work on namco museum vol. 5 has felt slow thanks to the game rooms. psxprev was able to import all models from 1-4 without issue, but it simply can’t parse vol 5’s game rooms. so instead, i’ve been using avocado’s 3D screenshots to capture models, then i stitch those together to recreate the models.

successfully did a deep cleaning and thermal repasting on a PS3 Slim today. its idle temps dropped an entire 11 degrees celsius. i’m feeling pretty good about it. long live playstation 3

Happy mar10 day I guess

fun fact friday: namco museum vol 5's pac-mania room is excessively bright. like, to an absurd degree. to replicate its lighting in vrchat, you need to set the intensity of your lights to 6. that's not normal. (the walls, floor, and ceiling beams are unlit though)

In WarioWare: Twisted, Jimmy's boss microgame can be won instantly if the console is tilted 720° in less than half a second. In practice, this is achieved by literally physically throwing the console.

day 65

room's done

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

i may be stupid. i’ve only just now realized that bad bunny is like, a real person. he’s a rapper with a career and stuff. when i heard there was a “controversial bad bunny show during the super bowl”, i just imagined a bunny mascot putting on a performance in spanish. and i never questioned that.

how hard could it be to synchronize a moving platform across two clients? oh. uh. that's not supposed to happen.

m&ms adventure on the wii is the king of exposition

!!!requesting help from anyone who can make Unity shaders!!! i need help replicating a PlayStation effect where flat-shaded quads are darkened as the viewpoint moves further away from them, and their original colors return as it moves closer. please refer to this video demonstration:

Happy Electric Feel Friday,

still a long ways to go before the finish line, but the lobby area for Namco Museum Vol. 5 is like 90% complete and i wanted to share a lil preview!

It’s #fursuitfriday let’s pounce on this weekend.

it takes 3 hours to sufficiently gaslight a teen so hard they have a violent depressive episode that leads to them reluctantly accepting their death as a catalyst to revive a teen the world deems more important

favorite ms pac-man quote

i just wanted to play Santa

decided to replay Metroid today, but this time, i played on a CRT. i'm *blown away* by how much better this game looks on CRT, especially with Kraid. his claws look curved, his body is so smooth, the highlights blend so naturally, and his face is like a mini kaiju. i wish my phone captured it better

There have been signs

Ai being pushed on us so ferociously is a reminder that companies will always sell us shit they know is bad for us with a smile. Here are some vintage ads for plastic, Cigarettes (endorsed by a Dr), and Candy as a source of healthy energy. Oh! Can't forget the magic of asbestos!

i made a beat saber cube plush as a surprise christmas gift for a friend! it came out a lot plumper than i anticipated, though… doesn’t look like a cube at all. i hope it’s still recognizable at a glance. i’m probably just overthinking it.

woooof, i’ve been sleeping heavily since MFF. real tired hours. it’s honestly tough getting back into the swing of day-to-day life, that convention was truly something special. i think this is the most emotional a furcon has made me ever since my very first.

I've been playing with getting more ActiveWorlds stuff into VRChat >:3

protip: girls love it when you do this

Tenor Terrace has been added to #ToonTown #VRChat. The HQ interior also got re-atlased for optimization. Plus, its laboratory has been made accessible, so you can waltz right through the glass wall and get a close look at this tantalizingly off-limits area. As a treat. Happy Halloween.

don't feed the trolls (official US government information outlets)

honestly very odd to see official US government accounts posting ragebait on social medias

turns out there was a bug with the new billboard shader, but ONLY for android users, ONLY on the TTC streetlamps/trees, and ONLY when the holiday is Halloween. this issue does not affect anything else using the new billboard shader. i fixed it, but here's a video of the perplexing yet hilarious bug

I've made kobold ice cubes

𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙎 𝙅𝙐𝙎𝙏 𝙄𝙉!! Local Marshmallow Visits ToonTown~ (Gosh I love this world. ToonTown Online was a HUGE part of my childhood. Shout out to the makers!! It’s so nostalgic and whimsical! Wild to be able to walk around and see everything in VR! 💚)

Baritone Boulevard was added to #Toontown #VRChat! Additionally, Toontown Central's billboarded objects now use the new billboard shaders. I've also redone a few of the atlases (or as Toons know them, "palettes") for TTC's textures. These invisible changes should hopefully optimize the world further

This art was on the side of one of the most successful arcade machines ever, and everyone was still like, yeah, no, he shouldn’t look like that

In Super Mario Odyssey, kicking things is Mario's highest priority, overriding all other actions. If a kickable object, such as a football, is thrown at Mario while he is asleep, he will momentarily wake up just to kick it before instantly going back to sleep.

The unsavvy talk about furries like they're some hypersexual excretion of modernity, but drawing animal-people is one of the top 10 neolithic human activities. It's up there with collecting berries and producing clay figures of fat women.

#Toontown #VRChat has been updated to add Alto Avenue! If you despise the color green, this is a lovely street to stroll through. If you love the color green, I'd direct you to Acorn Acres, which has been updated to use the new billboard shaders. (And it's a very nice spot to chill for Labor Day!)

This is what happens when you make a mistake

healthcare fucking sucks. did your provider make you pay for faulty equipment? that’s too bad. pay the full damn price again so we can send you the equipment again. fingers crossed it won’t be faulty this time!

#Toontown #VRChat has been updated! Minnie's Melodyland has been added. Plus, there's now a touchscreen button for the Shtickerbook, so mobile users won't be left behind. Next step is to add Alto Avenue and gradually convert all prior billboarded objects from using scripts to shaders.
