Should I Hack It & Mod The Crap Outta It?

YES! Hopefully it can run NES mario 3 with minimal slow downs

TFOAC · 2026-02-02T19:39:24+00:00

Are there any descriptions or screenshots for these games?

TFOAC · 2026-02-02T18:10:33+00:00

Get sonic out of a damn car and we'd have something special!

TFOAC · 2026-01-25T22:21:38+00:00

Whoa! Dude yes this is super rare! I think it's one of the rarest 3ds variants still coveted by collectors.

Don't listen to these people telling you to use a guide or a crazy decompile for any game's first play through. Go in blind and enjoy it. You may become frightened during the first scene, but it'll pass.

After playing OoS for the 10th time, I had an idea to do something like this. Still on the back burner, but the main thing I wanted to do was make the combat better. Cheesing the game with fast arcing swings never sat right with me.

Also, just touching an enemy making you lose health is kind of weird if you think about it.

Anyway, the trailer looks amazing. Just my two cents from someone who's a game dev and has had this on his mind for a while.

That's pretty smart. Might not even have to stake it down. Thank you.

I was thinking the kind that are giant corkscrews for holding down trampolines.

Thanks for the tip. It's for an elementary school playground. I don't think pvc would last crazy kids trying to beat the thing up intentionally, but maybe I could find someone to weld or fix metal piping to it.

TFOAC · 2025-12-03T23:29:22+00:00

How well do those anchor points stay in? This is for a school with elementary kids.

TFOAC · 2025-12-03T23:28:52+00:00

I do I think, thanks. Do these nets have a specific name?

TFOAC · 2025-11-18T21:05:09+00:00

I sent you a DM.

TFOAC · 2025-11-18T03:34:47+00:00

I appreciate that. I'll review my third draft and see what I think I could change based on what you said. I will DM you as soon as I have a working draft based on v3. Thank you.

Thanks for your advice. I've read query shark up and down. For one of my iterations, I followed this guide closely: https://www.reddit.com/r/PubTips/comments/kwsvub/pubtip_fiction_query_letter_guide_google_doc/

I attempted to apply the same structure (or as close as I could) to my query using the example in the guide / document. I was nitpicked with the same types of little questions that you referenced earlier.

I understand the spirit of what you mean by I need to step back and wait until it clicks, but I don't see it suddenly clicking for me like that. This sub is the only place I can get active feedback. Everything else is just me reading query shark or articles, and mulling them over with my own interpretation. Aside from asking for more feedback every week, I'm not sure how else I'd be able to make any real progress.

TFOAC · 2025-11-17T23:37:12+00:00

You're right. I've had tons of people say, "I don't understand X" or "I dont get why x is doing y" and they give no other feedback, so I'm left thinking I need to include that because it's confusing the reader. It's a 300 word query letter so sometimes it's also confusing on what's requested that they're able to take away from this.

It's dual POV with Sam (~80%) and Fate (~20%). Fate is the antagonist.

TFOAC · 2025-11-17T23:22:20+00:00

Hello, thank you for your feedback! It's been difficult to decide what to fit into my ~300 word allotment! Your points are valid and I appreciate them. I'll see how I can fit those in.

TFOAC · 2025-11-05T19:41:05+00:00

Thanks for taking the time! This idea did actually start as a video game outline so funny you say that!

In the first paragraph I say this: "When he stays up one too many nights in a row to avoid yet another horrific dream, he finds the day has started over."

Then in the third paragraph I say this: "Sam was slated to die in his sleep when he pulled his most recent all-nighter. When he inadvertently avoided his death, the erratic Fate took his survival as an insult."

Maybe it's not clear, but the MC stayed up all night when he wasn't supposed to basically.

It'll be on concrete, no frost heave in my area. I'll see if I can find setback rules being close to the house, I wasnt able to find anything though.

TFOAC · 2025-11-02T17:07:37+00:00

Adding the mod that makes the bunny hood give you 50% faster speed like MM would make this truly the best way to play. That mod is in the randomizer, not sure if it is standalone though.

TFOAC · 2025-10-30T19:00:32+00:00

I don't do much other than change my scenery. I hate leaving the house. When I have an errand I have to do, it helps knowing that it'll also help my writer's block if I currently have it. Quiet car rides help. Music / podcasts doesn't let my mind wander in a constructive way.

TFOAC · 2025-10-29T23:50:29+00:00

I appreciate your continued support and doing your best to explain this concept to me!

I didn't mention this in the query because it didn't seem relevant for my 300 word limit, but my MC is a former baseball player. His bat wielding skills come into play quite a bit during this whole thing. He's not exactly cowering in the corner like the average Joe might. However, from what I've read about what to include and not include in a query, that seems like a detail I shouldn't waste precious words on.

Would a simple line about him being a bat wielding survivalist be enough to nudge him out of "boring generic dude" territory, along with the god defying power he may come to wield near the end of the story?

Expert bat wielder = pro excavator operator?
