Anyone else watching anything this season? Kaiju No 8 is a pretty good adaptation. I am a fan of the source material, so I'm happy the anime is doing it justice. Same goes for Viral Hit. Viral Hit can be a tough watch, though. It is about a small kid trying to beat up bullies, so there's a lot of bullies beating down helpless kids. Still a good manhwa, especially when it starts picking up steam. Also, I've got a fun sleeper hit. Train to the End of the World. The anime was not at all on my radar, but I'm loving it three episodes in. It's a weirdo, monster of the week sort of thing. I can barely describe the anime without sounding like a crazy person. Some tech company rolls out 7G and it tears apart the fabric of reality. Some people turn into animals, others become mushrooms. It's so delightfully weird. Random, but what the hell is up with all the music anime this season? Whisper Me a Love Song was pretty cute. However, it's criminal that of all the musicals this season, the anime with the best music was not licensed to stream anywhere outside of Japan. Girls Band Cry, easily, has the best music of any of the musicals airing right now. I mean, that's not a very high bar to clear since the only musical anime in recent memory with legitimately good music is Bocchi the Rock. Still, that feels like an odd miss to just pass up a Toei anime starring a bunch of fresh faces from a talent hunt across Japan.

I've been following the story about Dimension 20 on Reddit and their Discord. It really seems like their checkout crashes a lot. Then, when folks come back after the site is working again, prices are through the roof. I don't know if they're purposefully crashing carts, but I'd strongly believe it if they just refuse to properly scale their site. It's such a "happy coincidence" that the time they hope to raise prices is also when the site is being hammered and people in the queue with tickets selected at one price can't check out.

What is high level in this game? I'm at level 45 at the beginning of the Gemini main mission.

Police straight up smother a man to death. He wasn't suspected of any actual crime, but was in the hospital for a mental health crisis. This is an older story, but the department finally lost the flight to keep the video from going public. I could not watch the video because I don't really feel like watching a man die while screaming "I can't breath".

I'm not sure anyone is going to top this performance.

Wasn't it free and then access to some features or some boards or maybe the whole thing was put behind a paywall or something? I remember it being fully free when I first registered and then it went to paid and I got to sneak in under the radar because I wrote a few terrible articles for them back when I was in college.

I am so much more productive at home than I was in the office. That said, part of that might be the no stress from traveling 1.5 hours, one way. Another part is that I'm mostly on the server, services, and policy side of IT where as half the office anyways thinks IT is IT and I spend so much time trying to bat away laptop and phone questions. I do miss the free beer and ice cream, though.

Trigger haptics in this game aren't great. If you want to really enjoy the trigger haptics on PC, Season A Letter to the Future is where it's at. I literally bought my Dualsense for that game. The feel of the bicycle pedals and camera shutter are great. The game, itself, is mostly fine. I enjoyed my time with it, but I also enjoy these kinds of weird little exploration games. Otherwise, I don't particularly find the haptics on the Dualsense all that wild outside of the triggers. I find Nintendo's HD Rumble to be better, but even then you only ever really notice it in like 1 2 Switch where it feels like magic.

Left stick is suffering from some wild drift and jittering. Enough that even using DS4Windows and maxing out the dead zone won't stop it from drifting. This controller has less than a hundred hours on it. Forbidden West is literally only the second game I've ever played on it, and the first was that Seasons game where you're riding your bike and taking pictures of everything. I took it apart. Used contact cleaner on the sticks. Nothing. I've got some new hall effect replacement sticks coming in later this week. Should just be a quick solder job. Really would have been nice if they'd gone with screws and a ribbon to make swapping this out nice and easy.

Well, since my Dualsense shit the bed, I'm playing Open Roads over on Gamepass. Always up for one of these narrative heavy Annapurna Interactive games.

Now I wish I would have started that way. However, I'm 60 hours into the game and it felt weird trying to change control schemes so far into the game. Guess I'm not playing any more Forbidden West until I find some Hall Effect joysticks I can toss into this thing. Also, I need to not be lazy about it because, unlike Nintendo, Sony decided to go all solder points on the sticks in the Dualsense. Nintendo's sticks are held in with screws as a single ribbon, no soldering required. Well, just picked up these... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNWYWCYN ...let's see how well they work. Reviews on YouTube seem pretty good. They are only $2 on AliExpress, but I would like them this week not sometime next month.
