Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

Got a little Midwest weekend tour comin' up next month! Gonna be great to play on some home turf!

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

Chloe "in ✈️ at home" Adams@addamschloe.bsky.social · last mo.

piracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time

the beef is live and in person at VRGE

NEW RELEASE 🎸 The Metal Diver is out on streaming now, a prog rock adventure covering music from Dave the Diver and featuring @allisonmartintrombone.com @rnji.bsky.social @ericltrombone.com and our VGMCon 2024 lineup @nahtony.bsky.social @rahulvanamali.com Enjoy your jungle trip Dave 😍

Hi! I throw lots of money at video games. And SC still is probably the most played in my library, by far. Thus it keeps getting more from me. Until its not fun to play, I'll keep finding reasons to chip in here and there. And lets be real, its better CIG getting it than EA, Bethesda or Blizz, lol.

Imagine what great things game devs could make if 0.03% (or even less!) of the funds of Star Citizen went to literally anyone else.

Insane it’s been a year already.

Went to Sakuracon and all I got was the flu.

Everyone, I have an original EP. It's called Aoede Hums, and I've been using it as my personal anthem for almost four years to celebrate my uniqueness and validity as a musician and as a human. It's dedicated to my dad, who passed away last year but always supported me and my music. Please enjoy.

Since the 2024 MAGFest show, I have literally been fixated on this idea and thanks to @ongakuoverdrive.com and a lot of help we pulled it off 🌑 We threw the moon at you and you swung it right back
