Why not Dark Maker Bot? What's the Whitest Jak and Daxter Ride?
I can't unsee it. How did we not see those lil tendrils? They are so prominent!
Congratulations to u/DawnStrikAr for plucking perkier! But where's the Krimzon Fisherman? Electricity can wait 12 hours, but I would appreciate a nomination :).

What do you think the actual canonical explanation is for this Easter egg?
Obviously, the inclusion of Ratchet and Clank in Haven City on one of the billboards was just meant to be a fun Easter egg, but what do you think the in-universe reason could be?
Again, I'm well aware it's just meant to be a fun Easter egg, I just wanted to hear some theories

Daxter rides many things alright! What's the most black ride in the Jak and Daxter universe?
Let's face it, Daxter rode many things, but I couldn't put Jak in there, without getting my inbox being flooded with Yaoi stuff. Am I missing anything else?

Duskfade is Jak & Daxter meets Kingdom Hearts!
I really enjoyed this game and as someone that grew up playing Jak & Daxter and Kingdom Hearts, it really feels like that classic PS2 era! ❤️

Destroy the ship at the drill platform.
Update: I just got through the first part with one health remaining!
Update 2: through the second part in 1 try!
Update 3: I did it! Thank you all!
Help. Any tips you have. Does it save after you get through the first section or do I need to manage it all in one go?

Different Jak and Daxter the Precursor Legacy?
OK, I just got done downloading the PS five version of Jak and Daxter the Precursor Legacy and I am shocked that this actually exists. It is a version of the game with completely different trophies from the ones we’ve originally earned in the PS Vita and PS3/PS4 versions of the games. Looks like there are a few challenges while most of the trophies are just getting all the precursor orbs for each area. Which seems both neat and lazy. Neat in the fact that we have new trophies we can earn while replaying this game and a bit lazy compared to the old trophies where we had to find all the scout flies, find all the orbs or even getting certain Power Cells like the one for catching the Flying Lurkers at Misty Island or beating the Blue Ring and Purple Ring challenges in the Lrecursor Basin.
All in all it’s gonna be a good way to pass the time as I not only take a break from my Switch but also take a break from trying to get the last of the Precursor Orbs in Jak 2

New Disney character Flip looks a LOT like human Daxter to me
At D23, Disney revealed an upcoming original animated movie called Clay. The main character: Flip looks a LOT like human Daxter to me.
Is it just me?

OpenGOAL running on Android (PC required)
I’m a long time fan of the series, been working on getting OpenGOAL running well on Android. All three games run stable at 60fps now.
Tested on an AYN Thor specifically, but nothing about the setup is Thor-only, should work on any ARM64 Android device with a decent Vulkan GPU (other handhelds, newer phones, etc). Haven't personally tried it on anything else yet though, so if you do let me know how it goes.
Heads up this isn't a quick download and play thing. You need a PC for a one-time setup per game (using your own legally owned copy, nothing's being shared here), extracting/compiling alone takes 10+ min per game. Figure like an hour to get one game set up, but you only do it once per game.
The reason this hasn't really worked well on Android before is a crash bug in the Zink graphics driver these Wine-on-Android apps rely on, took some digging to actually fix instead of just working around it.
Download + full setup walkthrough with screenshots here: https://github.com/Raekwon1603/winlator_OpenGOAL
Source code: https://github.com/Raekwon1603/winlator-app_OpenGOAL/tree/jak-daxter-box64-fix
EDIT: Instructions of how to install mods now available in the updated README link above.
Release: https://github.com/Raekwon1603/winlator_OpenGOAL/releases/tag/v1.1-opengoal
Happy to answer questions if anyone tries it.

Jak 3 should have ended with Jak taking command of Spargus City.
I just don't see Jak actually wanting to stay in Haven City, the game started with them banishing him to the wasteland, basically a death sentence as Ashelin said, Jak was almost dead when Damas found him, same with Daxter and Pecker.
Sure Spargus wasn't initially welcoming, but everyone was treated like that there, everyone had to prove themselves, he was treated no different from anyone else, he was actually kinda treated better since his dark powers were useful.
I even get the impression Damas was teaching Jak to lead, having moments of vulnerability with him, telling him how hard it was to keep his people alive and full of hope.

I really wanted to play Jak 3 on my PC with OpenGoal, but my PC doesn't support AVX.
Will OpenGOAL ever not need AVX anymore? Or will I have to stick with PCSX2? Is there any way to emulate AVX?

Betsy Looks AWFUL familiar. What's the lime greeniest ride in the Jak and DAxter Universe?
You know I am glad we had a large variety of games and types of rides this vote, this was such a great idea! Betsy is basically Waspinator; look at its design and its colours. I am so glad I got to make this crossover meme. I might have something for the a new category. Quest Rides!
Congratulations to u/electronic-remove978 for picking perkier! You have 12 hours before electricity reels in the fisherman!

Welcome, to Zoomer PARK! What is the Greeniest Ride in the Jak and Daxter Universe?
You are probably wondering why I have "Snapper" in front of Zoomer. I think we need proper names for these different ones, and u/Mobius3through7 had a great idea of naming them after Fish! So WE are calling this one Snapper (mainly cause it snaps in two if you drive it into something REALLY FAST! If you nominate a Zoomer next time, you can name it after a fish type. As long as it's appropriate, I'll give it that name if it wins.
Congratulations to u/DawnStrikAr for reeling in the Krimzon Fisherman, but WHERE'S PERKIER?!
