I've been working on this for over a year: I'm remaking all of Ocarina of Time's prerenders in 3D, trying to match the N64 style rather than the 3DS one. The provisional name is OoT unJPEG. It will be distributed as both a romhack that runs on real N64 hardware and a mod for Zelda 64 Recompiled.

Rare's N64 Classic Blast Corps Just Got an '100% Gen-AI Free' Recomp, with a Ton of Explosive New Features

Actions speak louder than words, personally I was in talks with Epic to get all my game assets on their Fab.com marketplace (for free) but cancelled the deal immediately. If they want slop, let them have slop.

Reason and Rhyme has been out for a week! It's a perfect game to play with a friend this weekend, we are approaching 50 positive reviews for the game, thanks to everyone who has played so far! store.steampowered.com/app/4461870/...

The hate for GenAI isn't going away. It's here to stay, whether they like it or not. Sloppers will have to adapt or get left behind.

At least the dude is consistent. He's been exactly as much of an ass for his entire life, it seems.

no one asked him to say any of this btw

N64!!! Hell yeah.

Don't let billionaires convince you slop is the future. They're used to managing & directing, not making things themselves. Of course they can't see the difference. They don't understand your love for the craft. Keep making personal, beautiful games. You've got my support 💖

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

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

No actual thing such as "Shadow TMEM" exists. No amount of weird masked loads or texture behavior as documented in this renderer exists at all. The hardware behavior is widely documented by now and it is far less complex than what the AI is pretending it is.

Please disclose the amount of AI usage more clearly. The amount of hallucinations I've seen in this codebase gives me second-hand embarrassment, and the project is deliberately hiding the actual repository just so the LLM documentation and the commit history is hidden from the public.

I can't believe it took this long for somebody to notice

this might actually be the funniest thing I've seen in my entire life

I see Epic Games is threatening to release the Epic Games Store and Fortnite on Linux. Never installing that shit. And considering they're openly saying the EGS is now vibecoded, you should uninstall it if you have it. This was also a good reminder to delete my Epic account, which I just did.

i got so many people calling this tweet fakeposting back when i made it but since this is bluesky and things have less reach on here im just going to post the photo

Basically AI allows software engineers to produce shitty code *faster* and in higher volumes which increases the amount time spent on code reviews and revisions nullifying the productivity gained from producing the code in the first place.

Harvard just dropped a study AI productivity in software engineering and it found the average increase in productivity from using Claude code is.....zero and for exactly the reasons you'd think fion.ac/jellyfish.pdf

I should buy an HDMI-modded N64...........................

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.

Wow, holy crap. The current state of PPSSPP might be the perfect example of going off the deep end with AI slop in software dev. What I'm showing in these screenshots goes on for dozens and dozens of pages. This emulator is straight up exclusively developed by Claude now.

I'm not linking it, but I've learned of an AI slopcoded Ratchet & Clank 1-3 decompilation project, that: * Lists my videos in their credits??? * Scraped the entirety of the R&C modding Discord w/o consent, leading to that server being locked down. Let me plainly state: Fuck you.

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 🧵

Apparently VGE hid the comment I left under his video. Here it is for anyone who wants to see it, as it seems to clearly bother him that someone wants to hold him even slightly responsible for the major damage he's been doing and continues to do this scene.

We're not interested in engaging a race to the bottom and will take the time that is necessary to deliver a polished version of the game. Using the extensive amount of human research we've done for the framework, the renderer and the games themselves and throwing AI at it is just disrespectful.

We have not, do not and will not use AI to ever work on these projects. We've already made it public for quite a long time we're interested in doing Tooie at some point. The game requires a lot of love and care to do a proper port.

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.

All hands on deck! Ross explains how the EU Kids Act could end #StopKillingGames by collapsing the EU gaming market! youtu.be/mQRcK9nYg9g "The best thing you can do is spread the word...The people who write this crap do not like it when the public at large knows what they're trying to do to you"

I'm tired boss From being excited about signing Stop Killing Games, to this crap I guess I'll see what I can do to fight this as an individual

We just can't catch a break, can we? The EU Kids Act is nightmare fuel, if you look beneath the honorable surface claim of "protecting kids online". The breakdown: www.youtube.com/watc... #StopKillingGames #StopKillingTheInternet

Some old Caine sketches (from ep 8) that I couldn’t finish but which now I’ve dug them out and reused them to practice painting and rendering! #theamazingdigitalcircus #tadc #caine #fanart #art

Heya! My name is Roded, been drawing for all my life all sorts of stuff! Been meaning to get into VGen, because I love artsy communities and ones that take a big stand against the current AI stuff! Anyhow, here's some of my works! ❤️ #VGenCode

So I just found out that someone fed our Beetle Adventure Racing decomp repo into Claude and beat us with releasing a recomp first. Fuck AI, it has not only left me unemployed since February but it has absolutely sucked the fun out of literally all of my hobbies. #decomp #recomp #N64decomp
