The first sentence of that review also describes the game as a "propulsive throwback".

propulsive

Uh. Make that what you will.

I have an old gmail account that's just my first name initial and my last name.

Occasionally I get mails from shady people, like "coaches" spewing pseudoscientific fake psychology bullshit. Turns out there's a guy that barely knows how to write and has a similar name to mine who regularly gives my address to people.

I tried telling them about the address (there was what I assume was a family contact in CC). I don't think it registered at all. Makes me rather uneasy.

Obligatory what the fuck is wrong with how the US pays service people.

Tipping is for special appreciation, not basic sustenance.

Farmers have been protesting everywhere, they've turned signs upside down here and there as a way to raise awareness. Probably more in rural areas, obviously.

Not sure if for solidarity or just a case of not caring enough, but some places have not fixed the signs since. I know there are a few left in Britanny too.

I can imagine that.

Reminds me of my experience with a rhythm game/RPG of sort from some time ago, that had battles being played like Dance Dance Revolution games. Only you had to switch in real time between 3 alternative charts to attack/defend/heal.

It's probably not actually meant for using with an actual DDR dance mat, but it's a feature if you want to, and, well, I have mats. However there's the problem of all those non-arrow commands, like switching panels, and it's a bit much for just feet. So the way I tried it was using a controller for actions while I stepped to the arrow charts.

My conclusion : coordinating all that stuff is fucking hard.

They exist for gaming, but mostly just in racing controllers, since, well, those simulate vehicles with pedals. But yeah, in theory they're just analog foot buttons indeed.

That prosthesis is controlled through feet. if all you want is pushing more buttons, there is no need for that extra finger, you can achieve the same with pedals.

All that time we though image generation AI couldn't count, really it has been telling us to invent more fingers.

I sure do. A lot of it is Beat Saber, but it is quite a lot.

I'll get a PS5 in like, 4 years. Maybe. If I find something I absolutely need on it.

Nice "crossover" Microsoft. Know what, put some Fable or Hi-Fi Rush in Call of Duty next, I'm sure that's what the fans really want.

I am sure marketing people have concluded I was in the minority, but I developed a complete aversion to clicking on something with that kind of title.

Oh yeah, this trend that is killing games. Respectfully, fuck off, gameranx.
