For context:

I'm planning a Shucks reskin mod/oneshot based on the Nicktoon "Invader Zim".
(If you don't know, look it up, maybe watch some of it online idk)

The oneshot is essentially the same idea as one of "Mason's Plaza" player mixes.

Only, the art is all custom, and everything is unique, save for the song (minus maybe the lyrics)

And of course it's a chart instead of a yt upload

(Shoutout to Mason if you see this bro I love your covers)

Vibre's Mix, moreso one of these 2 variants (Kane's varient and Arrey's variant), fit the vibe I envision for the Invader Zim reskin/oneshot.

Would anyone be willing to help remake one of these Shucklings as an fl mobile vocal remake?
I have the instrumentals for both but not the vocals.

If anyone is willing, Thanks!

If not, thanks for at least hearing me out :)

The following concept images fit the atmosphere kinda vibe i'm thinking of
(no irida assets would be used ofc, they're used here as a quick placeholder. but they fit what i think)

(For MODS: Sorry if I'm not supposed to request help here for compositions Idk a good sub for this kinda help lol)

Third image is a remake of one of the Pilot frames I did in scratch for my period-accurate
human zim design.

Had a drawing of my Irken Dib design I did in JV's style but i'm too tired to look for it
(might update at some point)

Ik it might look buns

Idc i'm tired and it's 3am 😭

I personally really prefer how he's depicted in the Pilot. Feels more free-form, but it still looks good/right.

I'd say season 3 is the definitive style to depict him.

I despise season 8 the most, it feels too streamlined(?). Too clean for me.

I put lost tapes as Season 1.5 since the episode is the chronological introduction to Eileen.
Reboot is its own thing, but since it takes place around season one I counted it.

What would y'all think?

(Btw mods, sorry if it needs a spoiler tag, I wasn't sure if lost tapes would be a spoiler at all)

(Best pic i could get. You can see it close to the circle-pad. Also sorry if it's too long a read i'm not good at explaining the necessary lol)

I'm 14 years old, turning 15 the same day Mario and Luigi Brothership turns 2.
I've had a thing for the 3ds console, plus even the Wii and the Gamecube, which holds a fond place in my likings. I like modern releases to an extent, I just think a lot of titles before 2023 and far back as 1996 with Mario 64 and now also 1998 with Ocarina of Time.

This past November, 2025, I got a 3DS for my birthday, specifically a region-free New 3DS XL (Aka the Japanese LL model).
I modded it to include homebrew capabilites and, yes, piracy (Before anyone points or anything, being able to EVER purchase a device is a rare and unlikely instance. My Switch 1 had been bought for us by my grandparents specifically on the christmas of 2019. I remember this because it was the same year as the release of Luigi's mansion 3. My PS5? I have that because my Grandparents didn't register sarcasm from my mom. I only have a GBA and PS2 because my dad had it already. Same with the Wii my family used. Piracy is the easiest and most convienient thing for me. Cheap as well, and it doesn't hurt the wallet by downloading games. I legitimately found one of my favorite games because of it).

Anyways, I have to mention my little brother here. He is the source of this problem. Before you judge, he's extremely sensitive to criticism in the slightest negativity, and he will become reckless when pissed. He's thrown electronics so bad it's a miracle our joycons don't have stick drift.

Him and I got into a fight once. Typical sibling stuff. I have no proof he actually caused my problem besides how well I know him and my little sister, unless he confesses on his own.
I calmed down in my own way. He left the room and calmed down too.
At least I thought.

I left my room to get my 3DS. I was going to check up on my Tomodachi Miis, along with my New Leaf save. Only, it wasn't on the table I left it on. I noticed the kitchen sink had been filled all the way.
I looked into the water, and there was my console, submerged in water for who knows how long.
It was janky for days. Inputs would be delayed, console crashes sometimes happened, and the battery drains much faster than it did. To compare, it used to have just over half battery by the end of the bus rides to and from school (I don't have a phone, but I'd still prefer my console over one). Now, it'll range from around 25 to 45 percent.

I know it's most likely him, given his temper, and his lack of control. The issue is, he lies over the simplest things, like microwaving an extra hotdog, or even things people simply need to know.
He even insists upon it until he gets caught, acting upon his lies so well you can simply just be suspicious until you prove him to lie. In those instances in which i call him out, he deflects on me supposedly "ruining his fun". Talking about me being a Killjoy because he does something he knows pisses me off. The hypocrite gets onto me for swearing on occassion, yet he feels he can say the n-word on tiktok lives, just because you can bypass the filters on tts with language differences, like it's an excuse.

Anyways, I know he dumped it in the sink. There's no one else that can reach into the sink or reach that far that they can turn the handles. At least, no one that has any sort of reason. My sister is smaller than him, who is also smaller than me, who stands between 5 and 6 feet. It wouldn't be her without assistance, and my brother would've had a part either way.

Anyways, the issues improved, and at some point, I took a break from playing it. I got invested in other games, watched a lot more youtube vids and clips, and i looked for my 3DS.
Again, wasn't where I left it.
It was on the floor, and there was a HUGE crack in the top corner of the screen, which you might be able to see in the image. It was bad, you could feel it if you ran your fingers over the top layer of the screen. If you pressed just slightly enough, you could hear a crackling noise.
Less likely compared to the sink incident, but my little brother likely stepped on it or tried some pressure method of breaking. Like the other time, it wasn't where I left it.

This case is different from the other. That time, it was still completely functioning, even if slightly weaker and more unstable.
Now, I can't use the bottom touch screen for anything but viewing.

This is a problem, especially games with most, if not complete, touch-based gameplay.
I can't play Tomodachi Life on it anymore :(

I have a 2DS i can play it on thankfully, but the 3DS is screwed for touch mechanics.
Also, like I said, too broke to buy even half of what i have or want.

Is there a modification I can apply to the console?

Or should I just simply get a screen replacement or console replacement? (I really don't wanna have to jailbreak another 3DS but at least it's easy enough I can work with what I already have).

Let me know.
Sorry about the rant btw lol it's done.

-Worst to Best - from Top to Bottom

Crash Bash- Awful. It's an obvious bootleg/attempt at what Mario Party was doing at the time. Only the game present + "story" shown is lackluster, and there are only minigames. These are okay at first, but they're the SAME GAMES every world. They have a mechanic or two unique to the world they're in, and it adds so little, it feels like the PS1 equivalent of a modern bug fix/patch. It completely shows that the devs were pulling a "Yolo". This is understandable, given it being the first Crash game made from someone other than Naughty Dog. But there are cases where these kinds of "shift in ownership" situations work like the sudden surge in good Spongebob games/games PERIOD (While THQ still has involvement, they publish instead of develop).
Overall, this is the worst to me. Video game equivalent to certain Name Brand consumables.

Crash 1 - You can judge me for preferring WRATH over this, but whatever: Crash 1 is the original start of the series. It was a competitor to companies like Nintendo and Sega with their mascots. It was unique for the time. It had really good gameplay for it's time and it was very popular amongst fans.
I don't hate Crash 1. I like it as much as a lot of people. I just think that it lakes a lot compared to the later titles. Platforming is primitive, the animations are stiffer and feel more the animation is on its own while the actual objects move on a track). It feels like things only move when there's a noticeable movement and action to be done. The way characters behave in-game feel much more scripted than genuine. It feels less immersive than other titles to me.

I like it for what it is, I just think it shows how old it is in the gameplay.
(Also who tf did Cortex's voice, that didn't sit right with me)

Wrath - I really don't know how to explain this, don't hate on me in the comments for it.
As much recycling as it does from the previous titles, plus the graphics, it's genuinely fine if it's the first Crash game you've played or seen be played.
My opinion on it comes from the idea of going into crash games blind. Certain things can be said about it, similar to Crash 1 but for different instances.

Crash 2 - It's a good game. It's a step up from Crash 1 in quality, and it offers much more in terms of experience. All the staple elements from the original game remain, plus new elements that became staples of the series.
Though you can still tell things are being tested out, especially some of the things seen in 3 and even warped. I just dislike how some things are presented. The Gem routes and secrets are very tedious. You'll have to take a secret path, collect a gemstone, play a path, and some other level or two which in the end, takes you to a secret path in an earlier level, which you had to play normal first. One of the big examples I've heard people mention (Shoutout to Caddicarus), is the Red gem in level 2 of the first floor.

But there are things i love about it like the improved animations and extra animations. They feel more lively, and less rigid than the original (they lack much life besides Crash's sideway look). I love the music in the game, and some of the environments are genuinely beautiful to me, such as the forest/swamp/whatever evironment has the hippos. My favorite atmosphere.

Twinsanity - Most Unique game I've played in the series, and with it comes a lot of content that gives it a freshly unique personality. It has a special instance of humor and comedy that makes up a good part of the game. I like the take on an open world (even if in stage-by-stage chunks), and the sound track, I LOVE IT.
It's composed and vocalized by an acapella group called "Spiralmouth" (for those who don't know: an acappella is a song fully and completely performed through vocalizations. Like a mix of beat-boxing and of vocals like Friday Night Funkin' songs). I like the game and it's a good instance of trying to collect everything. It's not hard, but it's not overly simply like games on PS4 and PS5 that simply give you trophies for completing main story objectives. The game also introduces the cast that we've come to know for today's titles.

As much as I love it, there are moments where you can tell the game wasn't completely finished. My big issue being things like the rolling physics which feel more slippery than good, or certain speedrun strats/glitches. You can literally teleport at least 20 feet away just by jumping on a soccer ball in a specific spot. I have to put this in 2 for the flaws mentioned (It would be my number 1 if not for the flaws mentioned).

Warped - The best. Hands down. This is the game that tuned the flaws and issues with the first 2 games, and adds more as well. I love how it uses time travel as a concept. Both the story, gameplay environments, and even level hub are peak. I like how the music feels attatched to the place in time the levels take place.
Warped is in first place because of how it improves and innovates on the first 2 games' concepts.

Y'all can let me know in the comments how you feel about these games, how i've ranked them, or if you would switch/shift the rankings!
I'm open! Just don't get too harsh is all.

Making this post as a potential satisfaction for those who would want a potentially definitive timeline. (I know the bologna episode exists but we're just gonna say this is either it's own branch of the multiverse or it gets fixed offscreen).

For those who haven't read the comics (or at least those who forgot about them), there exists the "Zimvoid arc". This is the IZ version of the multiverse, the bypass for odd episode logic or weird timeline inconsistencies.
Because of the multiverse's existence in the comics, this would theoretically make all IZ media canon. Offical and fanmade (no i didn't make a typo).

By this logic, this would essentially make scrapped media/plotlines canon. Such as the original series pitch lore, or even the pilot. (For those who believe potential references to JTHM as true, Nny would potentially exist in one of IZ's timelines as seen in his own comics, aka JHTM is a Zimvoid timeline).

Considering this concept, the pilot is canon. I bring this point up for another theory.
The Pilot is the Zimvoid timeline. Aka: Pilot Dib is Zib.

There's multiple ideas that lead me to this conclusion.
The pilot version of Dib, as you reading this or myself might think, has a creepiness and edge that he is not shown with like this past the pilot. I'd like to think there is a lore reason for that, which to me is canon to this timeline.

The series pitch booklet/pre-pilot concept told Dib off as more of the creepy kid seen in the pilot. I'd like to believe this version of Dib as a result of the lack of care/involvement in his life from Professor Membrane and those around him, which ETF makes a big point on (also the booklet points this out, so it would be more likely than not a canon lore bit).

Even Zim became uneasy with him at two points in the pilot. 1: When the robo-armor begins to malfunction, the scene cuts to Zim inside the suit, squealing in fear or stress.
2. As Dib makes the big blow (either the shot of him aiming the food launcher towards the screen or the final blow), the screen shows Zim's eyes inside the suit, the pupils of his lenses(?) shrinking (This is one of multiple visual tactics animators use to convey fear).
Zim being Zim has no normal reason to be scared of Dib, even when close to failing a battle.

Why would he be scared of Dib if he didn't think of Dib defeating and/or exposing him to be likely at all?
Because Pilot Timeline Dib was more likely than the series-to-movie counterpart of himself to fulfill his goal.

With this logic, Pilot Dib defeated his Zim at some point, and (given the portrayal of him), ended up mentally breaking to a point where the potential of the Zimvoid arc grows.
By the end of the day, Pilot Dib eventually becomes Zib.
(You might be wondering why both versions of Dib are so mentally different. Well, given the apparent loss of everything Zib has experienced, this could've been the last straw before Pilot Dib gave up)

Regardless, onto the post-pilot media!

The comics, as i'd like to believe, are the day-to-day things in Zim and Dib's lives. The "meanwhile" after an episode ends.
The series is usually at a peak with the intensity of situations. There have to be times where neither of the two are dealing with something big like the florpus or a "10 minutes to Doom" situation. Shows like TADC, for example, have certain episodes that are filler to the plot, but are acceptable when it comes to logically having more casual days, even if having it onscreen isn't necessary.

The comics would fill these spots for the most part. I know that the first part of the comics lines up with the movie, but i'd say the rest of the comics are the in-between content. The first issue is in a weird spot.

Then comes the Zimvoid arc of the comics, most likely imo before the cancelled episodes "The Trial" and "Mopiness of Doom".

The Zimvoid arc is only there because of how I see the trickster connection Z and D make in the movie (the friendship bracelet buildup. I really only see that bit of the movie being canon if they had some kind of crap happen beforehand.

Then comes the previously mentioned cancelled episodes.
"The Trial" has the fact come to the screen that the Armada/Entirety of the Irken race despises Zim, including the Tallests. I feel that the fact would get to Zim at some point, even if the episode's script ended with Zim's oblivious determination (Could've been a draft script idk)

Then come the events of Mopiness.
This episode has Dib questioning his efforts in paranormal pursuit. As Dib tries moving past Zim, Zim becomes mopey (hence the title). In my view, this is Zim's backhanded and complex care about Dib (not like the ship sorry). Zim has no reason to leave his residence if Dib doesn't care. It's pointless to scare anyone or battle anyone who doesn't care, hence this mood swing. None of the other skool kids care, not even Gaz (for the most part)

Some point during this time, whether it's during Dib's decision making or as he returns to the "house", Zim is formulating a huge, last-effort plan to regain the trust and pride of Tallests Red and Purple (as y'all refer to them idk if they have confirmed names), and almost at his breaking point.

(This is where the theory becomes a bit iffy, given the implications of the episode's script being finalized, but idk)

As Dib arrives at the house, returning to his focus on exposing Zim, Zim is oddly quiet. Not even a peep.
This is part of the plan.
Zim knows how Dib thinks. Dib always believes he up to something, especially when keeping quiet. Given the supposed timeskip in ETF, Dib likely would have thought Zim was planning serious shit.

This leads to Dib's state of isolation seen at the beginning of ETF, where the rest of the timeline plays out as seen.

You might be questioning the lack of presence of other kids besides Dib and Gaz (And the one gag with Poonchy and Minimoose), or even Ms. Bitters.

The movie takes place during the summer, given how none of the cast is in the skool.
Besides being irrelevant to the plot, Keef, Poonchy, Torque, etc, they're probably at home or out somewhere else for summer activities. This would include Ms. Bitters, even if she isn't exactly imaginable outside skool.

(I know this is long as hell and potentially pretty flawed but i'm dead tired and i don't care enough right now to rework anything. Lemme know if you have any corrections or backup points to make or anything ig)

They really leave pp alone

This is just how I see it given their portrayal in said periods of time.

Dib was a CREEP in the pilot episode. Reminder most of his methods of exposing Zim are non-lethal (or at least not intended to harm his health), but he just used something that he knew would potentially kill him in the pilot (I mean, come on, allergies are a health hazard.)
And from the art i've seen of Dib pre-pilot as well, that creature wasn't being bullied, he was INDEED crazy. I can imagine Zim fearing Dib here, not specifically just because of potential failure.

Not trying to mock or hate on Zim as a character, I think he's pretty good as a main character, given how he is himself.

Iykyk
(SML fans i'm looking at you)

I downloaded the gay mod for my 3ds (hacked yes), and it seems to have screwed up my cartridge (maybe?). I downloaded the mod as a separate digital version of the game, but my cartridge seems to have been altered by the mod.
I saw my cartridge slot on the home menu with the same pic as the mod's version. I thought I was overthinking or whatever, but here's the thing: I took the cart out of my console and put it back in. It STILL had the icon on the menu. The overlay description (It's highlighted if you zoom the menu) still was the same as the mod's version as well.
One big issue that makes me think it's a glitch: I've only gotten 3 successful marriages, one of which ended due to divorce. I've had other heart bubbles very spaced out in appearance since then, and none of them end well at all. The point here: NONE OF THEM were towards someone of the same gender.

Idk if it's a glitch or if the mod actually did alter my cart, but something's weird with this.

Is this something mods often do to games with physical and digital versions?

Mods, let me know if this goes against the recreation rule, but I just want to say this is exactly how they appeared in my dream AND this is my own drawing, minus the original character image

I'm planning ideas for a retake of legacy Aethos content.
Specifically, this would mean content/content versions made in 2024, the year it all came out.
The mod would have official and/or fanfinished versions of 2024 content, like Irida's Terus or Shuck V2. Maybe Atom's oneshot Aethos remake. You get the idea: old 2024 content.

I don't have the stuff to make or program a lot for this, and i couldn't do it alone anyways. The storyboard vid/concept above is a visualization of Shuck! for this mod. The version used is a wip of Vibre mix when Arrey was still working with them (The guy with the unused rose part).

Btw, the image with the 2:37 mark in it would be marvin breaking out of his chains, pissed by rose's injury, and is a buildup micro-phase to the lyrics.

I know a lot of crap here looks fake and unofficial or just stolen from irida, that's cuz this is just a concept mockup and also the stuff fits what i'm going for.

If anyone's interested, you can comment or dm me on discord! My acc name is mari_hikkiko_suzuki

I know a lot of people were upset that the full game didn't feel like the earlier builds, mainly the hello guest to E3 2021 builds. A lot of stuff changed, like the artstyle, atmosphere, gameplay, music, literally most things concieved.

The biggest problem a lot of people have would probably be one thing: The lie.
I don't know if this is the first announcement of the aspect, but in a trailer tinybuild released, they explained the unique approach they planned to take with the Ai. They mapped out the idea of a neural network ai. For those who haven't seen it or have no idea about this, the idea was that the ai would learn from not just your own gameplay, but GLOBAL gameplay. It would learn how most players played and tried to out maneuver the ai, and would improve upon gathered knowledge. Essentially, Mr. Peterson, the cops, all npcs, would have knowledge of all players, despite the obvious singleplayer game.

I know a lot of people were excited by and interested in this concept. When the full game released, it seemed that the ai was nothing like what they advertised. Looking into the game, hackers realized that there was no neural network ai. And after some point, the steam page for the game removed any mention of this ai.

People were upset and irritated that it seemed to be a big lie, but I have some points I want to mention. A mix of my own logic and actual facts.

Firstly, to gather all players' data, the game would have to require internet. You can't know everything without some way to connect, much like the internet. The game had and still has no multiplayer online gameplay, but you'd still need it. This is much like a lot of cheap mobile games, except it's not money that they want, they just want proper functionality.

Second of all, the learning aspect. I don't know how else it would work, but if it's learning from millions of players constantly, or whoever owns it anywhere, it would continue improving until you just can't gaslight Peterson into locating a spill. The game would be literally unplayable. There would be no sneaking, because he could literally just approach you like a magnet.

Last but not least, Nikita's own stress. Remember the Devgamm/pitch animation for the original game? That was created in 2014. That would mean that if you include the original pitch creation, the game took around 3 to 5 years to make. Then Hide and seek soon after. Secret neighbor and the og game's sequel for the next 3 years. That's almost 8 or 9 years of constant work on hello neighbor games. You can tell it was a lot of stress and such, because he himself confirmed in one of HN3's devlogs that this was a big thing that led him to quit.
Based on the timeline of releases, Secret Neighbor (among us-eqsue spinoff) was developed in the MIDDLE of the sequel.
This, along with dealing with things like working this ai system, the Ukrainian War's affects on the studio, etc. A lot of this led him to quit until RBO, which is now HN3. This makes it more understandable to me why the full game is so different.

I'm mainly writing this because most people I see complaining about the full game being so different don't seem to mention anything about the circumstances. So Idk.

I could be overthinking but lemme know what y'all say

I've watched the full series + Movie and SUF, and looking at the pilot I kinda thought of something.

Episode 39 of season one "Future Vision" has Garnet explaining how her future vision works.
She reveals the fact that she can see all possible timelines (through wasting coffee). And can see them at any given time.

However, there are moments in later episodes where what is a plot twist or shock to any normal individual in her shoes (Like pearl in "Cry for help") where she should be able to see the potential of the scene.

I read an old post from like 10 years ago (Idk if it's confirmed or not how it works), but said post had comments theorizing that Garnet has to think about a situation to see possible timelines. This makes sense given scenarios like previously mentioned. Garnet didn't see it because she (incorrectly) trusted Pearl.

This leads back to what I'm trying to explain. The pilot features Steven using the hourglass from one later episode (idk which), using it for comebacks and insults. Later on, Steven causes a skull entity to appear due to the splits in time Steven caused. Garnet insults Steven, asking him why he's such a buttface. Steven struggles to come up with a response, then saying he couldn't help it, rhetorically asking Garnet what her excuse is. As Steven intentionally rewinds this last time, Garnet gasps, saying "You did it".

What he did, at least what SHE says he did, is unknown to me (also idk if it's confirmed). But from later facts, like what I mentioned towards the beginning of this post, I'd like to believe she was talking about Steven rewinding time again. I wouldn't say anything else would be the case. Something logical, at least.

Why was she surprised?
Well, maybe it's like the old post said; she can only see what she's thinking of/considers possible.
She saw only the outcomes of the situation where Steven just stayed quiet, and maybe the group losing.
She didn't expect Steven to come up with a response/lead the group to win.

I wanna say this was an early implication of her future vision, even if this was just a concept episode but idk
