My soundtrack to a fictional windows 95 era dungeon crawler titled Quest Forth! which I composed and performed entirely on an Akai MPC Sample is out this Friday! You can sample and preorder now of course or wait until Bandcamp Friday if you wanna support me. \o/ boyks.bandcamp.com/album/quest-...

honestly im very tired of people gently explaining to me that in the case of AI all we can do is surrender and let it proliferate. sorry you've run out of fight but: skill issue. i can and will stay mad and keep demanding better

YOU - Suffering will only make me stronger. ENDURANCE - It's probably this way of thinking that got you where you are.

There's still time to get $40,000 worth of royalty free commercial use video game music 50% off for only $20 dollars, or $10 per pack! Go here before the sale ends, or share so others can see it: itch.io/s/202927/aut... #gamedev🎮 #ttrpg #vtuber

Decomp communities are a canary in the coal mine for romhacking communities. SMW central has been around for 25 years and there's deep human ties but we will continue to play fuckin hardball when it comes to AI because it will eat a place from the inside out otherwise.

A video game reverse engineering community has shut down because many games can now be trivially reverse engineered and decompiled with AI: "The community aspect of decompilation has been broken." www.404media.co/video-game-r...

Iggy just arrived! They'll be our bouncer at Magfest. Character art by @nuclearhog.farm Background paintings and T-shirt design by @tkingfisher.com who isn't a part of this project but y'all really should go read Digger.

For those watching the Mareepathon 2, don't worry, all of the Mareep with really long names that crashed the pen found new homes with trainers. This has had no unintended issues. (I continue to have fun with the community for www.twitch.tv/sebmal, this is art of a new generation)

If you're not watching www.twitch.tv/sebmal why not?

there's a decent chance you have this emote on twitch right now

imo,

Two great tastes, @wanderingnewbie.bsky.social's Lobo Corp and @mrdo.pro's Sheep.

The thing I try to articulate lately is the community-destroying aspects of this stuff. E.g. many of TCRF users find reverse-engineering / game modding playful and puzzling. Some people got started in REing by picking a favored game and struggling through it! It's not merely a collecion of trivia.

The wiki content is a byproduct. If you let guys bring AI powertools in, whether it's "correct" or not is unimportant. It's just disruptive. Like you're running a community garden and someone brings in a tractor and dump truck full of fertilizer. Sure, it'll grow bigger pumpkins, but at what cost?

Wrong answers only. My bet: thanks for all the fish.

there is so much going on here

These users are responsible for every part of the entirety of the unholy sludge returned to them by the AI. They know, more or less, where it comes from. Saying they're devoid of artistic intent is, at this point, inaccurate. No, they do have intent. It just happens to be garbage and plagiarism.

A really annoying thing about being on the aroace spectrum is that no one really explains what the alternative is, they just assume you are too and of course understand implicitly what sexual/romantic attraction is. You're left with the vague feeling that no one actually understands this shit

NetNavis are so cool! I'm glad I finally have a digital face and design that I really like. Wait, I'm being handed a 12 page slop note.

It is unreal how much better I can see when I look this goofy. (They're shockingly subtle in person)

Can I like, walk over there and get it? They haven't even gotten it into the mailbox yet. Come on, man.

We found some deals and we found a bunch of fuckin' SCAAAAAMMMMSSSS too!

screaming "trans rights free Palestine fuck all recruiters tricking the young gambling is a blight and i think we will look back at it the same way we do cigarettes now" at the start of every stream to give everyone an ad-free experience

CEO Dan Clancy says Twitch now uses AI to identify streamers that may not match a brand, since it now transcribes all streams for brand safety. It won't show ads on channels or content the AI believes don't match what the advertiser is trying to achieve.

rewrite relay episode 7 went insane. i heard "heist movie character intro freeze frames" and blacked out

The reason we have all these Claude-built recomp/decomp projects is because the AI dorks couldn't figure out how to shoehorn LLMs into games that were made 20 years ago so they all got together and had their agents do a little brainstorming and came up with a strategy to ruin yet another good thing.
