Now.
Now, we have reached the absolute.
There is nothing left for us here.
Let's erase this pointless world, and move on to the next.

A yellow "caution wet floor" standee. The bottom is flared so it looks like a banana peel.

Panel 1: A sideline reporter asks the Super Bowl MVP "I'm here with tonight's MVP. You just won the super bowl...what do you want to say to the world"
Panel 2: " Alexa Buy Quest 64"
Panel 3: Confused onlookers
Panel 4: A newspaper that says "Super Bowl Champs" and then much further down says "25 year old video game sells millions"

Hi hi, I’m alive 😅 I’ve been grinding on the demo. I’m targeting this summer/fall.
Here’s a quick look at something I added recently: a hotbar for quick swaps between party members, moves, and items.
I’ll be sharing more soon :)

It's nice because all these channel timers divide evenly by the GB CPU timer speed. 64 Hz, 256 Hz, ... they're all factors of 2.

I do have to batch these calls though because Godot lags like heck if it tries to call these functions 4 million times per second. 😅

Day 11 of Making a Game Boy music tool for my game's audio.

Reworked all timers to scale off a 2^22 Hz timer (the GB CPU speed) instead of 44.1k Hz output.

This fixes some issues with resampling and also eliminates all these ugly floating-point timers. 😝

I'm cleaning up my drives and I was looking at file sizes, this was kind of amusing:

1 install of UE4: 41.2 GB
6 versions of Unity: 48.7 GB
22 versions of Godot: 2.4 GB (5 GB with export templates)

Sisko is great. He cares deeply for his crew.

And very human. You can really feel his inner conflict when having to make important decisions that affect so many lives.

He's also quite terrifying when angry. But always for good reason.

Actually, wait, I forgot.

We put Four Swords Adventures into the Wii.
Connected one GBA via for one controller.
Then connected a GameCube via its GBA slot as the second controller. And stacked a mini-DVD player on it to use for its screen (since the Wii had the TV).

God what a beautiful mess. 🤣

My failure to get a 4-person Crystal Chronicles game going is one of my biggest gaming regrets.

We did get a 2-person Four Swords Adventures game working tho. And 2-person Four Swords using the GBA slot. Which, hilariously, worked. 😁

Agreed. I really do think character-driven stories make for the best stories, which is something this show excelled at.

The early seasons too, you can see how lots of characters are very immature/flawed in various ways. And how they slowly overcome those flaws.

Ahahaha I love the 'cube so much too.

It also plays every Game Boy/Advance game ever which is another nice plus.

Also, its intro (seasons 1-3 especially) is beautiful.

With the exception of the SNES, this roughly translates to "Which ones I had growing up." 😅

But also I think (besides the GameCube), these consoles really were the golden age of 2D graphics - before developers started feeling pressure to make everything 3D...
