Who will win:

  • A modern PC encoding video on a multiple thousand core processing board
  • An arcade game from 1984 that consists mostly of pixelated diagonal movement

@trysdyn at that point the smallest encoding might be the game rom and the input data that leads to the video

@noiob You're not wrong! This is giving vee awful ideas involving the web emulator archive dot org uses and somehow getting an input movie into it...

@trysdyn like unironically input replay in a browser would be one of the coolest things
