The Anime Soc chat thread XXI: High school AU version

I can't do either of those. As the keys are not in line of the letters when ever I press D or S for back I always constantly catch A or D. the same goes for going right to. It comes from my old use of the D pad on the ps1 and handheld games. I can sort of do WASZ or ESDX as it's closer to the correct layout but I still struggle.

Well seeing as a controller was designed for gaming and the keyboard/mouse wasn't I am willing to try it . Also just discovered it's very easy to connect a xbox controller to a computer. You literally just plug it in

How about the arrow keys on the far right of the keyboard? It would work and you could use the likes of Ctrl, Shift and other nearby keys for other binds.

Yeah, I've used an Xbox 360 controller myself, only to play ROMs.

now that I've started using my gaming mouse (Deathadder), which has buttons on its side

Well that would be fine but as I'm on my laptop to still be able to look straight at the screen I would have to become left handed which I don't think I can . Plus the down arrow is in between the left and right which is wrong it should be below damn it

As I'm not a pc gamer I have never used it on my computer. But it seems to work fine. Just plugged it in now and nothing seemed wrong at least. Didn't even take much effort seeing as right next to me is my tv with many consoles plugged into it.

Aha, I know the type of keyboard you mean in regard to the down arrow. Yeah, definitely not ideal.



Yeah, I suppose that's the advantage of using a Microsoft controller with Windows.

Well I tried having a quick go on practise before leaving for my gig using the mouse and keyboard. I think if I tune the sensitivity right (which is going to take a while) I can tolerate the mouse. But the keys on the other hand ....well put it this way no matter what configuration they were in my fingers were constantly slipping off them resulting in me just walking into walls . It also made my hand ache

So much technical talk.. Im lost

Curiously, are you from Hong Kong (or have family there). Love the city.

I'm an international student currently studying in the UK but I'm from HK

Awesome, I also chose to study internationally in the UK, except I'm from Japan. I've since emigrated again due to my husband's work and live in the US, specifically NY. Did you go to an international school in HK as well?

Incidentally, a few of my closest friends, of whom are both married and that I introduced, live in Fortress Hill.

Ooh. I went to an international school for high school. Was at a local school during kindergarten and primary tho.

Whats your favourite anime/manga? I only started reading & watching them 2 years ago

Do you not have a separate keyboard you could use? Presumably not.

Not really and unless I got one designed specially for gaming I think I will struggle. This shouldn't be surprising seeing as keyboards weren't designed for games thus making them one of the most difficult game interfaces I have had to use

Aha, the similarity is uncanny. I also went to a normal Japanese kindergarten and middle school in Kyoto, but moved to Tokyo to study at an international high school.



I don't have a favourite. The closest I can offer is to view my list by highest rating for both:

Likewise, what's your favourite?

Oh wow

I have watched nowhere close to as much anime / manga as you

Deathnote or Gundam have to be one of my favourite animes, and Reborn is currently my favourite manga, though a few others are pretty good as well.

Have you ever read Noblesse? (Korean manga)

Well, having grown up with the stuff all around me definitely helped. That and I'm something of an obsessive.

Death Note is an excellent anime and manga series, certainly a favourite among many. And Gundam? Nice, which one have you watched and are you currently following Age or Unicorn?

I have read Noblesse, one of the few dozen or so manhwa I have. It's pretty good.
