Many tricks are up my sleeve, to save yourself you'd better leave! 🪕🧩🐦

Banjo Tooie kinda feels like it has the opposite problem as Donkey Kong 64, where theres not enough collectables scattered around. Most of the music notes are single clumped pieces and all the eggs and feathers regenerate so you cant really use the collectables as a way to tell where you have already been and explored like you can in BK. Double an issue since Tooie's levels are so huge and feel much more empty, like space is being wasted

Genuinely love taking notes. I'm borrowing some books from my cousin right now and you bet your ass I'm taking notes so that way when I give the books back I still have information to look back on. My DnD notes are so thorough that my cousin who DMs the Innistrad campaign used them to remake portions of his campaign notes after his program deleted some of them for no reason. In PokeDnD we did a bit of a backtrack and when my cousin who DMs that saw me cross out two (admittedly small) pages of notes he was like "we only backtracked by one session? How did you have that much written down about it?" Well it's because this is fun for me. I get to have Information and can even color code things. Sometimes I draw silly yet relevant pictures. I'm like the table scribe.

Today Mark Kurko released his Legend of Banjo Kazooie the Bear Waker Deluxe mod to the public, and of course, I had to play it immediately, I love everything that guy does and it makes me not so sad to be a Banjo fan.

This is a revamp of a hack he did a while ago, if the title didn't clue you in. They make a few references to the fact that it's a deluxe version of an existing hack in the beginning but you don't need to play the original, also, if you have, there's plenty of new in this version, more jiggies, more explorable areas, more easter eggs, and a completely new endgame reward.

It's not a full length hack, it only took me a couple hours to beat ( and a lot of that is me getting distracted by irl things and being kind of stumped by one puzzle that should have been obvious ) but it was enough to kill an afternoon and as always, a delight to the nintendo nerd in me.

If you want to experience this, there should be links and instructions in the description for Mark Kurko's Bear Waker DX full guide. I played mine on a real N64 and it worked just fine, there were some performance issues in one or two spots, and a bit of graphical issues, but nothing that would hinder my enjoyment.

Kazooie would definitely play games with voice chat, she'd be shit-talking Bottles & Mumbo while winning a game of Rocket League

*summons you, but gets nervous cause ur attractive and infodumps to you instead of what i initially planned*

the ground where you drew the pentagram starts to glow, and fire starts to spawn around it. you look upon your ritual with excitement in your eyes, the summoning appears to have worked! soon youll get to meet an all powerful demon, one youve read about in all the old books that are strewn about the floor. you lick your lips, since you read this demon is known for its lustful nature, youre very excited to do certain- things with her. what will you make her do first, you wonder? maybe youll make her get on her knees and use her throat, mke her choke and gag until she cant breathe... maybe youll take her to the nearest bed and rail her brains out... ohh the options are endless, and the thoughts are all running rampant through your head. finally after a minute or so, a shadowy figure starts to rise out of the pentagram, and it is accompanied by a gust of black smoke billowing out from the center. you are hit with a flash of light, blinding you, that forces you to look away. after a second the light disperses, and you look up anxiously to see the sexiest, most beautiful woman you have ever laid eyes on. her skin is red, her body is to die for and she is wearing a skimpy little outfit. she has a set of absolutely gorgeous horns, that must add at least 7 inches to her total height. she makes you seem so small and weak just looking upon her, you start to get nervous that maybe she'll be the one using you. she looks around the room with curiosity, before finally setting her gaze on you. she opens her mouth to speak and her voice is like an angels, ironically.

"well well well. another mortal. let me guess, you want something from me dont you?" she seems annoyed slightly. "i was in the middle of something important you know. so. what is it?"

"i uh um please um can we- uh" you stutter.

"spit it out human. i dont have all day." she says in a commanding tone.

"um well you see i- i want to- uh well did you know that in the original banjo kazooie game theres only 5 colors of jinjos but in the second game there are 10 colors and the grey ones are extinct?"

she looks confused. "...what? what are you talking about?"

you anxiously let out another tidbit of autistic infodumping. "in banjo kazooie when you use the mumbo transformations sometimes he'll turn you into a washing machine and joke about how he's going to wash his clothes with you..."

"huh wow. thats quite interesting actually. its cute how anxious you are cutie. wanna have sex?"

and then you get to fuck a hot autistic demon girl because you got anxious and started infodumping. love wins!!!!

JUST INSULTED BANJO IN MY HEAD AND CALLED HIM BANJO-KAZOOIE. NOT HIS NAME. I FEEL LIKE A DAD CALLING LINK ZELDA RIGHT NOW

Found some old N64 manuals lying around that are still in fairly good condition. Perfect Dark, Yoshi's Story, Banjo-Kazooie, Mario Party, and Duke Nukem. Genuine question, are these worth anything to anyone? Cause like, I imagine a lot of this physical media has been thrown away over the years and sometimes these manuals contain art and lore that was never uploaded to an official site. But these aren't exactly obscure games, so I'm sure there's nothing in these manuals that's in danger of becoming lost media because someone else has probably already saved physical copies and posted every page to a fan wiki.

meanwhile sonic x shadow generations will probably be my birthday present to myself.

specifically i plan to preorder this because what do you mean i can get gerald robotnik's notebook on creating shadow and the ark

[meowm1x]

that poll about game or story is so funny i was gonna make a joke about being a pokemon fan but there's already folks in the tags that beat me to it 😭

[latewife]

Does anyone have any suggested N64 games?
