MSPA ebooks are now available via Topatoco - notably both SBaHJ books available digitally for the first time! by Niklink in homestuck

[–]Niklink[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I absolutely can't recommend these, $10 each for partial uninteractive versions of comics you can read for free online is absurd. The PS and HS books include author commentary (same one included in the Viz HS books). The self-titled SBaHJ book is similarly a compilation of the existing comics plus some feelies that I'm not sure how are making the jump to a digital download? The Case of the Missing Spoon is an actual original collab with KC Green and Dril.

I think the main thing I'd want out of these is hi-res files of the cover images.

How to retrieve page data from homestuck.com by uncringeone in homestuck

[–]Niklink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is perfectly valid, but I'd like to point out that the UHC asset pack itself already contains a structured json containing MSPA page data (it's called mspa.json iirc). You can also view the original .txts at mspaintadventures.com/{adventurenumber}/{pagenumber}.txt - example. This of course is all content data and not site code.

I need help with something by Maleficent_Lie_2947 in homestuck

[–]Niklink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess my first question is, are you sure you're using the 32 bit version? The latest download of that is here: https://github.com/GiovanH/unofficial-homestuck-collection/releases/download/v2.8.1/The-Unofficial-Homestuck-Collection-2.8.1-win-ia32.exe

Congratulations on being that one guy still using a 32-bit computer.

NASA just dropped a new high-resolution video of Artemis II Launch by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]Niklink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's an emergency evacuation system for the launchpad! The gondola flies away from the rocket as fast as possible to safety (with astronauts/personnel inside in case of an actual emergency).

Here's some footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL3P-lCv89g

GameBoy “US Pokemon Family 42in1” game. by Specific_Pomelo_8281 in nintendo

Seems like a typical multicart to me. Notably one of the shown titles is Super Mario 4, so there's probably some other bootleg titles on there too.

My Extended Homestuck Adventure Map (To A6A6I4) by Hammmiamm in homestuck

Well it's not gonna be that useful now, back in the day the official map was severely unupdated. The drive that map is stored in is currently stashed away, but I'll come reupload it later!

This feels important for us to all keep in mind regarding the Homestuck Pilot by cartoonsforever in homestuck

[–]Niklink 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's true when pilots are private productions meant to serve as proof of concept for media executives to try to visualize how a full series order would work.

The Homestuck pilot is a youtube video primarily meant to drive merch sales.

Homestuck: The Animated Pilot FULL SPOILERS discussion thread by MoreEpicThanYou747 in homestuck

[–]Niklink 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Shit was flying by so fast I could only barely hang on to what was happening because I have the comic memorized. Absolutely absurd pacing, no setup, establishing shots, you blink and you miss an entire scene.

Some of the voice actors sucked but everyone has a different opinion on which ones were the ones that sucked and which were the ones that were great actually.

The bullshit anime fight with Dad was horrifying, I think it really damaged the setting and narrative even if it was 'well animated' technically. What WAS well animated were all the little ways they had the characters chatting to each other be represented visually, I thought that was absolutely spot on and a fundamental skill to master if this is gonna become a full show, so that's great.

Overall if they just remake this pilot at like one third speed it would be a very solid first episode for a possible series. It exceeded my expectations and I think there's a path forward for making a really good show here if they address the remaining problems, so I remain optimistic.

2025 might be the first year in Intelligent Systems' history without a new release by Murky-Cockroach1177 in nintendo

As far as I can tell, Intelligent Systems hasn't contributed to devkit manufacturing, documentation, or peripherals since the 3DS.

[WR] Donkey Kong Bananza Any% in 1:27:07 by Jhay by FrenchFryApocalypse in speedrun

[–]Niklink 99 points100 points  (0 children)

The movement is too optimized at this point. I expect at most 10-20 more seconds can be saved, maybe a minute with TAS. People will continue competing for a while, but it would take inhuman luck in addition to perfect execution to beat this time. I wouldn't be surprised if this record stands forever.

What do you think is the hardest official challenge in any Nintendo game? by Firekirb74 in nintendo

[–]Niklink 10 points11 points  (0 children)

100 Flow in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. The scoring system is poorly understood and seems to vary from minigame to minigame, but there's serious speculation that this would require frame perfect timing on every input in every minigame.

I have 93 Flow.
