Yeah itch+discord is pretty much why people don’t see me hanging out or buying games on Steam these days.

What’s the best Metroidy/Hyperlight game on itchio?
[quote][quote=“Felix, post:4030, topic:197, full:true”]it’s not clear how popular they will ever become (e.g. whether they’ll be a stock addition to a desktop PC)

FPGAs are really slow compared to a fixed microchip. But they can sometimes be faster than an algorithm running on a non-custom chip. So they fall into these small-scale niche that are important enough to justify hardware, but not important enough to justify mass-produced hardware. For example, bitcoin mining went from CPU -> GPU -> FPGA -> proper microchips as it scaled up.

Speaking of, neural net coprocessors are already past the point of FPGA:

It feels like FPGAs are in this weird spot like tape drives. Always gonna be around for niche purposes (just like tapes are still used for cold archival backups), never mainstream.
Where are you that people aren’t constantly bitching about details about the things they like and don’t like all the time?
I slam open the door knocking over @VastleCania and the tastey snack tray.
DID SOMEONE SAY STEINS;GATE??

In hot fashion news. There was a shop in Akiba that had a bunch of sega shoes and bags and also Terrible Quality iron-on level shirts of Megadrive Boxart covers (Landstalker, altered beast, shinobi). They came in oversized clamshell boxes of the games. I would have bought one if they werent made of horrible fabric and terrible and overpriced.
Instead I bought a shirt with high class toriyama art for seven dollars.

I’d wear a low quality landstalker shirt in a heartbeat.
Suitably rad
lovely tech
I hope they get music to replace “Corporate Success / Upbeat #3” from the demo track soon because I couldn’t hit that mute fast enough

oh wow cool!
I’ve noticed that the only UE4 games that look good have that sort of weird clay effect to them, idk what that’s about
If there’s a music volume slider I think this might be a cool game to provide your own soundtrack to
Proud to be among the couple dozen people in the world looking forward to Senko no Ronde 2 just for the soundtrack. I have no idea how G-Rev et al justified a sequel or how it will be profitable, but there must be some audience…

Just got this for 4 bucks. As with all Taito mobile games, the soundtrack was worth the price of admission alone, and the crossover, well, just makes sense.

I actually visited Matthew Brown’s site a couple weeks back as I was curious if there was any sign of another one of these coming up. I know what I’m playing Friday.
