I'll add this: r/decomps is one of the most toxic communities the past few months. Any posts that raise some issues with how AI has negatively impacted the space turn into excessive derogatory comments that the moderation team do nothing to limit.

with the sunsetting of decomp.dev, people really need to come to terms with just how much damage vibecoders have done to our community and OSS in general. encounter is a fellow dusklight dev and friend, and seeing people treat him as replaceable in the scene is upsetting.

It is genuinely depressing how quickly and intensely the retro gaming community embraced AI slop. 9 out of 10 times when I get those awful AI thumbnails (you know the ones) on my Youtube feed, it's some retro gaming channel, then you go on reddit and it's what you're all talking about here.

retro gaming has long felt, in a mainstream sense, about maximizing consumption. it feels like a natural consequence of building rapport on game library sizes, ROM counts, and platforms supported; whatever makes the number go higher. also people offloading thinking to agents have more time to waste
