This page will be updated to include new addons if and when they will be published.↩ Reply There is this game called SuperTuxKart that I didn't develop. But which is among the best Free Software games out there. And they have a way to make and publish addons. This is a list of addons that I made for SuperTuxKart.
↩ Reply The list will go from new to old.

Inspired by the Anderson Japanese Gardens in Rockford Illinois ( which was suggested by the user named @RowdyJoe ) I made a Japanese Garden with roughly the layout of the real place.

Long time ago one of the only games that worked on GNU / Linux was Trackmania. Since then GNU / Linux started supporting way more games. And I stopped playing proprietary games. But there was nothing wrong with channeling the nostalgia and trying to make an insane track for SuperTuxKart.

I was bored out of my mind. And just making a normal track again made no sense to me. So I made a track where you go around the whole planet and beyond.

I used to work on a Warehouse. And while I was there I always imagined to race the whole place through. So I made a warehouse track. It's inaccurate in a lot of ways. But it's fun. And that's the most important part.

There is this very popular track in SuperTuxKart called "Snow Peak" that a lot of people like to play, but that looks like complete ass. So I decided to update it's graphics.

There is this very popular track in SuperTuxKart called "Oliver Up-Class" that a lot of people like to play, but that looks like complete ass. So I decided to update it's graphics. Though I ended up making a complete redesign of the classroom. Some people find my version way too colorful.

I was pissed that nobody watched my film Moria's Race. And so to calm myself down I've put 3 of my films into a cinema. And made a racing track through it.

The game has a GNU mascot which is just a gnu flying on a carpet. But I think they were going for the famous Richard Stallman look with it. Where he used to put a funny shirt and pretend to be a wizard. I was inspired by it. To be honest since then RMS got cancer. And he doesn't look like a wizard anymore. Hope he will get better.

I was walking outside of my house the other day and decided to procrastinate away from the Moria's Race project and instead recreate the area and make a SuperTuxKart track from it.

For the promotion of the movie Moria's Race I made several addons for SuperTuxKart. And I think that they were somewhat successful. They consist of various characters and areas from the film, converted to the format of the game. Some changes also include resizing normal sized cars from the film, into caricatured versions that look consistent with the rest of the game.

It's so weird to be watching The Vast Of Night almost right after No One Will Save You. One movie has no dialogue, while the other is just dialogue. To be honest, it might seem very strange to make a film so dialogue heavy, if we didn't have people like Quentin Tarantino who shows time and time again that movies with a lot of dialogue can work fantastically.
In my review of Ambulance I argued that Michael Bay is the Lars Von Trier of action. And now I gonna argue that Pain & Gain ( his 2013 crime comedy ) is the most Lars Von Trier he ever been.
In this video I show the process of extending a game world and how tedious it might be. The video is featuring @RowdyJoe who's Mastodon account you need to follow to sign the current petition.
Lunatics! is a Open-Movie project by Rosalyn Hunter and Terry Hancock. I was following their socials ( mainly their Peertube account ) for quite some time now. And today, about an hour ago they released an unfinished version of episode one. Why does it matter? Well, they are working on it, if I understand correctly, since 2003, ( based on this video ). This unfinished episode is, therefor, 23 years in the making. My Moria's Race short-film with its 3.5 years is nothing in comparison.
Theories of conspiracy were proposed to explain the baffling re-surfacing of previously debunked criticisms of a man. A man who is by opinions of many is on the same side as those criticizing. But perhaps either those criticizing, either don't know about the man's true motive, or lost their true motive themselves, or, which isn't too far fetched of an idea, never had the motive that they claim to have had in the first place. The man is Richard Stallman. The criticism is of the man's apparent lack of conformity to the norms of sexuality. The norms which were significantly challenged, and subsequently re-established by those criticizing him. By those who had lack of conformity in the first place. By those who's lack of conformity was strong enough to establish a new conformity. A new conformity which Stallman deems not enough. A new conformity which Stallman isn't conforming to.
