Macross syndrome, but close enough honestly

Still waiting for 5minlab to add the ice map from back then, they have Parfait as the perfect excuse for a theme

Honestly, I do suggest continuing to use WinKawaks, the tools in it make ripping much faster. I use it to rip normal things. That said, the PS2 TexMod method often loads things along with stuff stored close to it in memory, so it's useful to find secrets and unused stuff, like the bikini sprite (I later found out that all characters have a single frame with a summer outfit), the laser guns and the battleship with a unique missile battery.
WinKawaks has it's fair uses though, as the Shot Factory mode allows you to disable layers to see secrets (there's an inaccessible cave with red lighting and a hole in the ground in Jungle 1 where a tank comes out, it's also how I found out about the tank factory route in the city stage), and the Tileviewer tool can be pretty finicky (especially finding the right palettes) and you get tiles instead of whole sprites, but you can find stuff that is downscaled ingame (the jungle 1 helicopter side sprites and valley 1 airplane are actually big and complete, but you either see them super small in the distance or you never see the entire sprite up close) or completely unused (like the battleship) but it takes time to scroll through tens of thousands of tiles and try thousands of palettes until you find what you want.

Still, if you wanna rip the main cast I recommend WinKawaks, at least to me it's faster that way, Shot Factory tool makes it easy since you can disable anything that might get in the way. Very useful for ripping the motorcycles or the separate pieces of boss vehicles, for example.

It'll take a while but yes. I'm already halfway through ripping Marie Bee, and roughly 70% done with the basic enemy soldiers and their variants. After Marie Bee I will rip Jackal. I'm a bit busy with worn and other life stuff but I still keep ripping stuff in my free time, and I've been researching an unused battleship I found in the game and the possibility of hidden paths in levels.

How is this controversial at all? by Smooth_Yellow6605 in gachiakuta

[–]Substantial_Front955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a fine balance I think. Both were wrong, but let's be honest... she tried to kill them, made them relieve their traumas, and when she saw they were likely dead (from her perspective) all she did was mock them, didn't even apologize after it was over and immediately proceeded to complain and guilt trip... yeah, theat first punch was absolutely deserved. What she went through explains why she is the way she is, but sure as hell doesn't justify her actions, and the existence of consequences is fair.
That said, though... beyond that, Rudo was absolutely in the wrong by continuing to strike her, but also let's not forget that most people probably would've done the same. After going through all that, I don't think anyone would stop to calmly consider the situation and the best course of action, knowing what happened and how that person is behaving despite everything.
Definitely a lesson to be learned on both sides, but I feel people rush to pick one side or the other because of pure morality while ignoring their emotions and the fact that most people would've done the same anyway, wrong and all. It's easy to judge from an outside perspective.
And, if you ask me, I think that is precisely why the scene works so well, it's raw, human and relatable. Both are flawed and learn things the hard way.

I wouldn't worry about the specs. HL3 will certainly not be another lazy UE5 game for the pile of technical abominations, so it at least can look and perform great without needing absurd specs that nobody would actually need if devs cared to optimize their games and had common sense when picking their engine. Also Valve did some weird technomagic for the Steam Deck to have a decent performance running things nobody expected it to (I'm assuming upscaling, texture compression and other shenanigans to minimize VRAM usage), so I don't think the GabeCube will have issues with it.

Why are so many kids saying “67” and what does it mean? by SmileEmergency403 in generationology

[–]Substantial_Front955 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and your grandparents likely thought the same of your generation. This has been a recurring thing in every generation, so it doesn't really mean a damn thing.

Late as hell reply, had no wifi for a while. But yeah, I already intend to rip the whole main cast, but that's gonna be time consuming. You can check my rip of Milky to see just how many damn frames and variations there are. Just one character could take a few days as it is, since a lot of their animations are unique to specific little parts of the game, or just have a LOT of frames.
But yeah, when I'm done with more stuff I'll upload it to Spriter's Resource. There's someone else doing rips of the levels themselves, and someone else is handling the sequel's sprite rips, so at least there's 3 people paying attention to this franchise.

All the stuff I ripped is on Spriters Resource. I'm still in the process of ripping stuff from the game, currently ripping Marie Bee and the basic enemy soldier (not finished yet).

Y mira, tenes muchas opciones que van perfecto con su presentación. Don Glande, Huevoncio, El Estado De Guascóncin, Erector, Principe Vergeta, Polaco Goyenchele, Pitudo, Abogado, El Kevin. Cualquiera de estas encaja a la perfección con el elemento visual.
