Anyways. Trans rights are human rights. To stand against them for any reason is contemptible behavior and those who do are not welcome around me, nor is anything I make for them. Fix your hearts or die.

so fucking tired of this shit

I own and operate StrategyWiki. We're very careful about who we promote to admin positions. When you promote someone and the first thing they do is delete a valid page contributed in good faith, that's usually a pretty bad sign. See User_talk:Sheeza‎ for more context. Procyon (talk) 09:52, 8 October 2026 (UTC)

I own and operate The Cutting Room Floor and Data Crystal; you might be familiar with them. You must have, somehow, missed our stance on using LLMs in any way whatsoever. Which is understandable, since you're using LLMs.
Sheeza was promoted explicitly to delete that page, because it was LLM-assisted. You got cause-and-effect backwards. They did not come after your page because they were promoted. It was identified as LLM slop, which it is.
"All of the discovery and work to figure this out is my own. But in order to format all of this data, of course I used an LLM. That's what they're for. There's no way I could have done it otherwise."
If you've seriously owned and operated a wiki and you still need to beg the slop machine to format a table, I am frankly at a loss for words to express my utter disappointment in you, and this really, really sours my opinion of StrategyWiki. --Xkeeper (talk) 18:29, 8 October 2026 (UTC)

SLOP WATCH: The Sonic Adventure recomp is vibe coded. You can tell because they say so and also because every code comment is a 4+ line short story and people who have actually done real decomp work (SPEEPSHighway) have no clue what it's even doing despite this. gj clod i mean claude #slopwatch

Code is like a lot of forms of expression in that it can be art, or it can be craft, or it can be utilitarian, or it can be slop. I have projects that are artsy and projects that aren't. Some projects are (rightfully) extremely precious about their composition and some just exist to get a task done.

Decompiling closed source software using Claude into non-functional open source software is not how this shit works but more to the point if I go to a project’s website that purports to be about this shit and see “Pricing” that’s a huge red flag.

The GenAI epidemic spreading across retro gaming circles exposes something: Making the scenes unfriendly to queer/trans/furries by giving a pass to unpleasant people and bigots in the past has left them without the networks of creators LGBT-friendly communities have access to and self-support with.

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.

GentleGhost @gentlghost.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Yeah, that's what I expected lol. The problem with most of these AI recomps is that the performance is often subpar (which is the quality of most things AI, so it tracks.) AI recomps/decomps are taking over the scene, & it ruins a great way to make games more accessible, and research and mod games.

1) This isn't about generating games or assets with AI, it's just about using automation tools for some processes like bug testing which isn't inherently bad 2) IGN should be embarrassed for this headline. It doesn't say "AI generation" as in generative AI, it's 世代, "generation" as in "time period"

The monolithic author is a sham of an idea. Anyone who chooses AI over collaboration in creative mediums is likely flagging that they're a deeply unpleasant person at minimum.

In regard to FurAffinity being at risk due to censorship: Furries are now political targets. We are getting namedropped at high levels of government. They know that we are a large, influential, largely queer, community. Fighting for the spaces owned by our community is incredibly important

The Mario 64 decomp was a labor of love from fans. If you don't put that much care into your own work, then the quality will suffer and it'll make people like me not want to engage with you nor your work. Keep your SLOP from my favorite things, you parasites!

GentleGhost @gentlghost.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

What's making me rant about this topic is the AI MOTHER 3 recomp (yes, that's a thing, don't look it up). Imagine playing a game that has a theme of the dangers of tech, and using harmful tech to reconstruct it. I would say "have we not played the same game?" but I doubt they're an actual fan.

GentleGhost @gentlghost.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Okay, real talk for a second: While I typically don't like gatekeeping people, decomp and recomp projects really, really, REALLY need to crack down on the AI grifters and vibe coders who are ruining one of the best ways to preserve older games and make them accessible. They are parasites, period.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Genuinely do not trust any decomp/recomp project until it's verified that the team behind it is very anti-AI, every single one of them is a scam because we're currently in the AI dipshit backpat gold rush of every moron dropping hundreds to get credit as the first to make a shitty emulator.
