it's good to see this laid out clearly, but i'm once again going to point to Peter Naur's 1985 essay "Programming as Theory Building"

The present discussion is a contribution to the understanding of what programming is. It suggests that programming properly should be regarded as an activity by which the programmers form or achieve a certain kind of insight, a theory, of the matters at hand. This suggestion is in contrast to what appears to be a more common notion, that programming should be regarded as a production of a program and certain other texts.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

One of my favorite moments from #vcfmw this year was when @thegirlg33k.com let me test picoide out on her PC-9821 and do some IDE bus captures. After some shenanigans with drive geometry it booted right up off the picoide! And CD works too! Thanks again for letting me crash your table 😅

OK, I have more information on the ADPCM. We have a tracking spreadsheet that you can contribute to, and the link to the test ROM is in cell A-1. You will need to run this on a CDROM-based system (as only CDROM systems have the ADPCM unit). docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Hopefully it doesn't! No worries at all. We should have checked this first, but we both know and imagined it was very unlikely Take care my friend

Interesting, it was indeed corrupted From the itchio download MD5: C5D0C46C90BDCA6187609CFDD69A45F60343BF71 CRC32: 8B750665

We are this deep, so why not? If the hash is the same as the release we have no idea. If it isn't, we know it's bad at least =)

Artemio Urbina @artemio.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

My only guess is that the old copy in your cart was corrupted somehow

Artemio Urbina @artemio.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

drive.google.com/file/d/1Cb_d... Please test this. Under hardxware tools there is a simple CRC test It should print:

Artemio Urbina @artemio.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Well, the suite not the cart

Artemio Urbina @artemio.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

That's really wierd. I'll implement an autochecksum if you don't mind testing it, so that the cart can check itself

Artemio Urbina @artemio.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

But only on the mega everdrive. Thank you, same console with other carts works fine Thanks for the report, there's nothing unusual in the code that I can see

Artemio Urbina @artemio.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Thanks, I'll check that tomorrow then to see if there's anything suspicious and get back to you

Artemio Urbina @artemio.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Yes, that's exactly what should happen

110

Artemio Urbina @artemio.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

So the crashing one crashes showing the help then (I mean after entering the option and the help is never displayed) It is the first report I get on this, thanks

Artemio Urbina @artemio.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Hey! Sorry to hear about the issue. I just checked the code and the only particular thing done in the PLUGE is that it uses shadows and highlights. Maybe @krikzz.bsky.social can give some insight?

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Hi, thanks for posting! We do appreciate you thinking of us even though we have to moderate.

Our stance on all AI generated content (Images, Video, Voiceovers, and whatever else LLM based AI gets up to in the future):

At best, they are approximations of street fighter characters as the AI has no clue what it is trying to create. Because of this, there is no street fighter content so they are not allowed. (rule 1)

Also, they aren't allowed per our source rule. As AI sources cannot be tracked, we must assume that they use uncredited sources in the learning data. (rule 5)

Finally, AI images, video, text, and voiceovers are barely any different than posting a screenshot of a google search. The level of effort is so low that we consider it spam (rule 3).

Because of these reasons, AI art and other AI content is not allowed.

If you would like to contact the moderators about this removal, you can do so here.

My Steam Deck games alone - just those I’ve got installed right now - could comfortably see me out the rest of my existence. I’ve got XCOM 2, 4 games with “Baldur’s Gate” in the title, Lost Planet 2, a pair of Monster Hunters and 90 others. I’m set. I really, truly, do not need AI-tainted nonsense.
