Reintroducing myself. Hey everyone, it's web2000. Some of you may have known me as Lain but since about December I have been evaluating what would make me happiest long term in terms of transitioning and where I want to be for the rest of my life, and I think I have found out what will make me happy

lot of discourse about slop decomps lately so I just want to give my general stance on them: i think if used right, AI can be a useful tool for doing tedious tasks that don't require much creative input (or at all) such as updating codebases, etc. but fuck you if you just make AI do everything 🖕

everyone who supports the sms moonshine mod should be ashamed. from how and why it entirely relies on gen-AI to be developed. it is a sad, sad excuse of a piece of software

SRC has been incredibly important for speedrunning history, information, and accuracy. After Elo took over, they’ve slowly jeopardized all of this. Lots of content has been removed because of their decisions. This is the last straw. If this goes through, SRC will be completely useless. Fight this.

SRC changed their terms of use yesterday, and released a news post with an FAQ. They make it sound like not a big deal. It's a big deal. The Creative Commons licence is gone. They claim ownership over the data now. Thread about what this means, and what we can do about it 🧵

NINTENDO RANDOMLY RELEASED THIS ENTIRE CHARACTER DATA SHEET IN A RANDOM BOOK???? WHAT

Harper@harpermeows.bsky.social

that book has everything displayed except for the pre-smb1 concept art even though imo that would be the most interesting thing to me. the direct footage showed barely visible WIP mario 1 sprite art! and it's an in-between state of the DK and final color palettes!

I am speaking as an SRC mod here but I want to boycott SRC so bad and move away from the website. These new guidelines are fucking atrocious

Early copies of Super Mario Sunshine had several bugs, including a fatal memory leak that would not only cause the Chucksters to throw Mario into our dimension, but it would, more importantly, IRREPARABLY BREAK the GameCube. This was patched in subsequent copies.

It’s been a couple months since the drama dropped at the end of March surrounding the apparent vote rigging to thwart Niftski’s progress. I thought I’d give my honest thoughts publicly about everything since I really would like to make sure it’s down in writing in a place where some people can see

apparently in character of that person enough for Niftski to believe it when initially confronted in late-2025. As for one of his friends, the fact he decided to sneak an alt in also didn’t initially admit to being there during the doxxing incident that involved averge and a few others weirds me out

I don’t like it when people are complicit in something and then only call it out once it’s convenient for them. You should call out bad shit immediately.

Furthermore, I don’t trust him to be honest. He was caught lying to someone when being questioned about why he made the video in the first place, as his answer changed a few times and one of his friends was caught alting in the main server to eavesdrop and record convos about the drama

Plus, him defending someone who has said transphobic shit and the N word really pisses me off cause it reminds me how he was never this confrontational about misconduct towards other until it affected him. There’s a document that claimed one transphobia incident never happened, but it was-

driven by malice like perpetuated in one of Niftski’s documents. On the topic of him, I think he’s been wholly irresponsible and has failed to take adequate accountability for his actions. He and others irresponsibly went behind people he was speaking to about this like Kosmic or me and made some-

dramaslop YT video on his channel with tens of thousands of subscribers, resulting in numerous people getting harassed. Saying not to harass someone isn’t adequate. I really wish the vid remained unlisted and within the community so that it could have been handled better by the mod team

Did they do it to thwart Niftski? I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a subconscious or conscious effort but I can’t say for certain. Considering their history with how much they dislike him for some valid reasons, like defending someone who has transphobic shit and also the N word.

It can’t be ruled out. There was a document in the works since January made to hold him and others accountable that averge and others were working on and like I said at the time of its publication, I think it was rushed and driven by emotions like anger. That doesnt mean the January document was-

First off, do I think the vote was rigged by averge manipulating people? No. They were however incredibly pushy for the vote to go through and conclude early and I think it’s either cause they knew how slow mod team usually is, or to get what they wanted sooner and guarantee it.
