Jentry Chau on Netflix is a fine show. It has some neat qualities like the art style and a way not to make dumb characters. Selfishly motivated but understandable. The plot has some flaws but nothing appallingly terrible. Could be easily fixed if there were a little bit more "filler" episodes to flesh out some characters as some parts feel a little bit more rushed. I only really dislike the needle-drop music and most of the soundtrack. Not my style.

Also Yagami (and Kaito’s) entries in the party database seem to genuinely stem from RGG just adding protagonists sequentially with each new game going back to Yakuza 6; Kiryu is 1, Majima is 2, Yagami is 3, Ichiban is 4, and his yakuza 7 party + Masumi Arakawa fills out the remainder before we suddenly start getting LJ side characters; seems the ones who follow you around worked internally like Y7’s party members even though most of them don’t ever join you in combat.

@scribus ironically perfectly in line with a recurring theme in his first game that he is not number one despite his name implying otherwise
-
>finally figure out how the game decides what songs play for which leader during battle in which cities
>edit those entries according to the files’ numerical values so that Kasuga has the correct battle theme in Kamurocho rather than reusing his Yokohama battle theme as happens in vanilla
>no music during battle in any of the three cities for any character

(and Seonhee of course - interestingly, again, Yagami has an entry that goes unused, as do Kaito and the Genda Law employees)

while digging in the files i fixed a weird and mildly infuriating inconsistency where Nanba's full name is never written anywhere, in the UI or otherwise. Turns out the reason for this is because RGG literally just didn't write it down in the party.bin file. Everyone else's full name is there except for Nanba.

...Lotta references to Yagami/his moveset in some of these files. ...hmmm

Haruka now replaces Chitose rather than Saeko for the simple reason of her default job skills make more sense. UI replacement is next.

Wrote a terminal program for creating playlists. It does the job but could be more streamlined and not yet ready to automatically create playlists for all albums. Right now I can specify a folder and grabs all its files and assembles them to a m3u playlist. To my dismay my mp3 player ignores the #EXTINF tag when listing the tracks. Instead it shows the whole path, which makes it harder to see the track name.

Due to my FiiO X1 MP3 player not being able to scan the whole SD-card to generate the music database I have to resort to manually creating playlists. I need it as the file structure of many folders has subfolders for each disc. The worst thing is that when I open the .m3u playlist generated by VLC the player only accepts the paths to the files only as absolute paths and there cannot be any "HTML"-coded strings like %20 for a space character. I guess I have to write my own little program to automate it a bit as all solutions I saw involved using a program and doing manual edits anyway.

Watched "Uncle from another world" and the last season of "Beastars" on Netflix. Honestly Uncle from another world was way more enjoyable than Beastars.

There was a Scooby Doo movie a few years back that included a lengthy scene where they intercut a conversation with computer generated shots of the Mystery Machine moving through traffic and that was kind of goofy but at least there was TRAFFIC

Like the background is a separate render composited behind the car anyway, you could put LITERALLY anything back there
Friday, 06-Dec-24 05:21:05 UTC from web -
it always bugs me in animated shows when car scenes involve two characters talking to each other for a minute or more with no stops, no traffic, barely a passing car, just moving in a straight line while the CGI equivalent of a Flintstones background passes behind them. Add an intersection somewhere. Goddamn.

A shocking amount of it works out of the box by simply unlocking the party leader slot

-Saeko, and presumably most other characters, have their own dialogue box walla! When speaking to other characters she has sound bites she’ll pull out (“Hey,” “Mhmm?” “I see,” etc). That will make things much easier down the line as I don’t have to edit Kasuga’s.

-She is mute in most other minigames except Can Quest, where Kiryu’s dialogue is still used even if playing as Ichiban. Very, very weird.
-She… grows when you try to open a locked door??? The animation itself seems to change your scaling factor. It isn’t noticeable as Kiryu/Ichiban as they’re roughly the same height within a few centimeters, but Haruka is much shorter so it’s very obvious. She then shrinks when the animation is done. Very very weird.
-Sprint speed seems to scale to your height. This is Very Bad.Wednesday, 04-Dec-24 18:41:55 UTC from web -
Weird factoids about playable Haruka:
-she is capable of doing all of Kiryu’s minigames although because she is much shorter some of her animations are a bit weird, IE she doesn’t reach the handlebars in Can Quest. Not sure how easy the fix for those things is because although I COULD tweak the animations, they’re meant to be universal so switching the party leader to anyone else breaks the animations for them.
-she CANNOT play most of Kasuga’s minigames, he takes over for those. Likely has something to do with the game switching to his cutscene model or something like that, I haven’t looked too deep into it yet.Wednesday, 04-Dec-24 18:37:35 UTC from web-
-she CAN however go to Dondoko Island. The only issue I’ve found there is that she has no voice lines for greeting villagers, although she does not reuse Kasuga’s like I thought she would; she simply doesn’t say anything at all, opting to wave instead. That’s interesting as hell. Pulling audio from other Rie Kugimiya/Xanthe Hyunh projects probably fixes this.
-When taking selfies she either starts speaking in Kiryu’s voice (when in Japan) or Kasuga’s (in Hawaii). Not sure if this is fixable.

I'd like to extract the 3d models of Nancy and Olivia so I can 3d print them and display them. Of course I'd have to paint them too.

The HDMI to VGA adapter I ordered DOES NOT WORK. UUUUGH. Reading reviews for all the adapters doesn't fill me with confidence. Most of them seem have to have a high likelihood not work either.
