Mousepad wrist rests are an ergonomic trap and being in boobie shape probably makes that even worse

(edit) Unless it doesn't actually dip where the cleavage is, hard to tell from the picture, but anyway Bad Products

To even consider using one of those boob mousepads, I think I'd need either a lot more courage or a lot less self-respect. Or both.

Speaking of, Valkyrie Drive has gone live on Amazon and VGP

I'm guessing both include the pre order bonus but only VGP specifies that, plus VGP offers free worldwide shipping.

Is world of Final Fantasy Vita getting a Limited Edition? I've been checking Amazon and the SE store but it looks like they only have PS4.

Apparently instructions were just posted on how to decrypt Vita games and make game mods and hack saves. Nothing about piracy but fan translations are probably not far behind.

I'm thinking about buying a Vita tonight because my PSTV is notoriously loving awful and crash-happy etc, and I have an itch to actually play Atelier Ayesha and Trails of Cold Steel (and maybe other games, one of these days I'll play P4G if nothing else)

The slim and the original are both still in production/on sale, right? Is one notably better than the other for "99% used at home, like on the couch or in the computer chair or whatever" usage? Also I can yank out my PSTV's card and use that in the Vita right? (On a permanent basis, not switching back and forth)

I can't think of many Vita games likely to get fan translations to be honest.

I don't think Sony manufacture the fat Vita any more, but that shouldn't factor into things.

The original Vita has a better screen, but a proprietary charging port. The slim has slightly better battery life (~15%), a micro USB charging port, and a slimmer and slightly lighter profile.

Which of the two you get is down to how much you care about those differences, and budget considerations; you can easily find Vita 1000s second hand for $100, unlike 2000s, but if you don't care and are buying new, you'll get the slim.

The memory card works in all three versions (original/slim/PSTV), so yes.

Cool, thanks, I'll scope out what the Gamestop has and pick from there

Oh I guess the Odin Sphere remake is on Vita too, I thought that was just PS4. Neat, I never saw the original Odin Sphere but heard the remake was a Very Good Game. Some cool stuff to look into tonight. then. :)

(i'd like the better screen of the fatty, probably, but loving fie on proprietary charging ports, eesh)

I'd get the second model hands down. You're already getting skullfucked by proprietary memory cards, you might as well not get skullfucked if/when the charger breaks. Half the time I charge my vita I plug it into my cell phone charger on accident and it doesn't care.

Why are Sega so reluctant to bring Phantasy Star over nowadays anyway, I thought the last games they did bring over did pretty well?

Maybe some of the dungeon crawlers that didn't get brought over here: they're in that spot where they don't tend to have unmanageably huge amounts of text but what's there is pretty necessary to play the game. Like, at this point I don't think prospects are very good for Operation Babel getting an official translation even though its prequel came over here, so that'd be one candidate.

Oh really, drat. I remember reading that it was a big improvement over Lord of Arcana. Then again, that game was pretty bland too, lol. Oh well. Still seconding Phantasy Star Nova translation.

This is what I did because it felt better and I didn't notice a difference in the screens anyway and gently caress proprietary ports

One of the bigger dick moves. "Hey here's this big rear end tower that popped up after blowing up the enemy base in space...but we'll get to that later. See you next time suckers!"

Then I read Babel sold like poo poo in Japan and realized it'll probably never make it over here. So yes that'd be a big one. Also the updated Sword City but that...might? make it over. Never know.

You might be able to find someone selling a used one cheap but buying new your choices are bending over or waiting for a blue moon sale. I remember black friday Gamestop put 16gb cards on sale but they were cleaned out pretty quickly.

I get the feeling from initial playtime that I'm gonna be loving around with Odin Sphere for a while :3:

After that, I forgot I'd bought Trails of Cold Steel at some point on the PSTV so I guess I'm playing that before I look at Atelier Ayesha

Lot of good games to try!!
