It’s sad that this is sort of leaving us behind now. When every cost matters in development, it must be harder and harder to convince a producer that you want to make substantial content that most players and reviewers won’t see. But giving games this depth goes such a long way for me

Celebration of AI is just devaluation of skills. In a time where it’s so hard to get a job, I cannot stand technology that trains on your hard work to make sure that you can never work again

Nic Cage:
He continued: “How do you survive AI? Amazon is a very AI friendly company to the tune of 50 billion dollars invested to OpenAI. I am not an AI friendly actor. I didn’t sign the waiver to let them use AI on Spider-Noir. It’s kind of like I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again. But that’s OK. So I got to get with these young directors who are Gen Z and they’re going at it their own way, whether it’s through the YouTube culture or whatever it is. They’re doing it from scratch and by hand. I want to get with that.”

It is possible to beat Donkey Kong Country 2 completely pacifist using a combination of secrets and glitches, allowing no enemy or boss to be harmed. Ironically, getting the true ending destroys Crocodile Isle, killing everyone on it anyway.
How to beat Donkey Kong Country 2 the pacifist way
Most enemies in the game can be spared via damage boosting through them or skipped via team-up throws or Dixie's twirl. However, some bonus rooms require all enemies inside to be defeated. These can be avoided by using the secret that gives 75 Kremkoins*, allowing all bonus rooms to be skipped.
*In the first level, enter the cabin, exit immediately. Collect the first banana bunch but not anything else. Return to the cabin, collect the balloon, Exit, collect the bunch again, but nothing else. Return, and it will contain a coin that gives you 75 Kremkoins.
To skip bosses, get a glitch called "Bonus Storage" by pausing and exiting while failing a bonus. After this, use "Funky Skip" (get near the boss, hold L+Select, then tap Right, Left, Up, Down, Right, Left. Hold Up, press B, let go of Up and B, and press Down) which will put you on the world map. Reenter the world, then visit any NPC, and if done correctly, you will be put on the world map again but with the next world unlocked without fighting the boss.
After beating all the Lost World levels (requires only getting to the beginning of K. Rool's Keep and the 75 Kremkoins) the final battle is unlocked. In this battle, the player needs to enter it, then die, and finally do another Funky Skip to enter the True Ending credits instantly, without harming K. Rool.
In an exquisite case of irony, the True Ending cutscene shows Crocodile Isle being blown up and sinking into the sea, presumably killing everyone on it (save for K. Rool, who escapes on a boat).
It seems all the pacifism was for nothing in the end.

People may not realise that there are many many combinations of C/++ code, many nonsensical, that result in the same machine code. That's why decomp is difficult and has a significant manual element - because only humans can judge if code "makes sense".

The AI recomps are an admittedly fun party trick but I cannot help but think about how much I love Skawo’s video essays that would only be possible with a proper recompilation with proper human understanding

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.

Xenoblade is a good game because sometimes you're minding your own business when suddenly you encounter Inconceivable Jimmy, a lizard who is slightly larger than average Inconceivable Jimmy proceeds to beat your ass while the best song in the world plays

I also just cannot stand the fact that Breath of the Wild has a distant past 100 years ago, then TOTK establishes a distanter past with the founding of Hyrule, then Age of Imprisonment establishes a distanter past where the Zonai all die, then the “Era of Myth” is even distanter than that

I still can’t believe Tears of the Kingdom was marketed around its Sky Islands and then they never explain the sudden Sky Islands in the lore and they’re some of the worst and most underdeveloped parts of the gameplay

Probably 3D related, but also most handheld games tend to be more saturated so they’re easier to see on smaller, dimly backlit screens

“Toby can’t just keep holding onto mysteries” While many things have been foreshadowed for a long time, they’re clearly not relevant yet. The chapters didn’t need those reveals forced into them prematurely. Clearly they’re a future focus. I swear, it’s like some are begging for bad writing 😭
