TLDR the slop: screen printing directly onto the cabinet sides.

Yes, screen printing, but there's more to it than those two words!

And the video in the post was sourced and uploaded by...the blog post author.

Also, let's be serious, that blog has been writing about arcade related things for over a decade https://arcadeblogger.com/2013/04/01/1814065/ and running a podcast since 2020, and the author wrote a book in 2020.

One could say he puts real effort into all this, you know?

If you star changing the term slop into meaning content someone made that you don't like, you begin to diminish the word, and also who are you to categorically dismiss a stranger's work for someone else? Not good form.

TLDR implies you didn’t read - therefore you don’t know if it’s slop.

But seriously it does read well like normal thoughtful human writing, so I am on the side of it not being “AI slop” while also noting that you didn’t claim it was.
