Hey guys AI can never be alright for gruntwork so long as the tool is being sold by it's owners to the United States of America's military to blow up foreign children while simultaneously polluting low income marginalozed communities with the infrastructure made to operate it... WHICH IT IS.

Yep! It really is such a shame. Even many programmers see programing as grunt work because they only got into it for a job that was supposed to return well. This isn't even getting into the severe ethical issues of using the tools as well.

The Recomp software will then compile your newly acquired weird C code into a functional PC game with features injected from the recomp tool that was used (like a runtime). In theory these are easier to get initially running than a port but there's not really much documentation on it. (2/2)

Jade @squaggs.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Recomps/Static Recompilation Projects which are the most confusing one of them all. Accurate human readable source code from a decomp is not required for a recomp as a recomp works by converting your original binary(i.e. rom) to something like C in a non-human eyes friendly format (1/2)

Jade @squaggs.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Compatibility Layers, like Proton, your software intends to do something that requires something like windows specific features and then the compatibility layer points that in a direction that your hardware/software can actually perform and relay that back to your software correctly

Software Emulation is a task which a computer basically acts like another computer at the cost of more computational resources. This is by simulating the logic of the hardware that is needed to run the original software

Jade @squaggs.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Fan-Ports use accurate de-compiled source code from decomps to adapt the software to run on different hardware natively as opposed to its original intended hardware. You still need the original binary because you need to pull game assets like textures and models into the port's compilation process

Jade @squaggs.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Decomps/De-compilation projects are efforts done by fans to reverse engineer source code from a compiled binary (i.e. Rom file) with a goal of having a human understandable version compile to the exact same binary down to the byte or as close as possible. This is to achieve accurate source code

Jade @squaggs.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Decomps, Recomps, Fan-Ports, Compatibility Layers, and Emulation are all different things and not many people know their differences so lets go over them really quick. some details might be inaccurate and just false but as far as im aware this is how they all work with some lite search engine action

All that matters to so many people is the end product and getting that final build asap. They don't have any value for work at all just value in the end product

i cant write good oops, nevertheless i am mad about how MUCH fan-port culture has relied on AI to do what they deem to be dirty work and at the end of it they can't even really tell you how it works. aside from libraries, I can explain how and why anything in Louise works, no need to waste resources

Jade @squaggs.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
ugh i need to learn C so i can do this shit myself, these ports are just made for the sake of the "author" saying they made it. rarely do you actually good a good ass port anymore from someone who truly loves their craft and chances are its a sonic game.

wanted to check it out because f-zero x is my favorite in the series, it kept crashing and i had assumed i did something wrong with where i put my dump files. but not i made a terrible assumption that this n64 game could be ported to a stronger piece of hardware.

Jade @squaggs.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
ai ass 3ds fan-ports and avoiding old3DS compatibility go hand in hand i tell you. people that rely on AI to do their work never care to actually optimize something that can reasonably run on a piece of tech just because they wanna be the first person to do it f-zero x 3ds port, by proxy pc port

Hell yeah, FZ99 is legit one of my favorite and inspiring games I've ever played, y'all did such an amazing job with it. It really did finally get me to understand the appeal of the series and to go back and play the older games. Definitely keeping a closer eye on NST from now on.

PS6: $1500 with digital copies only OR with the new payment plan you can pay $20/month for a rent to own contract. After 6 years you'll finally own your PS6, but you can upgrade your contract for the new PS7. For an extra $5/month you can play online with your friends on your always online console!

the game is legitimately incredible. even in the state that it is now being able to recognize players at a glace because I've seen them enough times is quite rewarding. im glad grand prix still gets a lot of players even if only on the first lobby that opens

I'm sure the rest are out there somewhere but I tried my best to compile as many episodes as I could in whatever fidelity I could find them in. Pretty sure I exhausted any searchable videos on Facebook, DailyMotion, and I kinda just pulled from an existing YouTube archive that wasn't on the site yet

Nintendo's attempt at capturing the growing demand for streamed media on social media is interesting, the red-tape the hosts had to navigate seemed like a nightmare and it's surprising it lasted 8 years. Hearing that Reggie green-lit the show without consulting his own higher ups is funny though.

lost media is so lame dude Technically Nintendo Minute is not all lost, it was still available to watch officially on Facebook, but like, navigating Facebook to watch all of these dated Nintendo promos was an absolute shitshow. Many of the older episodes from 2013-2016 are seemingly lost to time...

Nintendo Minute (Aprox. 300 Episodes)
Variable fidelitySome stuff is debatably unwatchable, but it's the best I gotIt's all within a .7z archive file, be weary of how long it might take to obtain these files, its almost 60 GB after allWhi...

Meteorological and astronomical fall/autumn are two separate things. astronomical is the stuff that has to do with the equinox where as meteorological falls on a consistent day of the month for ease of use

For these here in the comments, I regret to inform you that 3-4 players doesn't support 60 fps and still is locked to 30 fps. 8 players is also locked to 30 fps which I expected but 3-4 STILL being 30 fps is rough

I remember watching a scotts stash on predicting MK9's roster where he put The Chimp from Galaxy 2 in and it grinded my gears so much I said to my gf "You know they're gonna put a racer like flame chomp in, right?" and I wasn't too far off. If you look at the racers in Tour, the cast makes sense
