As billionaires, the wealthy class and ai tech bros try to privatize knowledge and erase human curiosity, another form of resistance is to stay curious. Do your own research. Do not be spoonfed your ideals or opinions. Use your library. Think for yourself. It's very important that you do.

Heads-up on PPSSPP. Info in the thread on the last versions that don't contain it. The dev has gone off the deep end into Claude is my best friend territory.

Dude, this is genuinely so fucking disappointing. Nearly all of the commits I’ve seen for PPSSPP involve generative AI from Claude in the past week alone, and their entire newest dev blog is almost entirely written by Claude. Almost half of the commits in the past 3 months use Claude for AI code.

Well dang, it would appear my stuff was stolen from my vehicle while I have been 1500 miles away and unable to afford repairs. That laptop included a number of prototypes I had never backed up anywhere, including tons of VFX prototypes from when I worked on Manifold Golden.

This is what I'm talking about when I bring up that genAI bots are making it impossible for an open web to actually exist. It becomes expensive, a pain, and domain providers like cloudflare are profiting off both the people making bots and the people who don't have the tech skills to fight them off

Capcom Engineers are building tools that aren't just Game Industry leading, but Tech Industry leading. And making it open source. But this will neither get coverage or apprication. Instead people will blindly fall for clickbait.
So the fastest JSON serializer for .NET now is developed by CAPCOM as part of their game engine that powers Resident Evil / Biohazard

I did not see that coming lol

https://github.com/CAPCOM-TD-OSS/REDoxThey’re also doing their own memory-management work underneath this. Instances are managed in 64 KB pages, with page reference counting plus cache and GC optimizations. The goal seems to be reducing the cost of managing huge numbers of objects while improving locality and avoiding some of the fragmentation problems they’ve had before.
This also makes CAPCOM’s REDox project much more interesting.

REDox is their open-source .NET serialization/data library, with JSON, CBOR, MessagePack-style structured data handling, lazy decoding, streaming, compact token storage, etc.
At first glance it just looks like a standalone .NET library.
In context, it looks much more like the kind of infrastructure they can write and test normally in C#, then feed into this RE:Runtime / RE:C++ pipeline and ship as native engine code.

Frogger (PS1) (1997) 1/3
Frogger's back in full 3D and he's learned some new moves like a croak, a big hop and how to properly use his tongue (it's important).

The game also has a slightly more dynamic camera when the need arises, as well as the ability to rotate the view by 90 degrees (blasphemous). It starts with the classic level, hopping across the busy highway, dodging cars and trucks and arriving at a river with groups of turtles that sneakily sink into the water just to mess with you, as well as lots of tree trunks, creating temporary moving platforms between you and your colorful froggy friends that explode in a hundred little triangles when you hop on them to "rescue" them, but we all know Frogger is really an immortal frog from the clan McFrog, and ultimately there can be only one!Frog guy shown here hopping over some metallic plates forming a bridge over a lava pit with flaming rocks flying over the platform.Turns out Frogger is surprisingly light, being able to hop on clouds, the road and houses visible below. He's waiting for a big beaked bird to fly past so he can hop onto its back and resume his journ... oh wait, he's dead isn't he... That's why he's able to hop on clouds... he's in frog heaven.A zoomed out hacked camera of Big Boulder Alley, a sandy canyon level that mostly consists of a serpentine path going up a cliff while low-poly boulders keep rolling down like some kinda Jump Man level, though this here is a Jump Frog.

No problem! I wasn't sure, watching it through your previous Bsky post, if it was meant to be Unlisted still and I was being sneaky having access to it, but seeing Part 3 go public while Part 2 still only kind of was made it clear that was just a mistake.

Watching 'Boris and Natasha: The Movie' (1992), which I'd been meaning to for a VERY long time and never got around to until now. For some reason, I was just expecting a cynical IP exploitation, but it really does look like they went for the proper spirit! I hope it lasts through the whole film.

ok so. street fighter 6 has an all time peak playercount of about 70k people. which is extraordinary in fighting games, like that’s more than double strive’s peak and that game was a huge success. so riot’s plan was to make a game 10+ times more popular than Street Fucking Fighter. lmao.

I frequently see "AI" boosters implying that LLMs are simply an innate and superior part of coding now, inescapable, and that literally all programmers agree with them. And, well. That, too, is a form of propaganda
Looking at my software peers in 2026 I see fatigued faces, I see frustration, and I see a lot of people looking for a way out of an industry that seems poised on the brink of collapse. LLMs are being pushed on us at every turn, most people seem at best frustrated by them, and ultimately they seem to appeal most to people who see the production of software as a purely mechanical means to an end. They are antithetical, however, to the idea of software as a craft, or something requiring both initial and ongoing care. As an expression of the soul.

Also it ignores Judgment (a fighting game doesn't fit either category), the other HoD from XBLA/PSN (I don't know how to quantify that one), and the Lords of Shadow games (also kind of their own thing TBH)

Apologies for all the abbreviations, space is short Also lining them up like this ignores that between SotN & Order, the only games from that Classicvania list were Chronicles (remake of earlier X68000 game), the Adventure Rebirth, the 64 games (if they count), maybe Legends (dunno release date)
