The Still New What Did You Last Do Thread

[yum13241]

The last thread was getting a bit rusty on account of the random bloodstains in the last few pages, so I've taken the liberty of giving you all a new one. In this thread, you may mention things like what you're playing lately, music you've been listening to, stuff you've eaten, other cool things you've done that aren't technically considered things you're working on.

But a few things you might want to know first:

• Feel free to discuss things with each other but please don't let it get too heated. It's a pain to have to bin the posts.
• There are some things better left unsaid. You may want to reconsider mentioning things like your sex life.
• All usual forum rules still apply, so no porn, no warez, no shouting matches.

You may now resume your regularly scheduled gossiping.

Just beat UltDOOM plus Sigil (sorry, I had to cheat) on HMP.

Holy smokes... Homestuck. It's been a while. And you did a nice job with the voice in the trailer. Absolutely deep and ominous and i like it

Remember Homestuck? It's back - in pog form!

And yeah, there's still a pretty active fandom around creating fan content. Official content kinda turned into a garbage fire in the last year and a half but we're still trucking.

And thank you - I got a compliment on it from the VA who did Shinji's voice for the Netflix re-dub of Evangelion and that sent me over the fucking moon.

Speaking of Netflix, I found out it takes a minimum of 3 years for a book to get from being published to being adapted to Amazon, Netflix or TV.. 3 years... Heres to hoping my book series gets adapted! if it does then by the time it does then my 6 book series will be finished.

I should really finish and publish any of my writing, so I can finally realize my dream of having my female lead played by Sarah Rafferty from Suits.

Now you've peaked my interest!

I finally got around to trying out https://skeld.net. It's fun.

I've been playing though Cruelty Squad despite spoiling the entire game for myself.

While the Steam user reviews consist of blatant jokes, I really do recommend this game because the level design is fantastic and the difficulty absolutely infuriating.

And fishing is OP.

Went camping this week at Yogi Bear Park, and my daughter got this "Colorful Fire" pack and you would throw it in the bonfire and the fire would change colors.. It turned green and light blue.. but no red or purple. :-\

I guess they added some kind of harmless chem in there. Speaking of which, i still do wonder if pink explosion is possible.

Lithium Nitrate, under flash point, may show a Pink Flame explosion. Green explosion contains high concentrations of Copper Sulfate, Red flame contains high concentrations of Rubidium Nitrate, and Orange flame contains high concentrations of Sodium Chloride.

How i know this? I had to look up ignition colors for my book series, and it heavily references, Rubidium Nitrate. A Substitute for Potassium Nitrate.

I have nothing about it to share but I was making myself a personal list of non-mechanically redundant games (i.e. no entirely-plot-driven games) i liked and ended up with 250 of them that spanned from 1983 to 2012 across consoles, arcades and computer platforms... and then I had columns about:

- The gist of the game (i.e. "2D space adventure with ship fighting", "2D party of five JRPG", "3D elf stick game", "2.5D very racist shooter that happens to have fun vehicles", "Text-based artificial psychologist abuser", etc.)
- Year of release
- Years it evokes (either for technical, art reasons or just its relevance window)
- Country of origin (US/Japan/UK mostly, if I know the state/province/prefecture then i'll include that)
- Is it designed for multiplayer
- 1-10 of cultural relevance (a bit of 1's in there, also very US biased)
- 1-10 of personal nostalgia/slant
- What (very dead) multiplayer services did it support
- Is it open sourced/reverse engineered (leaks and straight disassembly doesn't count)
- Legal status (Most were "Commercial/Hell")
- The most faithful implementation/port
- The most legacy-platform-supporting port (does it run on win9x etc)
- Known pipeline issues (usually blank, filled in with problems I know of)
- FOSS equivalent (standalone functioning clone, or just media)
- Recent modern indie/commercial equivalent
- Is it possible to do that (with the tools and knowledge available and art load, or if there's legal problems)
- Art load (describes the majority of the required assets, like "sprites", "motion capture animation" etc)
- Does it work on a Pi through Box86 (if it's a Win32 game)
- Could a Dreamcast handle a proper port (theoretical)
- How about a PS2
- N64?
- DOS?


During the creation of the list, I went down the list and discovered some recent port projects I never knew earlier, that I really want to point out:
https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Vanilla-Conquer
https://github.com/OpenFodder/openfodder
https://github.com/omf2097/openomf
https://github.com/loadzero/chopper258

As well as realizations of a couple of classic maccy things sources, which don't get a lot of love...

also had a terrible realization that the linux downstream world has no sports (other than soccer, and if it's soccer, it's always sensible soccer)

That reminds me of another project I recently discovered:
https://github.com/OpenHV/OpenHV

A fully FOSS game built upon OpenRA engine and using assets created long ago by Daniel Cook for a couple of never-released games, plus some remastered Tyrian graphics.

Looks very Bullfrog-ish having to do a hi-res game with art like that. Hopefully it's got the low-passed PCM and Loudnessesque FM music thing going on too

My drone I called "Aunt Meg" from the movie twister that i used in my storm chases, met its watery end when it landed in a creek. I am slated to get another one though. Maybe name it "Dorothy," or "Aunt Meg II"

Sometimes seeing even a buggy menubar can feel quite satisfying when you've spent months booting just enough of the unrealscript VM, playsim and package environment for it to draw itself
