Yea. Color rando for kongs changes the color of their associated textures. This modifies the texture calls to use different textures instead. In this case, we switch certain texture calls out for the disco chunky textures

Thanks @ditzyflama.com for the great remixes inspiring this

A now legitimate feature of DK64R 5.0 (Outside the music)

Also took me 15+ years to realize that Gill is voiced by Willem Dafoe.

Not sure how it took me that long

Watching Finding Nemo after watching some House clips is an interesting experience that makes you realize that Gill is very much a mirror of Dr. House

There's a Discord account hijacking campaign going on today, be extra vigilant about links being sent to you via DMs.

Let's also not shame anyone who had the misfortune of being hit. They're already dealing with a lot as it is and no one is immune to an attack like this.

I wish McLaren would stop verbally reminding Oscar of the team racing rules any time there is a hint of a battle between Oscar and Norris.

The first playthrough where you sit and take it in is a key part of making a game important to you. Let yourself have that moment.

Seeing people already speedrunning Bananza is kinda sad. I get that it's a way of enjoying the game, but in doing so when its been out for less than 1 week you're depriving yourself of the first playthrough to get a WR that no-one will care about in about 2w when its already long obsolete.

Turns out that an echo-ey room makes a mechanical keyboard sound like I'm Mr. Incredible about to find out that Gazerbeam was terminated

What would be your recommendation?

I just call 'em "posts"

Okay, coinflip landed on heads. Looks great.

Will I tell you what it is? Not right now. You'll just have to wait until 5.0 for that

I have an idea inspired by my latest earworm for DK64R.

It's either gonna be epic or fail horribly. Practically a coinflip

The joke just writes itself

Hey, BBC, this isn't a good thing. Locking the news behind a paywall is a VERY bad idea.

That price is ludicrous as well. You can literally buy a subscription to a password manager that comes bundled with a decent VPN for 10 people cheaper than the suggested price.

Late to the party, but

Good question. I tried some memes with the practice ROM free cam and couldn't get anything beneficial. Wouldn't be terribly surprised though if there were a way

The invisible film in Japes is because their position in the world places them in a different chunk (the shellhive area). Therefore, for performance reasons, the game disables rendering them.

If you move them 25 units in the negative X direction, they no longer make this misconception:

Slight correction: There is a copy of a loading zone to T&S behind the portal near Cranky in Aztec. If you enter that copy with a boulder, that produces Shrunky Kong. No other T&S portal has this phenomenon so you cant get Shrunky there with the method stated

Before the Lando/Oscar crash: "Please no-one crash i stg"

Whoops, I jinxed it.

dk64randomizer.com is why.

Already did :) youtu.be/Lg6B6AXT3jA?...

Actually given it proper collision that's part of the door object

After 25 years, the door to Factory Lobby finally has collision

Oh like using the speed to clip through walls? If the generation of this speed becomes a little less contextually niche, then maybe one or two
