          Iirc, when this place was still called Chapo.chat, someone tried to upload this photo of this DPRK soldier who was working at the DMZ. But the photo was so big that it got corrupted and crashed the website.

          Someone upscaled a picture of a DPRK soldier and it crashed their computer in the process, then they uploaded the corrupted image here to “see what would happen” and it crashed the server and put the image processing process in a loop of crashing, starting, and crashing again until it was manually shut off, IIRC.

          AFAIK it led to safeguards against that sort of thing being implemented, but I don’t know anything about that.

    Fun fact, in (at least) GzDoom you are able to change your gender! You can choose between Male, Female, Neutral and Object.

    Players have also been asking for pronoun options but Le No Chicken (Graf Zahl) has been a stupid fucking gamer about it. Not to mention a developer of a project which barely even fucking works nowadays due to it being hampered by its base design. Here’s the thread, read only if you can live with the gamer nonsense being spewed:

    PrBoom+ is the better engine, don’t @ me 😎😎😎

      The first page of that discussion was actually really good. Other than Graf being a dunce about it, people were voicing support for the pronoun options. Then I turned to the second page, where now the discussion had shifted towards being wary of “political statements”. Never change, Gamers.
