Also this is your classic "higher up purposefully puts dumb guy who's going to fail in charge so the thing fails", but it does not make sense how him failing in the case benefits the boss at all? It's not like he wants rid of him, we fucking bus him in. It's not like "ooh, actually, we can swoop in and take the credit now that he's succeeded" because he doesn't fucking achieve anything.

Do not watch this. Hamburger.

At one point we need Steve Martin to have a win, so we introduce this James Bond character who does an epic action moment and makes it look like Steve Martin did it - which you'd think would be setting something up for later in the movie - but this James Bond guy is never even mentioned again.

This is also a PG movie that has a scene where the protagonist goes to take viagra in preparation to have sex. PG movie. What.

Plot is insultingly bare-bones. We have literally one single suspect (outside of the one intended to be the incorrect one), and surprise surprise, it's them. The titular ring is barely ever mentioned. You'd think a movie called The MacGuffin would center on The MacGuffin, but no, it's solely a murder mystery. The ring does not factor into anything at any point.

🎬️ watched The Pink Panther (2006)

This thing fucking sucks, but it does have one or two good jokes hidden in there. I think I saw this as a kid? I genuinely have no memory of anything outside of maybe the intro where Jason Statham is in the film for 2 seconds and has no lines?

Almost all of the jokes themselves in isolation are actually fine, but it's joke-a-minute style jokes that are stretched out as long as gratingly possible, and it just burns all the humour away. Naked Gun this is not.

🚀 added a new outer space background theme 👽

working on another world background

#y2roll

i'm not a deftones guy, but it's gonna happen at some point, like i'm just fighting the inevitable here

today's level:
BOULDERIN'

#y2roll #GodotEngine #gamedev #n64

Added support for loading Custom Levels

These are built externally in Blender, using the exact same scripts I use to make official levels, and then placed in a custom levels folder.

Also added the ability to adjust the level preview zoom using the triggers.

Some extra Campaign menu things

Right stick rotates the level previews, and exiting will keep the background and lighting of that world for the rest of the menus

working on press kits today

some recent menu icon renders I made for #Y2ROLL

(sans colour depth, I do that with ImageMagick)

Characterisation is completely off. She's meant to be this avoidant loner type, but it's just regular-ass completely normal Sandra Bullock.

Hard avoid. It's not unwatchable, or anything, but there's really nothing of note here. Apparently Bullock die hards like this, though? Just one of those mysteries of life, I guess.

So what it actually is is a "there's a conspiracy where my identity has been erased and I'm framed for something I didn't do" movie, which - while it has computer-y backgrounds - does not involve computers in the moment to moment. You need people to be on computers in your computers movie. Perhaps while One Love by The Prodigy plays.

🎬️ watched The Net (1995)

Absolute scam movie. It's presented as if it's Hackers (1995) with Sandra Bullock, but all the computer stuff boils down to "what if there was an icon in the bottom right of a program and if you right clicked it it showed you govonment secrats!!!!" and like one time where she types /whois in IRC.

@natpbs it's a good shout, but i've had issues in the past trying to set up TOTP outside of phone apps (something to do with time not being perfectly in sync), which combined with me not needing to push builds that frequently, means even if it works it's probably not worth the time & extra moving parts to set up

Added Campaign mode

This mode focuses on individual level mastery and optimisation, without the stress of running out of lives.

Additional worlds can be unlocked by clearing a minimum amount of levels - like those bird man games.

steam's cli app (that you need to use for uploading builds) is driving me mad trying to get a decent workflow for

you can supply a username as an arg, and then it'll interactively prompt for a password, then an authenticator response (phone popup you can press)

but you can't supply a username and a password as args and have the auth response, no - you HAVE to supply an OTP as an arg if supplying a pass as an arg

got the steam build pipeline for #Y2ROLL working today

feels very surreal seeing your own game like this

this post was prompted by writing steam build files, which use VDF - actually very close to s-expressions, but...
