Bruce has a big birthday party and Tim brings Bernard as his plus one and he talks about his conspiracy theories about several league members to their faces.
Bernard: Martian Manhunter is gay
J'onn: explain
Bernard: he's not hunting *women*.
J'onn: I see.

Old mod page, abandoned 3/2/24; New mod page @ Godsibb
Finally, after 2 years of work, it is complete. -But still being updated.
There's a Japanese version of the mod now!
今は日本語版のMODがある!
This is a mod for Xenogears using Retroarch's Beetle PSX HW core real-time texture replacement feature. (It requires the Vulkan driver, so make sure your graphics card supports that.) (Duckstation doesn't have a similar option, unfortunately.)
It replaces every single character dialogue portrait, menu portrait, & (almost every) battle portrait (looking at you, Yggdra officer Gear pilots) with high quality, cleaned up artwork, as well as recreated high quality UI while keeping it as close to the original game as possible.
And best thing about it is, if there's anything you don't like about it, like certain aspects of the UI, you can locate and delete that file from the folder. Everything is optional. (if you have any questions as to what's what, drop them into my dms)
Current version: 1.4
現在の日本語版: 1.4
(More screenshots below download info and UI changes.)
Being a real-time texture replacer, it should work with any English version of XG, both base-game and modded/patched. Any fan-translated patch using the US version as a base should display correctly.
There's a separate version for the Japanese version of the game. May need some editing still with other characters' UI ("Ether"/"Spells"/"Arcane"/etc) but for the most part its good to go in terms of battle UI. Let me know if you find any errors.
(I've been using it with the Perfect Works Build mod. Highly recommended!)
(Note!!: If you use PWB mod, don't use its "readjusted portraits" patch when patching your rom, as that patch interferes with this mod's portraits texture replacing.)
(It works on Steam Deck... but don't ask me for details in setting that up in particular, I don't own one 😅)
~~~
Download/ダウンロード
I recommend reading the instructions txt files I included in the DL.
This includes information such as how to set up .cue and .m3u files, swapping discs, renaming the texture folder, Retroarch settings and Beetle PSX HW Core settings to get the mod working, settings suggestions for making a cleaner looking and faster playing XG (YMMV), and settings to fix certain emulation issues Ive come across (freezing on fast-forward, crackling audio during 3D/effects-heavy cutscenes/gameplay, blank screen during Rico flashback, etc).
~~~~~~~~~~
-Changes made to the UI include:
Menu UI:
selection triangle, Walk/Gear icons
menu portraits
▲ ■ ● ✖ button DeathBlow menu icons
ABXY button DeathBlow menu icon- alternate textures
Battle UI and on-foot specific battle UI:
Circular battle palette and tags behind text
Battle palette text, "Combo", "Return", "Enter", "Miss", "EP", & HP/DMG/heal/AP numbers
HP/AP bars
"Time", "fuel", "total damage", AP numbers, "1/2/3 point(s)", "cancel end"
battle portraits
▲ ■ ● ✖ button DeathBlow icons
ABXY button Deathblow icons- alternate textures
Bottom screen mid-DeathBlow ▲ ■ ✖ icons (unfortunately, there's no way to change the other mid-DB quadruple-button icons)
Combo 1-7 and Accept icons
In-Gear specific battle UI:
"fuel" and fuel numbers
"Fuel" (when using boost)
fuel bars (top and left)
All Gear status menus' green text/numbers
Attack level numbers and ∞
Gear menu backgrounds
Gear "power shut down", "camera damaged", "out of fuel", etc, statuses
background UI elements, runes, triple red triangles, Gear lock-on UI (unfortunately, there's no way to change the circular part of this UI)
Misc UI changes:
Red/grey spheres (in the menu and loading screen)
All instances of selection diamonds, both horizontal and vertical
Load/save screen "CARD 1"/"2" text, memory card icon, load/save bar/text
Disc 1 and 2 maps (with alternate color versions; makes the enterable area indicators harder to see though)
NESW compass letters (unfortunately, there's no way to change the circular compass texture)

Two-eyed Bart
Kim lab coat with glasses
Fei-colored Id
Fei-colored Id with Id's yellow eyes
Fei-colored young & older Emeralda
(might add to this list later. have any suggestions? fun ideas? lmk. It doesn't have to be canon-compliant.)

Screenshots of alt portraits in-use:

I'll continue to update this and subsequently reblog it as new versions are released.
With any new updates, just DL and replace/overwrite the old folder.
In-progress tumblr post of the past as a bit of a time capsule for myself 😄

Ch209 (p3), Offers and lies
The remaining circus members are just as clueless as he is -- actually more clueless -- so he sets off to find answers. Somehow, he figures out that Smile must be "Ciel Phantomhive", who sometimes works with Scotland Yard. I consider this an interesting hole in the story, and fans might be tempted to fill that in....
Anyway, it's too soon to think the rest of the first tier are dead, so he's holding out for getting to the bottom of this, finding them again, and finally being accepted as a true member of their family.
Tumblr media
Snake doesn't want to believe they are kidnappers, but he knows they are up to no good. These conflicting thoughts and feelings are like snakes, as they "writhed and tangled" inside his mind.
Tumblr media
Even after our earl tells him what the circus is secretly up to, Snake hopes to be reunited with the ones he was closest to. He wants them to atone for their mistakes but then live in peace and happiness.
Tumblr media
He sees joining the Phantomhive household as his best bet for finding them, especially since our earl lies about their whereabouts/fates. They are dead, but our earl claims he's still searching for them.
Life with the Phantomhives definitely has its perks, in the meantime. Gaining a basic education, not being gawked at by spectators, great food, and so on.
Tumblr media
Of course, there's the incident on the ship, with the rude ladies, but our earl and Sebastian both work to build up his self confidence and self esteem.
Tumblr media
He enjoys being with the Phantomhive household, and he might see them becoming his family. Despite this, Snake still misses the circus troupe and longs to be with them again.
Thanks to Doll being reanimated as a Bizarre Doll, Snake's hopes have come true, just not as expected.
Last part coming up.

I’ve recently come to understand that having read nearly 1000 TLC fanfics is not a normal thing to have done. So many have been deleted. What if I am the only person that remembers the long deleted TLC x Stampylongnose Minecraft crossover fic.

Ch209 (p1), Cover and title page
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah, there's a lot of deception going on....
"A sinister smile that spells trouble" oddly refers to both of them here. "Smile" (our earl) isn't smiling, but that was the name he was given, but "Black" is smiling, and we know his sinister nature.
More to come soon, but I'm still reading.
