"Volt egy olyan bírósági végrehajtó, aki nemi szervről készült fotót kért a visszaélésért
Egy jelentős személyről volt szó, akit felkért egy hölgy ismerőse, hogy egy másik végrehajtó irataiba nézzen bele, ami önmagában visszaélés. Ő csak azt azzal a feltétellel vállalta volna, hogy ha megmutatja a nemi szervét.

Voltak olyan információik, hogy ha valaki kívülálló részt akart venni egy ingatlan árverésén, és előtte meg akarta nézni az ingatlant, akkor ott két markos legény várta, és megpróbálta elrettenteni, ami a végrehajtás menetét megakasztotta. Bizonyos végrehajtói körök harcoltak egymással, konspirálva küzdöttek, az ingóságok árverései sokszor ugyanaz a bennfentes kör jelent meg, elég jó háttérinformációkkal. Azt is látták, hogy a bírósággal nem megengedhető hangnemet ütöttek meg."

Man tells AI to build project. AI dutifully builds the project, including the README that insists that no AI was used. 😫
What's in it

It plays like the original. Since 1.1.0 Encore runs on its own engine, written from scratch from the DOS game's code: physics, table rules, dot matrix, music, intro and menu. Nothing is emulated. While building it, every frame was checked against the original program running side by side, so the tables behave exactly as they did in 1994. There are a few small changes on purpose, all listed in differences from the original, and the engine notes explain how it was made.

Remastered artwork, not an upscale. Every playfield, flipper, ball, slide and banner was redrawn by hand at high resolution, following the original's shapes, colours and lamps. No filters, no AI. Because the new pictures line up exactly with the old ones, F10 swaps between them at any moment, even in the middle of a ball.

The redrawn pictures aren't in the download. The first time you run the game it offers to fetch them (about 31 MB), and later it offers updates when there are new ones. Say no and you get the original pictures.

Balanced sound. The same music and sound effects, halfway between the 1994 sound driver and a smooth modern player: less metallic edge on the samples but still crisp, stereo that's a little easier on headphones, and no clicks. AUDIO in the options (or the 0 key) switches back to the original sound.Hi, I'm Pedro. This is a hobby project that I've been building with AI (code and image generation). I stitch and align every image myself, decide how things look, sound and feel, Claude writes most of the code, and then we go back and forth over all the little details until the ball moves exactly like it did in 1994.

Most of it gets made in the gaps between everything else, especially during the naps of my baby daughter, the real boss of the project, who decides when development starts and mostly, when it stops.

If you played Pinball Fantasies back then, I hope this feels a bit like coming home. And if you didn't, welcome to Party Land.

recompiled Unreal / Second Reality / Crystal Dream II / Stars
category: code [glöplog]
 
I thought some here might like to see these old demos running in real time again. I've tested on my desktop and mobile browsers, they work pretty well.

https://treylorswift.github.io/demoscene-recomp

The originals were made to run at 70hz which is kind of an unusual rate these days, so they look best if you can force your monitor to 70hz or 140hz or higher. Viewing at 60hz is ok but not great because it must consistently drop frames to maintain correct sync between graphics and sound.

There is an "AI Remaster" of Crystal Dream II which will run at whatever refresh rate and resolution you use, with some routines expanding to fill beyond the original 4:3 aspect ratio. This is obviously a reinterpretation that tries to stay true to the original while bringing a few modern aesthetic choices. You can hit the "o" key while it runs to toggle between the original and remastered version while it plays.

Mármint értékelem a (feltételezett) szándékot, hogy bemutatjuk, mennyire parazítikusan elterjedt ez a szar, de pl. különbséget kellett volna tenni aközött, hogy te használod aktívan és szándékosan, vagy valaki más tolja az arcodba. (A generatív vs ML összemosása is elég mellélövés.)

I am helping you. To claim that a sovereign country is a member of an international cooperation (Carpathian Integration) without prior consultation or consent of the country concerned is completey unacxeptable. Just to give you an example: Hi, we have formed a football team in the next village. We don’t know each other, but you are in it, and you have to bring the ball.

Not really, there's usually an explicit voltage text like "DC 9V" or "DC 12V", plus a polarity diagram to mark which part of the connector is positive. In lieu of it being on the outside, it might be on the inside, but even that's not a guarantee.

"Bitfinex'd" is called "Bitfinext" at 00:43:44, and I also vaguely remember that "Morena" was transcribed as "Raina" at some places...? Still appreciated the movie as said, great work! Just feel like the subtitles need a second pass 😊

It's English; it happens at 00:42:35 in the film. There are a few of other examples; at 01:05:40 Mr. Davies to your question "all of crypto can't be a scam, right?" says "I don't like that word, 'can't'.", but here's what the subtitle is:
