The guy who made the AI-generated Gen 1 recomp left a reply to my thread on Twitter (completely unprompted/untagged) saying all of my issues with that release were "inaccurate", so it was suggested I post my video comparison (with the sheer volume of bugs from just the intro alone) to here as well.

AI will do all this rancid shit and more but because sometimes it's somewhat convenient people will deadass look you straight in the face and say "it's a nuanced issue"

didn't wanna do this but this was mainly inspired by my anger at how some dipshit on r/Wonderswan is spamming Clood slop translations of nearly every WS game known to man (without testing them), including Romancing Saga Using the script of a person who recently passed away yeah fuck you buddy

Credits

The English script is based on the SNES English translation of Romancing SaGa by DDSTranslation (v1.2, 2016): Japanese to English translation by Eien Ni Hen, programming by DDSTranslation, special thanks to Alex W. Jackson. That patch is in turn based on the 1998 Trans-Dimension translation by Shujin-Rik, Hakai and Musashi, with F.H. (Frank Hughes), Tamahome, Hoky and MakoKnight. Their lines were matched to the WonderSwan script and adapted where the remake changed or added text; the scenes that exist only on WonderSwan were translated from the Japanese. All credit for the original English goes to them.

SNES patch: https://www.romhacking.net/translations/2377/

Credits to no-one since the translator's moral heirs have decided that her work must remain untouched and unused forever. So, you'll soon have a new AI-only version—that way, at least they will only complain about the supposedly terrible translation.

that's not to say there aren't any decomps that haven't been touched by LLMs, but those tend to have different issues compared to the ports that appear every other day the concern isn't really it being unstable - if it matches, it matches - but rather it being unusable as documentation

Deeply disturbing police brutality against an anti AI protest in Montreal, Canada a few weeks back. At this point, if you use AI and LLM, save the little white justifications you make to yourself. This is what you align with, like it or not. williamwilsonphotography.substack.com/p/montreal-p...

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...

If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”

I just had a lot of fun programming a pixelart caustics reflection effect shader. This was far more complex than I anticipated, but in the end came out just as I hoped. Maybe I will use it in Vampire Tactics. It's so fresh when you have characters standing next to water and it shows on them.

Your occasional reminder: Never forget, just because a game is running in an emulator doesn't mean it's running correctly & even if it is running as intended, the default settings can still be completely wrong

"use waterfox", they say. yeah, let me get right on that. i hear DDT was also a pretty remarkable pest control agent that was widespread pretty much everywhere. wonder why we stopped using that

The sheer fact that people want to actively have these fixes dropped because of LLM involvement is the very definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face. And what’s worse is the attitude and vitriol that accompanies it, as if logic no longer has a place and only emotions matter because understanding that the world is more than black and white is too complicated.

They fired so many artists over this too. People who helped make the game iconic were tossed out on the street because the Slop Faucet could do it "decent enough". If you still play Fortnite, you're funding the hyper-acceleration of AI replacing Artists in Gaming
