I say "token", because AI usage is literally a slot machine. you pay a token per-slot-machine-lever-pull, and hope you like what you get or you roll again. They do this thousands of times, and pay hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'm serious like when i say AI is a huge scam this is partly why

it's amazing how "crimes committed by the wealthy elite must be treated like crimes" is such a radical thing to hear from a politician in this day and age

Lula: "We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate. A crime in the digital world must be treated the same as a crime in the real world. We cannot have monstrous companies earning millions... not paying taxes... wanting to steer elections."

In the Japanese PC-88 port of Ultima 3: Exodus by Pony Canyon, if you try to Talk/Transact (T key) to an enemy monster, they literally say "FUCK YOU!!" in English. Hilarious, and apparently nobody has discovered or posted about this before online in English or Japanese

working in the medical bay can be stressful but they are trying their best #pixelart #aseprite #spacestation14

well I've gone and done it now there should be almost no perceptible difference to the user, aside from maybe the images will load a little faster now

SeeroftheNight@seerofthe.net

well, I've just realized an issue with using images from other websites on my blog without rehosting them is that if there are issues with that website then they won't load on my website. I've rehosted the images I've used from tcrf, but I really need to go through and rehost all of them.

It's #RandomGameSaturday with one of the most random games I now own: Hydlide for the MSX! ...I don't own an MSX

Happy #RandomGameSaturday! In light of the announcement of Darksiders 4, I grabbed the OGs, Darksiders 1 and 2. I still need to play these but I find using the 360 in 2025 to be pretty rough. Hmm, they are on sale on Steam...

It is #RandomGameSaturday! Donkey Kong has been on my mind lately, so here is the GBA version of Donkey Kong Country. This is an excellent version of the game, although not without its compromises. But it also packs in some extra content too! Definitely worth a look if you are a DKC fan!

#RandomGameSaturday I picked up Darius Extra on Genesis during a recent sale. Originally ported by M2 as a bonus for the Sega Genesis Mini, it recieved a cartridge release in 2021 from Strictly Limited Games. I'm bad at it but enjoying it so far!

It's #RandomGameSaturday once again! Today I pulled Klonoa: Moonlight Museum out from my Wonderswan collection.

Today's not-so- #RandomGameSaturday is Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse on the NES, which I picked because it's technically getting a sequel this year in the form of Belmont's Curse. It was a prequel to the first two games, featuring Simon's ancestor Trevor Belmont. Also Alucard is there too.

last minute #RandomGameSaturday. I kinda wanted to flex this copy of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night I bought from a friend. It's the perfect thing for me to start playing after I beat Hollow Knight, and this time I want to actually play it all the way through.

ohh uhh #RandomGameSaturday it's King's Field (1994) I'm playing it English patches in an emulator. I'd take a picture of my real physical copy that I definitely actually own and legally ripped the CD image from but I... misplaced it or something.

Forever reminded of the wisdom of the PCE-CD in focusing on animated cutscenes and CD-quality music rather than barrelling head-first into live-action FMV for its multimedia swishness. 📺: Ys Books I & II, Alfa Systems/Falcom, 1989

it's kinda funny that somewhere along the way my sona lost their glasses and it's really not for any reason other than I started drawing them with expressive eyes and eventually that became more important ig I still wear glasses every day, I'm blind as heck

I am a narcissist so the #1 motivator for me to do art is to draw myself btw drawing small helps to hone in on a better design!

SeeroftheNight@seerofthe.net

oh yeah I've been working on a new sona design for myself, I wanted to create something that was more distinctly an Angel

I bet you anything underpayed employees worked really hard to get this working better and faster than the previous launcher, regardless of AI assistance or not, and some higher level asshat is claiming it was entirely vibecoded for the buzz

new Epic Games Launcher in preview - "Programming is hard. So, instead of doing that, we vibe coded a new Epic Games Launcher that’s way faster and more responsive than the current one, and has a new look." store.epicgames.com/news/epic-ga...

also re: Fortnite coming to Linux, I guess it's a good thing that some companies are realizing chaining themselves to Windows is bad in the long term but also, ew, keep that thing away from me.

there's a puzzle in Big Walk where you just have to wait in a room for 5 minutes and I think it's been my favorite puzzle so far. me and my friends played a charades like game where we mimed things with the ingame gestures and had the others guess what we were doing

Oh btw, I beat Darksiders and I've moved on to Darksiders 2, which has made a strong first impression. I highly recommend this series if you're looking for more games that are similar to Ocarina of Time/Wind Waker/Twilight Princess, especially as the Zelda series heads in a very different direction.

I keep wanting to compare them to Twilight Princess specifically because that's the Edgy One but there's nothing like the wolf transformation mechanic and they also definitely don't have TP's slow ass story pacing. Though I cannot speak for Darksiders 3 yet, we'll see about that one.

seeing that people are clapping like seals because someone slopcoded a clone of Microsoft Office while continuing to completely ignore LibreOffice... *sigh*

it's also weird to me because the appeal has always been a mixture of "wow this is cool" and "some madman did it" now the cool factor is heavily diminished because there are so many of these now, and it's not like there's any real technical skill behind any of them

Ah yes, a Slop Recomp of not just the violent equivalent of Hello World, but also the SNES version which ALREADY HAD IT'S SOURCE CODE RELEASED YEARS AGO BY THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPER!! These people are not even hiding the fact they are brain dead. They're brazen about it 🙃
