trap15 ・ A.Marshall

smileboom doesn't deserve that and also it's depressingly ironic that the fun programming toy made out of the love of coding in a bygone era was the vector for some moron to go "ok calube,, PUT petar griffen in Mario Car"

i think my most prominent thought on the switch 2 jailbreak sitch is that's a fuckin bummer smilebasic got caught up in it

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

extrapolating, i think this is a matter of communication more broadly. if infinite credits is the default main mode, you have to be in-the-know to avoid credit feeding. if continues are presented as something non-default, it's communicated that the game is balanced to be learnable without them

Finally managed to get trap15.dev up. Apparently the .dev TLD requires HTTPS!? Big encryption wins again😔But like, why does every browser (except lynx lmfao) _refuse_ to access it through HTTP, that's just insane. Also, fastcgi is a horrible pain in the ass, but at least I'm still php-free!

Painful review of the Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle on Steam that really highlights how destructive the continue system was to people's perception of arcade games. The beat 'em ups mentioned play wildly different from one another if you're actually trying to survive on 1 credit.

The thing about translation news sites like RHDN is that they represent *curation* - ways for people to make sense of what's happening in the scene, what's happening out there. RHDN's "just take everything" stance is breaking down in the face this much spam.

We still talk about you bro

AGTP Progress Update for Project srwalpha ~ Statement on recent AI projects Link: https://aeongenesis.net/news?date=2026-10-07T08:47:14-07:00

i don't think the new games do this anymore, but arcade sega mj used to have actual videos of the pro play when they won a big hand. imagine being this powerful

"Now, over the years, a newsman learns a number of things that for one reason or another, he just cannot report. It doesn't seem to matter now, so the following people are gay:" "Turn it off." "Just a second."

Guy literally got run out of his own chair & space station by a little Invader who knew the pattern needed to beat him. He's not all that🤔😉

Leaf blowers are an affront to God and all that is good in the world.

In Mario Kart Wii, asphalt is slightly shiny, reflecting a band of light ahead of the player. This is implemented cleverly by leveraging something that the Wii is already doing, allowing it to not need to use any sort of additional lighting or post-processing.

I know that it's a longstanding thing that people will try to make the website for their hobby thing look professional and overuse "professional" design language in a way that backfires horribly and makes them look worse, but I hate seeing it on hobby sites so much these days.

playing an old ass game and drawing your own map rules you can have beautiful personal experiences with video games if you simply allow yourself

stuff like this, the team's recent (& not at all out-of-character) comments re: costumes etc are bound to get caught in the tiresome DOA vortex, but they're also reflective of something that goes way beyond one game: JP publishers have become (reasonably) paranoid about upsetting payment vendors

Every Direct I pray that Nintendo will announce Urban Champion 99. Imagine 99 guys punching each other into manholes at once

anyway i hope it happens soon i should be able to see "someone made a mister core for the game dot com" and just be happy and joyous instead of immediately seeing "i made this to practice ai" afterwards and being sad. you can't even safely be a weird freak that wants to play the game com these days

"Oh... English side ruined. Must use French instructions. 'Le grille'? What the hell is that?"

I wrote down all the reasons I think AI is rotten. Now, when people ask me why, I can send them to this page. I don't have a problem with automation. I have a problem with this tool, how it was made, what it costs. Your use may be honourable. The tool is not.

This is why self-determination is absolutely vital. And it's why I despise Americans who watch something on Fox News, Jon Oliver or TikTok and start talking about "helping those people". That's exceptionalism brain rot - you're not the "world police", you're an invader, a pillager, a colonizer.

everyday you gotta see a post like "Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage decomp is now at 90%" with a crazy AI generated image attached to it for some fucking reason until you die now I guess

Games are engines that run assets; the further you get from this simple truth, the more complex your tech gets. Trying to do code when you could just make assets to do the same thing just makes for more complicated, and less flexible, code.

If menu transitions/intro animations/etc. are tedious when debugging & testing then they're also going to be just as tedious to people playing the game seriously. I pray that all developers will internalize this fact one day

As a veteran programmer I declare Computer Science a pest : quickly destroy your computer before getting contaminated : it will make you smoke, drink, and you don't want to know about the rest.
