Hey that's really good. Thank you everyone for an incredible first 24hrs. Even using the old view system, the video has 60k "Engaged Views," meaning this is the strongest Day 1 a SimplySnaps video has ever had by twofold. I'm truly grateful, IDK what else to say but "Neat."

Wow! Even with the inflated views since my last upload, this Demo video is a *real* best of 10! (Engaged views are just the old way of counting views from before August)

i can vouch for the astrocore team, they're friends of dusklight devs and have similarly high standards. they'll do a good job with the galaxy port

At this point, though, if someone contends they’ve never even heard of Linkle Mods, it may say more about the gamer than the mod. Or, for that matter, what they want to project to the world.

I finally finished a full, complete 100% run with the new route and beat my 7 year old be by 2 whole seconds. This run still has a bunch of mistakes but the new route saves so much time. More improvements soon.

someone's probably already mentioned this, but how could AI possibly take over the world within the next few years if we're actively building trillions of dollars of infrastructure just to keep it running? If they enslaved or killed us, they'd run out of power within days. Am I missing something?

I realized @thecongressman.bsky.social and I never shared this one here, but here are the finished pages from an old Sonic and Knuckles collab. Life and obligations kept us from going as far as we planned, but I'm immensely honored to work with him and proud of our work #SonicTheHedgehog ⬇️

Writer: Lorenzo Antonio Hall
Artist: TheCongressman

Page One: (5 panels)

Panel 1- The panel shows an overhead landscape image of Azure Lake on Angel Island. There is a tree casting shade. Knuckles may be spotted there with a few animals.

(A) Caption
Azure Lake, Angel Island.

Panel 2- This panel is closer in, showing Knuckles laying down under the tree, his eyes closed, a faint smile on his face. Among the animals one thought was to include a giant flicky and maybe one of the 3D blast versions for variety.

Panel 3- There’s the sound of an engine humming up above towards the sky. Knuckles opens his eye, moderately concerned

(B) SFX
VRRRRRRR!

Panel 4- The panel shows Sonic in the Tornado, flying towards Angel Island, potentially waving down at Knuckles.

Panel 5- Knuckles, now standing, is looking up, concerned. He’s still a little wary since Sonic’s presence usually means trouble one way or another.

(C) Knuckles
What’s he doing here?

Page Two: (6 panels)

Panel 1- The Tornado has touched down and Sonic is seen jumping from the cockpit, a smirk on his face. He’s glad to be able to move while Knuckles is standing there, his arms folded. The animals are excited to see Sonic.

(A) Sonic
Phew, there you are! I was looking all over the island for ya.

(B) Knuckles
Well, you found me. What do you want, Sonic?

Panel 2- Sonic is now closer to Knuckles, a smug look on his face. He can’t help but tease Knuckles a little, who still looks a bit bemused.

(C) Sonic
Good to see you too, Knucklehead. How long’s it been?

(D) Knuckles
(still stiff) Not long enough. Where’s Tails?

(E) Sonic
At his workshop working on one of his machines. The little guy’s busy, so I figured I’d head out on my own for awhile. He’s partly why I’m here, though.

Panel 3- Sonic is more in focus, maybe a hand out and gesturing as he recounts the story. Alternatively, you could have him petting one of the animals to get across his dynamic with them.

(F) Sonic
He wanted to take some time to study the Chaos Emeralds. We have one on hand, but he said he needs another to see if they have different properties. I figured I should check here to see if one wound up on Angel Island since they scatter all over.

Panel 4- The panel shows Sonic looking at Knuckles, who now has a hand on his hip and another on his chin.

(G) Knuckles
The Chaos Emeralds, huh?

(H) Sonic
Right. I know it’s a long shot, but been any around?

Panel 5- The panel’s view is over Knuckles’ shoulder, one of his hands extended while Sonic looks surprised towards his hand

(I) Knuckles
As a matter of fact…

Panel 6- The yellow Chaos Emerald is in Knuckles’ palm as the focus

(J) SFX
TA-DA-DADADA-DAH! (Reference to the Get Chaos Emerald jingle)

(K) Knuckles
I have.

Page Three: (6 panels)

Panel 1- Sonic is looking at the emerald, a smile on his face, a faint glow is coming off it

(A) Sonic
Wow, that was easier than I expected. When did you find it?

(B) Knuckles
I found it when I was patrolling Sandopolis. I was surprised, but I figured I might as well keep it on hand.

Panel 2- Sonic nods, his eyes closed as he thinks, a hand is on his elbow and the other hand is palm up while he muses.

(C) Sonic
Guess I’m lucky you decided to pay attention. I know you found it and all, but maybe I could-

Panel 3- The panel is roughly a match, but now Sonic’s eyes are open in surprise and facing towards his hand, where Knuckles has lightly tossed the Chaos Emerald.

(D) Knuckles
Here. Take it.

(E) Sonic
Huh?

Panel 4- Knuckles has turned his back from Sonic and is walking away from the hedgehog, a hand up as if to dismiss him. Sonic is holding the emerald in both hands.

(F) Knuckles
You got what you came for. My job guarding the Master Emerald will be easier if I don’t have to worry about the other emeralds attracting attention.

Panel 5- Knuckles is alone, walking to the right from the Panel’s point of view, his eyes closed. (This panel is a joke set up, Sonic’s speed blur should be seen going from behind Knuckles and past him and lead into next panel)

(G) Sonic (Off-panel, from behind Knuckles)
Really? You sure?

(H) Knuckles
I don’t mind, besides, I better get back to work. Have a safe flight back, give Tails my best.

Panel 6- Near match panel, but now Sonic has zipped in front of Knuckles, the speed trail stopping behind Sonic. Knuckles is stopped, surprised Sonic’s in front of him now. Sonic has an impish grin.

(G) Sonic
Thanks, pal, but it doesn’t feel right just grabbing this and leaving. Besides, I just got here and I need to stretch my legs a bit. You sure I can’t do something to help you out as thanks?

Page Four: (4 panels)

Panel 1- Knuckles, visibly sighing in exasperation, is looking at Sonic. Sonic is balancing the emerald on his index finger, lightly sassing Knuckles

(A) Knuckles
Fine, if you REALLY want, then you can help me with resetting some of the traps on the island. Just promise not to get in my way.

(B) Sonic
Me? Get in your way? Wouldn’t dream of it! After all, you do that better than anyone else! Just let me know when you need me to do something and I’ll get on it.

Panel 2- Knuckles and Sonic are shown walking away from the area, but there’s a sensor visor over the panel and it’s green colored. Someone with high tech binoculars is looking at them

(C) Knuckles
Alright, this way. We’ll take a shortcut to speed this up.

Panel 3- The panel shows Fang the Hunter across the lake, hidden amongst greenery, holding the binoculars.

Panel 4- The binoculars are down, and Fang’s shown smiling wide.

(D) Fang
Heh. Looks like this gig got more interesting.

Growing up in a conservative area I'd read about the early 1900's and listen to Black writers saying "A white man can kill a Black man for any reason and get away with it." I was disturbed, but inspired by the progress we'd made. That progress is a lie, it's still happening, and we have to stop it.

Convinced this whole "Women's Sports" debate was a long-con by right-wingers who want to exhaust the left on the subject of women's sports entirely so they can go back to pretending they don't exist. We have to get even more annoying about feminism to fix this, probably.

Dusklight was made by talented humans volunteering their time. If you count the decompilation, it took nearly six years to create. A few members of the team use automation for menial tasks, but anyone claiming Dusklight was "written by AI" is either lying, or has been lied to. Nuance matters here.

seeing some posts around about Dusklight being an ai port, i'd appreciate it if people stopped spreading misinfo or taking various discord messages out of context. Dusklight does not rely on ai, and is stated as such in the readme. any third-party fork/mod that uses ai is unrelated to us

In case I don't say it enough: Free Palestine When one side has guns and the other side has teddy bears, to be neutral is to endorse the massacre of children. I understand you don't want to talk about it, I understand there's a very real opportunity cost for speaking truth to power.

If tech companies were at all concerned with improving our experiences on their dumb fucking apps, a no-brainer feature I've wanted for years is the ability to tell the algorithm "hey, I AM interested in that show, but I have not seen this season and you are spoiling it with these thumbnails!"

"No, you don't understand! I had a good idea one time, so I am entitled to trillions of dollars and all the Earth's resources" is what someone who had an okay idea one time thinks. I personally think the Earth's resources belong to us all, and nobody is entitled to steal it because they made an app.

I think most media sucks these days because budgets and scope have ballooned to the point where the only way to make art of expected quality by the consumer is to convince a boardroom full of soulless suits that your art will "turn a profit" instead of being *good.*

SimplySnaps @simplysnaps.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

My only objective issue with the style is all the "overdesigning" Someone was really proud of all the detail without thinking about the greater impact on the final image. It becomes one big mess of texture and noise. Feels like a lack of cohesion and leadership. Probably multiple external art teams

OOT looks fine. Nothing mind-blowing, but fun enough. The voice acting is embarrassingly bad. Like, I cannot imagine signing off on that. I seem to be in the minority here, most English speakers seem content with Funimation quality voice acting. I can switch to JP. Not the end of the world.

SimplySnaps @simplysnaps.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

It’s funny because I have never played a single GTA game, nor watched any content around them, so to me this is just like hearsay and hype. I do believe you guys, I’m sure it’ll be a big hit. But I have no frame of reference. I do not understand why this is the predestined “best game of the century”

SimplySnaps @simplysnaps.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Not at all a fan of how popular dunk culture is. People who agree with each other on 90% of issues shouldn’t go for each other’s throats at the first sign of nuance or disagreement. Saw someone reply to a really reasonable take with “what’s fucking wrong with you?” That’s just a lot, am I crazy?

I see a lot of people referring to PC ports as "Decomps." Being a PC port does not make something "A Decomp," and Decomps are not PC ports. Also Recomps are not Decomps. YouTubers and Kotaku have done irreparable damage to these terms. A decomp is just code. You make a port with the game's code.

Finally saved up some big-girl money and got an RGB modded NES and N64. This is a digital output, immune to the noise of analog video conversion. It feeds into my Retrotink Upscaler and outputs at 1080p. I have never seen retro consoles look this good. Classic streams coming soon.
