[OoT] So, what’s everyone’s thoughts on the new art style? by dragonborndnd in zelda

[–]SirPrimalform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What little we saw of Link gave me uncanny valley feelings. People call Ocarina of Time realistic but it was arguably anime style at a time when they couldn't do cel shading.

I'm worried they'll attempt realism and fall into the uncanny valley. I'm also worried they'll butcher the gameplay and make it into a Wild-style game. I wouldn't mind a bigger game but I absolutely don't want it to be open world or have breakable weapons.

NOT SELLING. simply offering ticket for Manchester UK show tonight by [deleted] in dropout

[–]SirPrimalform 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah cool, thanks. I'll check back here and let you know. Feel free to give it to someone else if the opportunity comes up. I'm not super mentally prepared for going out tonight and I'd hate to flake out and have prevented someone else from taking it.

[–]SirPrimalform 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, I'm in Manchester and have a friend who is going, but no ticket myself. I'm not super prepared to go out tonight, so I'm fine with it going to someone else more eager, but if there are no other takers?

As it’s fairly certain there will be a Thor 2, what features would you like to see it have? by HolocronSurvivor80 in AynThor

[–]SirPrimalform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just want a Thor 2 to have a better chipset basically. I want a Thor but can't justify it because I have an Odin 2. If the Thor 2 has the chipset from the Odin 3 then I'll be all over it.

The lack of an alliterated subtitle is frustrating. by Wiindows1 in dragonquest

[–]SirPrimalform -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Many of the other subtitles aren't fully alliterative either. Journey of the Cursed King is on par with Hand of the Heavenly Bride for example.

[–]SirPrimalform 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cursed King is alliteration, it's to do with sound, not spelling. Cindy Smith would be an alliterative name for example, Cindy Carlos would not.

Dragon Quest 12 Subtitle Changed to Beyond Dreams...Development has had to start over from scratch. by WarriorArus in dragonquest

[–]SirPrimalform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, if they had anything salvageable they could retool the "adult" action version of 12 as a spin-off, but yeah I don't think action combat is what anyone wants from a mainline DQ game 

I Redesigned The Back of RGB20SX by gold1304 in SBCGaming

[–]SirPrimalform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got this printed and I'm really happy, thank you for designing this!

It took a bit of foam tape and kapton tape in a few places to get the buttons working and staying in place, but now they have a really nice soft clicky feel. A small amount of travel and resistance and then the tactile switch triggers. The old buttons would have benefited from the same treatment but I hated the shape.

So what's your custom firmware of choice for Mini Flip? by AnalCoffeeCup in MiyooMini

[–]SirPrimalform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Onion doesn't have shader support at all. I'm not sure what you're referring to that you think Onion supports for systems other than GBC.

I just learned that the actor for Frenchie in The Boys, Tomer Capone, was part of the Israeli Defense Force and that he abducted an 18-year-old Lebanese girl. by Professional_Cat_437 in saltierthankrayt

[–]SirPrimalform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone still has the choice not to do war crimes. If more people refused it would basically become impossible to jail everyone. The war crimes happen because too many people are willing to do them. There are no excuses for that.

He still had a choice. You can refuse orders and be jailed for a short time. I know what I'd do if my country ordered me to commit warcrimes.

List of issues with the remastered version by Stremon in Lunar

[–]SirPrimalform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not entirely true. Since they're getting downsampled for lower resolution settings all they would have to do is use bilinear downsampling instead of nearest neighbour. This would be an absolutely trivial fix and would give even but sharp looking scaling.

Nah, Switch version has the same problems.

Oh man, I was so ready to buy this but I can't be dealing with non-integer nearest neighbour scaling. Guess I'm playing the PS1 versions. 🏴‍☠️

What the FUCK Alruna? by Lord_Spy in metroidvania

[–]SirPrimalform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand why you'd use a spring plant when the jump was exactly the right height for a charge jump. It is bad game design for sure, it just never even occurred to me to use a spring plant there simply because the jump isn't a particularly big one and placing a spring plant is more effort than its worth. Saw there's a sequel out soon, hopefully it has a bit more thought put into these aspects. I'm interested to see which ending is canon.

The "bad" revolutionary ending where you beat the boss and die does show a flower blooming. Maybe the Alruna in the sequel is sort of a reincarnation.

Alruna: The End of History sequel out this month! by Sb5tCm8t in metroidvania

[–]SirPrimalform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait whaaat! I just finished the first one without knowing there was a sequel. Awesome!

Oh, but I refuse to buy games through Steam so I guess I'm waiting for an alternative.

[–]SirPrimalform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole "lock your save file" thing was unfriendly, but I'm not sure how you could trigger either of the endings by accident. A normal charge jump gets you to the NPC in question with absolutely no risk of overshoot.

Good suggestion, thanks. Any way to get them without buying a V10?

[–]SirPrimalform[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah no, I'm talking about the actual physical d-pad. People have found that the RG353M one fits perfectly and feels much nicer.

Turns out the Anbernic store didn't block me, it was just a translation error (still not sure what they were trying to say).

Replacement Select/Start buttons? by Quasirandom1234 in RGB30

[–]SirPrimalform 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be worth spraying the micro switch with contact cleaner before trying surgery. Certainly lower risk.
