Apparently VGE hid the comment I left under his video. Here it is for anyone who wants to see it, as it seems to clearly bother him that someone wants to hold him even slightly responsible for the major damage he's been doing and continues to do this scene.

Not putting any sort of disclosure in the thumbnail or the description that this isn't from the actual team that made the tooling (which this uses and is the only reason it works) and the existing Banjo port is a new low for this channel.

This port is NOT associated with us. It is entirely AI-generated. Both Zelda: Recompiled and Banjo: Recompiled have very clear No AI stances. We have not, do not and will not use AI to ever work on these projects.

Your irresponsible reporting is exactly the sort of behavior I've told you about that completely hurts the scene and the entire reason why people keep pumping out these projects just so they get their 10 minutes of fame in your videos.

So, you know that DDR Disney Mix game on the PS1? It turns out that in Japan the game's music got a 2 disc CD release, with disc 1 being the soundtrack to the game, and disc 2 is a full hour long set of music. And it's fucking wild.

Just a warning for everyone, since Video Game Slopterica keeps being the most irresponsible YouTube Channel to exist these days. The Banjo-Tooie Recompilation is NOT associated with us. It is entirely AI-generated. Both Zelda: Recompiled and Banjo: Recompiled have very clear No AI stances.

Recomps/Decomps aren’t really in my field of interest but this is one of the good ones and it’s for one of the best October games around.

AI recomps are cringe, and if companies like Nintendo or Sony goes after them, they deserve every last bit of it. They are not worth your time or energy to play, when they are made by a bunch of low-effort, clout-chasing goblins. Also fuck anyone who promotes that shit. Bunch of sellouts.

Friendly reminder to never give this company your money. Physical media may be important, but it's only important if you actually get it. I pre-ordered the Collectors Edition on 31st October 2024. Rock-It still haven't shipped any CE's just shy of 2 years later.

So this game called "Dverghold" came across my Steam homepage. Interesting retro vibes, apparently collabing with a dungeon synth artist for the OST. The art was kinda tickling my AI-dar though, so I scrolled down to look for any disclaimers.

This man wanted Steve Martin to voice Goofy in A Goofy Movie because Bill Farmer would have sounded too much like a cartoon. The notorious early jerk version of Woody in Toy Story was his doing. He almost cut "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid and the romance from The Lion King. Quibi.

Digital Asbestos ruins everything it infects. It's made a mess of the fan made PC porting scene, it's making a mess in the Sega Saturn homebrew scene (as shown in the article linked below) and it's ruining VR Chat, with them promoting worlds made of the asbestos. This fucking sucks.

VRChat is now promoting AI generated worlds. Who knows how many of these are made with AI that we don't know about because there is no tag and the developer didn't say on their personal social media?

EVEN BETTER, I JUST FIGURED OUT HOW TO USE THIS FOR REALTIME DECODING. It's not capable of decoding Pro-Logic 2, but there's a lot of games across the PS1, N64, and some SNES games that use matrixed 4 channel surround audio.

So it seems that the LtRt Matrix decode plugin for Reaper can be used to decode matrixed center surround audio, like Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES into a discreet rear channel using these settings.

As someone who respects Mike CGI as a person and the amount of the work he puts into the RetroTNK products, this is really disappointing. This technology should not be normalized because of how deep the people who are making it are embedded into our favorite hobbies.

I tracked down the very likely specific Flock camera itself. It's in Wauwatosa, a suburb of Milwaukee. Here's a photo of it from Google Street View. The GPS coordinates were in the logs
