Plotting the decline of creativity in Hollywood by looking at the 10 highest grossing films by year. The two original screenplays in 2021 were both Chinese films.

All Hollywood have now is endless sequels and remakes with Tenet in 2020, Bohemian Rhapsody in 2018, Zootopia in 2016, Interstellar in 2014 and Gravity in 2013 being the only original screenplays to appear in the top 10 grossing movies of their year in the last decade.

@Duine @ChristiJunior @Aether The whole capeshit "renaissance" is probably the biggest cancer in the modern film industry.

@rasterman @amerika @Marko The whole upvote/downvote cancer is why I wish we can go back to forums.

@beardalaxy @LukeAlmighty @applejack Yeah. That makes sense. I heard that the SM64 decomp was largely created because of pannenkoek analyzing the game's mechanics and trying to beat the game without pressing A. His friends used a disassembly of the game to analyze the mechanics and I think that later evolved to a full decomp of the game.

It also makes sense given that Super Smash Bros. Melee has a full decompilation project while SSB64 only has a disassembly right now. Melee is far more popular in tournaments and thus has been analyzed more than 64.

>it would take a decompilation of star fox 64 coming out for me to actually be interested in that stuff

There are a lot of N64 decompilation projects going on, but I'm surprise to see that SF64 is not one of them. At least not listed on this site.

@shebang @kev @werwolf That's because it's just a web-client for the LBRY protocol. BitChute is an over-glorified torrent tracker.

@werwolf @kev I don't know why he doesn't just use LBRY/Odysee. It seems like everyone else is switching too it. Not just political dissidents.

@kev Rogan is stupid. But censorship isn't the solution.

Spotify is certainly harmful and it should be abandoned, but for other reasons.

Anyway, it's clear the reason why Spotify doesn't ban Rogan, and that reason isn't free of speech. It's that Rogan gives them money.

@beardalaxy I remember poking around the SM64 decomp and I found the code hard to navigate.

So there's this person who takes photographs from inside musical instruments and I want to live in the 1970s Movie Future where the interior of a Steinway piano is the Community Transport Central Hub or whatever.

@beardalaxy C is pretty different from modern languages, though. You have to worry about memory allocation, dangling pointers, among other things.

@beardalaxy I know it's possible, but OOT was programmed in C and C code can be a mess and I'm not that experienced in C (I'm spoiled by modern languages).

@matana @LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy You're required to provide a ROM to abstract the assets. That's how they get around copyright infringement.

@LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy Have you seen what they done with the SM64 PC Port? You can't do this shit on an emulator or real hardware.

@beardalaxy I really want to mod something in like replacing the MIDI music with and orchestral soundtrack, but my C programming knowledge is too limited.
