Reported Dreamcast addict Tim Walz is now an unofficial Crazy Taxi character
New "Tim Walz Edition" mod lets the VP hopeful earn some ca-razy (campaign) money.
Last month, in a profile of newly named Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, The New York Times included a throwaway line about "the time his wife had seized his Dreamcast, the Sega video game console, because he had been playing to excess." Weeks later, that anecdote formed the unlikely basis for the unlikely Crazy Taxi: Tim Walz Edition mod, which inserts the Minnesota governor (and top-of-the-ticket running mate Kamala Harris) into the Dreamcast classic driving game.
"Rumor has it that Tim Walz played Crazy Taxi so much his wife took his Dreamcast away from him... so I decided to put him in the game," modder Edward La Barbera wrote on the game's Itch.io page.
They mention finding the prepatched copy on archive, but I'm not having any luck. Anybody willing to DM me a link?
Edit: found it, downloading now. Feel free to DM me for the link. Once I've verified it I'll send it as I get to the messages
Edit 2: verified working. Just to leave some instructions in case someone needs them later. If I remember correctly, the folder structure for the FlyCast RetroArch core should be retroarch/system/dc/texture/
So once unzipped, drop the texture folder in the dc system folder in RetroArch. Turn on custom textures and you should be good to go!
15I'm not DMing because I don't want to the play the game, but thank you for being kind and helping out people who do; I enjoy knowing that I could play if, if I wished.
4Absolutely! I try to do my part. So many people have gotten me to where I am capable, so I wanna play it forward so to say
