It's such a wonderful game, isn't it? I got my first copy back on the Dreamcast and PS2 and played the hell out of it. I wrote my first USB drivers for the Trancevibrator around 2005, also. When Infinite came out I still played it quite a bit (outside of the context of making that video heh), and it was like riding a bicycle. A couple of minutes of getting used to it again and I was back to near 100% on everything. :…

seriously, I have it sitting on my PS4 at like 95-100% in everything after one playthrough when I first got it, except Area 5 because I really cannot be bothered to run it like 5x in a row to remember all its little tricks. I'll probably buy it again when I replace this PS4 and there's a re-remake. If you haven't played Polybius or Sayonara Wild Hearts, I can highly recommend them - they are both games that stroke th…

Ooooh hadn't heard of Polybius, been meaning to pick up Wild Hearts...

Still wish any other Mizuguchi game did it for me as much as Rez. Never got to try Child of Eden, Every Extend was good, Lumines and Tetris Effect were ok but just not quite the same. I think Rez had that combination of perfect timing and place.

> Can support Bluetooth, USB, HID, Serial, and Audio controlled toys. What is an example of an audio controlled toy?! Does that mean voice commands, or does that mean some sort of high-frequency (outside human-audible range) binary channel? I looked but did not see.

So, audio stuff is still a bit of pipe dream, but I want to at least try at some point.

Easiest would be something like what OhMiBod puts out, which is basically just a vibrator with an RC band pass filter as speed control. We could generate audio to work within the sensed reaction range there.

Electrostimulation toys also use waveform input, since it's translating signal-to-signal basically, but that's a whole other huge discussion.

Finally, if you consider HD Rumble (think what's in a Switch Joycon or VR controller), those also take audio buffers since they can deal with far higher update rates than eccentric motors.

Never,ever,even in a million years would I have thought that such a thing exists. Judging by the number of supported models,seems to be pretty popular too.

It's more us digging around places like Aliexpress to find what's out there. We're just dedicated. :D

Would it be terribly slutty for me to suggest a Peer2Peer protocol? Not everyone's into Master/Slave connections...

We're working on WebRTC now. There's still the issue of STUN server handshaking there but it's Peer-to-Peer after that.

This is actually an amazing project. I see they have an extensive list of devices already supported. People freely discuss on HN all the time about the security of private messaging between different people online and how corporations track and use this data against us as consumers, but it seems people are incapable of recognizing and discussing this maturely when in fact the same issues are present with teledildonic…

As cliche as it sounds, maybe sex will be what brings privacy to the internet.

There's been some really neat work around teledildonics and anonymity. I highly recommend Sarah Jamie Lewis's Oniondildonics work: https://mascherari.press/oniondildonics/

EGYPT! Extremely long time no see! (We've met before at FC and other south bay stuff but it was well over a decade ago, have some common links from Puzzlebox, etc) Astolpho has been doing most of my art (like the squid buttplug on the buttplug.io page, and the Buttplug sommlier foxes on my patreon - http://patreon.com/qdot ), but I'll try to contact you once I'm looking for more art, which I'm hoping will be soon, on…

holy fuck I have not thought of Astolpho in like a decade and of course this turns out to be by someone I have run into before in the Yiff Mines :)

Not to perpetuate the fox stereotype, but of all the things a fox would show up on the front page of HN for... :3
