I'm SlyCooperReloadCoded, a 27-year-old game reverse-engineer and preservationist who's always taking on new challenges and trying to make a difference in society, one byte at a time!

My accomplishments:

• Creating (but certainly not running or largely contributing to) the SSX modding community, something I didn't know I did until the most prominent modder said he joined because of my modding showcase video
• Creating a speedrunning scene for the obscure and underappreciated PlayStation 2 game known as Jonny Moseley Mad Trix
• Finding new cheat codes in an original Xbox game known as Toxic Grind
• Being one of two people to reverse-engineer another obscure title known as Rolling to make it fully completable, as some optional content was locked behind a secret area no one knew existed
• Creating a modding scene for the Star Wars: Starfighter game franchise
• Rediscovered and properly documented an easter egg in Star Wars: Starfighter previously only documented on ancient forums that no longer exist
• Created the SSX Sound Pack, a resource containing every music track, voice line, and sound effect from every game in the SSX franchise, available in lossless FLAC, started due to the only resource behing low-quality game recordings

My current projects:

• Home's Foundations, an ever-expanding source of unbiased truth relating to any and all controversey and danger in the PlayStation Home revival scene, often censored and/or suppressed due to its accuracy
• Breaking and Entering (formerly known as Map Mastery), a game mod series for the first three Sly Cooper games, aiming to allow re-entry of all interiors and remove dangers such as security lasers, damage planes, water, spotlights, etc.
• Ultimate SSX Iceberg, Ultimate Star Wars: Starfighter Iceberg, and the Jonny Moseley Mad Trix Iceberg

My wishes:

• Jonny Moseley Mad Trix IGN beta build and/or full retail source code
• A debug-enabled Sly 2 build with the Monaco level in it, even if that's the only level
• SSX 3 full non-demo pre-alpha build, the one that was cut down to create the pre-alpha demo
• Star Wars: Starfighter E3 build (a.k.a. Star Wars Episode I: Starfighter)
• Toxic Grind early trailer build, the one with Cave Dwellings and possibly the test levels
• Enough money for a new gaming PC with ALL the bells and whistles so I'm not always 3 technology generations behind
• A romantic partner (if you're still a virgin when you turn 30, you become a wizard, and that doesn't interest me)
• Actual bottled cherry Shirley Temple product sold on store shelves, one that can't be discontinued
• Destination Home staff releasing what they've hoarded, making a fully-transparent public apology admitting all wrongdoings, stepping down, and letting their community elect new staff

My advice:

• Facts don't care about your feelings.
• Interpreting a person's words before interpreting their intent has disasterous results.
• Treat others the way you want to be treated.
• Ignorance only equals compliance or agreement if sufficient evidence proves you're in the wrong.
• Judge a person by their strengths, not their weaknesses.
• Listen to the smallest voice before paying attention to the loudest voice.
• The best liar you know is not the best liar you know.
• Admitting you're wrong shows strength, except if you're not wrong, which shows weakness.
• "Closed-source preservation" is a term coined by hoarders to justify their mindset.
• Game developers should ALWAYS drink their consistence-tea to avoid silly development choices that hinder others' progress.
• Anyone who says "It'll get better" to someone with depression should not be talking to people with depression.
• Some people don't have a purpose in life and were meant to fail, and there's nothing wrong with that.
