If you still use snes9x, there's a new fork called SuperSNES9x from @shanytc.bsky.social which has added a lot of QoL improvements good for rom hackers, code hackers, sprite rippers, etc.

BSKY DDOSSED THEMSELVES because of a fucking vibecoded glitch AHAHAHA the outage was their own fucking fault!!!!
AKSHOEALLY.... Never fucking stop clowning this site's staff for being proud of their AI usage. Hahahaha

The postmortem of the *last* big outage shows that it was because they DOS'd themselves through vibecoded slop.
TIL some people claim the 😭 emoji is a reference to a pedo meme and hey what the fuck? Go outside. Get off the internet. That's not common usage. If you see that shit, don't assume it's a pedo dog whistle, assume I'm just an average millennial emoji user
The New Yorker, "Wondering why people are pining for old technologies - CD players, VCRs, Walkmans. What's behind our longing for inconvenience?"
Inconvenience? I just had to dig seven pages deep to find the unsubscribe for one of the four TV subscriptions I need, I'm measured & optimized against in my supermarket, lamps, music, games, and travel. Every service I love gets enshittified to buy billionaires yachts worth 100 times my house.
think i'm just gonna stay off of discord for a few days...
can't seem to stop fucking up in one way or another lately...
Last post: The more you learn about game loc, the more you realise that, even today, it's often a minor miracle any of it makes sense at all :/
54% - That's the percentage of translators (out of 235 respondents) who only receive minimal or no reference material whatsoever for the games they're working on.
Remember that figure next time you read a translation that sounds off in context!
needless to say, me and the crpg lady do not agree on a number of things
also dehumanizing people by calling them "console-stock" like they're a type of fucking *cattle* or something deserves a gigantic what the *fuck*
sorry we don't all have the money to own a fucking presario from just a little before 2000 to play fallout 1 "in its original form" on like the video game gods intended or whatever the fuck
god forbid playing a video game be as easy as finding it in your steam library and hitting play
i'm not gonna say that the crpg lady currently making the rounds around here is completely wrong on everything she says, but complaining about steam and gog(i don't really like gog's parent company, but i recognize that gog does alright work in keeping old games alive) is not fucking it.
Is it too early to say something negative about The Super Mario Galaxy Movie?
I don't want to spoil anything for anyone who hasn't seen it.
okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless
I think with the level of venom with which AI proponents have treated artists, writers, musicians, whole creative industries, they deserve at the very least to have that venom met in kind, and I hope it stings. I'm only sorry it hasn't happened sooner. Party's over, enjoy the hangover.
Good news! OpenAI is canceling so many large purchase orders and datacenter expansions that the global price of RAM is dropping.
“I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that,” Weir said. “I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that.” “For instance, as a lifelong Star Trek fan, it’s always bothered me that there is a presumed ‘responsibility’ within Star Trek shows to talk about social issues,” the writer added. “I just want to watch Romulans and the Federation shoot at each other.”
Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb

Incredible how a specific brand of smart people can be this dumb sometimes. You don't hate social commentary - you hate social commentary that doesn't conform to your own, and you're normative enough that you don't have to worry about reminding people you are human.

It is birthday once again.
Thank you! :D
It is birthday once again.
Oh no, I'm old.
It completely escaped my mind, but yeah, he absolutely will reuse those AI assets for the next game that features the Touhou 20 cast, huh...
This stain on the franchise gets to follow it even into the future.
Really fucking disappointing to discover on some idle Thursday morning that a Touhou artist you liked the art of has been drawing their art solely for the purposes of throwing it into the AI slopmation machine to animate it for some stupid AI Gensokyo game.

So AI is
- A zero-profit money sinkhole
- Slowing down workers who have to keep fixing its hallucinations
- Filling the internet with lies and deception
- Fighting creativity
- Ruining the customer tech market
- Killing open source software
- Destroying education
But for some reason we "need" it?
highly doubt any of this is true for the record. they said the same thing about UK and Australian age verification and i know people in their forties who discord couldn't infer were of age. don't buy it
More people should listen to @tressiemcphd.bsky.social
When people say AI is inevitable, let them know the future isn’t settled.
