as some of you may know, i moonlight as a chef... an esports chef

yoshi's cookie is one of my favorite games, but one of the biggest barriers to entry for competitive play (aside from the fact that Nintendo refuses to rerelease it) is the inability to practice vs mode solo. if you want to bake good, you have to practice, and you can do that a lot easier if you disable the (usually) 20-second timer

in the NES version, there are two bytes in the RAM that handle the timers for each player (addresses 0540 and 0541 respectively) - if you lock the values, the timers can't tick! you can do this in most emulators, but here's how it looks in FCEUX's cheat menu:

if you want to practice with the timer on, you can also just disable P2's timer, so the idle player doesn't time out after 20 seconds!

don't ask me any other questions about how the NES works, i only ever learned enough about it to git gud at yoshi's cookie

sorry eggbug, you're gonna have to circle the airport again, i'm still waiting at bag claim.

i can only assume that the "download a backup of your blog" button is taking several days because the queue for it wraps around the block twice.

in other words, Tumblr's backup process is getting absolutely hammered.

i'm also kyatt7 on cohost, bluesky, and itch.io

reading that CEO Q&A has confirmed my notion that this site is the same desperate and hostile ballpit that i left in 2018.

don't consider this "goodbye" but rather "i deleted Tumblr from my bookmarks bar, so god willing, i'll forget to check this place soon enough"

see you on cohost maybe

a few of the eye/mouth combinations i added to the death model today

daniel garcia's new dance is one of the first things i animated in blender

week 1 of deathtober has been a triumph (model currently has 1125 triangles, don't know if that's a lot)

flat-shading the Death model really brought it to life (pun absolutely intended)

i started learning blender3d for 2 reasons:

i do want to make some 3d northern boys at some point, but in the meantime, i attached the dance to Death Magicaldrop

"i'm death magicaldrop, and this is the sonic adventure challenge"

💀 deathtober 3D 💀

this year, instead of drawing death 31 times, i'm learning blender3d and taking 31 WIP screenshots and GIFs while building up this low-poly model of Death Magicaldrop

here's the first one! only the skulls have faces so far...

halfway through my collection of street fighter 6 loading screen faces

i've been trying to keep the style consistent, but i feel like the sketches have gotten progressively bigger and less improvisational... if i finish these before the 20th character is released, i'll draw luke again to see how off-model i went
