    That's really disappointing. Especially since the problem is more or less solved for VR. They interpolate a new frame based on the current one and the previous one to keep frame rates high when the system is struggling to deliver the headset's native frame rate. Since a stable high frame rate and latency are both very important to reduce motion sickness, there's no games played. Oculus calls it spacewarp, I forget what Valve's equivalent is.

    There's a light at the end of the tunnel here. A standard US power socket is only rated for 15 amps at 120 VAC. And with mandatory safety margins, that's a sustained power draw of 1200 watts. Without rewiring homes for 20-amp or 240V outlets, they are banging near the limits of what they have access to and performance gains have to be earned with efficiency.

    Baby photos. Did you SEE what the tiniest Jenius did to those soldiers?

    Funny, I just got back into R-Type Final 2 myself. Only my copy says "Space Cosmo Fantasia" on the title screen. (The ability to change the title remains one of the funniest options I've seen in a game.)

    I haven't played Deedlit yet, but I've sunk a bunch of time into the dev's previous Metroid-em-up, Touhou Luna Nights. Sounds like Deedlit's very similar. I consider that a good thing.

    Stolen Valor case. Mark my words.

    It seems quite likely that the recent mega-licensing announcement train will see new disk releases of most of the franchise, though I don't think anything's set in stone yet. I personally, am looking forward to adding a few BluRays to my shelves once it happens. It is worth noting, however, that several Macross shows have already had home video releases in the west. SDF Macross, Macross II, and western fan-favorite Macross Plus have all seen release on DVD in the past. These disks, though all out of print, should be fairly easy to find today. And though it never made the leap to digital video, the golden child DYRL saw multiple releases in the days of video tape. Most of these were licensed before Harmony Gold "realized" they "owned rights" to the entire franchise in the early 2000s anime boom. SDF Macross(the only show they ever had legitimate rights to, and everybody knew it) was actually sublicensed by Harmony Gold to two other companies.

    And we all GREATLY appreciate that they aren't just winging it, Apollo 1-style. We're goin' back to the moon, and NOT killing anyone to get there. Just... it's been a long wait, and these latest delays are frustrating. Especially since there's a very aggressive schedule for Artemis 2's manned lunar flyby in 2024 and Artemis 3's return to the lunar surface in 2025... and this schedule hinges on ACTUALLY LAUNCHING ARTEMIS 1 AT SOME POINT. (It was honestly doubtful for a while that they were going to keep this schedule, but... hope springs eternal.)

    I stand corrected. Fortunately, the ill effects of video game addiction can be cured by a simple flashlight set to strobe. No worries!

    Wasn't this originally supposed to be about STDs anyways?

    Get a third and set 'em up in Charlie's Angels poses.

    "Acme 0/0 ejection seat! 100% guaranteed! Not for use in Roadrunner accidents"

    Feels more like Wile E. Coyote.

    Aaaaand delayed again. Launch windows on September second and fifth, and if they can't make either of those, the rocket's gotta go back to the vehicle assembly building again.

    Moonshot hype! Don't falter now, we can't keep pushing this launch back. My heart can't take it!
  16. JB0
    Hopefully the inertia storage systems are still online.

    On the other hand, riding the jet into a mountain is also upsettingly lethal. Goose wasn't any worse off. An ejection seat is a chance at survival. I can't, Mav, I'm dead!

    Further proof that the B-52 will never retire.

    He can still build the Ent-D as she appeared in the end of Generations!

    I know some states require toy guns to be brightly-colored all over, yeah. And no one wants G2-colors Gun Megatron.
  21. JB0
    US toy laws are wildly overprotective because you can get anything passed by saying "think of the children". And I may be the minority, but I want another Nerf Classics Megatron.

    Oh man, a new Peg? I think I need this. He's gonna munch so munch energon-flavor pocky.
  23. JB0
    Maybe they'll cast someone who looks like Robotnik this time.
  24. JB0
    Like Spy Shot 6?
  25. JB0
    Much nicer than another Optibotimus.
