Anyways, here's your stats for the round:

Most votes: Sensei Garmadon vs Falcon - 1,416

Least votes: Kapauvs vs Rufus McCallister - 52

Closest call: Murtessa vs Clouse - 50-50

Playing Crash 4: It's About Time again and one thing that bugs me is the movement. Like I don't know any speed tech yet for this game because I'm just trying to play it casually. But it's fun especially since I'm used to Crash N.Sane Trilogy physics. But since I used to speedrun that game, I will input like slide+jump+spin combo's or other movement tech way too fast for Crash 4 to handle and I will just die or glitch out the game.

F-Zero 99 - 1 Year Anniversary and the Future

F-Zero 99 is the best thing that happened to Nintendo Switch Online.

I'm not gonna say it any other way, it's been a bit more than a year, and I have 153 hours. This game is top 2 of my most played games (just under Splatoon 3 which has 253 hours).

I was one of the people who was down for this idea since the moment Pyoro teased it and when Nintendo announced it in the September 2023 Nintendo Direct.

This game received 6 content updates since its debut, and most of them are major updates, and as of October 2024, the latest update was 1.5.0, with the addition of the Ace League, making it the first time that Nintendo has ever rereleased Satellaview content in any way, worldwide.

I gotta be honest here, this game keeps on giving, Nintendo Software Technology, the team behind this game, not Arika anymore, is doing a great job.

I'm gonna talk about how I felt about this game, but also a bit of an history of datamining, about the game's future, but spoiler: I don't think this game will die anytime soon.

Happy One Year Anniversary to F-Zero 99!

Oh, and, to everyone saying this game is pissing on F-Zero's legacy as I've definitely seen a few: Go f**k yourself.

Online Quality

To anyone who loves to mock the online quality of Nintendo, you cannot do it to this game, or even any of the games of the "99" series. If you have online problems, the problem is on your side. 100%.

Either your connection's terrible in which case I cannot do anything for you, but most of the problems that I had with the game, it was all solved with either a fix of my internet connection setup (cables, Wi-Fi setup, etc), or by rebooting the Switch system entirely, this is most likely what you need to do the most.

It's not entirely perfect of course, but for the entire year of its existence, I have legit no serious complaints to make to the game.

Datamining The Future

Now... let's go over what we originally datamined at first.

I'm not gonna go over what was clearly experimental content such as a 3D Mute City I map or other things like that.

Extra Modes

We found code and references to 2 modes that have yet to be added to the game since launch:

Arcade Mode It is believed to work similar to old arcade racing games, where you have a limited time, and you go through Time Gates (also datamined) to add more time to your counter to let you either finish the course, or run out of time and rank out.

Survival Mode We found some references to it for the schedule file, but also what is feeling like to be a circle plane. I speculate it to maybe work like a battle royale where the playable place reduces in size, but it's hard to fully understand how it works at this point in time.

I have no idea when these modes would be added, if ever, actually, it's still subject to interpretation.

Extra Courses

We also found references to 4 placeholder course files:

Sulfur Swamp

Volcania

Fungus Swamp

Forest

Three of them uses recolored Mute City I and a custom but clearly placeholder background. But the inclusion of Forest placeholder was definitely an odd one.

It was actually hard to say what it could have been, but Forest is actually the name of a course in BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 on Satellaview, and more to that, it's the name of a course that we never actually had recovered until the recent BS F-Zero Deluxe hack that used tons of tools in an attempt to reproduce them. We still don't have the original data yet, though. The bounty for that is still up, by the way.

I did definitely get my chances to suspect that maybe, NST was looking into Satellaview tracks, alongside brand new tracks, but maybe that Forest was just also a placeholder name.

But considering the inclusion of Ace League now, I doubt it is a coincidence. Especially when they bothered to have pretty creative names for the others, Forest just sticks out from the rest for being a pretty generic word, an argument that I had already used back then.

But I also noticed something odd, though, on this one I will DEFINITELY give an update if they ever fix this, but the Ace League's best machine ranks are not saved in the stats. This is odd, I don't know if it's a bug, or if it's actually voluntary... because IF it is, then I think the Ace League will change in the future to include the rest of the Satellaview tracks alongside a new Joker (?) League.

UPDATE from October 16th: F-Zero 99 1.5.1 update just released, and they did fix this so I was just doing copium. Not that I didn't expect it, it was a very shaky thing.

In one of the updates, before the inclusion of Secret Tracks, we had seen what was named Death Wind I Remix, which was the Death Wind I + White Land fusion. It's not unlikely that in the future, we will receive what would be called Remix tracks, for possibly entire leagues, but we might need to wait a while before we get those.

Incoming Event?

As NST is definitely aware of datamining attempts, they have been actually pretty busy scrubbing every unused files related to future content especially.

But then they missed a file in the latest 1.5.0 update that added Ace League:

It seems they are looking into doing a Mario VS Donkey Kong Festival Event in the future, including a Mini Mario League, and 4 Star Rivals called Mario, Mini Mario, Donkey Kong and Toad.

There's not much else to it, as it is just text. This text was not localized in most languages from English.

If I had to guess though, I don't rule out that this event might happen for the anniversary of the Mario VS Donkey Kong remake in February 2025. Mario VS Donkey Kong was also the baby of NST, ever since the first of the series on GBA, so it might just be meant to be a fun thing they wanted to do.

I would expect the Mini Mario League to contain either brand new or modified existing tracks to a newer style related to Mario VS Donkey Kong, new music, possibly new machines, and, definitely to me, new emotes to unlock. I expect that to be a limited time event like the others, though what you unlock will definitely stay to your workshop, like previous events, and possibly Training mode if there's indeed new courses to play that they care enough to let us play after the event.

I wouldn't be surprised if we have to collect Mini Marios or something like that, but either way, it seems NST is trying to be a little more daring to F-Zero 99 and possibly follow the footsteps of Tetris 99's themes.

Depending on the situation of the Ace League machine stats, I might have to update this post if I really somehow went too far with my suspicions. (UPDATE: Yes I went too far, they fixed the bug with 1.5.1.)

I do expect more updates related to Ace League for sure, as I do think we'll get Classic versions of the Ace League tracks, and possibly Mirror versions too.

...but oh my god though there's freaking Satellaview tracks in F-Zero 99 omg omg omg we just need the 5 left now

警察によりますと、5人は技能実習生として来日し、一部はベトナムで同郷同士で知り合ったほか、SNSで知り合った者もいるということです。

5人の中には、窃盗や不法滞在などで今回で４回目の逮捕になる者もいます。

不適切発言により市議会から辞職勧告を突き付けられたものの続投を表明している新潟県上越市の中川幹太市長について、市議会は9月2日に不信任決議案を採決することを決めました。 8月30日、開かれた上越市議会の議会運営委員会。 【上越市　滝沢一成 市議】 「しっかり議論して議会の明確��意志を示す。そのためにも、この9月議会の冒頭において不信任決議案を提出させていただいた次第」 中川幹太市長に対する不信任決議案が一部議員から提出され、9月2日に開会する市議会9月定例会の初日に採決されることが決まりました。 今年6月の議会答弁で「工場では高校卒業程度のレベルの人が働いている。頭のいい人だけが来るわけではない」などと不適切な発言をして批判を浴びた中川市長。 7月には不適切発言の責任を取り自ら提出した給与削減案は議会に否決され、逆に辞職勧告を突きつけられていました。 しかし、8月23日の定例会見で… 【上越市　中川幹太 市長】 「覚悟と決意を持って、引き続き、市長として職責を果たしていきたいと考えを固めたところでございます」 市長職の続投を表明していました。この続投表明に対し8月29日… 【市政立て直し緊急市民集会　丸山彰さん】 「間違いなく、それぞれ市長様、副市長様に渡していただきたい。よろしくお願いします」 市民団体が抗議。市長の辞職を求め、上越市に決議文を提出していました。 【市政立て直し緊急市民集会　丸山彰さん】 「もう一日でも早く辞職をお願いしたいということ、市政を建て直していただきたい」 ■9月定例会で“不信任決議案”採決へ NST新潟総合テレビ 市議会のみならず、市民からも辞職を求める声が上がる中、9月定例会の冒頭で不信任決議案を採決することに。 【上越市　滝沢一成 市議】 「我々は市長がお辞めになられることが今の市政の混乱を収める一番の方法だと思っている。可決を目指して、これからさらに運動します」 不信任決議案は議員の3分の2以上が採決に出席し、4分の3以上の賛成で可決。 可決されれば市長は10日以内に議会を解散できる一方、解散しない場合は失職することになります。 このまま中川市長に市政運営を委ねるのか、議会の判断は9月2日に下されます。

Things:

Work shower rescheduled to a week and a half earlier because the day it was originally going to be turned out to be a 'zoom from home' instead of 'zoom from your classrooms' like our admin said. Which like thank goodness. Winter institute virtually sucks anyway, and it sucks even more when we're required to be in building - though I might end up in building anyway just for the ability to get shit done.

My admin was only willing to give up 1 staff meeting date (and it's not even her fucking staff meeting, it's the one AP leads - she happily gave it up apparently) for the shower. So it's in 2 weeks.

My student teacher apparently is stressed and got bad vibes from me this week - not that he's told me that. But the bad vibes were on the day he was late and didn't text me until 5 minutes after he was supposed to be there. And then told me that my seating charts didn't work and students weren't working during literacy stations. 1) my seating charts at the carpet and table are set up the way they are for a reason, dude. You've been here 3 weeks, don't judge. 2) I know students aren't working during literacy stations, but my job then is meeting with my small groups and monitoring behavior. If they're quiet and where they're supposed to be, I'll redirect 1-2x but then, it's on them. But hey, you could get them to work since you are still not teaching anything literacy related.

I'm officially in my 3rd trimester. Did all my labs and such yesterday and everything looks good (a couple things are ridiculously low but the nurse said they're as expected during pregnancy). Gotta wait from the UA to come back before I'm officially in the clear for things, but I don't think it'll show anything either because the UD they did in office was clear of protein which is the big thing they're worried about because my pre-e risk is v v high.

This week has been incredibly long.

4 weeks until I start 2x weekly visits for NST and BPP.

[n-trance]

This is my opinion on the original trilogy for Crash;

Crash 1; Best themes & atmosphere. Gameplay is bad (psx) to mid (NST).

Crash 2; overall the best outta the series. Great gameplay, great characters, great themes & atmosphere. LOVE the secrets system. You get what Crash 1 & 3 did good, along with its own pizazz.

Crash 3; best platforming gameplay & best portrayal of characters, best boss fights. I find the themes & atmosphere lacking tho, also motorbike stages suck ass.

Overall Crash 2 is my fave tho.

Why are rain frogs so round? What's /inside/ of them around such an itty bitty skeleton?

So it turns out this is a really interesting question.

The first thing we must be aware of is that rainfrogs as we see them in videos of them squeaking are not quite the same shape as they are when at rest:

[x]

But you are quite right, they are very round. This is exemplified by the skeletal photo you refer to:

[X]

So what are we seeing?

Well, firstly, note that the body cavity in these frogs actually envelops the femurs, such that only the tibiofibula (fused in frogs) and the tarsals and metatarsals are outside the body. The arms are quite similarly enveloped, but a bit of the humerus does extend outside the body cavity too. This predisposes them to a rounder body shape.

Next, note the ilia - the U-shaped bone in the pelvic region. These in some breviceptid frogs are synostotically fused with the sacrum - that is to say, they are bound by bone-based connections to the bow-shaped vertebra at their tips. This whole joint seems to be quite smooth, and as a consequence, the back of the frog is quite smooth. The other thing we can see here is that the urostyle (i.e. the frog version of a coccyx) juts quite far beyond the ischium and pubis. This extends the body cavity beyond the hips. Note also that the pelvic girdle seems to be largely below the spine, rather than the typical position for frogs behind it and continuous with it. This makes the legs sit below the spine, rather than at its end, enhnacing the vertical roundness of the animal.

Next, let’s talk some soft tissue. Now, I’m not as familiar with soft-tissue in frogs as I am their skeletons, so you’ll have to bear with me a bit (rawr). Beddard (1908!!) studied the soft tissue of Breviceps verrucosus Rapp 1842. It seems that the majority of the body of these frogs is actually muscle. Beddard noted that muscles join the leg at the knee that extend into the body cavity, such that the inclusion of the thigh in the body cavity is further accentuated by musculature. The rectus abdominalis muscle is unusually large, extending from the lower abdomen up and around the sides of the body. Indeed, this large size appears to be the pattern with all of the major muscles, though in the throat the typical arrangement of large and small muscles is somewhat reversed. On the lateral side of the head, there is a substance that is not muscle, but appears to be loose tissue in which sits what is apparently the thymus gland.

There is a very large gap between the end of the urostyle and the anus (one fifth of the total length of the frog), in which there are almost no muscles, save for the one surrounding the lower cloaca. On either side of this area, between the posterior-most muscles of the thigh, lie two large ‘lymph-hearts’, as described by Beddard. These are between one quarter and one third of the total length of the frog. A further lypmh-sac sits between these lymph-hearts and the skin of the femoral region, and they are thus probably analogous to the femoral lymph-sacs of other frogs.

I find it interesting that Beddard (1908) did not mention any glandular formations in the dorsal region. As is evidence from many images (see below), these frogs are able to secrete a white, sticky, noxious substance from their skin (which they actually have to use during amplexus, as the male is too small relative to the female to mount her properly, and so he sticks himself to her with his glandular glue… kinky).

[x]

These glands do not apparently take up a great deal of the cutaneous tissue, and so I suppose are of no consequence to the size of the frog, especially relative to its enormous muscles.

The diet of these frogs consists almost exclusively of hymenopterans and isopterans (ants and termites). Neither of these insect groups are particularly fatty, so it is little surprise that their bodies appear to contain no large fat deposits - fatty bodies extend from the gonads up to the lungs and heart, but these comprise only a tiny fraction of the frog’s mass, and don’t contribute to the round shape. Instead, their bodies are extremely muscular, allowing them to be adept burrowers, ideal for their fossorial lifestyle.

So TL;DR: rain frogs are little balls of muscle (maybe the largest muscle mass relative to body mass of any vertebrate? science just doesn’t know).

2人目出産レポート

9/1夜中に生理痛のような痛みが10分以内間隔でくる。念の為、病院へ。6分おきに張りが来るけど、痛みはちょっと遠のいてしまう。翌朝帰宅することにする。

そのままあまり強い痛みも来ず、前駆陣痛ばかりが来て、ちょっとしんどい。

9/3夜にまあまあの痛みあり。お母さん呼ぶか悩んだけど、とりあえず寝てみたら、普通に朝を迎えてしまった。

9/4お母さん泊まりに来てくれる。

23:45頃、トイレに行く。寝室に戻ると、ちょっと尿漏れな感じ。もしかして破水？でもごく少量だし、トイレ後だし…と横になる。一応、破水について調べる。

日付またいだ9/5の00:15くらいにもう一度トイレに行ってみる。ちょろちょろっとトイレ前に出る。あ、破水かもだな、と思って、ナプキン取りに降りる。その間もじゃじゃっと出る。これは間違いないな、と、リビングで寝ている有矢くんを起こす。破水してると思う、病院に行くと伝える。ハッと立ち上がる有矢くん。

お母さんを起こす。破水してると思うので、病院行ってきます。みずきさんお願いします。

病院に電話して、お産バッグの中身詰めてたら、どんどん羊水が出る。慌てて、お父さんの尿漏れパッドに付け替える。

車に乗り込もうとし、���足を車内にかけた段で、凄い量の羊水が出ているのを感じる。ペットシーツを持ってきてもらい、車内に乗り込む。

病院に着いて、尿検査。明らかに羊水混じっている色。尿取りパッドはびっしゃびしゃ。

すぐに産院パジャマと産褥ショーツに着替えて内診。破水ですね、子宮口は2〜3㌢と。

え、破水してんのにまだそんだけしか開いてないのか…ガビーンって感じ。

陣痛来てなければ、ご主人帰ってもらって結構ですよと。え、そんなアッサリ帰しちゃえる感じなのか…ガビーン。

NSTつけて様子見るも、お腹は張ってるが陣痛は来てない…。24時間様子見て、検査して促進剤使うか考えますと。おいおい長丁場になる可能性あるやん…と思っていたら、母からライン。みずきが起きたと。

有矢くんには一度帰ってもらい、みずきの寝かしつけをお願いする。有矢くんも可能なら体休めといてねとお願いする。

陣痛来ないなぁ、羊水がちょこちょこ出るの、赤ちゃんしんどくないかなぁ、心配やなぁとか色々考えて、調べたりしながら、ちょっとウトウト。3時過ぎ、パンと音がした気がする。え？既に破水してるのに破水音？と思ったら、やっぱり羊水がちょろちょろ出る。ありゃ？しばらく様子見よと思ったら3:30にドーンと強い痛み。わ、始まった！５分おきくらいの陣痛来たらナースコールと言われてたけど、これ絶対に陣痛やし、もう押しちゃう？とか考えつつ、とりあえず有矢くんにラインいれる。ちょうど有矢くんから瑞晃の寝かしつけ完了したところだと連絡が入ったところだった。すぐに次の痛みが来ず、前駆陣痛やったかなぁ…と思った矢先、15分間隔で次の痛みが来た。この痛み、絶対陣痛ってわかって、すぐに来てとライン。ナースコールも押す。モニターつけようかと言われたが、急に痛みの間隔狭まったら怖いので、行ける内にトイレに行っておこうと思い、先にトイレに行く。正解だった。

すぐに有矢くん到着。内診でまだ子宮口３㌢ほど。モニターつけて様子見。もうでも陣痛の間隔は３分半とか２分半とか。呼吸法頑張るけど、なかなかできない。痛くて、体が動いたり、声が出る。

足さすったり、腰さすってもらうけど、余計しんどい。手を握って、あおいでもらうとちょっとマシ。

何かみずきのときの様に上手くできない。ふーふーとかよりもスーーーって強く息をはいたり、それもできなくてぁ゙ーーーー！って声が出る。スー…スー…スーーー…ぁ゙ーーーー！ぁ゙ー…ぁ゙ー…スー…スー…ふぅ…ふぅ…みたいな。痛みが終わっても直ぐに次の痛みが来るし、今回は２〜３回ほどナースコールを押してしまった。え、まだ３㌢？４㌢？とか思いつつ、どんどん声が我慢できなくなって、呼ぶ。もう夜も明けて、外は明るかった。５〜６㌢だね、ちょっと早いけど分娩室行こうかと言われる。まだ５〜６だと…無理だ…。歩いて行こうと思ったけど、陣痛の波が早いから、立ってすぐ、やっぱ無理ですと車椅子お願いする。ベッドで座って待つ間も陣痛で大声が出る。分娩室に到着。分娩台高いから乗り上げるのが大変。自分の背の低さに１番辛いと感じた瞬間かもしれない。上を向いてお産の体勢を取りましょうと言われるが、無理ですと言った。無理ですって何やねんって心の中で自分にツッコミを入れながら、ゆっくり上を向く。上を向いたら更に痛みが強くなった。子宮口７㌢。え、急に開きだした!?指突っ込まれたまま、陣痛来る。抜いてほしい…と思いながらも、８㌢！もう出てくるよ！と言われ、助産師さんたちバタバタする。先生呼んで！とか言うてる。

もう会えるんですか?と聞く、会えるよって言われる。会いたいって言って、その会いたい気持ちだけで乗り切ろうと頑張る。

勝手に体がいきむ。みずきのときみたいに上手じゃない、とにかくいきんでしまうし、呼吸法もできない、姿勢も下手くそ。とにかくいきんでしまう。いきんでいいよって言われる。いきみながら、全開大へ。

みずきのときは出すの楽やったのに、出すの痛いんですけどーーー！？ってなりながらいきむ。髪の毛ふさふさだよ〜とか頭見え隠れしてるよ〜って言われ、頑張る。　

7:13出た…………。分娩台に乗ってから30分くらいか？そんなかかってないかも、産まれた。なんか痛すぎたけど、あっという間だった…。

会陰切開も会陰裂傷もなし、ちょっと膣の奥が切れたので縫い縫い。そんなに痛くない。胎盤出すのは結構痛かった。それこそ、みずきのときは痛くなかったのに…。

そしてさっそく子宮収縮していく痛みと腰が激痛。ひぇ……。

ベビたん、よく頑張ったね、と労いながら抱っこする。

まあそんなこんなで４時間もかからずのお産でしたが、痛みはみずきのときより痛く感じ、今回はお産もうええわ…ってなりましたとさ。めでたしめでたし。
