my remaining 2024 hype list is like:
(expensive) black myth wukong, star wars outlaws if it doesn’t slip and it’s actually good (two big ifs), erdtree, FF7R2 PC port
(inexpensive) UFO 50, price of flight, qud 1.0
and that list was kind of missing an anchor baby like this one until now so I am susceptible

also I read a review that was like “you should make your pawns more attractive so people want to borrow them and level them up more often” which really clarified the vibe I wanted for a new game, I’m going to make some vegas residency background singers to offset the craggy ersatz englishmen

also lol that the only non human race is khajit
that’s very funny cost cutting, like, “we think they’ll miss the cat people but probably everything else is good to ditch”

Borrowed pawns leveling up would be a new thing, wouldn’t it? I seem to remember that in the first game a borrowed pawn was frozen at the hiring level and if you wanted the latest version you had to release and re-hire them.
And the only thing your own could come back with is different clothes if the borrower dressed them up.

They did it. They finally made a modern PS3 game.

your pawn can get bestiary knowledge and given gifts from whoever grabbed it but i think the level stays the same so you have to continually go back into the rift to either find new pawns or refresh the ones you have? i think?

this is definitely going to be one of those ‘largely cpu bound, but also only runs on 2 cores for some reason’ kind of games

tl;dw:
each switch cart has a unique certificate
dumper lets you copy that certificate for use on the fpga flash cart
nintendo have not said whether they’ll ban for duplicate certificates or certificates that don’t match the cart
used games might have their certs dumped
new games might be repro carts
seems like a kind of iffy value next to the picofly to me? but what a mess

congrats to half of the forum for being (basically) correct:
The author has admitted that he used then non-public tools to TAS the level back in 2017.

Transcript
TTH was made to be unreasonably difficult and to cause a ruckus. I put effort into promoting it in 2017 so that it could be played, dissected, and scrutinized. Once that would happen I would announce that TAS existed for SMM. I did not expect that it would go unnoticed or perceived as easy from watching the video, or that it would take nearly seven years to be uncovered. The sunk cost fallacy of wanting to follow through with the failed troll, combined with new IRL responsibilities, allowed the nonsense to continue. I knew about Team 0% so I let things be until they would uncover it. I delayed uploading bombs5 until the uploads shut down because bombs5 is also illegitimate. I deserve no credit for either, and will not deny Team 0% their victory.
From attempting to upload bombs5 I developed tendon issues in my thumb. After some breaks and noticing they weren’t healing properly, it became unrealistic to continue. Once I accepted this, I felt a sense of relief.
Someone had messaged me about a TAS they were working on for the Wii U. In a video they sent, it seemed to me like they had it working, but they told me they were abandoning the project. The TAS was replicated by my friend after two days of building.
Because I had already resigned to leave streaming and pursue other things, and suddenly had a working TAS, I thought that the bomb guy should go out with a bang, so TTH was constructed. The PogChamp contest was made because I wanted there to be a venue for kaizo enthusiasts to gather. The judges were doing a live viewing of the contest levels, and I let them know that I (intentionally) broke the timer rules and that after showcasing TTH, they should disqualify me.
The past week, when the time bomb finally blew up, things escalated quickly, and the community was divided, which was not my intention. I’m sorry for the drama it caused within the community, and I regret the ordeal, but at least it was interesting. However in the end the truth matters most. Congratulations to Team 0% for their well-earned achievement! SMM is cleared, and The Last Dance was the last level!
I find this result to be slightly disappointing, but also incredibly amusing (is there a German word for that?).
Still hoping someone tries clearing the level regardless.
