DK64 co-op multiplayer last night was a blast. Can't wait to release this recomp mod publicly! For now here is a highlights video on all the testing fun we had yesterday

Testing the DK64 Multiplayer Co-op mod in the recomp with @ballaam.dk64randomizer.com @killklli.com, Green Bean and Porygone! twitch.tv/2dos

Almost certain stream tonight at roughly 6:30pm US Central featuring some members of the DK64 Rando/Rekongpiled Dev team www.twitch.tv/theballaam96/ (No it's not rando in recomp)

We are SO EXCITED to announce the first official speedrun of magFAST at @magfest.org 2027! 2dos, Keizaron, Metallama, SoundDefense, and Chuckles are going to put on an AMAZING show, all to help raise money for @childsplaycharity.bsky.social! MAGFest 2027 is January 7-10th in National Harbor, MD!

The cat's out of the bag. This is why I'm not gonna be going to AGDQ this time around. Limiter Cut is making a HUGE appearance at MAGfest 2027 in January. We'll not only be reprising the original Crazy Taxi run, but we will have AMAZING bonus content like a FULL CONCERT and EXTRA GAMES.

I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

Just a warning for everyone, since Video Game Slopterica keeps being the most irresponsible YouTube Channel to exist these days. The Banjo-Tooie Recompilation is NOT associated with us. It is entirely AI-generated. Both Zelda: Recompiled and Banjo: Recompiled have very clear No AI stances.

at least dk64 will always be pure

I think they're idiots.

"I did not order this Pizza from Dominos, I simply told them to make it"

Is there any harm in using AI to work on — or entirely create — projects for the Sega Saturn and elsewhere in the retro gaming scene? Yes, PandaMonium says in this opinion column, equating such work to digital asbestos: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2026/09/24/c... #sega #saturn #segasaturn #retrogaming

I'll be at AGDQ 2027 Saturday to Thursday this year. See y'all there!

Fuck it. For the first time ever, the DK Rap in true 4k resolution, 60 FPS and true widescreen. The DK64 Recomp will be dropping Summer 2026! (by September 21, 2026) www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcrV...

Generative AI has not been used in ANY point of the process of making the DK64 recomp. We have not generated a single line of code with AI, and we're not even referencing it to solve a difficult problem. All code has been human made, backed with years of working with DK64 and referencing RT64 devs.

Meanwhile in the DK64 Recomp development backroom

This fix took us about 3.5 weeks to find and is the kinda stuff which resulted in us not wanting to give a specific release date for the recomp. We didn't want to over-promise, run into a race condition like this with some deep buried nonsense, and then run past the date Summer 2026

Donk Recomp: We have fixed (easily) the biggest issue with the recomp left - The audio engine. There's a race condition within the audio code. On higher-end systems, this would not result in any issue. However, on lower-end systems, it could do one of two things: Kill the audio or crash the game.

DK64 Recomp update: The object render distance has been EXPANDED

Specifically listing "human-led project" in the README. What could this possibly mean? 🤔

posting the oven tweet so that i can repost it here every time i remember it exists again c:

Twitch now uses your channel to train generative AI by default. You can opt out of some training here: www.twitch.tv/settings/sec...

For those who want a sneak peak at the DK64 Recomp, we have Revven streaming it today for playtesting!

Been a bit since I last posted about Pokemon TCG, but I just got another dupe of a gold rare in the newest pack (I also have a gold rare Ho oh dupe)

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

I was watching @ballaam.dk64randomizer.com stream testing the DK64 recomp and this moment sent my sides into orbit.

there is only one person worth following on retroachievements
