@SuricrasiaOnline I think the upcoming one has 48/96 and maybe 64/128 on a refresh? Dunno yet

@SuricrasiaOnline that's maybe 1-3 ryzen generations away

scrumbus

haha nice

Scrumbus?

@envgen also very fat. Lots of petting surface area

@envgen they're like sharp miniature dogs

@Duende@snouts.online they permanently lock at the slightest sign of trouble

@tom I think the real question is how I know any of this

@tom if the microcontroller isn't set up with the thermostat logic I doubt you'll get anything off the ports but it'll be interesting to see either way

@tom I should say my theory is component reuse because it looks like the exact same display and board as thermostats I've seen the inside of- just a different case

@tom thermostats are thermometers that put DC down a specific pin when temperature is between A and B

@tom could be a reused board! Also they could be testing points or for flashing the microcontroller but it looks like none of those

@tom the pins on thermometers are usually jumpers that signal different climate control mechanisms (fans, radiators, etc) to turn on

@body@mastodon.social USB recovery media is a thing as of maybe 2009

@body@mastodon.social my main problems with sonic personally is the physics suck unless you're going very fast, and going very fast makes it hard to react to oncoming obstacles and this fixes those things

@body@mastodon.social basically a racing game where high level play involves slinging your character through small gaps and across big, precise jumps. If you want you can stop to search for special items or a hidden halfpipe level

@body@mastodon.social I would de-emphasise combat & make something between platformer & racer, with stages like 3D versions of sonic stages; intertwined tracks, with the shortest one being the hardest to stay on. Your character would operate like one in any 3rd person game, with a dedicated sprint toggle that makes them operate like an arcadey car. I may have a combat system that's just generic brawling that you can skip by blowing through enemies at speed, scattering them like bowling pins

@body@mastodon.social I know how to make a fun sonic game but I'm not aware of any implementation of what I have in mind
