Idk if I'm late but ngl that "save mass effect" petition kinda left a bad taste in my mouth

*bolting awake in a cold sweat* FOXBLADE'S PAUSE MENU SHOULD BE A BOOK / TOME

*trying to figure out why I feel mentally like shit for the last month or so* ah, right, SAD.

Funniest part of Chain of Memories has to be the bit where Vexen is like "I've come to collect!" and Goofy just leans over like "Sora do you owe somethin' to this guy"

Dang, I think my previous CGM site got infected. It's pretty angry & irritated rn

Mister video adapter arrived today, yippee. Don't have many good cables for it though (totally missing 3.5mm-to-RCA options so no sound yet), but can confirm it does work at least. Probably gonna just snag some cheap RCA cables on Amazon when I get paid next.

Wait a fucking second I'm looking at the drawing commands and I just realized You can totally do render textures on the PS1? And it's not even that hard, just potentially takes a lot of memory.

My cat Aura has knocked over her bowl & gotten kibble everywhere And she keeps picking one kibble, batting it around like a toy for several minutes before finally eating it, then going back to the pile to pick out a new one to repeat the process...

She is doing this for every single kibble on the floor 😭

Memory card got here They shipped it stuffed inside of a Redbox clamshell lmao

Think I saw a post about the actual definition of nostalgia as not just the "fondly remembering the past" part but also the "melancholy of knowing you can't go back and relive it" and like I think that's exactly it. That specific bittersweetness is the emotion & tone I want to hit in Foxblade.

Seeing Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow at the top is making me really think about just how *many* AI projects I've seen redoing work that has already been done. SNES Doom recomp -> Doom is already open source KH: ReCoM PC port -> Literally on Steam already And now these translations of R/B/Y??

HLSL: *calls it a ByteAddressBuffer* Also HLSL: *forces you to load aligned 32 bit integers from it*

Ohh man I love when I'm just sitting there randomly jumping from thought to thought and then I have a cool as hell story idea for my game and it's got So Many Themes in it

Me: "oh wait did I finish drinking my coffee?" *Looks around for my cup* *Finds the espresso machine still on. Fresh grounds inside* Not only did I not finish drinking it, I didn't even finish making it

Fun realization: The PS1's geometry transform engine uses 16-bit vector and matrix elements... with 12-bit fractional precision. So uh. The range of an input vector is approximately -8 to +7.99 lmao

Probable workaround: - any given mesh can't be any larger than 16 units on each axis. - a level is chunked up into multiple such meshes, each with a calculated translation to shift it into place
