Also the last duel is my all time favorite video game music track. Thoughtlong and hard about it, but it is. It's so ridiculously heroic, melancholic, it's the music of saving the world when you know there's no turning back. Literally the only thing wrong is they didn't set it to play over the battle theme instead of interrupting it for every random battle

I just stumbled across the minor saga of Lizzicide, who started breaking into the forums and email accounts of a guy who dumped her and just..told everyone:

Anyway Vio, Lizzicide, and Bipolar_bear are all tied by various IPs

What just makes this whole thing very curious for me is the login records for one specific IP that would make me think either Lizzicide knows bipolar_bear's password and was logging in and out or at the time when she was using Vio's account to search his with platinum she basically had to ask him to scoot over so she could get on the computer and do so

and I hate myself for taking the 30 seconds to look up that worthless piece of information


Lizzicide posted:

I have Joe's gmail password. I logged in and someone else had already fetched his password tonight and he still had the temp one sitting there. So I logged in just once to see if there was anything interesting (since Idk if he has PM access or what). Found nothing. Logged out. I'm the only one who has all three passwords, Vio and Joe just have their own. Though I guess Joe could guess mine since I use the same one for a lot of things...but...yep. There's my explanation.

Edit: Lol my custom title. Aw :)

She was an 18 year old goon who chose to date another goon because he sent her a mixtape after confessing on the SA forums that mixtapes were the only way he knew how to express emotion. There was a lot of stupid involved in their relationship from beginning to end.

Was this like, actual tapes? I suppose even in the 00s it was probably easier to record things to a cassette tape in a pinch than burn a CD depending on what equipment you have.

Not Lowtax, but admins used to have the ability to post arbitrary HTML because someone at vBulletin circa-turn-of-the-milennium thought that was a good idea, and occasionally you'd open a thread to find that an admin had given it a unique stylesheet and embedded music.

Honestly, I sorta miss the days when you could open a thread and have a midi version of the Ghostbusters theme playing in the background.

I think it was a Minecraft thread, and he specifically wrote torture porn about fairies from some Minecraft mod, including a how-to? That may have been a sideline to his other fairy torture porn. I mostly recall him saying something about not expecting SA to be "prudish about literature"

There's so much stupid lost in the unsearchable archives. I long for the day I can find the 400 pound GBS goon bragging about destroying middle school fundraising snowmen for like a week until the district pressed vandalism charges against him. All I have is a contemporary newspaper article about it I accidentally found on Google trying to search for the original thread, and I'd rather not use that.

IIRC the local middle school had a tradition where they'd plant wooden snowmen on neighborhood lawns as a kind of innocent fundraising thing, and he broke their heads off and wrote obscenities on the remains.

There was another thread about the same time where people reprogrammed their printer display screens to show various kinds of nonsense text, and a guy modified his workplace's printer to "FEED ME A STRAY CAT" and we got to watch him get fired in realtime.

My fiancee made me a mixtape (CD, obviously) of Leonard Cohen songs when we got together at 18 and I really didn't get anything from it at the time so i just put it away and was polite but noncommital about it.

At some point between then and turning 31 he became one of my favourite artists which really suggests that I was always a dumbass and she's been way ahead of me the whole time. Nobody tell her I lost it we're getting married in two weeks

A FFT romhacker joined, did some introspection on his hack, released an accessible version of his hack, and then posted about reading clop and ate a ban.
