Truth be told, this bot’s been running on life support for a while. I haven’t had the energy or interest to reverse-engineer more games for the library, so it’s just been running on automatic, posting from the existing pool.

If you still want to follow this thing after cohost shuts down, the posts are mirrored on mastodon and tumblr at:

this bot doesn’t keep a history buffer, it’s a completely randomly selected face every time, with no regard for what’s been posted already

I should probably change that at some point, so we might get to see some of the other cursed faces in the collection

A note from the bot's maintainer:

The face textures in LEGO Racers follow a naming scheme of [character]_[pose].BMP, where the pose is one of [ANGRY, BLINK, DFLT, HAPPY, SAD, SUPRZ]. Johnny Thunder and Rocket Racer both wink at the player during their intro cutscenes, and the game's developers put these winking faces into the BLINK slot; the face shown above is JT_BLINK.BMP.

Presently, this bot gives all of the BLINK textures the "[Blinking]" suffix; I could hard-code some exceptions, but I think it's funnier to leave it as-is.
