aeronmelon , to retrogaming in San Andreas ROM for PS2 has been taken down by Rockstar on Vimm's Lair

Is it because that version of the game had the “hot coffee” code on the disc?

Maybe because it’s superior to the version they are selling

The fun part is – it is superior because it includes missions you can do in coop unlike it’s release on PC where they were cut. I don’t remember if it could play your own music tho.

Oh forgot about that, I was thinking of the graphics, which you cant get on PC without modding

So weird am I right?

Side note, I’m impressed Vimm’s lair is still going strong. I remember using it to get SNES ROMs for ZSNES early 2000s.

Yeah, everyday I fear it'll get taken down. I'm seriously unsure how it's lasted this long. I hope it stays up forever though.

kratoz29 ,

Wow, I definitely didn’t know it was that old, I know about it recently because ROM sites have become more difficult to browse and find (good sourced).

The look of the page definitely checks those days though.

takedowns are automated these days, either through full automation or paying low cost labor in places like India to just do google searches. Rockstar isn’t “doing” anything here, aside from paying someone else to issue the takedowns. and the someone else doesn’t know enough or care enough to apply logic that would cause all the other versions to get taken down too.

I didn't know about this 10 minutes ago, but now I'm downloading it from a torrent.

Good job Rockstar, you fucking losers.

kratoz29 ,

It doesn’t matter if you are downloading it, what matters is that you’ll play it and/or won’t get the “Definitive Edition” or whatever is called the crap they are changing for this one.

This and cdromance were the 2 sites I thought were untouchable since google often didn’t return them. Nothing is sacred.

kratoz29 ,

Nothing is sacred.

Torrents are, but that requires commitment (seed, don’t leech only).

Disonantezko ,

Last time I did check Cdromance, don’t have links to download anymore, I like that place because has many roms with patched QoL romhacks. Maybe now you need to have an account.

You go to the same url but .org and put the new cdr_ticket number there.

This gave me some real Agent Smith vibes

This is too USA for me to understand a single line

manucode ,

The only thing I could discern was that this man probably did some type of sports, though I’m less than certain about that.

He was a legendary race car driver for NASCAR. Basically the Messi of stock car racing (idk much about football. Or NASCAR for that matter)

Ty for the link. I remember the day he died my dad was pretty torn up by it. Now I have a lot more context.

BigWheelPowerBrakeSlider ,

He was an excellent (arguably one of if not the best) race car driver in the American NASCAR series.

TheRealKuni , to memes in Raise Hell!

Then he died an avoidable death because he refused to wear the HANS device, which was optional at the time, and which likely would’ve saved his life in his fatal crash.

Also, I never realized Bruno Mars was the Unibomber!

Blum0108 ,

Maybe fungus MSG? I googled it and found

“The Mycoses Study Group (MSG) is a group of experts in medical mycology, focusing their work on understanding and treating invasive fungal infections. Members of the MSG are affiliated with leading academic institutions and healthcare organizations around the world.”

Probably not it, but who knows?

Ponchy , to memes in Means and ends

Ah yes, fungus mfb

JayDee , to memes in Means and ends

Highly recommend folks watch Wendigoon’s summary of the unibomber.

TLDR: unibomber was probably not as based as many attribute him being. Was mostly mentally unwell and seeking some form of recognition.

Mirshe ,

His manifesto is full of a bunch of problematic racial overtones as well.

Is anyone else getting Lieutenant Dangle boot scootin’ vibes from that statue?

Just me?

Ok
