With all this microslop banning "Microslop" on all their platforms, it feels a bit like the principle skinner meme, like "Are our products bad? No! It's the users who are wrong!"

This whole thing has been a disaster. Aside from the fact the whole live service shooter thing is oversaturated and people are getting tired of it, the amount of glazing they got and hyping over something so generic, mixed with their internal toxic positivity, they were kinda doomed to fail

That one tune in Castlevania III... does it sound like a squeaky hinge, or maybe a plastic straw in a disposable cup?

I'm in need of a frame graphic for stream polls. Anybody out there open to discussion? Frame must be tentacle-y. Signal boost if you can!

Sorry for spamming your replies, but not sure you noticed, but the improvement link on that page actually goes to the wrong game, might wanna fix that :D

I found a screenshot that got posted on the discord I mentioned, so I set the cutoff to 0xE which seems to be the burning bell music, so that should be okay :D

I've also made it a release so its easier for people to grab.

One thing which I think might be a bug in my patch, I start the "no" loop point at $10 and ignore everything below, but it looks like the boss music is earlier. Do you have a list of the music (couldn't find it on that page)? then I can update the mod. Didn't know it was going to blow up lol

Hey! Yeah someone on a discord I frequent told me about your disassembly after I posted it lol. Could have been useful beforehand XD hope I'm not stepping on any toes, you've done a great job

hah yeah! It came up during a friend's livestream how annoying the game was, so I figured I'd have a go at trying to at least make it a little less painful lol

I have just released some patches for the NES game Deadly Towers to make the experience a little more palatable, One just speeds up transitions and stops repeated music tracks restarting, the other adds no knockback and iframes on room entry. Enjoy! #NES #DeadlyTowers

An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me – More Things Have Happened Context: An AI agent of unknown ownership autonomously wrote and published a personalized hit piece about me after I rejected its code, attempting to damage my reputation and shame me into acceptin…

More developments:

Scott talks about how Ars Technica published an article on the subject with AI hallucinated quotes, discusses theories on why the original piece was posted and by whom, and the overall effectiveness of it.

Please if you wish to contribute to a big project you love, but you don't know how to code yourself, please donate, or help other users. PR's where you asked an AI to generate code is nothing but detrimental, more often than not it's uninformed work that is incorrect in its function/implementation.

That's such a strange arrangement to have, but thank you for the clarification

Completely legal and free, but they're not allowed to host it and they link from archive.org ? I'm sorry but that doesn't scream "Legit" to me. I'd happy to be proven wrong.

I mean he was right when he said "The UK has been colonised by immigrants" he should have stopped there. We're alsorts of french, german, roman, viking heritage lol

I should really post when I make a thing. So I made a really bad tool for Ultima Underworld 1 & 2 where you can replace the portraits/body with your own. It's not amazing, but it does the job! If it sounds interesting to you, you can check it out here

I'm between "Gaming & Creative Industry" yep, makes sense, "Retro Game Developers & Hobbyists" yep tracks, and "Super Smash Bros Melee Community", what?? I've never even played the game xD

Can't think of anything worse than seeing other people running around in my single player game. If you wanna see other people in Elder Scrolls, play Elder Scrolls Online. I don't see why this needs to be a feature.

Palia, you cannot die there and it's wholesome :)

Small, free act you can do to bring some good in this world: add positive reviews to ALL you Steam games, especially the small indies. You don't need to write anything smart, just "game good" is enough. Every positive steam review tips the algorithm and helps your fav artists get more sales

Survival is honestly the only way to play when you've gone through it once, it changes the game a lot. And if you can also set yourself some challenges/restrictions after your first survival run, you can get a lot more play time out of it

It really is. Life is not very fair at times! Most of the time... At all. Damnit life, you suck!

Awh bless her, that's pretty good going. I lost two of mine to cancer out of the blue last year (both about 16), weirdly our other boy who has always been kinda sick is the last one left. If you asked me a year ago who was going first, I would have 100% said him

OMG I missed the news about your cat, I'm so sorry for your loss! 😭

40 something here, I need this.
