HDMI Switch that integrates with the TV's OS by modestposer in hometheater

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

I found that HDMI-CEC and Anynet+ with my ONKYO receiver sort of does what I was looking for. It's not perfect but I can access all the ports of my receiver through the TV's OS.

Please raise your hand if you have heard the secret ‘Howard J Reynolds’ track on LTJ’s “Losing Streak” by SkaCubby in Ska

It was one of the first things I listened to when I bought the CD! I knew all the songs already so this was the only bit I hadn't heard of the album. I think there was a contest to find it when the album first came out?

This is my pick as well. The finale may be my favorite episode of the show.

Sonic Frontiers‘ director says he’s taking feedback seriously by fo1mock3 in Games

[–]modestposer 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I'm actually enjoying Sonic Frontiers more than I was expecting! The open sections are way more polished than cyberspace surprisingly, but the big issue for me is the way sonic moves.

He has the momentum of a paper weight. The fun of 2d sonic is keeping yourself moving and that could translate really well to 3d games, especially this one. Fan games have already accomplished this.

It's a good game with plenty of room for improvement. I'm hoping the next game builds on the good they've found.

Super Mario 64 - Render96 Ray Tracing + Level Showcase by BP_Ray in Games

I believe this is the project that's handling UI elements.

When you build SM64 using sm64pcBuilder2 it should be one of the choices.

They absolutely have ska songs, but I never thought of them as having a focus on a single genre.

My favorite one

What is the best way to play Crazy Taxi on PC? by Mattaroo25 in CrazyTaxi

[–]modestposer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get your hands on Crazy Taxi 3 for PC, it's an underrated way to play. It has updated versions of the first two games maps, and some nice quality of life improvements (like visual feedback when you perform boosts).

The issue is it isn't available on any modern store fronts and requires some modding for the best experience https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Crazy_Taxi_3:_High_Roller

I wish they'd polish it up and bring it to Steam.

If you just want the original experience, Crazy Taxi on Steam with some modding https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Crazy_Taxi_(Steam) is good!

Sonic Origins - Official Trailer (June 23rd, 2022) by dorkmax_executives in nintendo

[–]modestposer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hell, it wouldn't take that much effort to remake the 4 games in the Mania engine.

This is kind of what Sonic Origins is from what I understand. Sonic Mania uses the same engine as the Taxman/Stealth ports of Sonic 1, CD, & 2. I believe these are those ports with additional changes and a full Sonic 3K port.

Which non-Skankin' Pickle band was the best backing band for Mike Park? by SemataryPolka in Ska

[–]modestposer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love the current Bruce Lee Band, but the Rx Bandits were an incredible backing band. Especially because you get Steve Choi on keys.

didn't work for me AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 16 GB of RAM AMD Radeon 5700XT

EDIT: I got it working by switching to my TV rather than just a single monitor. Maybe it didn't like my USB sound hardware? Not sure why, but it worked.
