Thoughts on the recent trend of decomps and recomps? Stuff like Super Mario 64 decomp, Star Fox 64 decomp, OoT decomp, Unleashed Recomp, Twilight Princess' two decomps, etc. Do you think they're doing things that there's a market for that the actual publishers aren't interested in doing?

I mean, it's cool. I like how so many of them have such high compatibility with their target game. Like it took a really long time to emulate Sonic Unleashed, right, but so much about the Unleashed Recomp just works flawlessly. I know there's tons of logistics around that, it wasn't easy, but from a purely end-user perspective it's great how painless these things tend to be and how accurate the end product is.

I think studios and publishers will eventually look into it. It wouldn't surprise me if some already are. And technically some already have -- the first Mega Man Legacy Collection was using a series of static recompilations, I believe.

But you gotta see some of these guys as these, like, big hulking behemoths. It takes forever for them to change direction. It's like Sega getting into generative AI, right. They're kind late to that party and the tide is turning on it right as they're going all-in. Because it took them a while to steer the boat in this direction. Big corporations are not nimble creatures.

Recomp/decomps are still a little "bleeding edge" right now. Sonic Unleashed was the big wake-up call I think and that's barely a year old. Adoption outside of this space is going to take a while.

But then again, maybe not. The benefit of an emulator is that you make one piece of software that runs many games, whereas these recomp and decomp projects only exist on a game-by-game basis. When you consider retro game collections are often very budget things, doing game-by-game projects like this is probably more expensive.

We just gotta wait and see how it all shakes out.

You should play the Majora's Mask Recomp, because:

1. It's my favorite game, and it runs natively on computers, instead of through emulation.

2. It has mod support now, and there's already some incredibly wacky things.

3. My brother, Wiseguy, made it. And he's very talented.

After my last prep I've taken some time to reflect on how I want to improve my physique so back to the drawing board which mean a chest session every 96 hours, each session with a inferior/medial/superior focus on Pec major. Let's see if I can't change my genetic potential 🤔 . . . #bodytransformation #train #recomp #bodybuilding #bodybuilder #bodybuildingmotivation #fitness #fitfam #fit #gym #training #chest #internationalchestday #staunch #staunchnation #staunchchallenge #iifym @calvonmoger @staunch.nation @biolayne @team.staunch @originaesthetics (at Anytime Fitness Hobart)
