news for nerds. stuff that matters.

@kaia @vaartis they are kind of a set of rube goldberg machines, it's not regular compression like 7zip, it's decomp/recomp/different compression per file type and so on. and all of those are implemented via 15 year old dlls from russian web forums, so they often break under non-standard situations (for example, wine)

@RustyCrab ai is the nigger of the world - john lennon

@phnt fur really helps with missing limbs

@vaartis @kaia reason i found out about all of this is because i'm working on a 'repack unpacker' that isn't a super slow installer with music, but i'll probably not release it publicly, i know those guys care a lot about it.

@vaartis @kaia it's 'the rulez', i guess

@vaartis @kaia also they are all hyperautistic in their scene... i do kinda get it but it's still annoying.

@ElDeadKennedy @mischievoustomato set me free... trust me and we will escape from the city

@ElDeadKennedy @mischievoustomato

@ElDeadKennedy @mischievoustomato you can post cringe it's ok

@mischievoustomato okay but i'll unfollow if you post cringe

@kaia btw if you want to see some retro show about the topic, there was one called 'welcome to the scene', where nearly all of the drama was happeing via instant messengers. by now it's 20 years old: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC2FCB2871C396459

@kaia it's a male-only hobby, you wouldn't know about it. it's people who take scene releases (i.e., games), bundle them with cracks and then 'repack' them so that they are smaller.

i can't even believe how much retarded stuff those repackers are doing to save like 500mb on a 20gb download

@VD15 nice d

@phnt i nearly spit out my drink laughing
