Remember when King Neptune AI slopped his hundreds of awful burgers in seconds and SpongeBob painstakingly made one delicious burger by hand

Today, I decided to dump all my thoughts about A.I. infecting the retro and Saturn scene into one cohesive article. In short, I am certifiably sick of this.

Interesting choice of music for the end of the Avengers Doomsday extended look

Guess it's not Embracer Group or constant massive waves of layoffs or endless monetization or Bobby Kotick or Randy Pitchford or overpriced PC components due to crypto and then AI or rootkit anti-cheats or lack of optimization in high end AAA games or games being shut down with no other way to play

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

Skyth (one of the devs on Unleashed Recompiled) put it best imo. I just wish they didn't deactivate their account because this thread is really good.

A thread from @skyth.bsky.social saying

the argument for vibecoded recomps are silly. it took us 3 weeks to have unleashed recomp playable without using any Al. I coded xenonrecomp in like 2 weeks. the repetitive part where the Al can *potentially" save you time is actually the easiest part. making the game an actual PC port is way harder

90% of the 6 months of development time was spent on making the game into something people would actually want to play. which involved long discussions in the team about what features to add, how to implement them, profiling and optimizing everything, testing them, etc. Al ain't helping anyone here.

this work was NEVER repetitive. there was no time to potentially save with Al. it was constant series of unique problems to solve. all of which we solved and coded ourselves, so that we could maintain the code and take responsibility if some issues appeared from it. why risk further issues with Al?

it sucks that so many of these quick hackjob recomps are releasing, which don't do anything beyond getting the game running. that's not the point!! imagine if we released unleashed recomp like that?
good recomps are getting made. they are just not boasting about it. you'll know when you see them.

just wanted to rant. i'll probably delete these posts after a while since I'm trying not to use social media. but I'm really frustated by Al ruining everything.

Hey, people who keep hopping into the comments, going “Why is games media so biased against Xbox?!? Why is everything so negative?!?”: *points* You paying attention to this shit? There’s a seemingly never-ending cycle of Microsoft trying to screw people over that we’re all too painfully aware of.
