and yes, I got 404ed with your link

[Akura]

According to isitdownrightnow.com, it is down and has been for the past 40 hours.

Thank you for verifying that.

Yeah, see? This is what I'm talking about. So, do we let Toady know or something? I am not sure if this hurts his business/ interests.
Google is not directing people towards the wiki stuff for his site and he is selling a game on steam/doing off donations.
So, visibility matters to his bottom line? I mean that's my thought process and I'm trying to help him anyhow. Does that make sense?

Do people think I (or someone) should tell him this?
I don't know. I'm just trying to assist here/be helpful.

Thoughts?

I'm not sure if boss toad is involved with the wiki at all? Genuinely don't know, and most game wikis aren't directly affiliated with the games they're based around. There is admin for it but I'm not sure who they are (looking at the wiki it seems whoever Emi is, though Kitfox is actually providing hosting at the moment so yeah, boss toad might be able to get in contact with someone).

The link you gave is working on my end at the moment, though.

For... what it's worth, I have been having some serious slowdown/loading issues on the forum itself, but I'm suspecting extremely strongly it's more on my end than anything directly involving the forum (the pattern involved looks more like ISP throttling crap or a firefox update screwing over some handshake protocals than anything, with b12 just kinda' getting caught in the crossfire).

===

... in unrelated WTF, few days ago family brought a some fast food toy (mcdonalds, I think?) for the pets to play with and, it's... it's a yugioh/hello kitty crossover plush toy thing. First time I saw it I didn't realize what I was looking at, second time I stopped and stared for a bit and went "... wait a second. Is that a dark magician girl hello kitty?"

and then I checked and it was

someone thought it was a good idea to have hello kitty cosplay one of the most lewded card game related characters in existence and i'm just wondering

why

E: Though further check looks like Emi is this person! They haven't been active on the forum for over a year though

E2: Also there's a thread about the 404s! I hadn't even noticed we had a wiki subforum ahaha

Spilled a bit of coffee on my computer. Thought it was fine, it hadn't gone inside the case, but I guess a bit got on the power button because it just started turning itself on and off.

Turned off the PSU and unplugged it, just got to hope it doesn't get fried. If it does it's probably just the case that'd need replacing at least.

One unknown silly guy peed in the stairwell of my school’s dormitory building … However, it’s wtf that there are public toilets a few steps away. What he did was posted on my on-campus forum and criticized by a lot of people , it’s even more wtf that he verbal abused everyone that criticized him… There must be something wrong with him about what he did and what he said.

It’s also weird that the surveillance camera didn’t take the picture of this guy, by the way, if this happened in my hometown 20 years ago, the mayor in my hometown( who was imprisoned for corruption) would give him a hard time ,this silly guy will be forced to apologize to the public in the prime gear. Maybe it’s a violation of human rights, but it truly improved the whole public’s morality quality.

In fact, our university forum is also a mainly anonymous forum with opinions that you can decide whether you post anonymously or not. Usually we choose to be anonymous to protect our privacy, however this silly guy chose to show his id ‘an aggressive baby dragon’.

The wiki is administrated by many of the same people as DFHack, they hav a wiki channel on their discord (https://dfhack.org/discord) that can be used to report such issues. The 404 only happens for me if I'm logged out and the url doesn't hav the "www." at the begining.

[King Zultan]

At least we aren't getting the 404s on the forum.

[Ziusudra]

Yes, and the ones on the wiki hav been fixed.

I was idly scrolling through the list of games released for the Nintendo Switch eShop this week, and saw that Hard Time 3 was on there. I don't know what was more bizarre, that three games were made, or that it managed to work on the Switch. This is the same guy who deliberately had the first one crash on exit because he couldn't properly code an exit function, and also thought he was hot shit because he figured out the idea of multiple save slots.

Also on the same list of releases was an H-game. Now that I think about it, the Nintendo eShop doesn't do any kind of age verification for purchasing adult games, does it?

I swear that magic exists, and exclusively to fuck with me.

Nail clippers vanished. Used them earlier today, looked everywhere for them. Checked my jean pockets three times.

Decided to have one more go and what do you know, somehow they were in the jean pockets.

Oh man, I hadn't thought about MDickie for years, and then just last week I was pondering on what a chaotic and storied career he's had... And now this. I was aware of 1 and 2, but I don't think 3 ever entered my periphery... Unless that's the one that went 2D?

I was in London recently, and it felt like every pedestrian except me ignored the traffic lights, just waiting for a gap.
Also, around 15% cyclists ignored their traffic lights, which obviously resulted in several cases when cyclists almost hit pedestrians.

Jaywalking isn’t a thing in the UK. Usually when you want to cross a road you do just look for a gap in traffic, whether it’s at a traffic light or not.

Cyclists are also odd creatures. The only times I have ever been close to being hit by something as a pedestrian it’s always been a cyclist.
