its through unreal engine and then fed to an outside library
mild gust
Then re-mapping for n64
outer belfry
well its not being emulated its just a native dll file
so no emulators needed
its based off the mario 64 decompilation i didnt make the library i just ported it to unreal engine
outer belfry
ocarina of time has a full decompilation you would just need to make that into a library
that'd require reverse engineering starcraft itself
mild gust
Fair
outer belfry
these decompilation projects take years of time to make for teams
which ends with being able to compile an exe of the game for windows/any other platform
mild gust
Not worth learning for one person

or a dll in this case
reverse engineering is really satisfying but no one is decompiling an entire game by themselves

because people are afraid of not voting for the big 2 in the way that their vote won't matter

The tablet doesn't support HDR. So, HDR turns off and thus, MSI's app can't manage the colours on the Optix.

Okay, all that is well and good. Time to doodle a bad comic strip. 😄
proud jay
cause we have flanders and wallonia, but people in flanders cannot vote for part...
so really to have a majority as one party is close to impossible cause let's say you're in flanders and you get 80% of the votes there, that's only counting for like half the country, I think it's weighted to 60 or something so you would still have less than half the votes federally
proud jay
cause we have flanders and wallonia, but people in flanders cannot vote for part...
and then we have the german part of course
proud jay
so really to have a majority as one party is close to impossible cause let's say...
we also have a constitutional balance between walloon and flemish ministers, so it's literally impossible, even if you had 100% of the votes on one side
also we use a method D'hondt of assigning seats which makes it even harder
so yeah we're never gonna have a single majority government

Thank you. I decided to join the Linktree mafia two days ago (if I recall correctly).

BUT, it would dilute the humour and people will forget panel 1 and 2, by the time 3 comes out.
It shouldn't be long though, maybe two days max before it's done.
The comics are basically my doodling while I get used to the new drawing tablet - #hardware message - see pics here.
I'd say so, but it's really cheap for what it offers. Gaomon has also almost perfected the cursor calibration, so your nib draws where you press it.
I believe so. CoPilot told me I could.
I hope it finds a place in my game projects' workflow.

Sneaks around and takes everyone else's food after its already had it's own, constantly tries to sneak up on and attack everyone else

Hes a big reason as to why my cats stopped hanging out on my porch.
I dont trust those kinds of places
I'd rather have an asshole that's alive than one that's dead
I think a year or so ago a "no kill" shelter got shutdown and shit because they was actually killing animals
I'll take dogs there tho, dogs suck
Snakes make better pets than a dog
Still pretty weird that I havent seen a snake too
Used to see them quite often
Because people suck at controlling their dogs or even raising them
And the only dogs that do get raised properly are by people who only let them walk around if they give them the command to
And that's no way to let an animal live. It's not a puppet
Just raise it and keep control over it, not its every move, just well behaved.
Like the dogs that get raised to protect farm animals. Those are some genuine fine dogs
Hes a paid actor

In all seriousness, I think most prominent inventors and scientists have little by way of patriotism. Not that they don't love their countries, but what they do they usually do for the sake of humanity as a whole.

No fucking wonder my mature cat is nursing and grooming the daughters litter as well. Her kittens have been meowing for food and trying to nurse off her for the past 30 minutes. My mature cat just got off my lap and went over there and laid down for them right in front of their own mother
Not a single strand of maternal instinct in her at all, I'm honestly surprised the babies even lived this long with a parent refusing to nurture
As I typed that she finally laid down and started nursing one
