Does Sega get a cut of boost revenue? They don't, right? That's just for Discord?

Still locked down to everyone except people who burn a server boost (read: spend money) in order to chat, too. And close to 2300 people have boosted the server. They have completely maxed out all community features a long, long, long time ago. But people keep boosting.

The discord server past 100,000 registered users last night and there's still a post in the announcements channel that there are no current plans to hire more moderators.

I can't help to feel like we're too easily duped, just a bunch of rubes who will do anything for a treat. I have to stand my ground. They can't win me over that easily. Continue producing physical media and we MIGHT be talking. Sony can lick my dirty floor boards.

If it works, that's pretty cool; I didn't think
would ever see this implemented (I also didn't
expect LLMs to exist).
However, this is not something you can PR
here, or anywhere. You sent me a nearly 50k
line diff, unasked for, completely LLM built, and
you somehow expect me to review it. There is
SO MUCH unrelated garbage here. Never
minding all of the docs and Python, you've
somehow touched basically all of the upstream
HDL, which already had MSU1 support, so idk
what in the world you're doing.
This kind of behavior is not acceptable. You are
infringing on the time and brainpower of people
by pushing "your" content that little/no of your
brainpower went into; completely unrequested.
I hope for the sake of all responsible
maintainers that you do not do such a thing
again.
Again, I think it's cool that you and your LLM
supposedly got this to work. It has no place in
my world.

The only person saying you are unlovable is yourself, and you cannot self sabotage like that. You are only denying yourself the possibility. Someone who loves you IS out there somewhere. It can't not be true.

Ryan Bloom @blazehedgehog.bltn.net · 06/10/2026

Something I think about: there are people out there that are 400lbs+ who are happily married. People with physical deformities who are happily married. Even Fox News weirdos find love. There are fairy tales about women falling in love with frogs and beasts. And the monsterfuckers confirm they exist.

You don't know that. That others have not secretly pined for you. There are many missed opportunities that pass us by out of circumstance. Nobody did anything wrong. You didn't do anything wrong. Unless you loved and failed, do not punish yourself for unknowns.

"I believe people will do tremendously more good stuff than bad stuff." Can you cite any examples so far, Sam? Because there's a growing mountain of evidence that this technology makes us dumber, less curious, and more dependent on something that pours money directly into your pocket.

i have a lot of experience drawing fake FPS screenshots in extremely limited paint programs

A fake screenshot of a Doom-like FPS game, drawn in Kid Pix Studio on a Power Macintosh. The player, a crude clip-art pirate with an eyepatch, wields a revolver (and a whip) against a sarcophagus wearing sunglasses, boxing gloves, and a cowboy hat.

Dug up some old character concepts I did for a dead project where I used this episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark as a mood sheet. I was pretty fond of them. This was back in 2017 I think? Almost 10 years ago now hahahaaaaAAAAAAAあああああああああ＠＠＠

Character in a white outfit with blue accents. They have an X shaped visor, helmet crest, and belt buckle, with black hair sticking out of their helmet on both sides to complete an X shape in line with their legs and arms.

A bulky character wearing white with pinkish accents. He has a square visor, with square shoulder pads, belt buckle, glove plates, chest piece, and squared off, dirty blond mohawk and beard.

Character wearing a white outfit with green accents, and a green cloak. They have orange hair with orange boots and an orange belt. They sport a triangle motif with a green triangle visor, cone shaped horns sticking out of their helmet, triangle cloak, belt buckle, knee pads...

Character wearing white with redish accents. They have a circle motif with a bubble shaped white helmet with a big red circle, an orb floating over it with a red band, a circular cloak with a red band, bubbly elbow and knee guards with red circular bands around them, gauntlets with circular patterns, and a belt with circle patterns. Additionally, attached to the helmet are red circular goggles, and underneath are bubbly earphones with red circles on them...

Burning Rangers is sort of a lynchpin in Sonic Team's entire history, really. When you play it you can see how it not only influenced Phantasy Star Online, but Sonic Adventure and especially Sonic Adventure 2.

The thing is, Marin's song WORKS. It can wake the Wind Fish! I think that consciously or not, this is Marin having concocted a way to end the dream, so that she can escape it and return to the free-flying seagull form she dreams of.

So it's a "butterfly dreaming it's a human" situation for her. But there's more: near the end of the game, Marin ventures up into Tal-Tal Heights. After she leaves, the owl appears and says bemusedly that Marin went to sing to the egg, pondering if she believed she could wake the Wind Fish.

Okay, hear me out here. Link's Awakening, yeah? When you're at the beach together, Marin says she dreams of being a seagull and escaping Koholint. If you get the 000 ending, you see a seagull. Now, it's always been my belief that Marin IS a full, caught in the Wind Fish's dream as link has been...

What these people are unaware of is that getting the game running is basically the first step of the journey and not the end. This is why I argue that as far as recomps go, AI hasn't provided any sort of speedup. Making a barebones recompilation was always easy and required very little time.
