Retroquad's Patreon was launched: patreon.com/mankrip It will feature content that is way more in-depth than my Twitter and YouTube accounts. All future Retroquad releases will be done through it. If the minimum goal isn't reached, Retroquad will have to be cancelled.

@ZoidCTF @DickWhitehouse can fix that through BigInstinct scripts, btw.

@ZoidCTF Yeah, I got used to blocking and then immediately counter-attacking my friends. Good times.

The arcade version of Killer Instinct. Graphically amazing at the time. However as players got better at the game the lack of block stun in the design meant higher level play got pretty boring as there were no safe blocked combos.

@Stealth40k There's only one perfect candidate.

@xgramiliki Hmm, eu não sabia que é remake. Via de regra evito comprar FPSs em consoles.

@mankrip O remake não chega aos pés do original.

As pessoas que ficam dizendo que eu odeio cel shaded não tem a mínima noção do quanto eu verdadeiramente amo esse jogo. XIII, 2003 (XBOX/GameCube/PC/PS2)

Release #2. Is THIS disclosure yet?

@sega_city Both.

Did you play the incredibly unique SEGA puzzler 'Crush' on the PSP, or give it a go in it's odd 3DS re-release?

@maniaUFO They're doing a really poor job at guidance, nearly everyone on Earth is mad or dumb.

Former CIA Officer John Ramirez says that humans are all aliens and part of the Human Hybrid program. Says ETs are trying to guide us to be better stewards of the Earth🧐🤔

The material rendering in Metroid Prime 4 Beyond is stunning. I never saw ice and snow so realistic in a game before, and it's a shame that this game ended up being so overlooked. This game will definitely age like a fine wine. People will regret not buying it while it's cheap.

In 2012, at age 16, I dreamt of porting the Cube 2 engine to the #Dreamcast. My first real attempt came in winter 2024/2025. After a long hiatus, today, finally, I got in‑game with working textures.

It's a difficult situation. I feel sorry for devs seeing their tools being used in ways that they don't like, and it's inevitable that it will happen.

"What would @KenneyNL say?"

@SockmantheAlog @DougTenNapel You mean Clay Fighter 64.

@DougTenNapel It was damn fine slop Doug, thanks for giving me my favorite character to play in Clay Fighter 2

EWJ was slop when I made him. You probably spent more thought, skill and care in writing prompts to make this Ai image than I did scribbling out the original.

Difficulty clarifies design, so if you make the game easy enough players can forever think the issues are that of intensity, rather than structure, because the real core problems havent been sharpened and forced on to them through challenge

@Vocetubeia Opa, te adicionei.

A grama é feita de duas camadas de texturas, ambas com resolução 32x32, mas em diferentes densidades de texel. E claro que tem vertex colors por cima. Assim, a famosa repetição de textura típica dos jogos da 5ª geração (e Pokémon atuais) fica imperceptível. Imagem do console N64:

Kyle Owens, 34, from Iowa, is suing Nintendo and The Pokémon Company for $341,000 after being denied Pokémon Professor status. A background check revealed a pending 2022 arrest warrant for misdemeanors including disorderly conduct and criminal mischief. The Pokémon Professor program lets fans run official Pokémon events as organizers judges and helpers and gives them special tools and ways to make money Owens wants the status the right to host events and the money because he claims the company changed their reason for rejecting him.

@yuzokoshiro Have you seen the newest one? It's great too. m.youtube.com/watch?v=VPLg0c…

@SamaHoole And pretty much everyone who spreads this tale of red meat causing cancer never specifies that it only applies to processed meat. Plus, it certainly depends on which kind of processing was the meat subjected to. I wouldn't be surprised if the risk comes from chemical additives.

"The WHO classified red meat as a carcinogen." Yes. In 2015. Group 2A. Probably carcinogenic to humans. The classification was based on a meta-analysis finding that fifty grams of processed meat per day was associated with an 18 percent increase in relative risk of colorectal cancer. Let me translate that. Relative risk is the change in your odds. Absolute risk is your actual odds. The lifetime absolute risk of colorectal cancer in the general population is roughly 4 percent. An 18 percent relative increase moves it to approximately 4.7 percent. The risk has not doubled. The risk has not tripled. The risk has gone from one in twenty-five to roughly one in twenty-one, and only if you are eating fifty grams of processed meat every day for life. Smoking, in the same classification scheme, increases your relative risk of lung cancer by approximately 1,900 percent. Your risk of lung cancer goes from roughly 1 percent to roughly 20 percent. Group 1 carcinogens, the category processed meat shares with cigarettes, also include: alcoholic drinks, the contraceptive pill, wood dust, salted fish, sunlight, outdoor air in heavily polluted cities, and the profession of being a painter. Group 2A, where unprocessed red meat sits, includes: shift work, drinking very hot beverages, and the profession of being a barber. The classification reflects the strength of the evidence that something causes cancer. It does not reflect how much cancer the thing actually causes. Bacon and tobacco are not in the same league. They share a room because the room is the size of a warehouse.

been working on a maxscript utility to quickly and cleanly pixel snap UVs since the default workflow for that is both clunky and imprecise! pretty simple but very useful for lowspec work and modding old games like quake. if anyone wants to check it out I'll stick it in a reply
