Video Game Archival Autism / TCRF / Jul / Sonic Retro / And More - Harvest Troon: Friends of Byuu-Near-al town

Looks like Xkeeper got wise to the #announcements channel getting reacted with kiwis and other emotes, I got b& from their Discord this morning lol

Yeah he was also bragging/gloating earlier today about meticulously parsing out who was leaving mean reactions on posts in the Discord and banning those people specifically.

Fairly certain someone ealier in the thread pointed out that this is, sadly, impossible. You can turn the referer on and off, but you can't actually modify it in any way because of how it's baked into browsers. I would quote the post, but I wasn't able to find it with search feature. It may be one of the highlights.

With a browser you can't. But if you use curl you can send out any request you want. It's not even some epic hacker tool, it's built right into windows since 2017 (curl.exe). I'm not gonna spell it out however, as not to facilitate cow tipping, but it's very easy to look it up.

I recall Star Ocean needing a separate graphics patch when I played it on ZSNES. One of the big problems with ZSNES was transparency. Didn't it have Mode 7 issues too? Sometimes I'd run into auto ips problems as well. I used ZSNES long after it was obsolete. Now I just use SNES9X. Good enough for me. I think back when it was cool enough that you could even play ROMs on your computer people forgave these flaws. These days it feels inexcusable. Back then I was like "This looks terrible. But I saved money on a cartridge/can play something that wasn't released in the US".

Are there any non-pozzed TCRF alternatives? I'm guessing no. But it's worth asking.

Star Ocean and Street Fighter Alpha 2 on really old ZSNES used to require those because it uses the S-DD1 expansion chip, used for graphics compression, which wasn't reverse-engineered until around 2001.

If you have more logs of XCreeper being banned from other places, do share them. The Goonstation admin's anecdote that Workman "outright stated she was not willing to change her behavior" is pretty much confirmation that X is a dyed-in-a-wool psychopath.

Sounds like the perfect and mentally stable person to be in charge of a forum.

He's a fucking psychopath, I'd be starting working on a draft for this subhuman piece of shit, if someone else is working on a thread, please let me know.

The same thing happens in many communities. TF2 has been hit especially hard by the troon menace. Don't step in line and bow down to the trannies? You're out of the community.

TF2 being one of my favorite games makes me especially sad because its like 99% infected. Outside of like Zesty and few smaller creators its legit the same group of troons and compfags running most of the community. Even the Tf2 offshoot mods were taken over some years ago and have only gotten worse and worse. If you told my younger self (in 2015 holy shit) that Tough Break was going to be the last good Tf2 update I would not have believed it. And because of Valves neglect not only do the troons run the community, they basically run the workshop and get to decide what gets in the game. Its really sad I can't think of any community for games I love that haven't been taken over. AND THE CRAZY PART IS ITS ALWAYS THE SAME PEOPLE like the internet as a whole could probably heal just by get rid of these poisoned apples.

Even with M. Workman constantly tweaking his site in order to break scrapers, there will still be people scraping the site bit by bit. He might be buying time before there is a complete archive.
If Denuvo can be cracked by one crazy guy, then so can his chomo-riddled website.

 

[Diggus Bickus]

So have the databreaches have compromised Workman's accounts yet? Or do I have to pull out the graph again? C'mon shartyfags you had one job.

You know, I always heard that the TF2 community was still alive after so many years but never really thought about who was keeping it alive. Feelsbadman.

It tracks, honestly. Because the people keeping it alive are mentally ill to some degree at the very least, such as being delusional on that throwing a collective tantrum somehow worked to ban the bots outta the game, failing to realize 85% of the playerbase are bots as is that aren't cheating. Those others are just on the worse side.

It's quite literally the old circa 2011 /v/ "Ice cream? God I love ice cream!" CS 1.6 thread at this point.

Most of the weirdos that have taken over the community don't even play the game and that's the craziest part. They mostly just run community discords, forums, the workshop and item trading sites. Despite the cheating bots being gone the majority of the games player numbers are still just bots idling for fucking items. I would say the game maybe has around 20,000 actual human players about the same as L4D2.

If there's any behavior that just screams to everyone watching "I am a manchild and don't ever go outside and talk to real people", this is it. This is like a five year old stomping on someone else's sandcastle because the other kids weren't letting him play with them. In any world other than the recent era of terminally online this guy would be laughed at absolutely everywhere and would end up eating alone at the lunch table, no one giving a shit about anything he ever does, but instead he'll fall back to his little polycule of fellow retarded failures saying "YASS QUEEN OBLITERATE THEM CHUDS :3." Good to laugh at sure, but to actually have to interact with? Hell no.

The sad part of this is, despite being a complete shitstain of a human being who does not deserve to be overseeing a potted plant, nevermind a semi-useful website, there's a nonzero chance he gets away with acting this way solely because where else are you gonna go to find out the extra secrets behind those video games? He knows that as long as he's the one with the most content, with the most people volunteering their time to properly add things to the website, he has the keys to the kingdom regardless of how mentally deranged he is.

I love the idea of forming a breakaway website hosting their information free of all the garbage at the top, but let's be real. There is not enough room for two of these places to properly exist. One will get all the views and updates and be known as the site to check, and the other will slowly peter out and stagnate. Bluesky lost in their attempt to replace Xitter, despite a bunch of mad terminally-online liberals and trannies like XKeeper trying to prop it up, and the same could easily happen here, if this TCRF 2.0 even gets off the ground at all.

Trannies are gangrene to functioning internet communities. Never let one in, because once you do, the cancer spreads and festers until the only thing you can do is cut off the arm. Please, if there is a god out there, have this be one of the moments where we succeed in cutting off the cancer. (And if him losing his precious donations and influence causes him to ACK! himself out of depression, all the better)

Actually it's trivial if you just want to spoof a domain to have it appear in the logs. You can use browser dev tools or a local proxy to add/edit the Referer header in your own requests, with any domain you want.

Well fuck me, looks like Zamu has been busy lately eh?, lol

This whole post + evidence of the link if available is worth adding to the OP.

I'll have to think about it, but like I keep saying the OP is at its character limit, so I might have to trim some shit out.
