This is how you do things *properly* - get a real artist to draw the artwork and take pride in its creativity. Well done @thalamusdigital.bsky.social and @wiloverton.bsky.social

Thank you all for the feedback here. GenAI for coding is indeed bad as well. Coding is also a form of art (algorithm, games); There's concerns regarding learning in the future (both for future engineering and as human beings) as well the unsustainable method that companies are using right now.

Every person I know that has played Demonschool has loved it. Plus, this quote by its creative director is all you need to know to support it.
A quote from Brandon Sheffield of Necrosoft Games. In it, he dunks on Generative AI in a pretty impeccable way.

I am, unsurprisingly, annoyed by someone trying to flog a GenAI tainted Manic Miner. It’s like wiping your arse on the Mona Lisa.
spooky.punchingrobots.com
You don’t need to GenAI Manic Miner, put it down.
I am tired of even having to think about genAI on a daily basis. Right now, just 24 hours not having to contemplate it in any capacity seems positively dreamy. I also don’t really want to get into that funk this sort of thing can get you into where I end up all “look at this, what is this absolute shite?” either because the sheer volume of shite seems more than any one human can possibly take right now, it could all too easily become an all consuming thing.

Here is a quick playthrough of SimCity SA-1. I plan the city with simulation paused and then resume simulation when done. The experience is pretty smooth - you see your city evolving at real time organically. The feedback is instant and organic.

More Mitch Hedberg, reading:

I finished a 1CC of Gradius the other day, and the end credits just read "by Konami". I guess that was the one credit. I don't know what I was expecting. Maybe next time I'll get a 2CC and find out who made the graphics.

Diddy Kong Racing: #Nintendo64 Original vs our WIP #SegaDreamcast Port It's been so long since I played on N64, and I've had my head down so deep in the code, fighting for every 0.1FPS win, that I had started to lose sight of how our port even compares... Reality check. #gamedev #retrogaming

Physical media is important because that's how you get art like this
It's the cover for a bootleg (though I don't know if there was ever am official release) of ROBO Vampire, featuring a painted Robocop shooting with his left hand and grabbing a mustachioed Chinese vampire with his right hand. A helicopter blows something up in the background. On the left there's a bar that says MARTIAL ARTS vertically in gold (over black), at the bottom there's the robo vampire logo in blue and grey with two different fonts, there's a gold dvd logo next to that, the logo for eden entertainment right above it, and two weird screenshots of different sizes in the upper left.

Sharma, whose hobbies include masochism, weird natalist bullshit, and collaborating with other execs to sort of just wing their way through the wanton destruction of 3,200 people’s livelihoods, will be one of three heads of a task force designed to “assess the economic impact of new general-purpose technologies, including artificial intelligence, to inform the Federal Reserve's policy judgments.”

Frog was very upset when he saw his friend in the hospital bed. “Toad, why would you inject yourself with kroakadil?” Frog asked. “I just wanted to feel something Frog.” whispered Toad “Well, now you do not feel very good.” said Frog. “This is true.” Toad glumly agreed.

Just a reminder that you can download the entire Neo Geo romset in an hour and emulators for it have been basically perfect since the DOS era. You can run Neo Geo games on anything with a processor and input/output ports.

I saw very little Neo Geo+ coverage this week bothering to mention the man who owns SNK, and I think that is a failing. The retro gaming scene continues to shy away from any uncomfortable realities that get in the way of nostalgic good times. It can and should be better than that
readonlymemo.com
If you're going to hype up the Neo Geo+, at least admit you know about all the blood
Also this issue: RetroAchievements come to the MiSTer, and a PS1 cross between Zelda and Tomb Raider gets a translation.
