Re: "We Know This Might Feel Restrictive" - Commodore Explains Why It's Locking Down The C64 Ultimate

I get why they're doing this. They don't want to have to deal with people sending them broken systems because they installed some random patch. This is basically to say "you can do what you like but we're not taking responsibility."

@Coalescence Kevtris doesn't even do all the work necessary on cores for game compatibility.

@Guru_Larry I've been seeing nothing but praise for the C64 Ultimate so that's interesting.

@OdysseyPoint "Your position is currently "I like AI and everyone that doesn't is either biased or a troll."

I never said that. Your previous post reads like AI by the way.

"AI use in the creative aspects of game development will continue to be a red flag to indicate cost-cutting and/or lazy work, and you are doing nothing to disprove that."

Genie is out of bottle and you aren't putting it back in. People will continue using it for good and bad regardless of your bias. ๐Ÿ‘

@Ancientocean That's helpful if you're completely anti-AI but a lot of people aren't triggered by AI in these situations which is where the frustration people are having with TE is coming from. All this article proves is the developer has done nothing wrong and TE is calling out ANY games that use AI. If it's news worthy by all means Damien should report it, if it has zero issues then drawing attention to it is just calling out the developer for using it.

Maybe join up next time not to complain to others about your anti-AI bias. I don't need that lecture thank you.

Re: 3DO FPGA Core "Cannot Be Accurate On The MiSTer" Says Creator

"The MiSTer platform is a little long in the tooth these days, so it's hardly surprising that developers are reaching the limit of its potential."

First I'm hearing of that since everyone still goes on about how good it is compared to typical emulation.

100% accuracy would be ideal however making the games run properly is what is ultimately important. It just depends what those inaccuracies are and whether they ruin the gameplay experience or even improve it.

Re: "I Will Always Cherish That Chapter Of My Life" - A Million Subs Later, One Of Retro Gaming's Most Famous YouTubers Calls It Quits

I always found his channel overrated. His research is detailed and in-depth but he covers the same topics that have been covered endlessly by everyone else. Norman will put out a video on Super Mario Kart and then everyone will think this is the first time it's been covered. That channel could have done a lot more interesting stuff.

@X68000 The irony of course is Norman started as a sort of early AVGN copy. Laid back, no nonsense with arms folded and slightly arrogant. Then he stopped making videos for a few years and when he came back he became the more natural "well that's just swell" persona he's been since. ๐Ÿ˜‚

@Banjo- Try to widen your search. There are more channels out there covering more variety of topics. I'd hate to think you think this is as informative as retro gaming content gets.

@Sketcz I had no idea about this. I'm somehow not surprised as my comment above shows his audience believe his topics are new only when he's covered them. It's very frustrating. His sources could easily be put into his videos but then creating an ignorance might be unintentionally beneficial to him I guess? ๐Ÿค”
