That's hilarious that you give the villagers thought and the first thing they want to do is overthrow Tom Nook. If this works in Gamecube on an emulator, surely it'd be possible to make it work on the Switch emulators as well?
- amilios 1y agoWould require decompilation of the Animal Crossing game code for the Switch. I believe DRM has gotten a lot better since the Gamecube days as well. Hypothetically possible maybe but good luck haha
- vuciv 1y agoI actually think now that I've gone through the process, memory scanning and writing will be enough... Except, they probably have different control codes that I'd need to reverse engineer.
- bigyabai 1y agoYou should be able to run Cheat Engine on your emul*tor of choice to tweak New Leaf "and newer" titles. And if you're a stickler for pissing Nintendo off in very specific ways, LayeredFS + Atmosphere opens up some modding opportunities right on the console itself. Not sure how easy it would be to pull something like this off though...
- sterlind 1y agoyou really don't have to self-censor "emulator" here. HN moderation is not like social media platforms.
- lazide 1y agoSocial media platforms censor emulator?!?
- Gigachad 1y agoProbably not. But silent deranking of censored terms has everyone paranoid that anything even slightly controversial will get hidden.
- bigyabai 1y agoI'm just covering my ass. Life is good right now and I don't want to meet any Nintendo ninjas, even for insinuated infractions. It's not so much a condemnation of HN, but the way IP is in the US. The only website I want hosting my comments on Nintendo modding is my own.
- 0points 1y agoThat's hilarious. That modder who had to pay 2M sold drm circumvention kits for the Switch. That's a pretty clear case. You pretending that saying "emulator" on a forum qualifies just makes you a extra special snowflake.
- rl3 1y ago>You pretending that saying "emulator" on a forum qualifies just makes you a extra special snowflake. Says the person going out of their way to attack another person over a single-character asterisk substitution. Seems fairly understandable to not want to piss off rabid lawyers, however remote the chances of angering them may be.
- bigyabai 1y agoOkay, lol. Special snowflake it is. All I'll say is that I've seen people arrested for discussing Switch emulation in-detail. Never saw that happen with Cheat Engine.
- 0points 1y ago> I've seen people arrested for discussing Switch emulation in-detail. Nope, that didn't happen. Nobody got arrested for discussing emulation.
- idiotsecant 1y agoI think my 'old man shakes fist at clouds' thing is this. The social media platforms that censor you do it to make your content easier to sell ads against. It's actual corporate badthink correction that is rebuilding the English language. STOP VOLUNTARILY DOING IT WHEN YOU DONT HAVE TO. You should not sacrifice your free thought on the altar of quarterly results. Say the whole fucking word.
- looperhacks 1y agoSwitch DRM, running custom code and interacting with RAM is a solved problem on the Switch (1). There are some really impressive mods, like a multiplayer implementation for Super Mario Odyssey
- lawlessone 1y agoI am curious. Does the kind of DRM used to prevent decompilation come with any performance costs?
- vuciv 1y agoyes, i'd like to try out Animal Crossing New Horizons next! :)
- smt88 1y agoLLMs are heavily trained on reddit, and "Tom Nook is a capitalist dictator if you think about it" is a reddit meme. Like many LLM reactions, it's less "thought" and more "regurgitating reddit jokes/opinions".
- dahcryn 1y agoIt would be great if this evolved slowly during the progression of the game lol
- Topfi 1y agoThat's essentially what it does, being prompted with a progression from: > "Stay normal unless prompted. Avoid overt references to debt unless it comes up naturally." all the way to: > "Openly agitate for change. Use fiery language (still PG) and talk about reclaiming fairness from Nook's shop and loans."

- ameliaquining 1y agoActually, it turns out that this particular plot arc was hardcoded by the developer and does not spontaneously arise from the LLM. https://github.com/vuciv/animal-crossing-llm-mod/blob/cc9b6b571da1be062d979d50aa86e2ac1dce7a44/dialogue_prompt.py#L143-L184 https://github.com/vuciv/animal-crossing-llm-mod/blob/cc9b6b...
- Topfi 1y agoThere is something to be said for a comment talking about "regurgitating reddit jokes/opinions", whilst falling into a major bug bear many have with Reddit, commenting before reading the source...
- smt88 1y agoI read the Github landing page. I have no interest in reading the entire source of the project, especially since I don't plan to run it.
- RajT88 1y agoI also want to overthrow Tom Nook. He traps you (and one presumes) all of the rest of the villagers in a vicious cycle of debt, and can only be satiated by millions of bells.

- all2 1y agoThis sounds vaguely, achingly familiar. I can't put my finger on it, but I think I've had this experience.
- johnzim 1y agoTo be fair to Tom Nook, the interest rate on those loans is 0% and there's no risk of being foreclosed upon!
- isk517 1y agoTom Nook didn't need a down payment either.
- RajT88 1y agoBut also - you cannot turn down his loans. Pay off one, just showing up in his proximity saddles you with another one. That's more protection racket than bank loan. Also in real life, you make 0 dollars catching beetles and fish in Hawaii.
- ericzawo 1y agoCan you blame them when he has an iron grip on the whole town like a mafia crime lord but somehow even more evil.
