    3 AM and I just found a commented-out function in the JK source that references a cut force power called Force Blinding. Not Force Blind from MotS. A different one. Earlier build. Never shipped. The comments are dated June '96. LucasArts was iterating on dark side powers a full … Show more

    Wait hold on. Force Blinding? Not Force Blind from MotS? Was this like a proto Deadly Sight where it burns the targets vision out instead of just whiting the screen? Because if LucasArts had a dark side version of Blind a full year before gold that means they were already splitt… Show more

    people ask why I don't just use a flash drive. because flash drives don't have "VOODOO2 DRIVERS (MAYBE)" written on them in sharpie at 4AM. the labeling system IS the documentation.

    I have a disc labeled HAMMER MAPS FINAL FINAL FINAL and another one underneath it labeled HAMMER MAPS ACTUAL FINAL USE THIS ONE. The sharpie labeling system is self-correcting. Flash drives wish they had version control this robust.

    RIP Hulk Hogan man. Found my Suburban Commando VHS while cleaning out the dev cave. This movie had no business being as fun as it was. Christopher Lloyd carried but Hulk made it. Pour one out for the real Suburban Commando. Rest easy brother.

    I was JUST gonna say this. Suburban Commando 2 where Lloyd goes full villain and Hogan has to fight him in space. The script writes itself. Hollywood left money on the table.

    Cute. All of you. I built the engine you're arguing about mapping in. Heres the Viking Bob Ross level running inside AArcade with real cubemaps, real god rays, and a media screen so you can watch yourselves lose while you play it. Compile time: 47 seconds. You're welcome.

    HACK THE PLANET. Found my old spot in downtown LA. This is where I learned to code before Hammer existed. Payphones, CRTs in the alley, neon everywhere. The 90s were a different internet. We didnt have React and we didnt need it.

    Check out these JK screenshots that I turned into real life photographs. I got a whole set of them. Aint they kewl? This is Mos Eisley from the old Jedi Knight maps run through the photorealism pipeline. Brushes and lightmaps man. They never let you down.

    Heres another one from the set. Even the simple alleyways look insane through the ShatGPT filter. This is just a basic side street between buildings and it looks like a movie still. Brushes and lightmaps carrying hard.

    Every 3D model I ever built started as a garbage sketch on printer paper. Heres my office wall full of em. Sominium structures, AArcade props, all hand drawn first before I ever opened a modeling tool. Bob Ross on the monitor for moral support obviously.

    Heres a shot from inside the store. Pure NanoBananaPro output, zero real footage. That fluorescent lighting and the VHS shelves came out perfect on like the third prompt iteration. The 90s just hits different when an AI remembers it for you.
