TERMS OF SERVICE & GLITCH DISCLAIMER
Trashcade is a curated digital museum of broken physics, inverted game loops, and intentionally unhinged AI-generated browser experiments. By accessing or playing anything on this domain, you accept that things will glitch, audio may clip, and your browser tabs might run warm.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By visiting, browsing, playing games, downloading synthesized audio, or generating prompts on trashcade.com (the “Site” or “Trashcade”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please close the tab and return to a website with higher standards.
2. The Nature of “Slop” & Experimental Games
All games, prototypes, and simulations featured on Trashcade are presented strictly for entertainment, satire, and experimental amusement. Many games deliberately feature inverted physics, simulated crashes, hostile UX, memory leaks, and broken inputs. Nothing on this website is guaranteed to be stable, balanced, or bug-free.
3. Hardware, Browser & Performance Disclaimer
You acknowledge that browser games, WebGL canvases, and Web Audio synths execute locally on your machine. Trashcade is not liable for:
- Spikes in CPU/GPU utilization or fan noise caused by unoptimized canvas render loops.
- Temporary browser tab freezes, memory crashes, or WebGL context losses.
- Accidental loss of un-saved work in background browser windows while distracted by the games.
4. Photosensitivity & Audio Safety Warning
Photosensitivity / Seizure Notice: Certain arcade titles include rapid flashing lights, high-contrast CRT scanlines, chromatic aberration, and screen shake. If you have photosensitive epilepsy or are prone to seizures, discontinue use immediately.
Audio Safety Notice: Several titles and tools (including SFX-Gen 3000 and The Karen) use real-time Web Audio oscillators capable of producing sharp square waves, bitcrushed noise, and intense sub-bass. Please set your headphone or speaker volume to a moderate level before playing.
5. Tools & Synthesized WAV Audio Files
Audio files generated and exported through our sound synthesizers (e.g. SFX-Gen 3000) are rendered entirely client-side into standard 16-bit PCM WAV buffers:
- We provide synthesized audio files “AS IS” without warranty of broadcast compliance, normalization, or compatibility with specific Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs), hardware samplers, or audio drivers.
- You are solely responsible for testing and inspecting downloaded audio files prior to incorporating them into your audio projects, games, or live performance rigs.
- Prompt generators (e.g. Slop-o-Matic 4000) provide text output for creative inspiration only. We are not responsible for hallucinated output or errors generated by third-party LLMs.
6. Code Reuse & Commercial Software License (With Credit)
Yes, you can freely use, learn from, fork, remix, and incorporate our code and mechanics into your own projects — including commercial games and software!
All we require in return is visible written attribution in your project’s credits, documentation, or product listing.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRASHCADE AND ITS CREATORS, CONTRIBUTORS, AND AFFILIATES PROVIDE ALL GAMES, AUDIO SYNTHS, SCRIPTS, AND CONTENT ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
