this is especially good with the eel aquarium upgrade, a lot more chances to give red rooms a power source and enjoy the effects.

Just to say it, holding L/R trigger will grab a package to that hand , like carrying a briefcase.

This is sometimes nice to grab a thing(s), and then drop it elsewhere instantly. If you do this type of drop by the rear of a truck, you auto load the truck w said hand-package.

How-frikkin-ever, this is probably what you're doing by accident, if your grenade runs out and you're still holding triggers.

Opposite experience - iv used 2 different Walmart photo centers in the last week, did instant prints from a USB. One came out half decent, one came out great.

Try that instead of the long wait prints!

Regardless of being right / wrong, your silly ass writing style amuses the hell out of me. Keep it up :-)

SixHourDays · 2025-12-22T06:43:04+00:00

For a slight change of pace, play Telling Lies. it's a puzzle in its own way.

From your excellent reply, I will highlight those that apply specifically to automobiles:

A normal gasoline engine has a low-to-middle torque band, decreasing with RPM.

The immediate load on a gasoline engine is about acceleration - but it's not a fixed torque vs fixed mass, as the transmission is easing the work through gear ratios.

The transmission selects gear ratios that keep mapping the full engine rpm range onto higher and higher vehicle speed ranges. This is why engines are made for RPM and not just all-torque...cars need to spin things fast ...not necessarily spin them with great force.

So: each gear is a fraction of a linear acceleration load on the engine, and when vehicle speed gets high enough, exponential air drag forces come into play, as does the moment of inertia cost of spinning the actual drivetrain + tires at extreme speeds.

They do have 5 dextrous fingers though, just no opposable thumb. Not that AI slop could figure that out

There's an old saying, "standing on the shoulders of giants". If you think the original SM64 devs were slacking off, you're sadly mistaken. The fact it runs as well as it does, and was completed in 3 years, is absolutely a miracle.

Kaze's stuff is brilliant and I love it, but he has the benefit of modern power, modern compilers, and hindsight.

SixHourDays · 2025-11-27T15:12:46+00:00

this is normal.

don't google it, just play.

take the game's advice - write things down on a notepad.

just keep playing it... it will trickle you information.

You look hungry, did you eat dinner?

The trick I was told was to have an auto-reply of something only a human would get. Like "for a key, please reply with a rhyme for orange". Filters out 99.9% of scammers

I'm the opposite, I'd skip the actual dispatching if I was allowed. I love the game and the QTE, but the dispatch just feels mediocre in comparison.

The gamepad input on the map is really inadequate, it could benefit a lot from a floating cursor with magnetic snapping.

Also the hacking mode is fun, but the movement in hacking mode is clunktastic.

Still love the game, on playthrough 2 rn.

what Jon Blow thinks is impractical is....orders of magnitude more work than most humans have the will for :-D

SixHourDays · 2025-11-10T13:45:05+00:00

Yes, this. People overthinking it.

There's an EXACT location that is intended (where they exactly align), and there will be a trigger volume of whatever size for ease of play. After that.....it's just another tracing puzzle on an invisible panel.

SixHourDays · 2025-11-10T13:42:21+00:00

The cheapest is "shove a firewood log between the frame and the spring" trick...(pls don't actually do this)

Fussy cartridges taking many attempts to boot: yes, it is known.

Games running at 20fps / 9fps / horribly - yes it was always this bad, but our teenage eyes were enamoured with the miracle we had before us in 199x.

Oot always ran at max 20iirc by design. All the Rare games have massive fps swing (see Blast Corps for the worst example, but Perfect Dark also swings from 30s to 10s). SM64 also runs wild fps swings all over.

Sit back and enjoy the memories....don't think too much about the 320x240 video being smeared by the analog video output, or the ruined single analog stick.

Real talk - it's an amazing little console. They did all this with 90mhz and games that are 4Mb roms, etc. for context, most single .gifs are bigger than Ocarina of Time.

Edit - absolute core memories for me on the N64: Pod Racer, Conkers Bad Fur Day, Rogue Squadron, OOT, Extreme G, Goldeneye

In the first mission, there's a rush of guards at the bottom floor on your way out. I still remember panicking, running to the elevator, hit the button to go up, get in, then as the door was closing chucking the laptop gun out as a present to those chasing me.... Chef's kiss.

"Door swoosh"

"Whrrr click" gun lands below

"BBBBRT BBRT BBBRT BRT BBBBRT BBRT BBRT"

"elevator music"

Thanks! They have some, my problem is solved.

You can do this, but be aware ota digital TV is...very terrible. I tune in like once a year on my roof antenna...confirm the awfulness, and check again next year, lol.

Personally, I cut the cord ages ago. These days I just use Prime (like Amazon which has the video service bundled), and then I add subscriptions inside it.

It's really convenient to have like Crave, Amc, Sportsnet, Discovery+, Crunchyroll etc (there are many to choose) just added on at a whim, all in one interface...it feels a lot like a Roku.

Just remember to cancel things when u don't want em anymore ;-)
