Opening this to any editors who follow me: Would you be interested in a cursed article about a cursed computer game just in time for Halloween? Note: The last editor was hospitalized right after accepting it, and again after I finished the draft, and issued a kill fee. But don't let that scare you.

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.

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

Having been fortunate enough to see a lot of renaissance / early modern religious art in various European museums and cathedrals, I don’t think your average American is prepared for how horny so much of it is.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Lair of the Clockwork God is somehow both a good point and click game AND a good puzzle platformer, while warmly sending up both genres. Go buy it and play it.

A recomp you can play without fear of it being AI Bro slop. And it's rejecting those who write whole issue reports with GenAi. You love to see it. 👏

A warning to AI Bros that it's proudly human made and that bans from repros will be handed out if Claude is a contributor on any PRs

Apparently VGE hid the comment I left under his video. Here it is for anyone who wants to see it, as it seems to clearly bother him that someone wants to hold him even slightly responsible for the major damage he's been doing and continues to do this scene.

Not putting any sort of disclosure in the thumbnail or the description that this isn't from the actual team that made the tooling (which this uses and is the only reason it works) and the existing Banjo port is a new low for this channel.

This port is NOT associated with us. It is entirely AI-generated. Both Zelda: Recompiled and Banjo: Recompiled have very clear No AI stances. We have not, do not and will not use AI to ever work on these projects.

Your irresponsible reporting is exactly the sort of behavior I've told you about that completely hurts the scene and the entire reason why people keep pumping out these projects just so they get their 10 minutes of fame in your videos.

Just a warning for everyone, since Video Game Slopterica keeps being the most irresponsible YouTube Channel to exist these days. The Banjo-Tooie Recompilation is NOT associated with us. It is entirely AI-generated. Both Zelda: Recompiled and Banjo: Recompiled have very clear No AI stances.

As Xbox swings the axe, Gears of War: E-Day developers fear they'll be laid off straight after launch - and right before they'd be due their bonuses. "It's hard to believe anything they say anymore," Coalition devs tell Eurogamer. www.eurogamer.net/the-coalitio...

We rightly give Home Office ministers a hard time here for many things, but in their defence, not one of them has ever ordered the Identity & Passport Service to mail out passports in envelopes that might as well be printed with the words ‘Important identity document enclosed: please steal’.

Lately I've been thinking a lot about Terry Pratchett's "Reaper Man" and AI. He was so ahead of his time in so many ways - or maybe squarely in his time but so many missed the very obvious signposts of where we were heading. Gonna be spoilers in this thread for a 25-year old book.
