Apparently-better-than-ASIO low-latency audio has been added into mainline MAME, will be in the next build I guess.

I assume this is a good thing why is it a good thing what is it?

Basically up until this point, the audio in MAME ā€œlaggedā€ slightly behind visuals by default, primarily to keep things running smoothly. This update means that audio can play more in sync with visuals with less effort, which means more accurate emulation. I’d imagine it’ll mainly help a lot with rhythm games and the like.

hello, thread

are you interested in esports? do you like dropping in to things you know nothing about, out of curiosity? are you reading this thread right now? well, I’m here to tell you that the best starcraft brood war terran player of all time is currently playing the best starcraft brood war zerg player of all time in the semifinals of a tournament. competitive korean brood war is experiencing a bit of a post death renaissance, right now. these two players represent the biggest rivalry in the history of competitive starcraft. they haven’t played a competitive series against one another in, I dunno, probably five years.

I don’t know how Newell is somehow the arch-nerd but also deflects fanboyism like an aikido master.

He just became a meme, it’s easy

He is beyond

this had a full release and looks better than a lot of similar stuff, any takers?

Am I wrong or is Chuck Tingle’s thing basically ā€œha ha gay sexā€ but linguistically presented slightly differently to make it seem palatable to people who’d normally be offended by that schtick

uhhh that seems like an overly joyless read, it’s simultaneously a gag on harlequin romance novels that get shoveled out at impossible speed & ebulliently over the top, I find it very hard not to like. plus zoe quinn c’mon.

UNRELATED – if, like me, you still haven’t tried Nioh:

i thought the first nioh demo was bad and the second was a huge improvement. but although it all seemed mechanically great and balanced etc the second time round i found it absolutely miserable to play.

Hey guys there was a Fire Emblem thing today BUT

Sekai Project announced the Fire Emblem-like doujin game I’ve been working on the translation for! Please Look Forward to It. It’s really good!

Sure, but why is it all man-on-man

Is lesbian sex unfunny

I think maybe the tingler has just been riffing on ā€œpoundingā€ for too long at this point, but he would probably take ā€œPounded in the Butt by the Suggestion that I Incorporate More Lesbian Sex Into My Workā€ to heart

Can’t say any classic one-liners are leaping to mind but

Fear the Void

(The vagina is a void, you see)

I never thought I’d ever say this, but I think you’re taking Chuck Tingle’s material too seriously.
