Initial thoughts on Dusk after a couple hours playing with the Gale Boomerang in hand: - For a v1.0.0, it's incredibly well made. There are plenty of options to choose from and it runs super well with some setting tweaks. Had I not had work tomorrow, I would have kept playing all night. [1/5]

TP at this resolution just feels right

Patenting math and video game mechanics does nothing but hurt the industry and future games (even Nintendo's) Without the ability to innovate on other's ideas, systems like these dont get improved on at the rate they should. Think about what math would be like had the Egyptians patented 1+1=2

github.com/microsoft/vs... In an epic turn of fate, Microslop deciding to shadow drop a feature which forces copilot marketing to every commit made through VSCode, regardless of whether copilot was used, has turned into a very strong marketing campaign for switching to other IDEs.

This is a dance off. If you see this, repost with a dance or get eliminated.

My US friends, never go with Farmers Insurance. We've been trying to cancel with them for an entire year and they're still trying to charge us. What a joke.

I should try crashing K. Rool ships more often. Another unused object instance, but this time it's a two-for-one deal. Wall Torch and Ammo crate very far (vertically) out of bounds in Angry Aztec.

There's an invisible bamboo gate that is never revealed in the game at all, despite there being code within this bamboo gate to reveal it.

Coming to DK64 Randomizer 6.0:

One of the fun things about having an open-source map viewer for DK64 is that such issues like "how do we make placing objects in maps easier in the DK64 space" can just be solved with a couple hours of coding. Coming soon to a DonkViewer near you.

Spawning lots of Mad Jacks is fun

This is the ideal screen ratio of dk64randomizer.com . You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

As is tradition, here's my DK64 "All Blue Faceless Switches" TAS for 2026's April 1st. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhMw...

DK64 Randomizer getting a semi-shout out in a Supper Mario Broth post We did it, reddit

Donkey Kong 64 has a large number of collectibles, but the Internet is full of misinformation on what exactly that number is. I present an accurate count based on comprehensive datamining, aiming to answer this question once and for all: Donkey Kong 64 has 2142 collectibles.

I love getting comments claiming that the 101% TAS "isn't 101%" because I don't get 3500 Colored Bananas, because it gives me an opportunity to talk about the game's percentage. It is a little frustrating that "101% is defined by the game definition of 101%" isn't enough to sway opinions.

Wake up honey, its that time of the year where we hear James Allen go "ooh my word" in every reel/short.

The Minecraft devs get a lot of flack for no real reason when the drops system is really an issue with management I feel, and probably the biggest issue with the game right now. With the one update a year system, every type of player got something they liked most of the time. (1/6)

The trailers for the Malcolm in the Middle sequel and the Devil wears Prada sequel appeared in my recommends randomly from some very unknown channel, and my first thought was "Oh, that's obviously AI" They both hit the hallmark of a lot of AI Trailers. (1/2)

Sometimes it's fun to be dumb with DK64 (sound on)

Whoever thought to mix Metallica and a symphony orchestra 27 years ago deserves all the raises

I can already smell the "2026 championship without Mercedes" videos appearing on YouTube

Each of us is leading a difficult life, and when we meet people we are seeing only a tiny part of the thinnest veneer of their complex, troubled existences. To practise anything other than kindness towards them, to treat them in any way save generously, is to quietly deny their humanity Derren Brown

So, turns out that DK64, Kazooie and Tooie have similar enough soundfont contents and compiled binary format that you can convert a DK64 track (vanilla or custom) in it's compiled binary form to either Banjo game's format without having to convert it back to a MIDI, and it'll sound almost identical.

Sounds like they're not gonna be making any more Red Dwarf with the original quartet anymore. Whilst it makes sense (Robert is nearly 70), and the show enjoyed a longer run than many others, I don't think it really got the ending it deserved. Instead RD 13/14 has been in limbo for 6 years.

Today, I give thanks to vanilla DK64. 4 bug reports have turned up in the 5.0 bug reports chat today, and because of the vanilla game, only 25% of them are actual rando bugs that need fixing (the other 75% being non-serious bugs with the vanilla game)

In Donkey Kong 64, the Giant Spider miniboss can only be fought once. Modifying the game to fight it a second time makes it unceremoniously explode. While this appears to be a glitch, examining the code reveals it was actually deliberately added for the developers' own amusement.

This is a great training diagram and we will be teaching DK64R devs that they "must continvoucly morge your PRs over Tinm" /s

You're not ready for the SHEER madness that is gonna be DK64 Randomizer 6.0. You think you are You are not

I got you

Unfortunately wasn't able to go to GDQ this year despite donk getting in. However, @2dos.dk64randomizer.com was incredibly generous and got me one of the staff shirts regardless. Great run on stage and glad that we got to kick cancer's butt.

Everything @keiperdontcare.bsky.social has ever done has lead to this moment. All decisions he has made, every step he has walked, all lead to this vital singular moment in time. #agdq2026

DK 64 Randomizer fans are making a strong showing in GDQ crowd. Does anyone know where someone could learn more about this run? @connor75.bsky.social and @keiperdontcare.bsky.social are putting on an a-peel-ing show #agdq2026

We should normalize documentation of good Linux workarounds for common workflows for your hobbies. I'm now on Linux Fedora KDE instead of Windows, and it's been great so far. Trying to find the alternatives is fun, but guides & recommendations are endlessly helpful

Cause I would 100% trust my ID with the owner of a random site who openly admits they might retain it for as long as they want... ( /s ) What a backwards, tone-deaf policy

The DK64 Randomizer development team will be having a panel at AGDQ 2026! We'll be going through the history of the randomizer as well as how it was made. See you there!

New video from WhitePointer talking about crashes in DK64. Its a solid video that I provided some technical help on: youtu.be/A0bWoo1h8FQ?...

Adding these to Donk Viewer (cause of course I am) and found 2 interesting tidbits. There's an ambient SFX bubble that is near (most) Cranky's Lab locations to play the electricity SFX. Eg: Picture 1 For Factory though, this is incredibly offset to the middle of the room. Why?

Babe, wake up! A new inexplicable part of the map geometry file was found

I found where the game stores the paths that the minecarts have to adhere to during the minecart rides, and it's pretty nonsensical. ❌ Enemy Paths File ❌ Object Paths File ❌ In it's own unique file ✅ Map Geometry File Cause the best place to put something unseen is in the file for seen things.

Next year will be our year
