[ Sascha has Learned His Lesson.

One doesn't simply hop into someone's bed while their sleeping and/or naked, because the results in getting kicked in the face. And yelled at a whole lot. No...what one should do is knock first!

...And then hop into their bed while they're asleep.

Lesson. Totally. Learned.

But really let's face it, this guy is an idiot and he most certainly is going to meander around over the course of the month and find those nice, comfy warm beds of yours, Fleeters. SO TRY NOT TO SMACK HIM TOO HARD, he could become even more dumb if you do.

At least he does this with the best intentions right? ]


[ ooc; THIS IS FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTED SASCHA IN THEIR BEDS. Or anyone who wants him in their bed now. They can be awake, asleep, asleep not exactly in their room--anything! Tag in and he will be there. ]

[huaaaaagh]

Yeah, exactly. With video games, it's more like... you get to direct what happens in the movie you watch. You play through the story, controlling the main character. It's meant to be more interactive.

[pneumo]

So....I can choose the story and stuff??

[huaaaaagh]

Sometimes. It really depends on the game. A lot of them just let you guide the character through the story. Some games don't have story at all, you just play them.

It's probably easier to show you, hang on.

[Gonna fiddle with the comm... he's pretty sure he saw a few crappy retro games on there.]

[pneumo]

[ Teach Sascha a new hobby to ruin his eyes even further Kirito!! Though for the moment he'll just be peering over his shoulder curiously. ]

[huaaaaagh]

[what a terrible influence he is

Flappy Marsiva is the first one that pops up on the list, so Kirito loads that one up and tilts it so Sascha can see.]

Okay, this is a video game. It's not a very good one, but you can get the gist of it. If this was a movie, you'd just watch it, yeah? But instead, you have to interact. By tapping the screen-

[Look, look how it bounces around the obstacles!

Look how it crashes horribly because this game is terrible!]

[pneumo]

[ Oh my gosh look at it move look at it go THIS GAME IS NEAT. Just watch--he'll be playing for hours. ]

--It jumped!

[huaaaaagh]

[Introducing someone new to video games is one of life's greatest delights.]

Yeah, it did. It'll do that every time the screen gets tapped. Want to try?

[pneumo]

[ More rewarding than raising children tbh ]

Yes please...! How do I do it?? Just tap the screen??

[huaaaaagh]

[unless your children live in the video games, and then you can multitask.]

Yeah, exactly. Go for it.

[He offers the comm out. Go on, buddy, get addicted.]

[pneumo]

[ flappy yui ]

Okay! [ He'll take the communicator and try to get the hang of it...but obviously he is no gaming whiz here. The bird thing drops immediately on start because he was too slow LMAO ]

[huaaaaagh]

[don't give him any ideas.]

Try hitting it just before you want it to jump. There's a bit of an input lag. It takes some time to figure out the timing, believe me.

[pneumo]

What's input lag mean? [ boop. boop........BAM. Okay flappy game, one more try. ]

[huaaaaagh]

It's basically the difference in time between when you touch the screen and when the game reacts. Almost all games have it, and minimizing the lag is an important part of development.

[You want boring dev talk while you play, right?]

[pneumo]

[ Kirito is talking and spending time with him, this is exactly what he wants. ]

Ohh...how do you do that though?

1/2

[huaaaaagh]

It mostly has to do with optimizing the code to match the machinery it's running on, since that varies a lot from player to player. You can create a series of customization options and make it available to the player, so they can decide the max framerate, graphical settings, controller input, and--

[huaaaaagh]

[wait Sascha didn't even know what video games were five minutes ago.

....

HE'S NOT GOOD AT THIS]

Uh... basically you let the player decide how the game works.

[pneumo]

[ YEAH HE kind of understood none of that, but he's never heard Kirito talk so enthusiastically about anything before? So even if he's still battling and struggling with the input lag and squinting at the screen, he's happy to listen to the other babble. ]

....Hehe. You really like this kinda stuff!

[huaaaaagh]

That's... a nice way to put it, yeah.

[More like he's a giant obsessive nerd, but sure, let's go with that.]

I grew up with video games, so it's definitely a long-term passion of mine. One of the hardest parts about being stuck here is the limited entertainment, to be honest.

[pneumo]

You mean like games and stuff to play? [ Sasxha grew up ENTIRELY WITHOUT the age of entertainment, sorry Kirito. He can't empathize at all 6u9 ]

[huaaaaagh]

Yeah, exactly. I've never been good at the usual social-hangout sort of thing... I spent a lot of time playing games with people or just by myself, instead.

[He leans back against his pillow, relaxing since Sascha's got his comm and he therefore he has nothing to do with his hands.]

[pneumo]

[ And normally Sascha would just follow him...but he's starting to really get into this game now, tapping the screen quickly. ]

I think you do a great job at hanging out! We're doing it right now~

[huaaaaagh]

Yeah, we're hanging out. Playing video games.

[This is what he's good at, buddy.]

[pneumo]

[ It's te best way to hang out but you know what would be even better??

LYING SIDE BY SIDE AND SLEEPING. ]

A really hard one...!

[huaaaaagh]

[With nothing to keep him occupied he is not long for this world. Look, he's already yawning.]

No kidding. Honestly, I'm pretty good at games, and even I have trouble with that one. It's not very well designed, but somehow it's really addictive.

[pneumo]

[ Yesss good. KEEP DOZING, he just needs to get past, you know. 5. ]

How high have you gotten??
