A fabricated statement from Nintendo of America's Twitter account addressing a fictitious scenario in which the Earth's oxygen supply is presumed to be depleting at a rapid pace, leaving humanity with mere days to live. "This is Miyamoto. On behalf of everyone who is employed at Nintendo Co. LTD and its subsidiaries, we deeply mourn the countless human lives which will be lost due to the depletion of the global oxygen supply. To anyone who has ever played one of our games, we are eternally grateful to have created long-lasting fun and memories for you. To ease the suffering of families and children across the world, the Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 system will be available as a free download on Nintendo eShop for the foreseeable future. We hope this small gesture of kindness will ease the pain as humanity prepares for a worst-case scenario." The statement is distastefully plastered with logos for Nintendo and Nintendo Switch 2, as well as with a render of Mario from Mario Kart World.

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. John Default Profile Picture: "No one read this statement and thought it was distasteful? Why did Miyamoto think this would help anyone?" NintenDeen: "Simple: Nintendo is so depraved that they'd exploit a global crisis to boost the player count of the failed Mario Kart World and force consumers back into the Switch 2 ecosystem to boost sales and player numbers."

A fabricated Twitter thread responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. PlayStation Nation: "What the fuck are you doing falsely advertising sales during these trying times? I went to the website and Mario Kart World is still selling for $80 USD." Kremling Kevin: "If you actually read the statement, it clearly says the discount is available on Nintendo eShop. Meaning the application on the Switch 2 itself, not the web browser version." PlayStation Nation: "Point still stands."

A fabricated Tweet responding to the fabricated Nintendo statement. Isaboner: "Nothing for Switch 1 owners?"

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

i may be stupid.
i’ve only just now realized that bad bunny is like, a real person. he’s a rapper with a career and stuff.

when i heard there was a “controversial bad bunny show during the super bowl”, i just imagined a bunny mascot putting on a performance in spanish. and i never questioned that.

turns out remote player hitboxes are larger than the client player's hitbox for whatever reason, and that's the heart of the issue here

how hard could it be to synchronize a moving platform across two clients?
oh. uh. that's not supposed to happen.

m&ms adventure on the wii is the king of exposition

Namco Museum Vol. 5 Metro Cross room running in an emulator

Namco Museum Vol. 5 Metro Cross room ported to VRChat/Unity

currently, i have a pretty accurate recreation of the scene using a directional light and exponential fog. this will suffice, (and may even be preferable if you desire a smoother look,) but i'd *really* like to mimic the per-quad fog effect (most noticeable on the green Slip Zones and the windows)

!!!requesting help from anyone who can make Unity shaders!!!

i need help replicating a PlayStation effect where flat-shaded quads are darkened as the viewpoint moves further away from them, and their original colors return as it moves closer. please refer to this video demonstration:

Happy Electric Feel Friday,

only if a future game has Luigi say “this reminds me of the time we Met Up in Bellabel Park”

that said, here’s my toolset. hope it helps:
jPSXdec (extracts game files)
psxprev (extracts models from those files)
Avocado emulator (Freecam & 3D screenshots)
no$PSX (my preferred method of viewing VRAM & ripping textures)
Duckstation (high-quality emulator with texture dumping capability)

and get them aligned in Unity with a wireframe shader as a point of reference. then i’d take the character models i’ve successfully extracted and animate them by hand, matching each keyframe as closely as possible. it’s very tedious and time-consuming.

so i’m probably not the teacher you want >w<

i could, but i’m admittedly not an expert at reverse engineering. my methodology is more about being stubborn and getting results. for instance, i couldn’t figure out how to extract animation data. so instead, i go frame-by-frame looking for keyframes, list when they occur, then take 3D screenshots-

both this and the leaning lamppost are actually present in Toontown Online! i considered fixing the lamp when working on Baritone Boulevard, but decided i’d like it to be authentic to the original.
the slight clipping in the tunnels was always out of view though, so i should probly give them a shave

none taken! i’m glad you’re enjoying toontown, and i appreciate that you’ve brought these issues to my attention.
they should be patched up now

oops

still a long ways to go before the finish line, but the lobby area for Namco Museum Vol. 5 is like 90% complete and i wanted to share a lil preview!

It’s #fursuitfriday let’s pounce on this weekend.

it takes 3 hours to sufficiently gaslight a teen so hard they have a violent depressive episode that leads to them reluctantly accepting their death as a catalyst to revive a teen the world deems more important
