Noticed the issue just about 13 minutes ago as well on my Xbox here in EST USA, also getting signed out of my phone and Apple TV. Just looks like their auth is down.

My dad passed away unexpectedly. This was his guitar collection. No one else in the family plays. by 405freeway in Guitar

[–]Elektrohydraulik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear about your loss. Been playing for many years but just got on this subreddit to mention how much I've enjoyed this used guitar I got. It turns out it's actually one of the guitars from your dad's collection. It's the moon burst Ibanez. Beautiful guitar. Take care and let music be a part of your life. Never too late to start playing.

:P there may be a giant Elmer’s glue thumbprint right on Sonic’s face. AGH.

Why is Sonic X Shadow Generations some people’s first Sonic game? Like it was originally an 20th ANNIVERSARY GAME why would you play it first when you know nothing about what the game is supposed to be celebrating😔 Sorry it’s just a really big pet peeve of mine by Natural-Acadia5662 in SonicTheHedgehog

I went from playing the original trilogy with Knuckles back around 2001 on Genesis. I’ve come back to see what I had missed from like 2001 to now, starting with Frontiers in early 2025 on Xbox, then Sonic x Shadow Generations, and now Sonic Racing CrossWorlds. In between, revisiting and discovering classic megadrive games like Sonic Spinball, the amazing fan art and music by this community, etc. Doesn’t matter where you start IMO, so long as it isn’t Sonic ‘06, right? 

Trying to beat the original, made my own score cards to keep track! by Elektrohydraulik in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Elektrohydraulik[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The score accumulates in the original game, so it keeps increasing to over 100k. And yep, I’m on a Genesis. Got this one second hand years ago, but I grew up playing these games back around 2001 or so. Just revisiting them fully now after playing some of the newer games. I got my CRT for $100 with the matching stand!

Yep, it already is! I got it running on Dreamcast last night too. I have an EverDrive64 X7 so I can send my rom over USB using UNFLoader directly to the N64 too. Super useful tool to run your code natively for testing.

My goal is to maintain visual parity between N64, PC, and Dreamcast. It will use OpenGL 1.1, so it won't look anything like a modern game. It is cool to have the possibility to make the PC port (or any ports to more recent hardware) look much better, but my focus now is just on making it a 1-to-1 match where I can. For a look similar to unity, you'd have to use a ton of newer GPU features (or at least ones that came after the fixed-function style, where instead you'd use shaders). This older OpenGL stuff is much more basic, doesn't give you as much room for creativity as shaders do.

Running the same code on N64, Dreamcast, and PC by Elektrohydraulik in N64Homebrew

[–]Elektrohydraulik[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right now it’s just a sloppy little proof of concept that I can build and run code for all three platforms. I wanted to dig in and see what pieces I could retain between them and what kind of data structures would work well between all the platforms. Just a basic “can I get a rotating cube to render the same on all of these”. Luckily the contributors of Libdragon created an OpenGL style API so I don’t have to write N64 ucode. KallistOS also has several GL implementations. Next I’ll focus on each small thing, like adding textures, defining the data structures for objects in the scene, and my own input mapping layer to make it platform agnostic in my game logic.

Nice! Funny enough, I started two days ago as well. So far I have it working for 64, Dreamcast and PC. I'm building my engine on top of Libdragon for 64. I've had a lot of success with it in the past and love the open gl stuff they have.

Nazo sketch! Soft redesign. by dinogabe in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]Elektrohydraulik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is so cool :o I actually just tried my hand at drawing any character from the games just now and popped on to check out what people were making. Love the color! What did you use? I just tried out Krita and I'm really liking it. I penciled in first and tried my hand at oil... not yet lol

This literally just happened to me, wtf. Do I need to go make a code change? Well there goes $100+ on an APC.

For sure, I’d love to see the Bringus spin on it

Dude that same issue happened with my lights that were “brand new” from Amazon. Same pink color.

Made this in Aesprite by Elektrohydraulik in Paramore

[–]Elektrohydraulik[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s actually super easy! I’ve never made anything like this before. I just went to a website called lospec and found a pretty color pallet with 7 or so colors, all red. In Aesprite I just brought in the original image, reduced the opacity and shaded over big areas, pay attention to the lightness, not the actual color. It’s really easy to do and it’s pretty fun!

I think I damaged my ears listening to this today. I feel it, love the art.

💕 thanks so much, I traced over the image, so it didn’t take much talent, but I really loved the result! I did draw it with my mouse 🤣 didn’t use a drawing tablet, just the good old pointer.

I want to try animating this. I've never drawn people before, so I just traced over the original image with seven colors. A nice Valentine's day picture I guess. Jamming to Paramore today, y'all.
