Re: Random Thoughts
I just woke up from a dumb dream featuring a "cursed" Mario Romhack (or at least a creepy pasta hack). Every 13 or so deaths the game would cut to a weird 'prison' scene (used a mix of castle and ghost House assets with some kind of full moon/spotlight effect over the middle); Mario would be 'sitting' (sliding frame of animation) in the corner, next to chains and bones, with his eyes hidden, and a sequence of horribly off-key notes would play. Every time this scene came back, the sequence of notes would get longer and more distorted and the contrast between the dark prison and the light would get greater. It was remarkably unsettling, and I ended up turning off the small CRT tv I was playing it on when it happened a third time and walking away, but it left me perturbed nonetheless.
The game also had weird "aerial midpoints" which were angled and you had to cape fly around in a circle to activate - the secret exit wouldn't unlock without doing this with all of them in the stage.

Re: Random Thoughts
I pulled apart my DSi again cause i saw someone online suggest you could fix the shoulder buttons by dunking the entire shoulder button switch in a bath of rubbing alcohol and then clicking it a bunch to clean out whatever is blocking contact, I guess. After all this I seem to have fixed the L button, but R is still inconsistent. I popped in a copy of Mega Man Starforce to test the shoulder buttons and after running around for a second in the overworld, I noticed that it's also kinda hard to run at diagonals, and I'm trying to figure out if the DSi's D-pad was just always like that or if mine is just old. Kinda feels like this whole thing might be a project not worth the time when I have a DS lite that works fine.
edit: actually after booting it up again, both buttons seem to be much more consistent now. D-pad still feels a little weird though. Maybe that needs cleaning too?

That actually sounds really cool, I'd like to see some of that implemented in a real hack.BobisOnlyBob wrote: ↑4 years ago I just woke up from a dumb dream featuring a "cursed" Mario Romhack (or at least a creepy pasta hack).

Re: talkhaus thoughts
Finally closed up The Mosts section. It's now in the archive. I'll keep the announcement deal up for another week in case people want easy access to look at the results, userbars, and all that.

Re: talkhaus thoughts
I literally just took my two favourite ones this year because I happened to host the thread for one and helped propagate the other
Re: talkhaus thoughts
To be fair, I turned off showing anyone's signatures ages ago. I'll still put whatever wins in my own, but I never have it show up on my end. Don't know if mine even shows for you all at this point or if I also made that stay blank.
Re: talkhaus thinking
I went ahead and posted the actual tally sheet, or at least a copy of it. Apologies for not getting around to it until now, after it's already been closed, but there ya go
FWIW, I'll vote you a bunch this year, Ashan <3

Re: talkhaus thoughts
Because I was the first to vote for what would eventually win "Best Fanon", and "Best Butt"; I pretty much consider those to be victories for me no matter how far stretched.
