I also second Gröpaz' assertion that nobody is required to disclose their process and perfectly justified to ignore such demands. |

Quoting Bitbreaker... With accepting that skills aren't well developed yet, one enters the chance of growth, with hiding that fact, one will stick to the old routine and never change, but keeping up the drama.
So becoming good, means to accept own failure first, which applies for all cetegories, not only gfx.
For some reason the drama is mostly about gfx lately.
I can't recall any recent debate about coding. Some decade(s) ago, people frowned about cross development in general, today this doesn't seem to play much of a role, the debate is reduced to matter of taste.
About cracking: Is it bad if someone uses a disassembler or VICE Mon? I don't think so.
Sure, we have debates about music time and again (is multi-speed allowed, are samples lame, THCM tool, stolen GT .INSes etc.), but less frequent and controversial.
So BTT, the gfxians seem to be the most AI-worried people at the moment.
What bitbreaker and others said about transparency of process being recommendable, definetely makes sense, especially the part about secret-mongering always fuels the fire; some Pharisees permanently wield their torches and pitchforks and just wait to jump at someone with fishy or incomplete workstages. These folx more often than not have a point, however, I'd appreciate a somewhat more laid back attitude, after all it's Advent season, so leaving the church in the village or biting your fingers is an alternative to generating AI/wired drama again and again.... |

Totally agree with TheRyk. And it is absolutely ok to discuss things like this and I understand everyone’s concerns. But nobody needs to make some kind of witch-hunt out of this. |

Mindlessly jerking around with "AI" prompt-to-image tools, then converting the result, then collaging the chunks like you were half blind, then shifting a few (or a few hundred) pixels manually earns you top positions at some gfx compos these days. For rave reviews and ratings here, often you don't even have to shift any pixels manually. There are people that have no clue that this happens, there are people who just don't care. And there are people that are disappointed by this state of things at this mature age of the scene. So, drama.
Now, when "AI" starts churning out lame, ugly, half-assed demos that you'll immediately recognize for the crap they are, and when that demos start getting top spots in compos and rave reviews here, then the code drama will happen.
Although I saw certain someone getting kinda dramatic over the use of the word "demomaker". ;-)
But, let's talk about animations vs. realtime. |

Those who are honest won't make a problem out of it.
It probably has to do with the accusations w/o proof you post in many threads, the swear words and general awful behavior.
And then you expect everybody to dance to your tune. LOL
The words I quoted from you are a perfect example, you basically claim that everybody who does not answer to your demands is dishonest. But you forget nobody has any obligation to answer to you.
The way you and a very small amount of others keep screaming, keep misbehaving and keep destroying every thread about graphics is very off-putting and very far from general scene ethics.
You need to learn how to bring your ideas without blame and attacks and without virtue signalling. You'll be much more effective this way.
And this! |

cracking with vice mon is lame, it's much easier with breakpoints and full memory access (incl stack, zp, cia timers, nmi, etc etc) than doing it on the real thing with just a cartridge. |

you are right. same with ntsc / pal fixing.
its way much easier than it used to be in the 80s / 90s. |
