sonic the hedgehog [2006]

i just finished sonic's story and tbh my biggest problem with it (besides the human princess love interest) is that the camera is determined to focus on the ground whenever you land. mach speed is actually kinda fun? i can definitely see how it lays the building blocks for the boost games. you just have to accept that while most games are about being in control, sonic 06 is about coping with not being in control

Wasn't 100% sure on which thread to ask in, but what's the state nowadays of streaming games from PC to a smartphone/tablet ? I seem to remember it being a bit laggy but it was several years ago I last tried it. Would just be using one of those dualshock 4 phone mount thingys to control the game.

I tried using Steam Link a couple of times. If you have really good wifi penetration it's probably fine. I was able to play turn-based games but wouldn't want to do anything requiring twitch-reflex precision

Apparently in the Switch version they got around that by just making your partner completely invincible, not sure if they’re still playable though or if you just control Neku while your partner is an AI.

But the Switch is too big for me to comfortably play the game with just my fingers. I wish they would have added button controls in as an option.

There are two gameplay modes.

In undocked/single mode, you control Neku while your partner is a glorified attack pin. When docked you can use co-op mode to have the partner on screen at all times with three exclusive attack pins, but they're invincible.

Thats awful. There's a lot of uniqe and cool things about TWEWY but the unique dual screen battle system is one of the coolest. How do you even deal with the taboo noise?

The light puck has now been replaced with cross combos, you have to hit a taboo noise with a partner and Neku attack at the same time to deal damage.

depends on what you mean by that precision, because if you mean fighting games obviously not. but i played through Dandara, Recursed, Owlboy, Treasure Adventure World, and Kunai over Steam Link fine

main issue is just dealing with wifi interference, which happens in a major city. it's annoying. if there's no interference then it's all good

Those are some games I wouldn't want to play on the Steam Link, even with a green signal doing platforming felt bad even if the input lag was nominal.

Action games with no precision like an Assassin's Creed are probably fine, I guess that's why Stadia used it as their testbed

if the input lag is below 100ms i'm usually fine. i'm not that sensitive to it

i guess i didn’t realize until now that when you “consider” an inventory item they’re literally taking it out of their pocket to look at it and it’s not just a visual representation of what they’re thinking about

300 is a real good movie about propaganda and advertising much like the third hunger game film.

It's very strange to me how historical movies always depict Persians as being dark-skinned or vaguely Arab with a little smoky eye when Persians were like, the OG white people. Iran literally means "land of the Aryans," the Caucasus Mountains were smack dab in the middle of the Persian Empire!
