Okay, I'm lost here. I'm using the OLD legacy shader pipeline plus Amplify, because it's predictable and fast and I'm doing content on Quest. If I were to start a new project, what exactly would I be using?

It would be amazing if the running gag was that Seth Rogan got kicked from EVERY show

What are the pants that she's wearing though. It's always bugged me. Is that like leather underwear over black denim or what. Ma'am exactly what are you doing there

You should use this as an excuse to rewatch Danger 5

Oh no the end of this game is so catastrophically bad I cannot recommend this game to anybody

Back in the day we would head up to the brewery and do the full brewing course where we would make our own beer using their equipment, fun beyond belief, we never put anything too weird into the batches though but they would tell us all about the weird shit that other people would put in there

I haven't been here for a really long time. I want to see a full report!

Inherently perfect, down to the choreography based on the harpoon throw and the dizzys at the end. Dying

I assume they are rare because Model 3 boards are nightmares. Gigantic, hot, and require a secondary power supply with weird voltages, not to mention medium-resolution monitors! I got VF3 running in my old Astro City cab and it nearly killed me (and my arcade tech buddy)

At the ALGO Arcade in Kobe, there are TWO four-player Spikeout stations, and there's a giant stack of Model 3 boards and harnesses on a wire rack because they wouldn't fit inside the cabinets they're using

I am there Day One for every Disaster Report release. I highly encourage them to explore any avenue they please, especially if it brings the frame rate into the low tens

This is the weirdest sanity-be-damned game I've played since DISASTER REPORT 4, and I'm not saying it's good or bad, I'm just saying the number of double-takes I've done had extended into the dozens

I'm wrapping up my playthrough of the Rika Suzuki (Hotel Dusk) game DARK AUCTION, a game that would make any WWII historian poop blood.

That report suddenly made me feel like I was working in a shrinking niche market. Probably how the pinball dudes felt back in the mid 90s.

I just sent out a script with hundreds of essentially unlocalizable gags to translate into 15 languages. Kicking myself for not putting piglatin in there JUST TO SEE how they handle it in Arabic.

Song in the Smoke had six rocks that you couldn't climb on top of, and three rocks that you could climb on top of (navrocks). Generating the convex collision meshes for them with the special grabbable points was a content authoring nightmare.

MOS stands for Micro Organism Sized as far as I'm concerned, Dom Dom looks superior in all ways

I am so glad to see this game get some recognition, Ghost Town is absolutely awesome and does tech art black magic that I've never seen in a VR headset before. Yes, I saw the animated spinning lighthouse beam reflected in the reflections. What a bunch of maniacs!

Nobody ever shows the back cover of the album, which is her enjoying some delicious dolphin sushi after Judo slamming Flipper into the ground
