    Can someone fill me in on the source of the whole Hitler/Jew discussions going on?

      Looks like the guy who did the port is an antisemite (explicitly stating he hates Jewish people)

      Let’s see if we can help you figure this out.

      1: Look for key figures of interest in the headlines

      2: Read the article

      3: Look at the top comments and the names of the people involved

      4: Don’t ask Chat to figure it out for you this time

        I’m not new to this.

        I read the article. I searched for anything about the kid doing this project. Tried a few searches with his name and ‘jew’ or ‘hitler’ or a handful of other cross terms. I also trued looking through news articles, in addition to straight web searches, and came up with nothing. THAT is when I asked for clarification, and that is when you felt the need to answer with essentially LMFGTFY.

        So feel free to provide some useful information, or STFU.

            Y’know, I took a look at your recent post/comment history.

            In nearly every post, you insult the person you’re responding to. You call them idiots and morons, you condescendingly explain why you’re vastly more intelligent than they, you call their opinions bullshit, and you consistently fail to contribute anything useful.

            No skin off my back - after this post, I’ll never interact with you again - but you might want to deal with the fact that you are really a shitty person.

    The port is excellent, btw. It runs very well, with just a few small, non-breaking bugs, and cool extra features like higher resolutions, unlocked frame rates, jumping to different loops in the game, VR mode, etc.

    Edit: Never mind. This “person” is a Nazi. Fuck that. Also removed the bit about it being ported by a “human” because fascists are not human. They rejected their own humanity to become what they are.

      It was ported by a human too

      It wasn’t ported by AI, sure, but I wouldn’t go so far as to consider nazis human

        Fascists aren’t human, I agree. But where are you getting that this person is a Nazi? I don’t know anything about them other than their work on the PT port.

        Edit: I’ve seen some others claim that the dev is fascist-aligned in random livestream chats too, but no one is able to share sources there. Please share if you have a source on this. I would genuinely like to know.

        Edit again: Never mind. I see that other commenters have provided screenshots from this “person’s” social media posts stating that they hate Jewish people. I’d say that’s pretty conclusive evidence that they’re a Nazi. Fuck that.

        Don’t dehumanize Nazis. That’s literally that they do. It’s important to acknowledge they are human.

          If you’re saying that it’s important to remember that no one is born fascist, and therefore anyone can become one if they choose to, then I agree.

          However, fascists abandoned their humanity to become what they are. Just because they are incorrect to dehumanize others, that does not mean that we need to ignore that they dehumanized themselves. They can choose to re-humanize themselves at any time by adopting humanity into their ethics and politics.

            It’s also important to remember that when we dehumanize them it gives them some added rhetorical ground. The ability to say “see I’m not a nazi, I’m just an ordinary person [to you], not some sort of subhuman monster”. They have surrendered their souls and are unwilling to try to claw them back, but it is worth keeping in mind the ways they’ll try to use our rhetoric to weasel their way into acceptability in orher people’s eyes

      I think you’re already implying this and don’t wanna talk past you, but this was AI + human-in-loop as opposed to pure vibecode, not AI-free.

      Doing this solo with zero AI would far more intractable (though not impossible).

    To even play this you have to jump through hoops and have your copy of the PS4 version. Not problem for me because I do. But this is not a true port. Because those without a PS4 copy won’t be able to play. Also you need bit tech savvy as well.

      That’s normal for unlicensed ports. It just seems especially silly in this case because the package with the required assets is no longer for sale and it’s also “digital” so there are no copies in the resale market.

    I’m really glad this iconic game is available for everyone, but I’m also fortunate enough to still have a PS4 haunted by the original code. It’s fun to pull out every couple years.
