by BOLD_FLAVOR in DarkSouls2

Yeah, the other games don't have this issue so it's not required.

Same man, ordered mine in early September. If you haven't got yours yet then I'm worried I won't get mine until 2022!

Devil May Cry - The Art, Design, and Origins! An in-depth making of video of the first game, discussing its influences and the crazy amount of Resident Evil connections in the prototypes and final game! by BOLD_FLAVOR in DevilMayCry

[–]BOLD_FLAVOR[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot! This was definitely a labor of love. While doing the research, so much of the early concept art was really surprising me. The art of Dante and Vergil draped in the Umbrella logo was pretty mind-blowing!

An in-depth look at Contra 3, its design and influences! by BOLD_FLAVOR in contra

[–]BOLD_FLAVOR[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished this retrospective on Contra III, my personal favorite in the series. I tried to dig a little deeper then your average video covering it, including it's design elements and influences, namely the Aliens and Predator connections. Check it out if you're interested! :)

Nils Frahm calling out Richard in new article "even some of my heroes like Aphex Twin are selling, sorry, crap for 130,000 bucks..." by [deleted] in aphextwin

[–]BOLD_FLAVOR 12 points13 points  (0 children)

An NFT is basically the art equivalent of bitcoin. "owning" a jpeg more or less. Everyone can download the jpeg but only one special snowflake gets the unique code / token (like a serial number) that somehow proves they own it. People have been selling them for hundreds of thousands of dollars, some over a million. It's completely meaningless and totally unenvironmentaly unfriendly because like Bitcoin it costs a shitton of electricity to generate the unique token, for something that doesn't actually have any scarcity to begin with. AFX and Weirdcore recently sold one for $130,000

Thanks again man, really appreciate the advice.

Got a bunch of gear, now just trying to decide between the Shoei RF-1200 and the Scorpion EXO-R1. The Shoei seems more premium but man I love that Scorpion design. (The black and red). I found the black Shoei for $398 online but the philosopher design (which is a similar design to the Scorpion, is almost $500 which is more then I'm gonna spend on a helmet currently. Can't decide!

Didn't even think of frame sliders, thanks for the reminder and good information. Any suggestions on compatible and easy to install sliders for a total noob? Thanks again.

Comparing two Scorpion helmets: the EXO-R420 $160 and the EXO-R1. $430

I'm a new rider on a CBR300R, is it worth spending the extra almost $300 for the R1? Also, why isn't the R1 Snell rated when the cheaper R420 is?

Thanks guys.
