These are the people building the Fediverse!

whats your current favorite lizard, real or fictional? show me a lizard
@dryak@mstdn.science @cwebber@social.coop I think it's far more likely they just don't care, because emulators already exist anyways. I don't think there's been any precedent for Nintendo taking ports down as long as you need to provide the ROM yourself. Projects like Ship of Harkinian have been fine for years and widely covered in press, so I'm sure they're aware.
Of course, that is merely an observation and I'm sure that if Nintendo did start paying lawyers to submit C&D's, everybody would just scram like ants. Who knows if something might change their mind.
anyway i think i crossed the "the majority of code i review will be slop from here on out" threshold today.
i work with conscientious people, so "slop" is an imprecise description. a good portion of this stuff will have been evaluated by people equipped to understand it. but there's no longer any real way to know what's been written directly by a human, and it's clearly less and less as time passes.
it's windy. the wheels are floating on black ice.

@brennen it's okay. it's cool. this is sustainable
you know that feeling when you're driving or biking in heavy rain, or in icy conditions, or in strong wind, and you can tell the wheels are no longer in contact with the ground in a way that completes the usual tight feedback loop between how you operate the controls and how the motion of the vehicle responds? that sense you have of floating or drifting, and your model of the system you were controlling your place in until a moment ago is at least temporarily void?
to everyone who rewooted my federation post btw I loves you
@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place @cwebber@social.coop I'm involved in this very scene (decomps/PC ports of Nintendo games).
This is 100% already going on. It's like every goddamn day there's another announcement by sloptubers about a "new decomp" or a "new recomp" or "a new port." And yes, of course the quality is garbage.
And yes this does suck for the people putting in real work to have worked years on putting in the effort on a single game, only for somebody to tell Claude to slopcode the port the moment decomp hits 100% fuzzy match or whatever. Deadass been hearing people say shit like "dude I need to take my decomp private so people don't slopcode the port" and like, jeez.
