Yes it even feels good on trackpad :)

thank you for demonstrating my awesome camera in the worst case scenario ♥️ ⛈️ TRACKPAD USER ⛈️

As someone formerly involved with the Nintendo Switch scene, the first major exploit for Switch 2 being found by AI is majorly disappointing. The exploit chain if it works as described is certainly simple enough to have been worked out by hand…

Mostly it’s surprising that Nintendo allowed arbitrary-code-execution-the-game on the Switch in the first place and that the fs service would have such an obvious overflow. That will probably get patched very quickly.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Rewatching Adventure Time recently and thinking about how there's no magic waiting for us on the other side of the apocalypse

Over at the other platform I'm being called a retard, gay, my art stinks and I never accounted for anything. By the hundreds. I'm not particularly bothered, half of these things aren't insults to me. Just a little glimpse of what happens when you challenge what's been made to look like the norm.

Tim Sweeney is probably the most pathetic little whiny baby I've even had the misfortune of being aware of.

Why does every bit of pseudocode for my algorithms class have to be written like golfed JavaScript Please name your variables I beg.

Another week! We got: - A bunch of audio fixes to reduce popping and artifacts - More fixes and restoration patches for UI - Upgraded from SDL2 to SDL3 - Patch for fixing env maps - High quality macOS icons and PSO caching to effectively eliminate shader and pipeline stutter!

Another long-standing visual issue, that exists for very stupid reasons fixed. New sections of a level will now can now use the current environment map instead of being stuck on the one from the first section.

Experimenting with fixing one of my biggest personal issues with this game, the billboarded particles clipping...

hacked together a quick program to put all of the unique permutations of each set object from '06 into a test stage to help with accumulating MarathonRecomp's PSO cache, had a bit of fun along the way

Missed us? We've been working on a number of significant improvements like: - The ability to resize at runtime! - Fixed issues at very small resolutions with pre-rendered cutscenes. - Fixed some bugs with the enhanced blur shader so it doesn't blur what it shouldn't blur.

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.

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.

the (human-made) Pokemon Crystal recomp has been out for months yet this still feels fucking surreal

Honestly one of the worst parts of the sloppening is just how inescapable it is. I wake up and I see AI generated slop, people discoursing about AI, AI headlines. I go to class and my profs tell us to use it. I do hobby projects and it's there like the green goblin mask. I'm tired boss.

Well they fixed space but broke water 🫠

I'm very convinced no one at Hello Games tests the Mac port cause oh my god

Many such cases
