  • Maybe a small condenser microphone. The Samson Go is a bit old (not that consumer-grade microphone tech has changed much) but it’s small and just plugs into a laptop with a USB port. There are probably newer small models that do a better job and I’m not aware of its existence.

    I suspect a conferencing type product will have the same issue since it’s made to record sound coming from like two feet away from the mic

    This is the case with dynamic microphones (the microphones typically used for live events), but condenser microphones are usually very sensitive and will pick up almost every bit of noise with enough gain.

    I’ve seen like giant fuzzy mics used on movie sets - should I look for something like that?

    These are condenser shotgun microphones. The ones used in movie sets use XLR and need some kind of audio recorder (you’ll be carrying a lot of stuff with you). There are small ones that use 3.5mm connectors though (usually made for cameras). You need to have this pointed at the sound source at all times (hence why you see people manually operating these in a movie set).

    Anyway, I recommend looking into handhelds with built-in microphones (like the Zoom H1) so you can move it around easily.

  • I’m about >1hr in so I more or less just completed the tutorial(?). I have to set the game at 200% render scaling because the anti-aliasing is terrible at 100%. The mouth movement is a bit odd and the characters move strangely sometimes. There’s also a lot going on in the UI and it’s not nearly as clean as P3R. There are text boxes that kind of hover around your screen in the city. I’d much prefer it was anchored on the NPCs instead.

    Also MC’s face looks funny in some angles.

    Other than that, the game looks really good. I think they made the atmosphere quite well. I wasn’t sure I was going to like it at first as I’m not the biggest fan of fantasy but the introduction with the man talking about “fantasy” was interesting enough.

    I’ll finish the demo this weekend but I’ll buy and play the game after I play the other Persona games first.






  • This thread is like 2 months old and I’m rewatching the episodes of the threads I missed on, so let’s go through this via screenshots.

    I’m pretty convinced this toilet sign is Ougi and Nadeko. I think it’s easy to forgot that Ougi is a boy now.

    We finally got the opening for Nademonogatari which features both Kana Hanazawa and Saori Hayami. I don’t know if Nademonogatari is the first time I’ve heard the two together. Both their voices share this characteristic I can’t describe in English but when you hear it, you might get what I mean.

    I’m certain this is a callback to an older scene in the series. Either Koyomi or Ougi meeting with Tsukihi. You can also say Akira if you’d like.

    Marina Inoue sounded completey different here, obviously because this isn’t the same Sodachi we knew. She’s a lot more compassionate and sister-like to Nadeko. I didn’t even recognize her until Nadeko said so herself. I’m actually quite glad Sodachi is doing better here and didn’t turn out to be a one-off character in the series (as she kind of came out of nowhere previously).

    There really is something about girls cutting their hair short when they want to change something about themselves. It’s a really interesting phenomenon that boys don’t really have an equivalent to. More interestingly I guess, this scene parallels with Hitagi and Koyomi during Mayoi Snail.

    By far the shots that reminded me that Monogatari is “peak cinema”, as they say. Live action shots, somewhat reminscent of early 2000s handhelds composited with a running topless Nadeko.
