scummvm unironically stole my idea

ScummVM 2026.4.0 "Never-slop" is released on the 25th anniversary! It is hard to believe, but a quarter-century and a couple of days ago, the ScummVM Project saw its first public commit by Ludvig Strigeus aka ludde. So many things have changed, and we continue to follow our new release cadence. Without further ado, let's discuss what is coming with the 2026.4.0 release. If we count correctly, there are 192 newly supported games and 11 new engines! https://www.scummvm.org/news/20261011/ #retrogaming

the thread is pretty funny. after the angry blowback, they decided to say that "never-slop" is a reference to the game neverhood.
