Buckojam soonAmi's game for it is already outhttps://x.com/amiyaaranha/status/1807629005706625190https://amiyaaranha.itch.io/buckross
>>79689234I believe that this webm was first posted in /vrt/ by hespera herself.
>>79689370Buckross sounds like Bob Ross game, not Bucko-Picross
>>79689129Has she considered emigrating? I know it isn’t that simple but…
>>79688430I like how her default look is so smug, very cuteAlso she hasn't used save states yet that Ive seen so that also a plus
>>79689756Happy little buckos
>>79689853I haven't done picross is so long, I suck at these. Ami must have made them hard for some reason, usually these games start easy.
>>79689370I never understood picross

>>79692782Tell me your secrets chocolate woman!
Any Ami watchers know if she already knows about the new Sega Neptune release?
>>79694140I haven't heard her mention it but wouldn't discount it.
Which version of SMB2 was the one Ami showed that had the horrible voice acting in it? I thought it was the GBA.

Lumi was caking in her own sweat today. I really hope she has AC in the office
>>79737924Those cheapstakes put the AC at 28 degrees with outside temperature around 30...Just why bother?
>>79738052>The Cool Biz campaign is a Japanese campaign initiated by the Japanese Ministry of the Environment from mid-2005 as a means to help reduce Japanese electricity consumption by limiting the use of air conditioning. This was enabled by changing the standard office air conditioner temperature to 28 °C (82 °F) and introducing a liberal summer dress code in the bureaucracy of the Japanese government so staff could work in the warmer temperature. The campaign then spread to the private sector.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Biz_campaign
>>79738052It might help with humidity at least.

I’m surprised that Lumi kept assassin’s creed in her schedule this week after what happened last time but she is made of tougher stuff.
I think Lumi won't finish X-com this week. Last mission is has three maps. Hopefully she will prepare enough ammo
>>79739627She could use her extra bots for it!
Joru said we're gonna be excited for her playthrough of Megaman Legends since she has something special prepared. Low poly model incoming?
>>79740065I bet you’re right. Low poly models are increasingly common and legends is the perfect game for them since the typical low poly model style matches it the closest.

Nonretro games are so “cinematic”.

Lumi is trying to say Deus Ex...We are getting through her!
>>79747095Maybe she means do sex? She can be very lewd.
>>79744252>>79745898>>79746602>>79746778There are zoomers in this very thread that insist 7th gen will be retro soon LMAOOOO
Lumi gone…
>>79747204I expect it to be considered retro before the end of the decade. Even /vr/ already updated their rules about cutoffs in the past.
Meche's mouth rigging needs a bit of work. The mouth is just open all the time. Or is this her idea of sexy?
>>79747408Some chuubas just hold their mouths open when at rest.But Meche has said she intends to keep working on her mouth rigging so it can better match and detect her smiles.
>>79747356We are going by Ami's rules from now on. Anything younger than psx is not retro
>>79747204We need to pre-emptively lock the cutoff in place where it is, in case /vr/ moves theirs again
>>79747455It more of mouth not closing when she speaks half of the time. Like it didn't track her lips moving
>>79747458>We are going by Ami's rules from now on. Anything younger than psx is not retroI can’t believe the genesis and snes aren’t retro anymore, where did the time go?
>>79747458I liked the anything <2000 rule, and even the current status quo, although I'll accept almost anything to exclude ps360 era
>>79747470/vr/ excludes psp and ds currently and gimmick games can feel very dated/retro in the modern era. The timing is odd too where games can be /vr/ retro because of a PC release while an earlier game isn’t.
>>79747458Ami has repeatedly said she considers gen6 retro.
>>79747071she would accidentally put herself to sleep in the first 15 minutes
>>79747997Yuma has done multiple Morrowind book reading streams before.
Meche added a pokemon gold stream that isn’t on her schedule this week because she forgot about it when making the schedule.
Meche gone…
bye bye /vrt/
>>79748307But Ami is still streaming!
>comfy Meche jp youth adventure game>comfy Ami Morrowind ASMRHealing compared to the agony of buggy modern games
>>79748307Sweet dreams
>>79748307nini
Book reading ASMR is nice because it simplifies things on the chuubas part and let’s them go longer.
>>79749340The only problem is that Ami is not getting embarassed and giggling. Whenever she tries to do some kind of situational roleplay-thing, she can't hold it together
>>79749612Which makes it work better as ASMR but less good as an “Ami ASMR”. Some get so silly and giggly that she needs to end them early.
On the retro question, on top of release year and platform, I think the production budget is a factor as well. With the advance of technology, the production costs keep shooting upwards and gave rise to the AAA industry with studios of hundreds of specialists working on single games whereas in the 80s and 90s games tended to be made by smaller teams often with one person doing multiple roles overlapping between design, programming and art despite not being officially trained for some of the disciplines. It's easy to say vague negative things about these "Hollywoody" AAA games how they're cinematic, railroaded, dumbed down, appealing to lowest common denominator, cliche, unoriginal and safe, etcetera but it's harder to quantify what's wrong with them exactly and why the current gens and some gens teetering on the "retro" cutoff point are guilty of this and why the sentiment is so strong to dislike them.Modern indies are by no possible definition retro but their production has more in common with studios of the past whereas AAA studios have more in common with Hollywood production.Games that are outside the profit-driven safe investment AAA industry, these "small studio high quality passion project" games no matter the release year are an unclassified category of games that I feel like myself and many retro/indie/horror chuubas too seem to just chime with. Retro game studios can't be classified as indie (since they might've been contracted or in-house) and indies can't be classified as retro (due release year) despite the unnamed overlap.
>>79749996Half of that money goes to useless diversity hires that are paid for doing nothing and DEI consultant companies like SBI
>>79750176It truly is sickening.
>>79749996I find interesting that retro-esque nostalgia games have advanced as well. In previous years you saw games like Shovel Knight that wanted to reference the NES or SNES eras, but as time goes on we now see retro inspired games inspired instead by the PSX and it’s era with games like Lunacid and an endless slew of PSX-esque horror slop. In years past the rough PSX 3D graphics were met with scorn compared to the “clean” pixel art before it but now people are liking it so much they even get vtuber models inspired by it.Things like this make me believe it is only a matter of time until the cycle continues and repeats as generations age and turn over.
Ami gone…
https://www.twitch.tv/margohave any of you guys heard of this game? anyways margo's showing it off
>>79750525Apparently a PS1 horror adventure. Never seen it before, so this should be interesting
>>79750459>Things like this make me believe it is only a matter of time until the cycle continues and repeats as generations age and turn over.I would buy this if games released 7th gen weren't indistinguishable from those of today
>>79750779Wiimote waggle games or touch gimmick games like rubrabbits seem different from those of the modern era but maybe that is due to that sort of game moving toward phones and lower budgets.
>>79750760It is a 1st person horror adventure game with FMVs.
>>79751021I think wiimote waggle games are plenty alive to this day via VR wagglan. Or did you have some other type of difference in mind?
>>79751214VR is still alive?
>>79750459I think that's a matter of tools and game engine availability also increasing over time. There exist libraries upon libraries on how to do PSX style rendering out of the can and say what you will but I think it's a better stylistic choice than sharp blender crud that will look like gm_flatgrass. And yeah there's tons of slop, lower barrier to entry means more chaff but also more wheat that I'm all for. Insert that boring old truism, the law that 99% of everything is shit or whatever.
>>79751783I think that 10 years ago there wouldn’t be the audience or interest in games that throwback to that era and style in the way there is today even if people had the same access to developing in that style.
>>79752063I suppose you're right that late 00s and early-to-mid 10s indie games tended to have a lot more sidescrollers and other 2D style games that predated the 3D games but it also may be up in the air on whether that was en effect of developer/audience trends or technology availability.
