raocow's talkhaus

[...]and the raw image produced by GBA emulators without any sort of colour correction is likely not how the developers intended for the game to look. [...]And I do agree, a brightness setting in-game would alleviate some of the issues. This is most likely the case, but at the same time, neither is...

I'd disagree, since that's how the game is supposed to look, but that's just me. The lack of a backlight was, if anything, a cost cutting measure, and not a design decision. Plus, "the way it's supposed to look" would've depended a whole lot on how much light was in the room you were in- ...

I really hope raocow does away with the color correction. Emulating the original non-existant backlight on the GBA I don't think is the greatest choice lol

I believe the smallest items despawn as you grow to points where they wouldn't be useful, so the total number of objects is kept in a manageable state That would seem like a reasonable thing to do, although there's probably more optimization with how they're scattered all around and loaded, I'd ima...

Having made that 3D Demo Damacy model got me thinking about the way the PS2 handled this game. Like, the models have always been pretty low-poly, but it's still a lot of models to process. Would be nice to get a look into how they achieved that, but I don't think there's much info on that kind of st...

Glad you liked it

If i'm getting this right, the crux for this whole convo is the harassment of creators for levels that raocow/individual players might've had a negative reaction to. And i'm pretty sure that we can all agree that that's a shitty thing to do. Now, I don't think raocow outwardly saying "Don't do ...

I had to make something for this LP, so I did.

Chaos canonically speak french now.

The only true way to play this game is with the Steel Batallion controller.

Also, expecting this game to out-raocow raocow.

Obviously, the endgoal for the Half-Life series is to defeat the G-Man and whoever he's working for, and take control of one's destiny. Basically, Half-Life would turn into Gurren Lagann.

And please don't do all the endings for Shadow. Please.

Just a heads up, raocow. On the latest Sonic video, you linked to the VLDCX thread.

Also, proud of not one more leveling.

I feel like the Vorts would fit quite alright in this thread.

raocow went full daffy duck in the end.

"Bae" seems very much like a millenial thing so say. I say, as a gen Zer, although being in this forum kinda makes you 10 years older by default, so I'm not sure I still count. Also, the fact that this level is named "Pumpkin Hill" and not "Jack o' Lantern Hill" must me...

Wow, that guy even claims he's the only reason raocow can "make sense of the game". I can't tell if that's funny or just sad... He also called himself a literal genius in the comments, so I imagine he's just trolling. I wasn't really paying attention to YT comments, but is this where Viks...

Sure, I'd imagine him being able to use a gun, maybe some kind of rifle, but uh, homing rocket launchers and alien weapons are kinda a whole different thing.

raocow has on multiple occasions had episodes number in the halves, and even episode zeros. Like, I wouldn't be surprised if we get imaginary number episodes next.

raocow was surprised at how good of a shot Alyx was, when in the game you're playing as some nerd who was working at science, and is able to use a whole array of weapons for some reason.

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you

Really wasn't expecting that video description.

And like, Gordon is not this unstoppable force. The only reason the guy hasn't died multiple times is because of outside involvement. The player understands this, dying many times throughout the game. Gordon is just a human railroaded into victory, not some being above it all.

Obscure deeplore facts: The name "Xen" and the orange Xenium crystals first appeared not in Half-Life, but in "The Third Force", a novel written by Half-Life writer Marc Laidlaw and part of the expanded universe of the Japanese video game "Gadget" by Haruhiko Shono. La...
