I agree, I hated hated hated making, using, and even being subjected to them. But Activision liked them, and then Ubisoft ran on them -- I found anything I said was ignored unless it had a slide deck. It was the corporate language so I HAD to learn it. I have made my peace. :)

It took me a long time to come to terms with them, and I benefitted from corporate training workshops.

What I've learned:

Fewest words wins. Keep text large and super brief.

Don't read the slide. The slide should illustrate what you say, not be your script.

Animated GIFs go over big.

I keep saying this, but where are the "we need guns to defend against tyranny" when MASKED PEOPLE ARE GRABBING PEOPLE OFF THE STREET WITH NO ID, WARRANTS, ETC.?

When a tantrum-throwing orange toddler sends the military into American cities?

This is what you've been preparing for, so WHERE ARE YOU?

Today, a sitting President is trying to send military forces into US cities to quell...peaceful protests.

The National Rifle Association, which repeatedly shouts that it needs its pew-pews to fight a potentially tyrannical government, is silent.

Hypocrites? Liars.

As suspected. But.

And yet can be proven by current action.

Their entire constitutional position was never “unless we like the tyrant”

I finally dove into building partscasters during Covid. My first experiment was a triple mini built with very affordable vintage voiced Wilkinson minis. Still surprised at how well it came out!

I am more confident in our ability to pull off this year’s gig. Last year involved a lot of fear of the unknown, which was confirmed when a lot of things went wrong. This year, I’m not “ready” yet — still polishing my performance parts— but confident we’ll put on a fun show. #gratefulwed

They are presented in their original forms, but with a CRT filter you can turn on or off to taste.

Violence toggle allows Fatalities to be performed or not. Blood is red gushy stuff. :)

Both of these were original options for arcade owners; they could tailor the game's content to their location's needs.
Disneyland, for instance, might not want the game in all its gory glory.

"No more secrets" has been a catchphrase for us since the title was announced -- we advertised this from the jump but most folks seem to have missed it! :)

I took up the task to adapt the GPU renderer of MK4 from OpenGL that our emulator engineer did to our bakesale rendering abstraction. Adding 2x, 4x was a easy call to make, just need to render the scene in a bigger intermediate render target.

Digital Eclipse @digitaleclipse.bsky.social · 2d

We've enhanced MK4's graphics with 2x and 4x rendering modes, which give the 1997 arcade original a smooth, modern look. It's entirely optional -- run at the original resolution with the CRT filter for authenticity!

This is HUGE. 1x with the CRT filter looks uncannily like the arcade machine we had at GamePro. 2x without the CRT filter looks slightly better. 4x looks better than MK Gold...!

Really looking forward to people reassessing MK4's legacy -- I've always had a lot of fun with it.
