I GOT TI WORKING SCREW YOUIUUUUUUUU

oh yeah origins enhanced adding 18 skins which is why im doing this finally. release should be in the coming days, i think

also decided to test this mod in parallel and so far he is very awkward but yeah !

[zelenbug]

My nitpick complaint is that the Teensie 3D models were already perfect from Rayman 2 and 3. Seeing them with bulbous eyes now is gonna take some getting used to.

Do find it odd they didn’t simply reuse his SOH design for Rayman as I thought that would be his revamp design for all games going forward like with DK in Bananza.

yeah the teensies are rather ugly lol. sometimes theyre charmingly ugly other times theyre just plain ugly. i wish theyd used literally any of the older models for reference for anyone

he looks like this thing i made to make fun of the board game model. they literally gave the teensies optic orb instead of empteyes

IM GLAD they didnt reuse the sparks of hope design!!! i think his puffy hair is really bad and the new design just reassures me in my opinion on it!!!

although the face is. definitely worse. please dont separate his eyes what are we doing why is this such a trend. what does this improve. why does diddy need the flesh strip. why do we need to do this

after thinking about it some more (and sleeping on it) i think my overall opinion on legends retold is. im definitely eating my words with how pessimistic i have been about it before, it actually seems pretty cool though im not a fan of it still being legends (i, notoriously, do not really like rayman legends) & i still think the models are ugly for the most part. whyd they do all that to rayman

im still really glad that david gasman and billy west are in this. im so damn glad r3 murfy is back (aside from his design) its the best version of murfy by FAR. and polokus is good, he was so boring in legends and now he sits around more like origins and HE TALKS, A LOT, i like his design too

...apparently the other vas are like? tom kenny for minimus and such? judging presumably by crazy va overlap? so this might not even be the usual set of vas that usually come together with gasman??? i love poking at va overlap so thisd be pretty fun to do that with

and i like the new skins from what ive seen of them! i think theyll be fun to put into origins with my modding powers. and hey more skin ideas for me to do is fun. im already busy working on a skin rn but after that ill start making the others

the map is really cool and really fun to look at. its nice to see the other games be represented and it feels more meaningful than whatever phantom show was doing

im actually looking forward to playing this one! in multiplayer through parsec with my friends cuz i dont think id be able to own the game for myself, id prefer to play on pc but i dont think my crappy gpu (nvidia geforce gt 1030) will fit the requirements. and also i. cant really buy it anyway because i happen to live in a location

im also looking forward to the origins remaster a lot!! i will find a way to own this one for myself anyway cuz like. im an origins modder i kinda have to LOL. im excited for the modding potential of photoboard skins and possibly whatever else will be there. i think making associated photoboard skins to player skins sounds really fun to do

[zelenbug-art]

sketched this preorder skin thatd be fun to mod into origins

im gonna eat my words i think thsi remake is siginficantly better seeming than i thought itd be (though i still think the models are butt)

also my friend found a clearer image of uglette so oh my god she IS just here

[zelenbug]

WAIT OK UGLETTE????

[zelenbug]

me and my friends have been seeing a bunch of footage of it so my summation on the legends remake. the models are all ugly and i think the remake really has no reason to exist, however i AM very glad about billy west murfy and gasman bubble dreamer & his design actually kinda rocks. im glad he talks a lot and doesnt jus siti n the hub being really useless

& the hub looks a lot nicer in here too being outside enviros instead of just the same damn tent with paintings forever. i like the secrets in there

globoxs voice sucks : ( but i expected that. his model is lika rlghit but also this side view is nasty where is his SNOUT

and yhe teensy model is rancid but at the same time it can grow on me with how damn scrggly in it

rayman is just ugly. i think his model sucks i cant really defend it

shoutots to the freakin icons they repurposed & also whatever happened there. i dont know how this still happens so late in dev

uhh what else. uh this skin is cute. thatd be fun to put into origins with my modding powers. i should do that later

A map of the Glade of dreams has hit the community.

This is not a drill we got an official map.

[zelenbug]

BILLY WEST IS MURFY AGAIN??????????

[zelenbug]

they just revealed the legends remake i couldnt process anything. why did they spend like 15 minutes on superheroes oh my god

[zelenbug]

legends retold screenshots accidentally got out on a review site

edit:

[eroscestlavie]

when you’re a gay lion and you accidentally tried to introduce your lesbian lioness friend to one of her own exes at a gay bar and she goes into the bathroom and bitches you out for not being able to tell her endlessly rotating cast of girlfriends apart which isn’t really fair because first of all they all keep dyeing their hair different colors and second of all she keeps getting back together with different ones at different times and meanwhile you’ve been “single” for like 8 months but are spending a lot of time with one specific guy who works at your old co-op and were going to excitedly tell her about it tonight but now you’ve ruined the whole subject of dating by trying to introduce her to her own ex at a gay bar (which is a watering hole. because you’re lions.)

jee candy how come mom lets you have both strongly binary (girl) and nonbinary at the same time

i finally 100% rayman 2 . only took 6 years since i first played it!

prison ship was kinda annoying, the 1000th lum secret was pretty cool i feel smart for figuring out where it was going off of a hint from raywiki

& i could NOT get the other damn secret in tomb of the ancients because i dared remap my controls and couldnt type "playjeff" for the life of me. not even while trying to account for control remappings. kept jumping at the door typing "pl yveff" like an idiot before i gave up

this is in perfect iambic meter and sounds like the first line of a weird poem

[tearlessrain]

Rule #2

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you see one on the street,

For decorum is essential when a lobster you must greet.

You may comment on the weather, compliment his choice of hat,

But crustaceans like their space if one should stop them for a chat.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you’re strolling down the coast,

Simply nod and give a greeting, or a handshake at the most,

For a lobster’s first priority is formal social graces,

And one seemes over-familiar if a lobster one embraces.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you meet one in the sea,

For a lobster’s spines and chitin make it difficult, you see,

And he might become self-conscious if you bring that fact to light,

So don’t ever hug a lobster, simply put, it’s impolite.
