Toby Fox fans would lose their shit if they played the Toy Story 4 pinball machine and listened while the ball is in the shooter lane.

A bluecheck gets paid for comment traction, they're encouraged to share bad takes. No discourse on that site feels genuine.

Cheap blue LEDs can throw so much UV radiation that they can get your product rejected from EU import (ask me how I know this). Aesthetics aside, I'd be curious to see what a photometer reads when pointed at this.

So far, really happy with the game even if it's dated. It's how mom used to make 'em with some surprising style.

I stayed at a hotel near the Nintendo Museum and found a guestbook, so I drew something in it. Everyone there was incredibly kind and welcoming. It became a wonderful memory for me. I’m truly grateful to them—and to Nintendo for making this experience possible.

Ok so in another episode of vibe coding laziness, Hungrybox and his doubles partner just suddenly announced a way to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Project + online with rollback netcode. Except they literally stole all the code from Brawlback and vibe coded the rest. Do not fall for this shit.

A screenshot from the special announcement made by Hungrybox where they announce that they can play Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Project + online with Rollback netcode via YouGame.Co and that he will do a special Project + Cashbox tournament in the coming days

I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

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.

I am so excited to finally have this. In the mid-2000's I regularly listened to the recordings of the OST by the composer while I thought up countless scenarios for a game surely lost forever to time. And now, here it is. In my hands. Finished. Thank you @incube8games.bsky.social

Soon after his channel took off years ago he chose to be an irresponsible voice that just reiterated the essence of popular tweets/blogposts with clickbait "We have to talk about..." titles. He also often spoke authoritatively on parts of the scene he was dead wrong on and people ate it up.
