Beach Life Virtual Resort: Spring Break - Opening and Editing The .BLE Game Files

Image
images taken from the game and from the game manual I have an itch to play Beach Life every now and then. The last time it happened, I found a band-aid solution to guests complaining about high prices. I wanted to make more changes if I could but I couldn't find a way to open and read some of the script files. There are some files in the game that are readable on notepad ( GameParameters.pis and the other . pis files on each scenario and sandscenario folder) but when you try to open up the . ble files, you only see random symbols. I've tried tools that I've seen recommended online ( Game Extractor , Ghidra , Offzip to name a few). Admittedly, I did just glaze over them because I know nothing about reverse engineering a game and didn't know what to do. I have an inkling to play it again recently, and I decided to try an idea that has been looming over my head but have been avoiding.... The GameParameters.pis file had a header containing the file name, and I notice...

Shows Rounds Up Ep 001 (Extraordinary You, Somehow 18, His Dark Materials, Good Omens)

Extraordinary You (2019) Sets place inside a comic book. The 'stage' is what actually appears in the comic while the 'shadow' are stuff that happens behind the scenes, until the next stage happens. Once a character becomes aware that the world they are in a manhwa, they start to remember the things that happen while they're in the 'shadow'. It was annoying how in every ep most of the self-aware characters are bitching about the stage/shadow thing, like pleeeease we get it already the first 5 times. But I would still recommend people to watch it because it was VERY CUTE. Eun Dan Oh ( Kim Hye Yoon ) is too much at times but you can help but feel giddy alongside her, and root for her and Ha Roo ( Ro Woon ).  Somehow 18 (2017) Oh Kyung Wee ( Minho ) can't get over his first love, Han Na Bi ( Lee Yoo Bi ) who discouraged him from committing suicide but ended up killing herself a few days after. He somehow traveled back in time, and now h...

Movies Round Up Ep. 004 (Call Me By Your Name, Elisa & Marcela, Meet Me In St. Gallen) Bonus Web Series C-Drama: Go Princess Go

Call Me By Your Name (2017) I've been hearing great things about Call Me By Your Name since it came out, but my feelings are mixed. Don't get me wrong. The movie is visually beautiful (it's set in Northern Italy, duh) and both  Elio  ( Timothée Chalamet ) and  Oliver  ( Armie Hammer ) are wonderful but a lot of feelings in me are stirred. And I'm not just talking about to urge to pick up a pack of cigarettes despite not having any for more than 4 years with all the smoking going on in the film  Oliver is a phD student and we even learn at the end of the film that he got engaged to his on / off girlfriend. Yes, Elio was the aggressor and yes, he's very mature for his age and yes, he's technically of "legal age" in this setting but it's hard to ignore Oliver's current position and mindset in life is very grown up compared to Elio. But I'm not really here to justify what's right or what's wrong, this is just reality espe...
