They're bulldozing it all, but no one really knows when. So I've gotta go back with an old video camera soon. Also got a pretty great fish donburi for real cheap there.

They killed the StreetPass Salesbunny for pulling this type of stuff

An EU and a US region 3DS side by side.
On the EU version the Salesbunny says "Fair enough!" When you don't buy a game from them, while on the US version they look sad and say "Oh, I see..."

I don't really know if I can explain why, but programming is daytime work, and 3d modeling/animation is nighttime work, best done in a dark room at 2am.

Ah I never got super deep, so there wasn't too much to convert. Taking a step back and figuring out what screens I'd want to mock-up before I get deep into it again. Been speaking to a few devs recently though and it's sounding exciting!

Realised that I can print my own Game Boy cart shells and oh man it's never been more tempting to pick that GB Studio project back up than it has been the last week or so.

This is the phone that had the battery swell up, and Google wanted me to pay more than the phone cost originally for repair before I just said "nah send me it back" and they caved. Absolute dogshit day after day.

Wow, a Daggerfall MMO, in a "hand-rolled renderer" and "translated line by line" from Daggerfall Unity, and made in only a few weeks you say? Surely there's nothing important the solo dev would have left out of the webpage they're soliciting donations on!

What it is

Reimplemented 1:1

Translated line by line From Daggerfall Unity's C#. Bugs included, on purpose.

Rebuilt

A hand-rolled WebGL2 renderer with no engine underneath, and a procedural sky.

In progress

Not Finished. You cannot import classic or Daggerfall Unity saves yet, and there is no mod support. The ledger tracks the rest.

Daggerfall Unity

Interkarma and contributors, MIT licence.
Daggerfall Enhanced is a separate project translated from its C#. Without it there would be nothing to build on.

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall Bethesda Softworks, 1996. A Fan project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Bethesda or ZeniMax.

Daggerfall Workshop and UESP

The format documentation the readers were checked against.

Lattymoy

Built Daggerfall Enhanced. Source, docs and the ledger are on GitHub.

Set in Jacquard 12 and Pixelify Sans From Google Fonts.

Every now and then a switch will flip in my brain and I'll become singularly focused on something I've never really thought about before. Anyway check out the DDR earrings I made.

Man I remember when Diablo 3 came out, I knew people taking days off work because they used to play 2 with their friends as a kid and we're getting everyone together for it. It felt like they were talking about a 25 year gap between them at the time.

emulation is preservation 🎮🌱 (1/7) (cw: grappling with trauma, cPTSD, and dysmorphia) #personal #vent #oolongnoonart #emulation #retroconsoles

i've been thinking about old videogames lately

standalone, solid pieces of fun
no day one patch, a completed work

you could come back to them like an old book

there were also games i never got to for whatever reason

ones just out of my reach
or that i've never heard of

i wound up learning about emulators
and got myself a handheld retro console to play roms with

i've been really enjoying this

(sketches of a retroid pocket 5/G2 and an anbernic 406H, third-party handhelds that can run emulators)
