go to About:config
find media.mediasource.enabled and toggle it to false
find media.cache_readahead_limit and change it to 9999
find media.cache_resume_threshold and change it to 9999
additionally if you'd prefer mp4 to webm
also in about:config, find:

It's been just over a year since Deltarune chapters 3 & 4 released! I did the 3D work, which mostly means Tenna 📺 I figured it's been long enough to share some "behind the scenes" stuff, starting with a look at the Maya file for his static poses...
I'd individually render the poses to get that early 3D shine ✨ Here's some of them at their original resolutions! I would work from text descriptions from Toby, and sometimes there'd be a Paint sketch to help out. Gigi drew the concept that I modeled from and some poses too!
I had a lot of fun pushing myself to match the dynamic poses Toby had in mind for Tenna - making him so crazy and expressive was something I couldn't have done without his prompts. He'd draw the faces on afterward too, which really brought Tenna to life!
(lots more after the Read More cut...!)
Here are some of the Paint sketches Toby drew to help me with specific Tenna poses! I love seeing his drawings LOL, genuinely really good and evocative 👍
There was a time when I was struggling to capture what he wanted for these specific Tenna poses… Until Toby acted them out himself, and I thought, "Ah, it's like that. I understand." and then I was able to make them just how he pictured them.
When looking through the renders and choosing what to share, I laughed at these two… Remember when Tenna had a gun? Remember when he bent over in a very specific way that might remind you of another, different image? No? Maybe you don't…? Well. Don't worry about it.
These ones are cute… Tenna is pretty cute sometimes! Has anyone ever thought this? Actually, before people knew he was going to be a strange 3D sprite the Whole Time, I was worried people wouldn't like the style and it'd sour people's views on him. I'm glad that didn't happen.
Toby thought it would be funny to have Tenna do some really smooth, mocapped animations sometimes - specifically free to use ones that often pop up in other things. An extra funny part to me is how many frames these take up in the game, and how his tails are stuck to his legs…
Speaking of mocap, Toby wanted Tenna to use custom mocap animations as far back as 2016 - Ten(na) years ago! I got an Xbox Kinect at the time and learnt how to set this up, but then never used it. Here's a look at messing with mocaped stuff again in 2022. So Normal.
Don't bother trying to help him here, he's just being dramatic 🙄
I particularly like these poses - I think I improvised most of these just based off the context they get used in… I always liked posing his tie and coat tails as if they were also parts of his body he could move. Which I guess they are?
After I rendered out the individual poses in high quality, I'd force the color palette to be limited to just a few shades and then I'd shrink the result down to pixel sized sprites. Like these! I'd tidy them up a little, but they'd really get improved on at the pixel scale by Clairvoire.
As well as Tenna's sprites, I also worked on his intro "movie"…! Seeing people be completely overloaded by this on first playthroughs would always make me laugh. In game, there's a ton of extra editing done by Everdraed, but my unedited cut looks like this ⬇️
This was the entire storyboard I had to work from, and I'm realizing now that there's the note "put him in car etc" that I never did and actually don't know what it would mean exactly. Working on this had me listen to the accompanying audio many times, but it's good so it's okay.
Here are a bunch of random clips of the Maya project for Tenna's intro movie. This is how movies get made, I think!! Yeah… Just like this.
Say it with him, folks!!
For the 3D Ralsei clip from the intro, Toby really wanted it to look a certain way, and drew more sketches for guiding me with this part than any other. They genuinely helped.
Remember how Toby's original storyboard has the note "covered in slime and shrinks"? That meant I had to learn how to make 3D slime. You can see my tech advancing here.
I'm really happy with how the final Tenna animation at the end of the intro movie turned out! It wouldn't look as good if it wasn't for some 2D animation to reference from SmallBuStudio, so thank you to them for the help! Tenna is cute… Huh, I already said that…?
Phew!! That's a lot of Tenna. I hope it was fun to look through my posts! Oh, one more thing - the Fangamer Mr. Tenna Figurine just straight up uses the 3D model I made, which I think is really funny and cool and nice. Check it out if you want! Thanks for reading!
Every time Tenna is on screen this little puzzle from the Deltaruined mod is the only thing I can think of. This is how he looks compared to everyone else. This is part of why I love him.
2/3 of these are from a couple days ago and the top right ones from like a month or two ago, still plan on drawing some others at some point bc im just kind of playing touys and experimenting with mobility aids to give him (and would like to maybe eventually design a couple that fit more with object theming (the wheelchair is Loosely, and i mean loosely, inspired by CRT carts) but that requires design juice that my brain doesn't have rn so just normal ones it is)!
these are more specifically the ones i think that would make the most sense with what i depict him with after he gets cleaved, which ends up being a combination of balance + brain fogginess from his antenna being broken, post-stress exhaustion, and the fall during getting cleaved knocking stuff out of place (this combo makes it harder for him to walk or stand unsupported, or for long periods of time).
i tried my best to look into what specifically would be helpful for him that would be the Least Stressful on his shoulders since that is the main traumatic injury he gets, so i figured canes/crutches or a manual wheelchair (all of which require a decent amount of arm / shoulder strength) might not be a great fit for him in this specific state.
also i think it would maybe be cool if he has some control over the wheelchair via either plugging into it or connecting to it with whatever ports he's got instead of just having the joystick but ill have to play with that thought more.
Labubus are blind bags but they're also blind bags with some of the most insane dark patterns stacked on top. The online store for them has a thing where they tell you what you got the second you order it online so that you can immediately try again if you didn't get the thing you wanted.
There's also a shake feature that is designed to encourage you to buy more than one by narrowing down the possibility space on a crate of options so that if you're hunting a specific model you can verify that it's guaranteed to be in one of these three IF you buy all three right now!!!!!
I just thought of this post, which was actually how I learned what Dark Patterns are, because I tried to cancel my Adobe Acrobat subscription, and it took much longer than I anticipated because several times throughout the process it felt like it was intentionally trying to trick me into thinking I'd cancelled my subscription when I actually hadn't yet.
Please read up on Dark Patterns and learn how to recognize them.
HIIII Okay here's a house tour of the Blook House from DFW! A few people showed interest in it and I've wanted to do it for fun for awhile too so here it is!! This is what I use for my own screenshot redraws and how I see the house when I write it :)
A lot of the decor probably is different- sometimes I just put something there bc I thought it was cute(I don't think they have any furbys. yet) and Tenna's little pocket area isn't canon yet nor developed, don't worry about it. Other than that like... I'd probably say the stairs up to the attic might actually just be like. a ladder like attics I've seen tend to have idk I don't have an attic. The doors obv aren't kid doors but they're described as like, decorated- there's a lot- might update later. If you have any questions lmk!!
SCREENSHOTS UNDER THE CUT:
I'll prolly post room screenshots in a different post- the first floor, the bathroom, and Mettatons room are the most accurate so that's what I'd focus on but I'll see if I can add anything else <3
Bet when the Roaring Knight flew into the house, it had the plug in their inventory and decided to just throw it across the room in all the chaos - STILL not giving him that shadow crystal.
