So apparently the latest "Archipelago moderators are cooked" arc is mods literally warning a person who was legitimately trying to figure out if some AP worlds use genAI without disclosing it Kinda makes me glad I rarely invest any energy in that ecosystem

Cross off another series I never had time to get into in the first place, which has just decided to render itself irrelevant

About a week and a half ago, the Quake pak Tremor emerged out of nowhere. I'd first heard mention of this years ago and it aims to be a vanilla-adjacent experience, so it's time to revive Better Quake Than Never for a few days. watch.cney.stream

Apparently the guy pitching for the Mets today is also an AI bro. The baseball "analytics" website he created has a "built entirely by AI" banner on its About page. Considering his mysteriously sparse MLB career statistics and his 10.13 ERA last year, that makes 2 things he's completely inept at

Next on the agenda for Long OverDOOMed is Shadows of Chronos*, a WAD I have been curious about for years. * Yes that is misspelled (it should have no h), but that is seriously how the text file spells it, repeatedly watch.cney.stream

lol wow this uservoice has grown by like 5k votes and 2k comments since yesterday Twitch may have stepped on an incredibly obvious landmine (and will probably still ignore the damage)

Amazon stop trying to render Twitch completely irrelevant at every fucking moment challenge (impossible)

Zach Bussey 🍁@zachbussey.tos.gg · 5d ago

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

UZDoom will never. /NEVER/. Have a single byte of vibecoded slop in it I fucking promise

John Linneman@dark1x.bsky.social · last wk.

It really sucks when someone you were following for their work in the retro scene turns out to be big on AI and using it in all their projects. That instantly kills any and all interest in anything they ever make.

It sure is sad to see a streamer who plays a lot of interestingly obscure games, play a game by a known fascist piece of shit, and have a chat full of fascist apologist pieces of shit that he refuses to moderate

As someone who fell for his most recent interview with Adrian Carmack, I'm so glad there are folks on here being loud about how much of a rancid scumbag Jesse Petrilla is. We cannot allow guys like this to slither into our communities unchallenged.

Anatoly Shashkin💾@dosnostalgic.bsky.social · 5mo ago

It is such a shame that cool people (I'm assuming unknowingly) keep showing up for that racist Jesse Petrilla's YouTube channel.

It should be known, for those interested, that A.I was involved in the creation of this recomp But if you're not a fan of Claude then it might also interest you to hear that there is also a non-AI #decompilation in the works, that's currently hovering around the 40% mark github.com/Drahsid/misc...

Man... The Wayfarer has some really interesting maps (and good music) and I really enjoyed the first 2/3 of the WAD. Secret-hunting in the secret level was really cool. Then the last 3 maps were nothing but insufferable and interminable slaughter arenas, which soured me on the entire wad.

Yesterday's stream ended with finding the secret exit in The Wayfarer, so today starts with the secret level. 4 maps remain; not sure if I'm finishing today, depending on how big the maps (or the hordes contained within) get. watch.cney.stream

I've already been debating just shutting down my Patreon with the asshole moves they keep pulling, and this isn't helping to change my mind 'We're not doing this because of """AI""" but we're still gonna sorta ambiguously say it might be because of """AI""", please give us money'

In an internal email shared with creators, CEO Jack Conte wrote that AI doesn’t replace human creativity — but it does affect how the company operates.

Bethesda Games Studios’ Montreal workers are being treated especially poorly by XBOX and we won’t stand for it. Here are the details. If this upsets you let Microsoft know: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...

This little project that was supposed to be out in a year is out now, 6 years later. It took a while but it’s great. It’s a whole new full length campaign for Quake with 32 maps and a completely new soundtrack, aimed at being compatible with winquake. I made a few maps for it. youtu.be/ViJMgLNLW08

lol, I called it correctly last night, the first game I played is full of copyrighted content-ID'd music that will get demonetized to hell and back again on YouTube. (This is also somewhat ironic because most of the time it doesn't even play music by default, only during actual races)
