Software Engineer, Dustloop Programmer and Admin, Granblue Fantasy Player, Guilty Gear ML and +R fan. I write code and innovate for FGC wikis.
In Guilty Gear: The Missing Link (1998), Potemkin's stage has 4 "missing texture pixels" that appear as erroneous magenta squares. 3 on the left corner fencing, and 1 on the right corner machinery. Attached are images of the phenomenon on both original hardware (image 1) and on emulator.
Due to an attack by Russian spam bots, I need to temporarily disable new account creation on the Dustloop forums while I implement prevention and clean up their posts.
In today's episode of "Dustloop gets a big update because I have a 'healthy' work life balance": Overhauled in-site search! I've finally swapped out the site's primitive built in search feature with something smarter, like a search engine built into the site.
Posting because I'm proud of the work I did for the Relink wiki. Invoking the look and feel of the relink UI in CSS was a lot of fun.
The storm knocked out the tree at the corner of our house. Fortunately, nobody was injured and it is over the property line so the HOA will cover everything. Just a little sad that such a nice tree is gone now.
check for this new setting they added to cloudflare. by default, it is set to "Allow" for agent and training bots. I just found it and set it to block, on top of the OTHER anti-ai stuff. Additionally, I recommend putting a managed challenge on countries with known bot farms like russia, China, etc
Sorry Dustloop was slow the past few days. We were getting absolutely roflstomped by Claude AI (30,000+ requests per hour). I just spent the past couple hours doing some heavy tweaking on the server side to try to get our performance back to normal. Please ping @szego.ca if you need to report issu
After 5 years of playing granblue, and 4 years of doing top 100k or better every guild war, I decided to go out with a bang. One hardcore push to go as far into the top 2k as I possibly could. 12+ hours of mashing every day. 55.9 Billion honors. 13 thousand battles. I can retire happily now.
Literally every time I study a new JP lesson, they introduce a new counting word that I haven't seen before. How many different counters does this language have????
my 2026 and 2022 water GWs were both top 25k 2026 was 11.6b 2022 was 1.8b
Who else is anxious that they're gonna show up to UMAD and find that everybody dislike them?
It's still a work in progress, but I'm working on applying the stat bars to Guilty Gear Strive next.
A new feature I'm rolling out on Dustloop! Upgraded infoboxes with Stat Bars! For games with it, they will display a color coded bar to help communicate how good a character's stat is relative to the rest of the cast! It's starting with GG: The Missing Link, and coming to others eventually!
Dustloop spring cleaning changes this past week: - improved ComboMatrix styling on Mobile - rewrote SEO code in Lua for better maintainability and performance - Condensed the Numpad Notation explanation on combo pages - Simplified the numpad notation page to make it less overwhelming
On one hand, always love some cheap +R. On the other hand, it reminds me of how McDonald's used to have a whole menu of stuff for a dollar back in the early 2000s
The numbers, Mason. What do they mean? (Missing Link Justice super frame data)
I hate to shill myself, but we're a quarter of the way through 2026, and I came up ~20% short on the 2025 funding goal for CleanHit Wiki last year. If you like the work I've been doing in the wiki space, maybe consider helping me offset my hosting expenses. ko-fi.com/tarkuslee
Today I've done a massive spring cleaning pass on Dustloop. Major software updates *AND* major updates for the templates and code that underpin our site functionality.
Shoutouts to sol raguy on the forums archiving dangeki information on the forums to make it easier to access and share. I know the forums will never supplant discord, but I will happily take it as a secondary information hub for stuff that can't fit on the wiki.
