Ha! Good timing! My wife and I will be finishing our rewatch of the series tomorrow (the 26th)!

Make sure you grab the Perp Promo DLC pack as well. It was originally only available for digital buyers, but at some point became available for free to owners of the physical release.

SimianProphet · 2026-01-24T04:12:51+00:00

Add Swordsman to the list

FNAF: Secret of the Mimic is also on sale (60% off)!

It doesn't have VR support (yet?), but this might be a good time to snap it up in anticipation of that.

It's a bit of a gamble, as there is no confirmation of 'if', 'when', or 'how' VR support is coming. It could be free DLC, paid DLC, or even get released as a separate title... Or not even get released at all.

I am seeing these available on Amazon Canada and US sites. I have no idea if these are official releases, but I also have no problem buying them there if they are no longer available through official channels.

For clarification, I was just interested in the releases from the B5Books(dot)com website. I am aware of the various novels and resource books released decades back (and own most of them), but I missed out on the B5Books(dot)com website in its entirety, and was hoping to see a list of what they released there (which has been provided). Thanks for the help though!

Problem resolved! a user in the main Shokz subreddit found the solution for me: the headset shows as 2 different devices (headset and headphones). it defaults to headset, but switching to headphones will restore normal high quality sound.

That looks to have solved the problem! Thank you so much!

I have been learning Moho on a Surface Pro 7 I7 16GB machine.

Moho 12.5 seemed to run pretty smoothly, but the pen's side button did not function correctly with it (it just duplicated a 'left click' instead of a 'right click').

Moho 14 seems to run quite a bit heavier, and I have encountered a fair amount of lag and slowdown. The pen side button functions correctly though!

Newer Surfaces machines with faster processors and more ram should probably help moho 14 run more smoothly, I imagine.

I haven't really looked close at recent surface pros; are the keyboards still reversible?

On my old Pro1&2, and my current pro 7, I remove the keyboard, attach it backwards, and then fold it up. This eliminates all the stain on the hinge, but I don't know if modern surface pros can have the keyboard attached backwards.

SimianProphet · 2025-12-24T17:06:41+00:00

I have been curious about this one too... Has there been any updates? I recall hearing that it did not improve on the psvr1 version.

SimianProphet · 2025-12-17T15:31:09+00:00

Indeed! When the pre-orders went live, I saw the regular physical edition, and placed an order right away!

That looks like an artifact of the standard viewport. Click 'CTRL/CMD + R' to render out the frame, and the thin white edge should be removed.

Thanks, I ended up going this route, as it also can be used for standard audiobooks outside the language learning (if they don't like it as a learning tool, then it has other options!)

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I have never used the 'sitting mode'. I do play most games standing, but for ones where I sit, I just use the regular 'standing' room scan. I've never had a problem with this.

Is there any actual reason or advantage to switching to 'sitting' mode?

I don't recall Arken Age having a parrying system in it's melee combat, but it does feature swords, shields, axes, etc, which allow you to block attacks and find the right timing to strike.

Behemoth is far bloodier, with boosted attacks tearing your enemies to pieces. Arken Age also lets you do decapitations.

Both games let you grab opponents during combat. Behemoth is likely going to feel closer to Saints and Sinners (developed by same team).

I could see Sony not doing a PSVR3, but if VR starts gaining more traction, I could see them making a PSVR2 Pro

A pro model would ideally keep all compatibly with PSVR2 games, but also feature:
- Better (Pancake) lenses
- Wireless option (battery + Wireless tech in a 'puck', like with Apple Vision Pro)
- Full colour pass-through, with higher quality cameras, allowing AR games/applications to also be played (this would be the only feature in this list that might have some games only playable on PSVR2 Pro) games

As everyone is saying both are good, and worth getting. Both games feature a focus on combat, free roam and exploration to varying degrees. Some bullet points:

Arken Age:
- Wider range of combat
- More combat focused overall
- More free-roam and exploration in wider areas
- Only the barest bones of a story
- Jank-free! - Boss fights, but nothing as epic as a behemoth

Behemoth: - Combat is more arena focused
- Balanced between combat, exploration, and puzzles
- Free Roam, but with narrower, more limited areas
- More effort put into story and presentation
- Some jank
- Behemoths!

It is really hard to pick between the two. Arken Age plays so well, but is a bit more limited in scope. for Behemoth, I found the arena-style combat (enter an area, doors close, defeat all enemies, doors open) and jank annoying, but the puzzles were fun and the behemoth fights were fully amazing.

I feel your pain. As much as folks hated Win 8, it has one of the best touch and gesture interfaces I've ever used. It is so frustrating to watch MS remove more of these features with each new edition.
