Giving fan service in the form of allowing mute childhood characters to communicate their feelings is the best kind of fan service I could ask for. I found the film funny, but in some weird way, remarkably heartwarming.

Plenty of other franchises they could force on people that don't have contentious people involved, or better yet, not push optional content I would have downloaded if I wanted it. Where's the forced Discworld theme?

Oh cool, optional content forced on my phone that I actively don't fucking want. I'd rather keep security vulnerabilities than give a bullshit metric that arbitrarily inflates a transphobe's reach. I swear there's some agenda that keeps pushing HP on everyone, don't see that shit for anything else.

🙏 It *is* my life, I am more than happy to have run it all this time.

Definitely don't have to prove anything, it's your project, do as you wish - and there's no drama to it, I'm just pointing out my perception. Running the tSR network has been a life effort, appreciate that you've enjoyed it - has been a honour. My scrutiny is from care, not from trying to squash.

As I said, never doubted the extraction effort - only the sudden switch from utilising community projects to having your own fully fledged archive site with complex three.js implementation. I'm happy to be proven wrong though - I'd love to be wrong in fact.

I encourage people every day to preserve games. I also encourage people to be upfront about their work involving AI - that's your call if you use it, but I'll point out my perception of it. I didn't doubt your reverse engineering effort, only the way you're displaying it.

Dazz - Spriters Resource & DYKG @dazz.spriters-resource.com · 25/09/2026

I'm not saying that the extraction effort is AI - I'm saying that to have built a complex website that implements multiple different views, automated tagging, with extremely verbose explanations of what's occurring, and to have produced it in only a few hours is unrealistic.

Dazz - Spriters Resource & DYKG @dazz.spriters-resource.com · 25/09/2026

I have no issue with people wanting to preserve games, but to produce this as a response to the fact that we have responsibly verified user submissions for over 20 years is a pretty weird move... Particularly as it'd probably have taken minutes to vibecode a bulk upload tool for our site instead.

Dazz - Spriters Resource & DYKG @dazz.spriters-resource.com · 25/09/2026

Having now seen the messages in the noclip Discord, it's basically a guarantee this is almost entirely / is entirely vibe coded. 7 hours from not having a complete 3D tooling system to having this is so unrealistic. It's a shame because I love projects like this.

It sucks that people are so well versed to see AI art, but it seems nobody knows the telltale signs of AI web design... But it screams at me. I see countless people making the exact same design web tool to reverse engineer game data every week, and anti-AI folks don't seem to notice.

Dazz - Spriters Resource & DYKG @dazz.spriters-resource.com · 25/09/2026

We manually approve assets from thousands of members so have to ensure we don't get flooded with 100s GBs overnight. This also looks massively AI coded sadly.

A pixel-art scene from Street Fighter 3 Third Strike with Lottie the calico cat fighting the character Ruy. She's already cleared the first round with a no-hit perfect. Good job.

Starting the steps for a new archive today, excited at seeing it take shape. Will be revealing more once it's close to release!

We're a few hours into Orbitals and I'm wondering when it gets as good as people say... So far it has been rather predictable, and hasn't really done anything new or interesting. Looks great, though feels a lil inauthentic in aesthetic, padded out and has no new ideas...

Sometimes having deadlines can help some people, not so much for others. One difficult way to find out which you are is by making that deadline extremely public lol

Some of you may remember I was working on a new website concept a couple years ago but faced some trouble with the immense volume of storage it would take. I may have come across a reliable solution that would make this much more feasible - will be working on it in my spare time. It's looking good.

Dazz - Spriters Resource & DYKG @dazz.spriters-resource.com · 14/09/2026

I need to find a solution because the weight of thousands of submissions each week is becoming too much to handle on top of trying to work on DidYouKnowGaming, and further anything of my own projects. I hoped ko-fi would help ease the financial strain, but I've received very little support there.

Lately, running Spriters Resource (plus subsites) has become a full time operation. We're getting so many submissions, and because of a manually processed queue, I seem to have to spend 40-50 hours a week dealing with them. It's becoming an issue, as I try to do more that actually feeds me.

Fashion label "Peace and After" is raffling the chance to buy one of 8 one-of-a-kind Live A Live art canvases to celebrate the game's 32nd anniversary. They are hand-painted (by who is unclear) and signed by Director @Takashi_Tokita. Price is ¥88,000. peaceandafter.jp/?ti...

"and other products them be used easily" is a vibe

Agreed, it is executed so well and as a first, set the foundation for techniques being used in the series still. We ❤️ Katamari is in my top 5 of all time, co-op made the whole experience even more special. I think it sets such a solid tone for team work and synchronous thinking between friends.

Dazz - Spriters Resource & DYKG @dazz.spriters-resource.com · 03/09/2026

The game doesn't calculate the collision on the mesh, it works out the centre point of the mass - so the object is essentially ignored and the physics are simulated based on the misshaped ball, which is why those pokey bits will still go through physical objects so you aren't completely stuck.

040

Dazz - Spriters Resource & DYKG @dazz.spriters-resource.com · 03/09/2026

Objects don't attach to objects; only the ball. The shape plays into movement around the environment, but you can't stack multiple tall objects against each other to make one huge spike, for example.

220

Dazz - Spriters Resource & DYKG @dazz.spriters-resource.com · 03/09/2026

Some objects disappear into the mess, but ultimately it doesn't have to calculate each object's collision after it attaches; it's just the ball. As it grows it becomes a child of the Katamari, and just follows that. It is a very clever game though, there's some VERY cool techniques used.

Saw an Instagram reel about someone having ripped all the models from Katamari Damacy, but they didn't extract the rigging; so I ripped everything and categorised it by the in-game collections. models.spriters-resource.com/playstation_...

I've watched every season - UK, US and Australian, and I just know that you're going to have done well. Rooted for Brian O'Halloran before, you're now the next "I want this guy to win" character.
