While Evercade is run by people who ban you if you're anything other than critical of a game while having double standards on their userbase. How about no! 🙄
@Sketcz I'm glad that there is some people with common sense asking how this article doesn't make sense.
@leogames If we have to sympathise with every person that has been on the receiving end of terrible behaviour what companies do you think this website should cover?
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.
@Arcadia_Official I don't know if it's a lack of awareness that's caused the hypocritical behaviour or it's just targeted to people Hookshot doesn't like? 🤔
@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. 👍
@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.
@Ancientocean You make out I'm not allowed to have my opinion? You also seem to be singling me out when I'm not the only one here who has issues with the constant AI doom articles because Damien hates AI.
You also just joined an hour ago to complain to me so you can't say I'm the problem here. 😉
@ServbotEXE There are many benefits to AI in entertainment. There are also many dangers. My problem along with others is the constant doom articles about AI being used in games for an agenda.
@HoyeBoye The constant articles about AI being used makes it pretty clear it's an attack on AI plus...Damien hates AI in video games so it's fairly obvious to read between the lines.
@mariteaux Damien really, really, really doesn't like AI at all in video games. I agree, articles like this are almost calling out the games to get hate. It's almost a form of gatekeeping at this point.
"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: More Neo Geo Games Are Coming To Evercade In 2027, And It's One Of The Cheapest Places To Play Them
@Ristar24 You're never going to see the Lotus games released for obvious reasons.

Re: Playdate Has Had Enough Of All This Generative AI Nonsense
I can see this getting very confusing.
Re: SNK's Street Smart And Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden III Come To Consoles This Week
Arcade Archives = still no Steam release. 😪
@Guru_Larry I'm guessing through import since it never received a Euro release.
Re: AI Is Not "Of A High Enough Quality" For Use In Video Games Right Now, Says Peter Molyneux
Yep, I'm in full agreement with him. 👍
@RenHope The genie is out of the bottle and people are going to have to put up with it or stop buying games.
Re: Talking Point: "We, The Consumers, Need To Vote With Our Wallets" - The Moral Dilemma Of Supporting SNK In 2026
@dimbo You created an account just to tell him that, WTF dude?
@leogames My point is why is TE covering SNK if it's as problematic as ModRetro? Is consistency too much to ask for?

Re: "That Was Crazy" - Retro Panel Gets Interrupted After Bomb Threat
They just wanted to talk about the fu*king Commodore Amiga...why...🙄
Re: RetroAchievements Support Comes To MiSTer FPGA
That's cool. I hope RA supports ZX Spectrum and Amiga eventually.

Re: Retro-Bit Is Blessing Two More 16-Bit Cult Classics With Physical Re-Releases
While I'm happy for the re-releases it looks so off brand the covers end up looking unappealing. Oh Sega come on... 🤦♂️
Re: Saudi-Funded Metal Slug Reboot Looks To Be Taking The Series Back To Its Pixel Art Roots
The wording to this article title is trying to be controversial.
@SecretSeashell Yeah, they may end up doing this.
Re: "Super Sidekicks 3 Or Ultimate 11?" - Plaion Wants To Know Which Neo Geo Games You'd Like To See Re-Released

Re: "Locked And Loaded" - Polymega Is Adding Support For Two New CD-Based Retro Consoles
Here's hoping it's CD32 and 3DO.
Re: "This Is Devastating News" - Hackers Force Console Preservation Site "Back To Basics"
That explains why when you go there now there's no images.
Re: "A Fan Project Not To Be Missed" - This New Project Reimagines The Classic Tomb Raider Games As A 2.5D Sidescroller
I'd be interested to know how good climbing is in this since it's essentially a Prince of Persia/Flashback style game now. 🤔
Re: The Neo Geo+ AES Saves You Over $92,000 On The Real Deal
@Arcadia_Official I mean TE shouldn't be talking about this Neo Geo then. 😆
@Sketcz It's the same as the ModRetro. People are acting like hypocrites when they already support companies with shady projects.
Re: "No Emulation, No Compromise, No Comparison" - The $250 Neo Geo+ AES Aims To Be A 1:1 Replica Of SNK's Classic Console
Glad to see this being made. I bet SNK will use this as an opportunity for a lot of game releases.

@sdelfin Oh that's cool. Atari Games obviously saw the potential.
@KingMike I actually came to like that game via Antstream. Underrated game definitely.

Re: Evercade's Next Indie Heroes Collection Announced, With A Shareware Twist
