Basically this. tl;dr: being free and being first exposure to mobile instant messenger.

in my south east Asian country, back then we did have bundle sms pricing, buy when the mobile internet infrastructure was getting big money from governments, WhatsApp came in at the right moment. advertising them being free (with a minimal $1 or something lifetime fee nobody bothered to pay for) and can do texting and sending images for free. compared to paying bundled prices for sms and MMS, it’s just a no-brainer.

Oh it’s like that shoe company declaring they are an AI company.

Phone = 69 Computer = I don’t know

Ok who’s 002? As you can see from my instance, you probably can guess I know who rimu is.

I’m not too surprised really. modding old games and the mod pack takes literal decades to finish. for example red alert 2, tiberium sun, CNC generals (and zero hour) just for the ones that interest me.

bugs exists. modders fix bugs. especially so for games that are still getting updates, even one as scarcely updated as Terraria. I recall some long time ago the Terraria devs said the game is “finished” and then later on some big anniversary year they released a surprise update. my memory is faulty so don’t quote me

hardcore datahoarders are something else. And a boon when they share it

catbox.moe works too. Although files uploaded anonymously that have not had a download/hit in over 2 years will be removed from Catbox.. which is weird that was not the default since the beginning considering they’re not like other image hosting sites size and funding.
