THPS 2003+4, when? Or rather THPS 2003+3 ;-) On a serious note: I was really pondering before the release of #THPS3+4 if they'd localize the game's title for different regions again just like they did with THPS4 which was renamed Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2003 for its NTSC-J release.

#reTHAWed added THPS3's Los Angeles map recently and I found one feature missing that was in the #THUG2 version: The ability to climb trees. Their intention was to port the #THPS3 version but I think the THUG2 feature of climbing bigger trees and then doing a Natas on them isn't talked enough about.

We are on the cusp of AGI, definitely for real

You might have seen some flock of birds in #NFSMostWanted already as they fly over the streets passing you by but have you seen any birds in NFS Underground 2's Bayview? Turns out the PS2 demo version had them but they must have been removed before retail release. #NeedforSpeed #NFSUnderground2 #NFS

This is how I render most of my videos nowadays for Bluesky or YouTube. I used to edit and render my videos using expensive software back in the day but for short videos this does suffice. What you see is #FFmpeg rendering in the terminal. Cooler than Movie Maker or Clipchamp, eh? 😉 #Linux #Terminal

🎞️ New open-source tool reverses pixelation in video using FFmpeg, GIMP & edge detection - no AI needed. By analyzing motion across frames, it reconstructs blurred content. Pixelation isn’t privacy. 🛠️ github.com/KoKuToru/de-... #ffmpeg #opensource #infosec #osint #linux #technews

Finally we get a #ViceCity DLC after all these years 🥹👨‍🍳 Also one of the best use cases for AI voices if you ask me. youtu.be/K3IqJysNjII

I don't want to tell you all of my secrets but one way to have a nice view over Guntama is by trying to glitch under objects like rocks/vegetation or ramming into walls and then resetting your car. The result is similar to the 'Swingset of Death' glitch found in #GTA4. #JapaneseDriftMaster #JDMGame

I think dividing the city of Ichikara into two parts was a performance decision. I triggered a glitch that launched me over the city and luckily I took some photos. Here are two screenshots I took. Flying over the north unloads the south and vice versa with the train tracks as a divider 🏙️🚆🏙 #JDMGame

Oh wow, the monkey room and hippo easter egg area from THPS4 are still in #THPS3+4 Zoo but they're completely unused with no textures on them.

The one magazine you cannot get in the full version and it is also the most expensive one of them all (as far as I know) at a price of 6.99 (if it should be US dollars). I'm sure I'd pay 6.99 whatever the currency if this existed for real :-) #NeedForSpeed #NFSUnderground2 #PS2

One of the biggest myths about the PS2 Linux Kit is that it was made to exploit an EU tax loophole. It was not. Sony used a simpler trick by bundling Yabasic with PAL PS2s to classify them as programmable computers.

30 Years later, skaters are still obsessed with this Sony

(Spoiler alert for #JDMGame) At the end of the game there is a mission where you get to drive the car of one of the bosses for once. The caveat? You are limited to the Ichikara area and it's only for 5 minutes. What can we do about that? Watch my tutorial video down below to explore the full map🗾🏎️☺️

A widescreen patch for #THPS2x got released very recently so I tried to play through the game again and found an interesting bug in the Streets of San Francisco level for the first time ever. You can skate this wall (shown in the video) upwards. Looks like a wrong property was assigned to the wall.

My little nephew says they are mating but I say it is only a bug. But wait...maybe he is onto something and this is why the animals got removed from the Zoo level in #THPS3+4? Btw, hope they can fix it #ReTHAWed #THPS #THPS4

Had this texture lying around for a while now and put in some time today to finish it. By no means perfect, but the game itself is very dark and I did my best to make it look like in #NeedforSpeedUnderground2 which is a much brighter game. #NightRunners Download here: github.com/Nights744/Ra...

Ever wondered why players in older NFS titles are so damn fast and you can't beat their records? With arcade racing games in general it's a little known secret that by fooling a game into thinking you have a wheel, assists get turned off and you can directly steer: www.nfsaddons.com/downloads/nf...

You were always wondering what 'that thing' is on the minimap at Beacon Hill in #NFSUnderground2? Then I have good news for you: There's someone remaking the game on Unreal Engine 5 and if you're really curious download the demo from their discord discord.gg/NcXcVWtFyj and drive to that location 😉

How I look like when a perfectly fine game I had on my wishlist I was about to buy gets delisted from digital stores because the publisher has given up on it: #StopKillingGames

I don't know who made this image or meme anymore but I think it is brilliant. If you are the author, please drop a message here! I think both quotes were actually said by these actors in their respective media and putting them into one image for comparison is brilliant 🥇 I'm on Team Rachel and you?

Installed CalyxOS on my Pixel 4a phone to extend its life — now it's on Android 14 ⭐️ The vanilla "stock" Android that came with the Google phone stalled at 13 since the company refuses to update its 2020 phones beyond a measly three-year mark 😡

#RadRide at auction today! #KeiTruck Sunday edition! Live from Milwaukee's Lakefront Cars & Coffee, I present to you this 96 Honda Acty! There was so much interest in these guys specifically yesterday at Hot Wheels & it's easy to see why! 4WD, 5-speed, AC, all truck! DM for interest or to bid! #JDM

Here is a quick video I recorded where I found my way out of the map. I actually recorded it a month ago but didn't want to spoil anybody thinking it's a real city. I think it depicts Tokyo because of the Tokyo Skytree 😃🌆: www.youtube.com/shorts/KzLSA... #JapaneseDriftMaster #JDMGame #東京 #東京スカイツリー

The castles found in #JDMGame are obviously not the only things inspired by real life Japanese architecture. If you've played the game for more than 60 minutes you should've noticed a very striking and bold blue tower by now. Take a look: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_S... #東京スカイツリー #TokyoSkytree

When I am really uncertain how to feel about a new game on #Steam I just do the following:

#YouTube is getting flooded by fake car and motorcycle adverts created by #AI and it won't stop anytime soon. I now disabled my watch and search history which turns the YouTube front page into a neat little black void. 🤩 Even in private few people send me these videos not knowing that it's not real.

Microsoft can't even get its own developers to use Copilot for coding lol www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-in...

Photo mode was promised for phase 2 of the post launch roadmap of JDM but got released earlier. It came with today's update. Here are some of my shots. You can really get lost in the options this mode has to offer. Even the cam focus can be tweaked for finest details. #JDMGame #JapaneseDriftMaster

Just some proof that #ReTHAWed still works on Linux even after the newest update that added stuff from THPS4👇😉 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧 Oh and btw: According to some hints here and there those little fellows will probably be missing from the newly announced #THPS3+4 as all the other animals. 🤫

If you're a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater player and a POSTAL fan at the same time, we have some good news for you... We've partnered with 10K Rising, the developers of the reTHAWed mod to bring some POSTAL content to it. Oh, it's free by the way! Check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO2Y...

Ever taken a look inside the 'Movies' folder of #JapaneseDriftMaster? The are some interesting nuggets to be found. One of the driving school tutorials for example "Movie_DrivingSchool_Drift_3.mp4" has all metadata intact. Author goes by the name of "BananaBoy" and it includes an unlisted yt url 😼

I hope he can finish his project *before* going to prison. Would be lovely. youtu.be/j4ROSHZJTzE #UnityEngine #ViceCity #GTAModding #Unity

These are the little bits and details most won't even notice and they oftentimes also do not make it into the changelogs of game updates and yet they do exist: This string of lights did not emit any light in the past but now it does ✨💡✨ #JapaneseDriftMaster #JDMGame #UnrealEngine

Going for a leisurely stroll through Rainbow Road in Mario Kart 64... ON MY SEGA #DREAMCAST! Hardware capture of the latest build of jnmartin's hotly anticipated port, now featuring background character textures in the sky that aren't corrupted into hellish demons! #gamedev #retrogaming #mariokart

The critics were right: There really is no Diddy Kong in this game, the character roster is uninspired and the open world quite limited. But hey: It supports all aspect ratios (including ultrawide), you can play it in almost any refresh rate without any issues and the graphics are smooth! #MarioKart
