Ain't no way I get recommended a clip of my own mod and see it has 1 Million views. That's actually insane. Especially for a 3am shitpost I made with way loss modding knowledge than I have now. I've got something to brag about at the christmas dinner table now lmao. youtu.be/vqWp7_TLmaQ?...

Just beat HL2:Ep2 and nowadays if I find a game and it's engine interesting I try and learn the basics of modding. Messing around with fixing up textures and adding lights/props around the intro trainstation rn. Just a pet project atm but if everything doesn't explode maybe I'll add it to workshop.

Started playing #elderscrolls #morrowind for the first time. This is probably a well known gag but I escorted a random guy on the road to a town 10 mins away with the promise of "Boots of Blinding Speed" only for the boots to cause 200% speed and 100% blindness. Fucking amazing.

#IndianaJones game is pretty great imo, even if I'm not a fan of "movie games" like Uncharted or TLOU. The recreation opening really got me hyped. I'd love to see more old movie recreations as tech demos with explorable sets. They'd make for amazing bonus features. youtu.be/BGTJq32ooxM?...

- Project Light Souls - #darksouls The color of bosses in DSR are often super washed out. The harsh contrasty overexposed coloration is integral to DS1's style imo. Here's some comparisons of early bosses, DSR OGs being the lighter ones.

Got an Xbox set up and disc copies of DS1 and DS2 running their 1.0 versions so I can compare them to PC and in the case of DS1 have a direct comparison for modding. Nostalgia really did blind me to how bad performance was on the 360 but visually I'm already seeing some improvements over DSR.

- Project Light Souls - #darksouls Testing putting Oolacile areas back into Darkroot as part of the inaccessible vista. So far looks very nice with Artorias's arena. Restored PTDE lighting also makes the fog hide the fact I had to the generic brick texture over it all lmao.

- Project Light Souls - #darksouls Quelaag's concept art design is pretty neat. It'd be crazyyyy if someone made their own version and put it in the game. Just a random thought.

So since I now have a DS1 OST disc I ripped it to flac and got curious if there was any difference to the in-game quality. Used Foobar ABX Comparator with Firelink theme and got 3/4 right blind identifying which version was which. I think there's a tiny difference but not worth implementing in-game.

Lot has happened today. Found a DS1 Limited Edition copy for cheap, talked to the owner of the store for ages, he offered to hire me for repairs which I very well might take him up on. Bad news is some stuff of mine got stolen lmao but honestly that's expected around here. I'm safe and chillin.

- Project Light Souls - As much as the big content addons are cool I also want to fix a lot of the weird edge case bugs in the game. Very grateful for @illusorywall.bsky.social's content as they continue to be a great resource for soulsborne mechanic explanations while keeping it entertaining.

- Project Light Souls - Been busy fixing a lot of minor background stuff in the last few days but Life Gems from peak, I mean, Dark Souls 2, are now in the game. It's the weakest of all the healing item ports I've done but it gets the participation award.

Just found out supermarkets call gingerbread men "gingerbread people" now. Honestly? Good. I get a devious craving for christmas snacks and I will not discriminate. Tell me where the gingerbread folk are at and I'll descend like Attack on Titan.

#ImmerScreen Loved the payoff of seeing Ceci struggle with melee after always playing mage builds and finally seeing the raw power of BONK

- Project Light Souls - Changed the lighting in Firelink to be sort of a half step between PTDE and Remastered. Also starting the process of going through the map and trying to make each little encounter more memorable while still keeping true to the original look and combat flow.

- Project Light Souls - Version 2.1 is now released with the finalized Fluted Set and some other cool stuff. With this update I've also added a github page. It means I can add features asap instead of in bulk releases but I'll keep doing that on nexus too. github.com/SM451Modding...

0 Celsius and below right now. I've got a bad blood circulation syndrome and my boiler chooses right now to crap out on me. Listening to that "rain down on me" part of Paranoid Android rn. "It is what it is" levels are at critical.

Just beat Half-Life 2 for the first time. Didn't love the gameplay as the last third gave me major combat fatigue. Everything else is top notch even today: Art Direction, Character Animation, Graphical Shaders, World Design, etc I love it as a piece of art and history, not really as a game.

- Project Light Souls - #darksouls Retooling the Kiln by removing the black knights and just having it be a somber walk to Gwyn with echos of fallen bosses looking down on you. Also retimed Gwyn's theme to have an intro leading into plin plin plon.

- Project Light Souls - A very minor thing I want to do once I start doing map changes to the rest of the game is making bonfires fit into their scenery better. Just a few bits of debris surrounding them to make them more than just mounds of ash somehow rising out the ground.

Had an electrician at my place yesterday. He said "Do me a favor, go back in time and punch the guy who originally installed these" and that's an energy I wholeheartedly vibe with. Top bloke. Justified too as we found an overhead light was never screwed in just held there with a mound of adhesive.

- Project Light Souls - #darksouls Ok so the Fluted Set I teased was actually very incomplete. I only realized until after posting it suffered from small vertex explosions from improper weight painting and the whole thing needed new specular texture maps. Here's a clip of all cleaned up!

Say what you want about Doomsday Clock but I love this interaction. Pretty much the process every time you recommend peak fiction to a friend but they have school or a job so they can't binge watch it in one day like you did. #watchmen #batman #dccomics #comics

#Holocure is the absolute pinnacle of fangames, everyone involved in it's making deserves kudos for such an achievement. That being said I also want every dev who worked on the Tower of Suffering to know that when they next stub their toe real hard I cosmically manifested that. Screw that game mode

Need to be clear that if I use the Cybertruck in #Fortnite it's to draw people out of camping because I know they can't resist shooting it and not because I like the product lmao.

4 hours of absolute goofery falling for every trap in the early game and creating some new ones of her own then saying this is the character development you love to see. Incredibly based kirin. #CeresFauna #vtuber #HololiveEN
