Nice shadowing on the characters.

Just do all the โ€œmainlineโ€ Mario games. That way you get to decide what counts as mainline. Itโ€™ll be fun!

Sad to see you go, as a quiet enjoyer of your posts. Take care, enjoy your holiday.

i recently finished v2.0 of my browser-based World of Warcraft level viewer! so here's a thread on what it is, how it works, and a visual history of its development

check it out at noclip.website by searching "World of Warcraft", finding a zone you wanna explore, and fly around w/ WASD + mouse

Interestingly, DX9 on the X360 was another nice example of this. You could (mostly) just write straight DX9 code. But there was a bunch of lower level functionality layered underneath, that could selectively be used.

I think in theory thatโ€™s the ideal solution. But itโ€™s hard to fight the perception that D11on12 (or whatever) is a โ€œsecond class citizenโ€. Metal is nice because essentially both the high level and low level api coexist together.

Could also add another define to mangle the names, and allow the header to be included multiple times. Makes the library code ugly, but usability is decent.

Makes me nostalgic for the days when โ€œfake gamer who cheats at gamesโ€ would have been a top 5 most bad things about him.

I agree 100%, and do exactly the same thing. Not a great strategy for actually finishing anything though.

More Chrono Trigger HD-2D Pixel Remaster redraw. Maybe I'll do CC characters next.

Those look great, if I just saw them in isolation I might believe they were the original sprites. But nice improvements when viewed side-by-side.

The worst is the brief moment of hope, when the music stops and you think itโ€™s finally over.
