As much as I enjoy seeing Drew Devault getting a taste of his own medicine, it still doesn't change the fact that the cancel culture isn't going away and the people who are doing it now are probably much worse.

This ideological purity spiraling and bringing unrelated political issues to movements needs to stop and this list of AI-free projects that Drew is blacklisted from is a good example.

Now, I respect anyone's decision to boycott any and all projects/products/services/companies that use AI. In fact, in the coming years we will probably see something like the Non-GMO Project, but for AI. However, once you bring unrelated politics into it, it immediately falls apart and it drives people away from it.

Case in pint, the open-slopware AI-free list has blacklisted Suckless, Cat-V, DHH, and Jack Dorsey. Now, Jack Dorsey seems to be pro-AI, but he is also blacklisted for working on blockchain projects. I guess it never occurred to them that it's possible to be anti-AI but pro-blockchain. Suckless is one that only exists for reasons that seem out of context. One person pointed out that they had a meetup and they hiked with tiki torches, but tiki torches have existed long before C-ville. The other reasons they listed seem to be weak.

And to top it all off the list has badges that say shit like "enbyware" and "sponsored by the gay agenda". Not very helpful for those who just want to live without "AI-slop" and don't care about your other bullshit. Though, if you put your tinfoil hat on for a moment, maybe this is part of the plan. Maybe the AI pushers want you to accept AI in everything so they are going to make these AI-free projects/companies/organizations look unappealing as possible just like how they made organic products be associated with smelly hippies.

So virtually every video game released after the SNES is potentially infringing copyright in some way due to the legal gray area of soundfonts.

To add insult to injury, check out this comment of the same video:

Added a menu to the level editor.

Why I hate the modern Internet Exhibit A:

Imagine thinking that anyone is nostalgic for GamerGate, especially when it is increasingly obvious that it was probably a manufactured psyop.

If it weren't for GamerGate you would probably be chasing your dreams instead of becoming a politisperg online.

Hearts and coins can now be placed.

#gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #indiedev #indiegames #indie #SDL #cplusplus

Objects can now be placed.

Who runs this account? It randomly boosts "popular" posts, except these posts are OLD, many of which are no longer relevant.

Supposedly, this bot would stop RTing you if you tell it to stop. I did multiple times, but it still likes to repost my old shit every so often.

More like the uniparty playbook.

And now the player can be relocated.

#gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #indiedev #indiegames #indie #SDL #cplusplus

And now the editor can relocate the shop as well.

#gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #indiedev #indiegames #indie #SDL #cplusplus

Editor can now relocate the exit.

Finally! We both agree on something.

Now it displays the current tile index.

#gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #indiedev #indiegames #indie #SDL #cplusplus

Added a bottom UI to the level editor, even though it currently displays nothing.

#gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #indiedev #indiegames #indie #SDL #cplusplus

Added scrolling to the level editor.

#gamedev #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #indiedev #indiegames #indie #SDL #cplusplus

The ability to change tiles and delete tiles has been implemented.

How it started vs how it's going:

Why do these exist? The only play emulated re-releases of old games that you can literally play anywhere else, and I'm not just talking about piracy. These games have been officially re-released on other platforms.

I mean if these consoles had original games in addition to retro re-releases, then maybe I would have more respect for it, but I don't get why you wouldn't just go with any of the emulation handhelds that are out on the market.
