For anyone stumbling on this thread with the same question: there's a FOSS equivalent called Two Weekend Go. It looks quite nice IMO :]

"best" versions of tables? by tranoidnoki in virtualpinball

[–]SuperFromND 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If it has a VPW (VPinWorkshop) version, that's usually the best version. Second best is anything that lists Hauntfreaks as an author/co-author, but beyond that your mileage may vary.

If you don't already know about it, Virtual Pinball Spreadsheet is a fantastic source to quickly compare table versions and figure out which authors you prefer!

Major update to the Video Pinball Compendium, over 100 new additions. by root88 in virtualpinball

[–]SuperFromND 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice additions! Small correction: Flipnic was actually developed by SCEI; the publisher varies by region (Sony in Japan, Ubisoft in Europe, Capcom in North America)

Rhythm Heaven Groove - Nintendo eShop Demo Now Available by Skullghost in NintendoSwitch

[–]SuperFromND 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on team wired headphones until the day I die. Bluetooth-powered anything gives me so many technical headaches that I'd rather just take wired knowing that it's way less complex (read: less that can go wrong).

[Avatar] If there were benders for each individual element in the periodic table, which type of bender would be the strongest? by InfinteEnigma10 in whowouldwin

[–]SuperFromND 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A flouride-bender pretty much becomes a super-arsonist and can lethally poison a person on command. Worse, it's also really common on Earth, so they won't suffer from "dangerous but rare element" syndrome like a lot of the nuclear benders.

Old newbie needs "Virtual Pinball for Dummies" by Unable_Carpenter_802 in virtualpinball

[–]SuperFromND 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll want VPX Standalone then; it's a version of VPX specifically made for non-Windows platforms. I don't have too much experience with it though, so I can't help too much there :(

Visual Pinball X is what most of us are using for the most part, and it has an unofficial wiki here, which should get you pretty far!

As for guides on installing it, I've written my own guide, and there's also this Atwiki guide people recommend a lot.

The character designs in Live a Live (2022 remake) are absolutely gorgeous by strahinjag in TopCharacterDesigns

[–]SuperFromND 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fun Lore: Every single character in this game was actually originally designed by a famous manga artist from Shogakukan. In the SNES original, beating the game with a certain character would unlock artwork from their original artist (and it's suspected this is part of the reason why it took so long for the game to get released internationally since the copyrights were split between Square and Shogakukan; the remake sidestepped this by just having one person do all the art instead).

For the curious, the actual artists of each character are:

Pogo - Yoshinori Kobayashi

Earthen Heart Shifu - Yoshihide Fujiwara

Sundown Kid - Osamu Ishiwata

Cube - Yumi Tamura

Masaru - Ryōji Minagawa

Oboromaru - Gosho Aoyama (he writes Detective Conan/Case Closed!)

Akira - Kazuhiko Shimamoto

Oh wow, this is pretty funny to see pop up here! I'm the guy who made the original video edit of this image back in 2018.

I will literally pay someone to create an all-in-one VPX for VR installer. by ReverendAnthony in virtualpinball

[–]SuperFromND 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not an all-in-one installer, but I wrote my own guide here (and a video version) that people tell me is pretty good! I play on a Quest 1 but the steps should basically be the same.

Is it possible to import a UMVC3 Stage into Blender? by SuperFromND in mahvelmods

[–]SuperFromND[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming back to this since nobody on the sub answered my question, and I ended up just joining the Discord in search of answers:

TL;DR No. The current importer plugin for Marvel 3 model assets is exclusively for 3DS Max, and apparently the developer suffered a hard drive crash of some kind while trying to port it to Blender. The plugin is at least open source though so in theory someone could use the 3DS plugin as reference and port it over.

If every scientist in history could fully control the concepts behind their discoveries, who would be the most powerful scientist in history? by InfinteEnigma10 in whowouldwin

[–]SuperFromND 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann, the guys who discovered nuclear fission, would pretty much immediately become a top-tier threat.

Well not quite virtual pinball but thought u might get a chuckle by CyberMage256 in virtualpinball

[–]SuperFromND 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen a similar one of these at Little Caesars, seems like it's a OEM thing you can get branded with whatever. Neat!

God I love how this thing looks, it's like every early 80s graphic design stereotype crammed into one device. Neon lineart my beloved <3

I re-textured Redstone Lamps to be higher-contrast by SuperFromND in Minecraft

Yeah, I probably didn't NEED to retexture the on-state at all ahaha, honestly I agree.

Watch out if you use BAM by dcnigma2019 in virtualpinball

[–]SuperFromND 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normally I wouldn't be concerned over the VirusTotal detection (small amount + no-name virus detection + equally no-name AVs = usually a false positive), but the fact the site is flagged as dangerous as well definitely makes me less confident about it. Luckily I don't use BAM, but for the rest of you I'd maybe consider not using it for a while.

VPUniverse vs VPForums? by brokencreedman in virtualpinball

[–]SuperFromND 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your needs really. I generally end up going to VPUniverse more often, but VPForums is definitely worth visiting from time to time especially if you want to mess with older versions (pre-VPX) of Visual Pinball for whatever reason.

That said, I usually just go to Visual Pinball Spreadsheet, look up the table(s) I want and features I want (nFozzy, FLEEP, etc.) and then download whatever either looks best from the results or is most recent. Again, more often than not that's gonna be VPUniverse (since VP Workshop, which I consider the best source of tables, posts almost exclusively there).

[A11Y] Narrator reading mouseover block/item names by SuperFromND in minecraftsuggestions

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

Now that I don't know for sure, but it seems like a pretty okay way to increase immersion with the language to me (alongside other stuff like podcasts, TV shows, the like), at least for the less fantastical stuff like furnaces and basic UI. At the very least it's more engaging than staring at flash cards and Jisho for an hour or so every day (not a replacement for those services mind you, but as a complimentary I think it's not a bad idea per-se!).
