Trying to figure out non-party-pooper ways of explaining why I am not enthusiastic about all these remakes and one way I can explain it is: Think of how the nice brick walls on an old house get painted gray so the seller can put it to market.

Just truly upsetting how quickly this scene became invaded by clout chasers, self aggrandizing posers and people who simply do not give a fuck about games. I'm so tired of this.
decomp.dev, a site to track decomp progress, is being sunsetted after 2 years. this is due to a lot of reasons but i'll cover the main reasons in this thread.

Decompiling games takes time because we want the end result to be a near perfect replica of the original experience. That requires care, human senses, experience and community.
Ai vibe coders who see games as window dressing for their vapid lifestyle will never understand this.

Outisde of Marvel fans, there was no reaction to them back then. People accepted them as characters in a roster. Crossovers weren't always fanservice or glorified ads, but a learning experience. To bring in new folks and spark a natural curiosity about what they engage with!
Everyday with some sort of Tokon discussion, I wonder what the reaction was to these two being in Marvel Super Heroes?

A+ example of the paradox of character recognition. In a world where Blackheart and Shuma Gorath never made it into any VS game, had they somehow made it into a roster now they would be considered lame, confusing and irrelevant. How then are we supposed to learn about new things?

These are some of the cool hand painted game box titles I did in the early 1990s! This has become a lost art in the digital age.

I also designed the Bad Bird pin. Really happy with his pose here. You can make his wings wiggle!

"ai art is bad because i don't like it" is a bad hill to die on because eventually there will just be ai art perfectly tailored to your preferences
i much prefer "ai art is bad intrinsically because the point of art consumption isn't to maximally engage my pleasure centers it's

I want to be very clear: this is dystopian and evil.
But it's frustrating to see so many responses along the lines of "gross, *I* would never want this."
It's like we've learned no lessons from the last 20 years. Did you want short-form video infinite scrolls? Did you want 40 TV streaming apps? Did you want the pretense of digital privacy to disappear? Did you want independent websites to die and get subsumed into a few mega-platforms run by oligarchs? Did you want every news platform to go behind a paywall? Did you want algorthims to fracture us out of common culture and into a bunch of polarized bubbles? Did you want Amazon to eviscerate bookstores? Did you want your attention colonized by the smartphone? Did you want the general enshittification of your digital life?
It doesn't matter what you *want*. It matters what most people will *buy*, and how that will ultimately shape the choices available to *you*, too. We have got to break out of the consumer-choice frame when talking about new technology. You, as an individual, sneering at the slop will not stop it. You, proudly announcing that *you* are too smart and tasteful for this won't stop it.
At a certain point, if you want to stop the total obliteration of a common human experience, you will have to turn to the state, to methods of coordinating collective action. You will have to actually fight this thing, not merely abstain from it as an individual consumer preference.
