I had fun with it, it gets really difficult though. Tell you what, next time I stream this, whenever that may be, I'll make a Challenge Stream out of it. I'll make my own map and then finish the game. This game seems like it lends itself to that.

Had a few people hitting me up about this so in case anyone hasn't heard yet, it has now been confirmed that the SNK guest character in the canceled Capcom All-Stars fighting game was going to be K'

Not only an incredible talent, but a rare talent who also thought it was funny to just voice random memes every once in a while

Unbelievable loss. An amazing talent, and just a really, really good person. www.instagram.com/p/De8RFy4pyov/

IT IS DONE. These challenge streams are something I wanted to do even before I started streaming so this idea has been in my head for quite some time. Couldn't have done it without your support, thank you so much!

Reminder that Youtube is not a museum and that your favorite channel could be gone at anytime. Back up videos locally if you can.

We just lost a major YouTube channel that contained a ton of archived Satellaview footage and many many many other japanese tv shows

I see the pendulum is swinging back to "Capcom is Stupid" again.

ultimateframedata.com/sf6/ it's really bad. UFD just had gifs of SF6 moves with hitboxes visible. they're claiming that data extraction like this is against their TOS. probably older games are safe but if they keep pressing this with SF6 i can't imagine many sites will want to host capcom resources

Part of my literal job is to fly out to physical game studios to rescue and recover historical materials that might be endangered and put them in a permanent archive. @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social is a 501(c)3 publicly funded to do that, my DMs are open, and I'm free for the next couple weeks...

Oh hell yes! Loving this!

Cygames this is INSANE. Reimbursing travel and lodgings for everyone attending the Uma concert is fucking nuts.

details leaked. this vulnerability is a full unauthenticated unconditional remote code execution exploit against any service running on a PHP version from 5.4 until latest yeah if anything deserves CVSS 11, this is it. this is CATACLYSMICALLY bad.

This is another reason why AI losers have gotten into retro decomp/recomp projects. Nobody wants to play AI slop games, so they have to reinforce the value of AI by producing something desirable, which in this case is just repackaging the work of actual talented people.

zagawee@zachisagardner.bsky.social

just wanted to share something i discovered the amount of games released in 2022 compared to this year has increased by 77%. I use 2022 because that marks the last year before AI really took over the internet whats crazy to me is that the amount of games with ZERO REVIEWS has ALMOST TRIPLED. ZERO?

Business Insider confirms it: Amazon has warehouses of GPUs that can’t be installed, and is buying them so far in advance that a supply chain team said they “didn’t have a clear forecasted path” to installing them. www.businessinsider.com/amazon-220-b...

Ed Zitron@edzitron.com

Free newsletter: I estimate that ~50% of AI chip sales - $200bn to $300bn+ - are sitting in warehouses, with NVIDIA selling hundreds of billions of GPUs years in advance. Data centers take way longer to build than hyperscalers are leading us to believe. www.wheresyoured.at/wherere-all-the-ai-chips/

It's NES day, and also my 10th wedding anniversary. No I did not plan it that way. If you wanna get me a gift, all I want is for you to watch this if you haven't, it took me 15 years to make.

Video Game History Foundation@gamehistoryorg.bsky.social

41 years ago today* the Nintendo Entertainment System was introduced, in a wild, risky, and completely unlikely way. If you haven't seen our documentary yet, put aside 45 minutes and see the NES as you never have before. *We can't substantiate this date, It's Complicated but probably correct(ish)

I understand that video games are an escapist fantasy for a lot of people, but who the fuck wanted to be Kevin Sorbo?? I don't wanna be Kevin Sorbo!!

In a LONG interview with Denfaminico Gamer, Masahiro Sakurai said the following about AI-made games: • There are too many Steam releases, and AI makes it worse. Most are “titles that can’t eat”, i.e. unprofitable. • Shoddy AI-made games mostly just reproduce systems existing in other games. 1/

What's the point of having them if they don't drive you FUCKING MAD?

Fighting Medusa Heads in a Castlevania game with no contact damage is like seeing an athlete who was never the same after that life-changing injury years ago: Depressing

Got past The Icy Lake but the Hall of Pane was too much. I will check the Saturn tomorrow and see what can be done there but we might go back to composite. Be back tomorrow night.

Please ignore the MTL release of Meremanoid that came out today. We have had a hearty band at work (Chapu, Popi, Mr. Nobody, Misty, Shentok and I) working hard on an all-human patch. Fully playable in English, in it final editing pass now. Popi provided these screencaps today. More news later.

Chapu@chaputranslations.bsky.social

So, "Schrödinger no neko" isn't up your alley? How about a fully 3D JRPG about an amnesiac siren? This is "Shinkai densetsu Meremanoid". Already hacked the thing, got a half-width font, script dumped, the whole kit and caboodle. Ping me if you know Japanese and want to translate it!

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN for making Mareepathon 2 a truly absurd event to remember. And a hearty congratulations to those who have entered THE HALL OF FAME! I'll probably staple this onto the end of the VOD when it goes up on Youtube or something? But for now, enjoy.

honestly re: reverse engineering it just kinda blows to see your fun hobby get completely blown up by AI shit and people who love the slop machine because it's faster. AI art and shit at least *most* people correctly loathe + shun it, but too many people think that code isn't similarly creative.
