Here's a little story about my painful afternoon of dipping my toe into mods and blender and shit I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. Cannot emphasize enough how ill prepared I was for all this.

Tl;Dr - that shit is hard and you all have my respect and I have never felt dumber.

So, here I am obsessed with a tiny random NPC in cyberpunk and desperate to see more of them. Anything of them. "Okay, wait"....I think .... "People pull skins and dialogue all the time from game files? Why can't I?"

Okay let's just play with it. Cyberpunk has a pretty robust modding kit. And I find out quickly I need the mod toolkit from CDPR to find and grab specific files. Okay okay not so bad. I get it and start searching. But wait? The labels in cyberpunk are total crap and scattered all over the place. (More on this later) BUT I can search by name! Found the microblorbo I wanted!

BUT.... Wait to see anything I need more....Okay....so I download Blender so I can see this stiff (mind you, I've never touched Blender in my life) but I LITERALLY just want to see this one skin.

Okay fiddle with it a bit and extract some files, hopping back and forth between blender and the modtools where I'm getting the files (doesn't work at first of course - always just that default fucking cube). Oh okay I need the Cyberpunk extension into Blender. Okay what the fuck I'm this far in let's keep going...

It's not there. I need to enable something in blender to get it. Finally find the fucking extension, get the proper mesh file pulled and imported!! ...oh... Okay wait it looks like garbage 😭. All fuzzy and shit. Google more, OKAY....I need the fucking .ent file I GUESS!

Search some more in the files, no .ent for this guy! (Because of the crap way CDPR has their files labeled!!).

OKAYYYYYYY (I could've quit....or you know, used any sort of tutorial at this point but nah)

Search some more and there's apparently a mod that let's you click on a character in game and scan them for their .ent file. O K A Y. Download that mother fucking thing, BUT WAIT it doesn't work... Search some more and you need A WHOLE ASS SEPARATE MOD to be able to use the scanner mod.

I'm in too deep, download that mod.....still.... doesn't work. I'm 4 hours deep in this. Turns out I need this whole ass other thing to make this whole ridiculous set up work. At that point I'm literally the definition of the sunk cost fallacy and ready to pull my hair out. I finally gave up in defeat.

Anyway, that shit is hard. Maybe if I had a braincell left in me I could figure it out, but modders and rippers and renderers holy shit you have my respect.

If you read this far I guess hope you enjoyed my adventures in technology 🫠❤️

So I’ve been watching people play Princess Peach Showtime recently and my brain decided to hyperfixate on a random mini boss.

The Figure Skater mini boss to be exact.

I don’t know why or how he wormed his way into my brain but I love this random boss so much for no apparent reason.

Help me.

I am having the worst case of Resident Evil brain rot that I've ever had in my life. I've loved RE since I was a kid. Why am I only now going feral over it?
