I occasionally write long posts but you should assume I'm talking out of my ass until proved otherwise. I do like writing shit sometimes.
50/50 chance of suit pictures end up here or on the Art Directory account. Good luck.
Be 18+ or be gone you kids act fuckin' weird.

in reply to @plumpan's post:
To transfer stuff on floppy disks to an old computer, because zip installer that supports split files does not fit into a floppy uncompressed; but rar installer does! Awawawawa
Ok sure, except this is a 5GB video split into 143.1MiB chunks
Like yeah I could see why this was a thing 15 years ago, splits for floppy or CD size or whatever, but I don't think it serves any useful purpose now. Maybe when you intend the file to be transferred via arcane methods instead of just making a damn torrent. In this case the files were in a torrent.
Wait. 143 mb? There’s no explanation for that except probaaaably a ZIP disk, but even then their capacities are 100 and 250. Huh.
Who in their right mind is trying to sneakernet video media on anything less than like, 16GB nowadays?
143MiB might mean more sense in MB, no idea.
Somebody in "the scene" decided we needed split rar files to ensure "better integrity" like 15+ years ago and a bunch of people decided to keep that going despite "the scene" being dead or never really being real in the first place.
I just find it funny how release group standards, many of which were formalised in a time when the Internet was on average much slower and much less ubiquitous, refuse to fucking die even when stuff isn't being released by a formal scene group.
yea shit sucks
In this case the real blame is using a private tracker that doesn't ban split archive uploads but, ah well
(not rar, but i do sometime split 7z (8MB chunks) when sending someone a "medium-sized" file through discord)
