"hey if you want to play our game which infringes on a bunch of nintendo copyrights, just join our discord server for the download!"

great! make sure no one has a chance to archive the download, that'll be handy when Nintendo shows up with a cease and desist.

oh and the entire contents of the readme.txt file is just a link back to their discord

It's surprising how many people are excited to join the war on lost media, on the side of losing media

To keep up with industry standards, my next game will be released by embedding it into a PNG I'll post on 4chan's /b/ board. So you'll have like an hour to download if you're lucky

@foone ahh the 'cave story hidden in the tomato girl picture' gag

@foone that reminds me I have a few "this image contains secrets" pictures around from the before* times that I never managed to solve. Surely I know enough tricks by now.

...Actually, I'm not sure I want to solve them considering where they're from.

*Before I realized that was Not A Good Place

@julesthefox

you dont have any early releases of Dangerous Kitten, do you?
They mostly seem to be unpreserved.

@HauntedOwlbear I don't seem to on my primary nor auxiliary PCs... But it doesn't feel like the kind of thing I would delete so carelessly so one might yet survive on my older tech.

@foone Does no one archive /b/?

I must confess I mostly paid attention to /tg/ archives...

@lispi314 @foone I mean, it's the random board, wouldn't be surprised if nobody is bothering because most of it is utter junk
Show threadLisPiSep 21, 2024
@Reiddragon @foone An on-request archive for particular threads wouldn't be as surprising though.
Show threadReid Sep 21, 2024
@lispi314 @foone oh of course, tho it's pretty rare, last thing I can think of that happened on /b/ and got archived is the 3301 messages

@foone embedding archival data within games is an interesting idea because people don't question their large data sizes
Show threadC-27733Sep 21, 2024
@foone ok but do you mean that the image will be embedded in the graphics or in the metadata (which might get scrubbed by archival software)
Show threadCySep 21, 2024
the metadata description field will just contain a link to their Discord

@foone don't forget to make it not work without data it downloads from twitter at runtime
