hatty posted:One of the iPod shuffles used the audio port to charge the battery which blew my mind at the time I've watched charging electric devices go from that, and big rear end ports in the MP3 player and phones, to wireless charging now, it's pretty nuts. I am wondering if we'll ever get wireless power. Just place your computer next to a power socket in the wall, within a few feet, and it just gives it all of the power it needs. Ideally without killing anyone who walks pass it.

homeless snail posted:no, because what exactly are you going to change about it? it does everything it needs to do, there is not a whole lot to analog audio, pretty low frequency and only need 3 wires for stereo, don't need some crazy designed connector. if you want mics or remote control interfaces or whatever you can just add more rings to the jack, and them getting grounded when the rings don't match up on jack/plug is a good fallback mechanism. they designed it 150 years ago and perfected it then, no need to change anything no the real reason is bcos you can just use usb c or something you dont need analog audio on a phone you can throw in a dac wherever, and anywhere you do need analog i/o uve been using better connectors already since the dawn of man. its so unperfect that its never used outside of consumer devices and its big brother the 1/4" is literally the worst connector you use in a studio and a pain in the b*tt to the point everyone has to learn how to solder them back together cos they just break constantly and you never ever buy a 1/4 you cant unscrew to repair. the ring system sucks and is mind bendingly stupid and only increases internal complexity in the jack, which is where 99% of the problems come from bcos the wires just get pulled out because its the stupidest design ever made.

also the 3.5mm jack specifically has such a tiny latch on it compared to the 1/4, t hey didnt scale it down directly for some reason.

homeless snail posted:youre not supposed to pull it out from the cable it doesnt matter where you pull it out from, the inside of a jack is a design made in the 50s and its complete garbage that is built to fall apart. they started hot gluing them in place to try and deal with it. ur confusing momentum for a bad standard with it being good, it isnt, its a complete mess. a decent replacement would have a design that doesnt rotate around, that seperates its signals properly, and is secured in place better, probably something like the macbook mag power or modern usb latching rather than a hard lock like an xlr cos its for portables.

I like USB C because I can use it to charge my switch and my phone so I can have the phone charger in my bedroom and the switch cable with the tv, thus I have a charger for my most frequently used devices in my most frequently used rooms. This is the extent of my opinions on jacks etc

I have them all and they're freaks, its awesome except the 3rd gen which also doesn't work without the original headphones as they put all the controls on those. Its the worst of Apple's design traits and also it gets scarily warm while just charging. It is pretty though, especially the pink one I have.

Jay Rust posted:I was a big, big fan of Spelunky, but why don’t I feel all that interested in checking out the sequel? Could someone tell me? I think it's because for people who spent SO much time on Spelunky and played it until the point where they stopped going back, looking at Spelunky 2 is just a whole new burden of knowledge and things to learn set to what basically looks like the exact same gameplay

We need more William of Baskerville games but idk how well they'd do, I'm only familiar with the one game adaptation of The Name of the Rose and I think it got a remake as well. I am glad others responded because I wanted an excuse to post my own idea but I wanted to know if others were interested in posting their dream ideas first. I have 2 dream ideas, one as basically a fanfic game and the other as its own thing. For the original idea thing, I'd want to make a game in whatever genre you'd consider stuff like Long Live the Queen or Magical Diary, basically the genre of game where you're going through events day-by-day and deciding what you want to do in order to increase stats and gain items and alter relationships with other characters, but instead of being a princess who is prone to dying in terrible ways unless you have the right stats or a magical student who needs to use the right spells in order to pass exams, I'd want it to be about being a homeless person who is just trying to survive the summertime and fall seasons, trying to do their best to secure a safe way through the winter season. As for the more fanfic-ish game, the ending of x-com terror from the deep really bothered me because it was never followed up on. I'd really like to mod openxcom to make a proper terror from the deep sequel. Those games already incorporate various conspiracy theories and alien theories into their world as being true, but while they handled a lot of typical alien concepts regarding aliens from outer space and aliens from the depths of the sea, and eventually aliens from other dimensions in Apocalypse, they never touched on aliens from within Earth itself. I think that the idea of an x-com game about dealing with a sudden rise in attacks from the underground would be cool. There are a lot of unique environments that you could take from the underground, be it catacombs, sewers, caverns, mines, tunnels, lava tubes, crystal caverns, etc. There are also a number of monsters that could come from the underground, from CHUDs to giant insects to molemen and lizardmen and morlocks and sewer mutants and even asuras. It'd give the x-com team a reason to have to come up with transport vehicles to chase after drill tanks and excavation mechanisms to stop manufactured earthquake terror events and having to develop technology to detect and chase underground machinery. It would all lead up to the eventual discovery of the hollow earth city of Agartha and the development of tech that would allow intercepting drill tanks to burrow into Agartha in order to put a stop to the invasions before Apocalypse comes and has it all destroyed regardless.

Stux posted:me, epically coming up with the 3.5mm jack: so what id thought id do is make an analog connector, and make it a cylinder with vertical partitioning, that can move around constantly while plugged in, and the whole thing is held in place with tension embedded in the socket where no one can ever repair it when it inevitably wears out. also the cable is made of freaking paper so it will tear itself apart as it rotates 5000 degrees per minute. This post conjured wonderful images and made me properly belly laugh

The game would have multiple routes and endings depending on the deductions you made on each case and, importantly, wouldn't hint too strongly you've been on the wrong track all along. Of course getting the best ending would involve untangling a particularly convoluted man-behind-the-man-behind-the-man murder plot. Chev fucked around with this message at 10:20 on Sep 16, 2020 |

Yeah, but at the very end you only get two choices and it's more like a moral quandary, right? Like, Sherlock sound more like the Telltale thing where each case has variations but it doesn't really play a significant role in the grand scheme of things. I'm more talking about a whole tree of possibilities ranging from master detective to the Obra Dinn joke ending, and not trough a final choice but as one of several routes your deductions led you through throughout the whole game. Think more along the lines of the route structure of a branching VN, but where the choices are essentially made through the investigations.

Instead of traditional MMO controls it would essentially be a 3D brawler with leveling, classes determine your moveset (which is somewhat customizable ala God Hand), and instead of tank/dps/healing roles you would need to coordinate with your friends to do team moves that can turn the tide of a brawl. The central blocks of the city would essentially constantly be fought over for control by the 6 factions, with various rewards to the players in the faction who controls a given block, but there'd be a strong pve element as well featuring questlines and non player factions to contend with like sewer mutants and desert raiders (the desert did not exist prior to the bombs dropping).

Infinitum posted:lol Nintendo dropping another Direct tomorrow. It's interesting that they seem to just straight up refuse to do a basic Nintendo Direct. They've done loads of mini, indie and partner Directs, and ones for specific games/events (like the Mario one) but no actual proper Directs at all. They've announced and released enough games independent of the Direct structure so maybe they've just gone off the idea and prefer for Directs to focus on other things while they drop game announcements at random.

I’m pretty sure there was a tweet thread about how XLR connectors were being used in the sex toy industry due to the easy of connecting/disconnecting them and their sturdiness. I don’t have strong audio opinions but I know that when I used headphones through the PS4 controller and I have to frequently rotate the plug to get good output to both ears. I’ve been trying to find some mid-tier headphones with mic for my Tabletop Simulator sessions but the best thing I’ve found so far is to just put Discord voice chat on my phone and lay it in front of me, using no headset whatsoever. I’ve been playing the garage where I can talk freely without bothering wife or toddler, but now that it’s getting colder I think that’s gonna have to change. E: found it. Despite the warning the only NSFW bits are a few pictures where “sex” is typed into google and some patent drawings. https://twitter.com/foone/status/1264925104175112192?s=21 LawfulWaffle fucked around with this message at 13:36 on Sep 16, 2020 |

Alternatively, a superhero game focused at least as much on character relationships as fighting. Like with the dragon age 2 friend/rivalry system. Superhero comics are great for mixing human concerns with superhero action, and the games we get just don't capture that.
