I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

Experimental MSU-1 streami. #123

agg23 commented yesterday
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.

I would like to make a point real quick. There's an art trend going about, you almost certainly already know what it is. If you are an artist and you are considering taking part in it, please consider what it represents, and please consider what it furthers.

It's funny seeing people go "gamers will just forget the bad stuff a company did and just consume product". Hope you're not lumping me into all that; I'm a stubborn fucker who absolutely will refuse to buy a company's stuff if they start playing silly buggers. Take note, @playstation.com.

I've had this stupid joke in my head for the past 3 weeks, I had to put it into drawing
Theatrical poster for "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me," except the portrait of Laura Palmer is replaced with a Walkling from the game Big Walk, and the film name is replaced with "Big Walk with Me"

So, throughout the last nearly two years, I've been reading Japanese books to try and get a level of familiarity with the language. I'm still a complete bozo where grammar is concerned, but what I can say is vocabulary has become so simple now.

I just took delivery of a new bunch of books off Amazon Japan, and uhh... ...yeah, this ain't great.

#RandomGameSaturday Seeing as how we have F1 on today for a change, how about 'Formula 1'? A game spanning the 1995 season (despite releasing in 1996), it's something of a nostalgia trip to play this every once in a while. It even has the inimitable Murray Walker on commentary!

#RandomGameSaturday Here's something for anyone who likes racing games: 'Enthusia Professional Racing'. Think of it as being like Konami's response to Gran Turismo, and a very good one at that. The driving physics are great, and the learning curve is very satisfying. Give it a look!

So many franchises do this, though. Resident Evil does it. Silent Hill does it. BioShock did it. Final Fantasy does it. Deus Ex did it. Metal Gear Solid did it (harder to notice because David Hayter). Also, this ignores how much Control hinged on its story and Jesse's search for Dylan.

So, even taking into account the kinds of criticisms people might have of Hideo Kojima (and to be fair, you could write entire books on him and his issues, and I say this as someone who loves his work), if you're not criticising Sony in the same breath as you're criticising him, get real.

The look of the Ocarina of Time remake is gonna be pretty divisive. But I think they just about nailed it. It looks how a modern take on the original's art style would look like.

Reviews aren't there for anyone to agree with! They're not "right" or "wrong", they're one person's thoughts on their experience - a "disagreement" or divergence means that single person thought differently to the reader, and that in itself can be interesting.

I genuinely feel sorry for all those developers who had equipment stolen at Gamescom this year. I feel like there needs to be some action against Gamescom, the venue and the event's organisers to pressurise them into making a genuine effort to improve security for later events.

#RandomGameSaturday 'Tourist Trophy' — 'Gran Turismo' on two wheels. I'm not particularly into motorcycles, but this game's still pretty fun. I somewhat wish Polyphony Digital revisited it, because it was quite a neat game, but could have been expanded upon for sure.
