apparently it’s not just Mario 64 that’s been decompiled - some people have decompiled Perfect Dark and #OcarinaOfTime (maybe others too?) and created PC ports of these games with an absolutely beautiful amount of QoL features, as well as mouselook and a ton of other stuff

they even made it really intuitive and simple to set up, with a helpful guide and everything. I was kinda worried that the PC ports were going to be made by a bunch of Linux People™ who were going to make it arcane as shit but no, the entire game is configured through the simplest and most straightforward GUI ever and I love it

so I’ve been reliving my childhood by playing Ocarina of Time in 2k at 144 FPS

I hated all the dialog boxes as a kid but when you speed them up to scroll twice as fast, they’re really not that bad at all and I’m actually enjoying the story a fair bit. it’s amazing how such a simple change to the UI can change my whole attitude towards the story like that

it feels great to have a game that feels made for me, for once. even if it is just a really really good port of an older game

@kasdeya wait, they did what? Oh no, I'm going to spend the next few days replaying Perfect Dark now...

@emberquill it is incredibly good - especially now that it has mouselook. I hope you enjoy it! 💙
