This is a pinned Tweet I'll reply to, over time, for the purpose of saving important Bully-related stuff I've posted, this way there's no need for scrolling through the entire account's history. 🙃 (I might save other non-Bully stuff, too.) Never-ending Work In Progress.

Random flex but the PS2 article of BULLY on @CuttingRoomWiki has recently been turned into a featured article. It doesn't mean much other than that YOU SHOULD READ IT. 😇 tcrf.net/Bully_(PlayStation_…

Bully is a rushed surprise release from Rockstar Games that changes up the usual violent setting of their open-world games and puts players in a rather relatable high school setting where Jimmy...

Can anyone who speaks German confirm this? In the BradyGames guide, subtitles show that one of Bucky's lines in The Big Game was trimmed in the final. ("with a cherry bomb." was removed) 1/2
A screenshot of BULLY, showing Bucky talking to Jimmy in The Big Game. Subtitles read: "Here's a ball we've rigged with a cherry bomb. Get to the shed by the field and swap it for the real game ball."

The final subtitles for all the languages seem to have been updated to trim it out, except German, but I'd like someone to confirm: "Hier ist ein Ball, den wir mit 'nem Kanonenschlag bestückt haben. Geh in die Hütte neben dem Feld und vertausche ihn mit dem echten Ball." 2/2

BULLY community going from hardly any documentation to full-on AI slop overhauls like the skate thingy, PS2 ports and the like. I think I preferred it with barely any documentation. At least that's readable and public. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ AI: In moderation. Vibecoding: Straight to hell.

Some people will make arguments like "oh but it's like when calculators... or when computers...", except I WANT to code. I WANT to edit videos. I WANT to draw... etc. I want the boring stuff automated, not the creative stuff.

20th Anniversary of BULLY coming up, so let's try not to celebrate it with slop. I'd MUCH, MUCH, rather nothing. 😅

Project Y and BULLY Online are not allowed based on these rules. The latter was always obvious to me, though everyone thinks it was because of paywalling. The former, welp. Project Y cancelled soz

The first two rules are pretty broad and still hinge on assuming good faith, but otherwise could be worse IMO

Can we get a non-GTAV-related leak next before R* inevitably improves security for pretty much everything else as a result? Would it be too much to ask for even 1GB of BULLY's source? 😭

TCRF is currently down because people like @forwardsecrecy are the exact kind of people Jimmy despises, and have nothing better to do other than DDoS a community-service website. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's always the Grok users. With a checkmark.

Beloved video game wiki The Cutting Room Floor goes offline amid DDoS attack after someone was banned for trying to scrape the site with AI. "This DDoS seems to have been triggered by someone using Claude Code and getting banned from the site for it, intentionally evading that ban to make up a fake story about their LLM wiping their entire OS, and then firing off multiple abuse reports to our host," states a message on TCRF's homepage. "It may not surprise you that this guy has some interesting thoughts on consent, or that he has multiple blog posts in which he brags about poisoning LLMs to win championships or flooding a social network with spam to give himself 1,000,000 followers," continues TCRF's message. "Why are AI people always like this." kotaku.com/ddos-attack-break…

One Percent Better Project

A mod aiming to polish the lighting system and fix related or miscellaneous model oversights to improve the overall visual experience but be as close to vanilla as possible. In short: make the game 1%

Bully: Scholarship Edition's manual contains a Beta screenshot showing the school's entrance with proper lighting. In the final game, there are no shadows at all aside from a tiny spot on the left.

I can't lie, I'm disappointed by the short GTA 6 leaked clip. It highlights one of the problems I have with Rockstar's game design. They just put things for the sake of it. Why? It looks identical to Bully's basketball, which came out *TWENTY* years ago!

"no one cares", "it's just an extra" "can't expect 2k mechanics"... EXACTLY! Then why waste time putting it in when even you don't care and know you won't play? 😭 I said that in the 2nd tweet! Stuff like this delays the game, and then you complain about it! Hypocrites.
