This should alarm every American. Trump is shutting out independent election observers while preparing to send his own DOJ monitors to polling places. That's a page out of Putin's playbook. Our elections belong to the people — not Donald Trump.

Trump administration refuses international election monitors for first time in over 2 decades
The decision not to invite observers from the OSCE puts the U.S. alongside Russia and Belarus, while the Justice Department prepares to deploy its own poll monitors.

I've been so overwhelmed and suffocated by the slop the retro/PC port/modding scene has been dealing with that I didn't even consider user-created platforms like VRC. I haven't played it in a while but I bet it's an absolute nightmare, or is about to be.

Jesus, multiple companies (like the GameStop thing) really are quite literally making changes in order to maximize specifically on GTAVI I absolutely hate the pedestal the industry put it on, to the tune of fucking over average consumers to line their pockets. It's absurd

agg23 commented yesterday
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.

They're still shambling along, I meant something with some real finality that's easily observable by the audience. The Skydance thing is probably just what it needs. They've been on this path for years now, yeah. I don't work in them but I follow them quite a lot & it's been a gradual car crash

There are some third parties that do this too, using the same text on the box. But even if a game is available on both, if a Switch 2 cart doesn't specify "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition", then the cart is not backwards compatible.
010
Tonch @tonch.corneria.city · 05/10/2026
This is why they have so much text on the front covers. Whether first or third party, you're specifically looking for ones that say "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" on them. Those are the ones that have BOTH versions on the Sw2 cart. If a Sw2 box doesn't say that, then it's *only* for Switch 2.

This is an excellent thread on the differences between game decomps, recomps, and ports-- and even putting the ethical problems aside for the sake of argument, the practical reality of why AI misses the mark on all of them. There ARE still projects worth supporting that reject AI!

I still see a lot of confusion about what decompilation, recompilation and ports are and what level of effort is involved in each type of project. It's important that people understand the difference, as recompilation took a drastically different meaning that when it was originally introduced.

Tonch @tonch.corneria.city · 05/10/2026
Yep, what a nightmare. I'm hoping to find some source or way to tell which core is and isn't slop (which is difficult because of how many arcade games there already were prior), update_all one last time and then remove what I don't want. Maybe manually update important cores, I dunno.

Yeah I played all the way through this at some point and remember literally nothing about it, besides it trying to do the Stanley Parable thing but way worse. I don't want to shit on a small dev too much but the game was just... not good or interesting in any way imo

Emulators, decomps/recomps/ports, FPGA cores, homebrew, mods... all of it's now a big sludgy swamp drowning in trash. Gonna seriously pick a safe date and lock anything I use from updating past when AI use started, except for projects that explicitly reject AI (there are some!).

I mean, if you already have a PS5, then I'd argue buying the discs is the best way to show you are against Sony's decision. They don't make enough from the individual game sale to be worth throwing your entire console aside forever. (Or if it really bothers you, you could wait for a secondhand copy)

It also helped that I fuckin loved Dread in most other ways, whereas playing the Belmont's Curse demo I was like "this is fine but nothing is driving me to buy it when it launches"

Tonch @tonch.corneria.city · 04/10/2026
Kinda how I felt about Metroid Dread's music. But at least in that case, despite having its share of bangers, quiet atmospheric stuff is also baked into that series in a way it's just not with Castlevania. So imo Dread can get away with "eh" music, where it hurts more here.

Most of the reporting I've seen has quoted them as saying they only use AI for repetitive mechanical tasks, and don't use genAI for assets/design/etc at all I'm against LLM use in all its forms but I still think some headlines skewed clickbaitily

It's one of those things where you gotta pick your battles as it gets harder to avoid in crucial software The friggin' Linux kernel accepts AI code. It's unavoidable for me, cause what am I gonna do, go back to one of the OS companies that *sell* AI products? It's lousy, in both senses of the word

Not to be a wet blanket but I do think this is worth highlighting so people can decide if it crosses a line for them or not (even though it's increasingly hard to avoid software with it)
@MokoCreate: "Yes, our programmers all use AI-assisted coding tools during development. Moko's creative direction, design, and hands-on testing are led by artists. The app itself has no AI art features."
