Since this seems to no longer be people's default stance, it's time to make a statement: I'm 100% anti-AI. AI can go fuck itself. I will never use generative AI or AI automation for anything I create. My only use of AI in general is as an advanced search engine, and even that I limit to a minimum.

I was really hoping for a liberal OoT remake bold enough to even piss off some long-time fans, which is funny, because we kinda both are and aren't getting exactly that. In terms of gameplay, it seems like a very safe remake. The graphics are incredibly divisive, though, and I quite love that.

Sheik's identity has always been one of the worst-kept secrets in gaming, and the remake somehow makes this even funnier thanks to newly added voice acting and even more pronounced feminine features on his appearance. It's like Darth Vader wearing a plaque reading "Proud father of Luke Skywalker".

The more I hear about the Terranigma "remaster", the more disappointing it sounds. I really seems to be just a barebones effort of a port with "authenticity" used as an excuse for not going any further. You could just include umodified versions of the game along with modified ones, you know?

In case my last couple of comments got some people checking out my profile, here's context for some of my SNES experience. Over 15 years ago I created a VWF text system for Super Mario World. Still maintaining it today. You can see it in action here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2gl...

Either I've just been really lucky so far, or Reddit moderation has gotten a lot shittier recently. Within just roughly a week, I got two comments deleted for what in-context were clearly jokes (apparently I'm violent and a homophobe). Second deletion now lead to a three-day ban.

New arrivals, and @radicalfishgames.com are cooking once again with their merch! Excuse the slightly crappy photos, but both shirts feel very high quality. I love how cleverly the graphical design extends to the back of the shirts! XL size also feels perfect for me and is incredibly comfy.

Back sides of the two official CrossCode shirts from Makeship. The black shirt on the left features some abstract circuitry, whereas the blue shirt on the right features some blue and red strokes, roughly aligned in a circular fashion around the outside of the shirt.

Honestly? This past week has been so incredibly weird in my life that the weird-ass announcement of StarFox tonight was only, like, the third-weirdest thing I've experienced so far. That being said... wow, yeah, that sure was weird! What exactly are you doing right now, Nintendo, buddy?

RPG Hacker @rpg-hacker.de · 25/03/2026

I just learned that the 10€ price difference for cartridges is something that Nintendo applies even to game key cards. Not only that, but in their official store they refer to these as "physical" and never mention the fact they're mere key cards. I swear, we haven't gotten angry enough at them yet.

I just found out you can search Google for "[Anime piracy site] alternatives" and the AI will gladly respond with an actual list of functioning websites, LMAO. This probably shouldn't surprise me as much as it does, knowing that AIs never gave two fucks about copyright. Still hilarious!

I took out my old GBA that has only been sitting in my drawer for (probably) 10-ish years, and it has yellowed so funnily that it looks orange now. You could almost mistake it for an official clear orange shell without seeing its backside.

Photo of the front side of a Game Boy Advance sitting on a green blanket. The shell of the GBA appears clear orange. The buttons are gray. There's a big scratch on the display.

I still feel euphoria whenever I see someone use my VWF Dialogues patch in a hack, especially if it's a cool-looking one. Can anyone relate? Most recently, it was when I saw MM102's really funny WIP troll hack. It's looking so good!

I've been pretty quiet about this recently, but have actually been working on it pretty intensely! Now there's only a few important features missing before I'd consider that a viable v1.0. To the left is the logo I've created (not perfect, but kinda fun), to the right the current archive WIP.

A window-shaped icon with a cyan title bar and border and a dark cyan background. The title bar contains a red circle with a white dot inside, representing a UI badge. Next to it a long white line, representing a line of text. Inside the window there is four roughly rectangular shapes representing tabs, but they're bent and overlaid on top of one another to form the letters "P" and "T".

A screenshot of a work-in-progress tab archival extension. The title reads "Archive". Below it is a text field labeled "Filter:" with the word "YouTube" filled in. Below it are three groups in cyan titled "Categories", "Sessions" and "Unsorted Tabs". The groups have red badges next to their titles, indicating the number of tabs and sub groups with the respective group. The second group, titled "Sessions", is currently open. In it is a sub group in gray labeled "January 15, 2026 at 01:37:30 PM". This group, too, is currently open, and within it is a gray rectangle with a play button icon and the text "YouTube", representing an archived tab.

For me, the desert in Metroid Prime 4 seems to be the Other M situation all over again, where everyone I see absolutely hates it, yet I actually ended up loving it. It's one of the worst positions to be in, because it's incredibly exhausting to love something that's universally hated on.

Holy frickin' frick, Metroid Prime 4 is ACTUALLY really and I played it for multiple hours yesterday and it's phenomenal so far, like holy poop. The year challenges me with yet another GOTY contender this close to the end. What a heck of year!

RPG Hacker @rpg-hacker.de · 04/12/2025

So far, I still haven't held Metroid Prime 4 in my own two hands, so I still don't believe it actually exists. I expect Amazon to show up with a prank package at my doorstep every minute now, only containing a silly message by Shinya Takahashi and confirming it has been a hoax all along.

Pixelart is it's own style and even "unclean pixelart" as seen here just has a different visual impact compared to highres 2D. Even if it's not clean, it might have a bigger appeal to many. Actually... let's turn this into a little thread so I can talk more about this.

Oh, you thought I was joking? Thought I was making a funny, didn't you? Well, I was dead-serious. And I'm WAY too invested in this! Event spent literal hours trying to get a dark mode to work. On the plus side, I'm FINALLY learning some CSS and JavaScript basics!

A screenshot of some website UI.

The header on top reads "Tab Archive". Below that a label reading "Filter:", and below that a text field reading "Filter...". Below that there's a collapsed group in cyan reading "+ Categories [4]", and below that an expanded group in cyan reading "- Sessions [4]". The sessions group contains a nested gray group reading "- 21. November 2025 um 21:36:48 [4]". Inside this nested group there's a list of tabs containg a fav icon and a title. This group also has a button in its top right corner featuring an icon of a red trash can.

So I've just found out that SoulEye, composer of the VVVVVV soundtrack, has become an AI bro. The last two years of uploads on his YouTube channel are nothing but AI slop, with both images and (I'm pretty sure) music generated by AI. Man, how incredibly disappointing... I used to love his music. 😭

Maybe it's time to finally boycott Google as a search engine and move to something else. I'm already not too crazy about everyone and their moms trying to shove AI content into my ass, but putting the new "AI Mode" button to where "All" used to be is just hostile as fuck.

what could possibly go wrong

4 panel comic:

P1: Closeup of a middle-aged guy, from the chest up. He is dramatically lit from above by a spotlight. In his left hand, a cigarette from which curls a tendril of smoke.

He speaks to an unseen interviewer: "back in the '90s, we created the game BUBSY 3D"

P2: a high shot, looking down on the guy, He is sat in a non-descript chair, his right arm draped casually over the back, while he has his right leg draped over his left.

He continues. "It was not good. not good..."

P3: Extreme closeup of the guy's face, focused on his left eye, wide and intense.

"But we did not listen to the critics. Foolishly, we went ahead with a sequel-- BUBSY 4D"

P4: an apocalyptic scene, as a multi-faceted Bubsy head Evangelions out of the wreckage of a city in a beam of intense light, rubble rising around it. The clouds part. It is the end.
