I’m working with a well-known brand sponsor for upcoming Mattimation cartoons and they want to know if I will happen to be in Dubai next week for a face to face. I, uh, will not, and unless I find myself with unfathomable wealth in the next five years, you can probably count on me not ever “happening” to be in Dubai.

Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness remastered gets a thumbs up from me! It's not much of a remaster, it's up to par with the other remasters Aspyr did... which the original AOD pretty much already was to begin with, so aside from Lara, Kurtis, and some of the other important NPCs having new models and the environments receiving texture upgrades, it's not much to write home about visually. The various quality of life fixes, bug fixes, the new control scheme, the addition of a store to purchase ammo and weapon upgrades from early on, etc. all make it worth playing IMO, although it is still a flawed experience - you can only fix the stuff that's broken, not the stuff that's missing.

Pirate Yakuza is pretty fun but without modding the enemy's health values it's difficult to get a real feel for the combat because Majima is already half upgraded when you start the demo and kills guys in like a single combo. Increasing it three times makes it a lot more enjoyable.

Matt

Been home sick the last couple of days so I guess it’s apt that Pirate Yakuza’s demo is out today.

Persona 5 is the longest video game in the world Jesus Christ

kids should be subjected to SomethingAwful from a young age again, we as a society would be much better off

“Not again” -Haruka Sawamura 2023

Matt

running around Ijincho as Haruka feels very satisfying now that I got the physics on her ponytail working properly. then I got hit by a car and for some reason this was very funny to me

Matt

the dance battle intros in Yakuza 5 are all technically heat actions internally, so you can kind of just swap them out for whatever if you so desire

Matt

There are probably like a hundred massage places IN Denver that can get by without advertising on the internet of yesteryear.

I sure do love living underneath a busy flight lane in 2025 http://rainbowdash.net/url/876694

Also every Dragon Engine game is capable of importing anims from every other DE game except Virtua Fighter 5 (for somewhat obvious reasons) and Gaiden. Even Infinite Wealth, from which Gaiden’s engine was forked, can’t open Gaiden animations, you have to use a tool to convert it first.

Matt

Dragon Engine is crazy. Game refuses to boot if a texture is missing but lose track of a tops model and the game boots fine and lets you walk around as a disembodied head.

Matt

Virtua Fighter 5 REVO is seemingly a modded copy of Yakuza: Like A Dragon that is hardcoded to load you straight into the VF5 minigame… which means I can’t easily extract any of the animations to use for my mod. Everything in the motion archive is battle animations from YLAD, with most of the actual VF5 files being stored in a separate archive and using a different format that none of the available tools can open.

Matt

Ten pounds for permission to enter the UK? But I'm trying to lose weight!!!

Matt

Ha ha ha what kind of unlucky asshole gets COVID and the flu at the same time am I right

Matt

i forgot to go to magfest this year can we redo

Matt

Let’s say I have five million dollars, cash. Do I a) move into a house on stilts in the most expensive state in the country and declare bankruptcy in a year after being unable to pay property taxes, or b) just buy a bigger house in the DC suburb I already currently live in for one million and then still have four million to play with

Matt

the first move's hitbox is a little wonky as well but that is an easier fix

Ported some of Haruka's moves to Lost Judgment just to see if they would even work outside of the controlled environment of a turn based RPG. Results were mixed. The custom basic attack I made works surprisingly well as a Light-Heavy-Heavy combo, but the first heavy juggles which causes the second heavy to miss half the time unless you're timing it exactly right. The solution to that is to make the first heavy not juggle but that seems not as fun.

Matt

I… I think I have a sugar granny now

Matt

The number of helicopters landing at and taking off from IAD was shockingly little

Matt

Oh BOY I sure can’t wait to get customers complaining all afternoon about how many helicopters there are in the sky

Matt

And for that matter how come every man has the suit armature but not every woman has the ponytail armature

Matt

Not even gonna bother checking her Gaiden model because that one is also just her Y6 model with a different outfit
