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.

Please respect disabled streamers and creators. They are working twice as hard to give you content because their bodies or minds fight them the entire time. They have to take breaks more frequently and are often exhausted. Don't take it as an insult when they can't be there 24/7.

It can be really hard being a disabled streamer because sometimes we go through times where our health gets worse. And we're not as present. And a lot of people take that as a slight against them. Because we're not able to be in their streams or support them as much.

It seems absurd in modern times to think a web browser could even run with only 2MB ram anymore, many modern web pages download significantly more than 2MB worth of Javascript just to function

Looking for what the reaction to it was at the time, I found an overview in GamePro that highlights one of the main issues with it: it couldn't display web pages with frames, java elements, or sound files embedded in them. Would likely factor into the overall poor sales for the Net Link.

A clipping of an article in GamePro December 1997 (uploaded on Internet Archive by Sketch the Cow) World Wide Woes Unfortunately, PlanetWeb's browser leaves a lot to be desired. It's impressive to see the Internet on the Saturn at all, but with very little Saturn memory in which to store data, many of the more exciting elements of the Web are lost. The software doesn't properly display frame-enhanced Web sites, It can't handle fancy elements like Java, and it doesn't play MIDI music or WAV sounds. Some transparent images don't look transparent, either. For example, Sega's own home page looks cool in black on Netscape, but it takes on a vomitous green tint over the NetLink. Upgraded software and extended memory could fix these problems; let's hope that happens in future revisions. Sega's page looks great in a PC-based Netscape window.. ...but on the NetLinli, it turns a sickly shade of green. IXIetLink or IXIyetLink? It's better to think of the NetLink as a gaming modem with a Web interface than as an Internet solution. If you're thinking of buying a NetLink as your only access to the Web, don't. Instead, save your cash a little longer and buy a used computer. But if what you want is fresh competition in Daytona or Bomberman, then the NetLink is the Satun peripheral to own

Well, it finally happened! After 9 years of Unity dominance, Godot was the most used game engine for GMTK Game Jam 2026 submissions. 🤖 Godot - 47% 🎮 Unity - 34% 🛠️GameMaker - 5% 🚀 Unreal Engine - 3% ✨ Other - 11%

Pie chart showing game engines used to create 10,511 GMTK Game Jam games in 2026. Godot has the largest slice with 47%. Then Unity with 34%. Other with 11%. Game Maker with 5%. And Unreal Engine with 3%.

Now is a good reminder that machine learning is a rebranding of statistical learning. Reinforcement learning is something I first came across in control theory. Many ML formulations are from information theory, a much more theoretically grounded discipline that's been around for decades.

There's a reason why "these are just statistical predictions" hasn't caught on in the discourse, and it's not the tech press. It's that people see them reading and writing and reasoning and scheming and they realize that the stochastic-parrots framing is outdated and inadequate to the moment
