TableSalt:
why do i bother
Foxscotch:
a few flags on virustotal doesn't mean much. dozens of antivirus software will flag something simply because they don't recognize it, and the techniques you have to use to get around a game's DRM are always going to trigger some antivirus software. it doesn't matter how safe it actually is. the fact that the other 62 results are "undetected" is significantly more meaningful than 8 complaining

this is for autohotkey's installer, a piece of software broadly considered to be trustworthy:



it is sometimes used for nefarious purposes, and so it gets some bad ratings
here's b4v21, which dozens of you have been using for years without a single complaint:

circumventing the game's DRM and distributing binary copies (even without fiddling with DRM) are already copyright infringement. kind of a weak justification

From the responses, Its well known, but people have invested too much to stop at this point.

"everyone agreed that it was a virus" means absolutely nothing. a bunch of teenage idiots on a discord server don't know a virus from their left ass cheek. you look at a virustotal page and start going off the rails

I hate modern video games lol

I don't feel like there's even much to criticize honestly. I've only played it a little and it was some time ago but it's generally well put together. definitely better than the average indie game, even ones people really like, like battlebit. the physics features they're adding on release I honestly don't care about, I don't feel like they're some key component that was missing. I don't even understand what you would do with that feature as a player lol. the vehicles on the other hand I see value in but I still wouldn't call it essential. what I do think is essential is modding. but you will probably never hear someone complaining about a game being incomplete because it doesn't have first-party modding support. so I don't really think it applies in the same way

I havent had any complaints until now, but if they are from the same person, this may go deeper than we think. We may havea been compromised for a long time. Isnt it funny how b4v21 isnt open source? Isnt it... suspicious?

You have a point, but isnt it odd how the mods banned my friend? Why would they ban them if he had no bearing?


--- Quote from: Foxscotch on July 21, 2023, 02:26:45 PM ---like battlebit.

mmhmm. Come back for kenko damage control and now you talk of battlebit. You need to leave. The blockland deep state is getting to your heard. Escape before its too late.

I legitimately can't tell if you're acting insane for funny purposes or if you are just insane. blockland isn't open source. isn't that suspicious?

no, it isn't. I'd ban someone for being a stupid annoying idiot too

H-O-L-Y.. stuff. Guys, I think foxscotch may be onto something

Its all coming together now. How many layers deep are we? Was the game rigged from the start?


EDIT but blockland still doesnt test positive for viruses
