Just in case you didn't know ModRetro fucking sucks and "Automated War Initiative" is a disgusting title Also, War Crime Enthusiast Palmer Luckey is incredibly thin skinned and will chase you around various social media platforms if you talk sauce about him and his shitty M64. Worth it.

FB comment:

Palmer Luckey: Mike Fink the M64 is $230 not $320 and it is far more powerful than the Mister. We developed our own core and open sourceed all the hardware and software

And Aduril helps kill Russians, not children

Me: Palmer Free Luckey that's without the controller, not included, which is $90

And also fuck you

We still clown on you with memes
Palmer Luckey and is shit handheld emulator, along with other fascists that don't care about human life, like Elon Musk and JD Vance

I love how this tech can be counted in hours old and already stories of data breaches and doxing. But yes let’s underpin the global economy on such things cos you can’t stop the future and the bottle is smash open on the floor cos your day drunk on ai.

The below is burned into my brain and it's about as appealing a pitch as if video games involved getting shot with an actual gun.

"The year is 2030. It's a rainy Saturday afternoon. You've just finished mining 30 obsidian ore playing Crypto Crush Saga, a match-3 mobile game.
You open up The Elder Chains Online and feel a rush of excitement. Your school buddy has spent years becoming a Master Blacksmith, and he has agreed to turn 10 obsidian into an Obsidian Battlestaff, a HUGE upgrade over the Mithril Mace you’ve been wielding for the last months.
It’ll take him an hour or so. In the meantime, you log into Clash of Guilds, and use the remaining obsidian to upgrade your town hall to the next level.
That should keep your village safe for now.
You wish you could fast forward time to tonight. Your Guild has plans to go for a deep run into the wilderness in Old School Rune Chains, and your prospects of a successful run (and great loot) have never been better.
All guild members have been spending the past 2 weeks grinding for better weapons, and you’ve agreed (through a vote) to use the Guild treasury to buy everyone a new full set of Red Dragonhide Armor.
Tonight’s objective is to kill the level 128 Frost Giant hiding in the Cave of Sorrow. He has a 5% chance of dropping an Immaculate Orb of Brilliance, of which there are currently only 4 in existence.
The Orb can be used as a power source in an upcoming space exploration game, and should give your guild a great advantage in reaching distant galaxies first. A 5% drop rate is low, but you’re feeling optimistic.
In the distance, you hear a faint 'BloCkChAIn doEsNT bRiNg AnYtHiNg nEW tO gAmES'. You shrug, and join your friends in the Discord voice channel.

Life is good."

Being told that the future of software engineering is facilitating AI agents. Defining requirements and letting them handle the code, review and QA. How the fuck cal you call yourself an engineer at that point? You’re a glorified middle manager for a robot. What a miserable existence.

I find No Man’s Sky on the Switch 2 really frustrating. I bought it so I could play with my boyfriend with cross-play and I’ve basically been able to do so exactly once because it’s consistently a patch behind. It doesn’t even have the current expedition yet.

Fun fact: "Reviewing an AI made translation" is more work for translators than just translating it themselves, because AI translations do not pass the sniff test beyond the most superficial. It's a loophole companies use as an excuse to underpay translators, and nothing else.

Watching yugioh fans justify still being excited for their game by saying “this is actually what translators want, it helps them!” Just say you want to play the game, I’ll respect you more than if you just said shit that is entirely contrary to reality.

This is doubly depressing as Patrice Désilets' previous game - Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey - was exactly the kind of out-of-the-box weird design that AI could never be reasonably involved in. It wasn't that appreciated at launch, but people have come round on it. AI melts your brain.

I don't think the term "friendslop" is good because "slop" suggests that the game is cheaply made or low quality. But the reality is that these 5 dollar "friendslop" games are very well made and they are fun. In a time where video games cost 80 dollars I think this is very good value for money.

Heads-up on the Pepsiman recomp: it *does* use AI. And well, you can see what the kind of person the dev behind it is. As I said last time I raised it, it's become a race to first and the limelight that's going to wreck the recomp scene. Some of the most important game preservation work.
