PSA: @TencentGlobal is aggressively scraping the Internet to build yet another AI slop chatbot, DDoSing many websites in the process.
We've found that, as of last week, their scraping bots can now solve Cloudflare challenges and behave like real users while ignoring robots.txt. In the last 24 hours alone, our website received more than 3 million successful requests from Tencent bot IP addresses, plus another 1 million that were blocked by Cloudflare challenges.
These recurring DDoS attacks from Tencent have been going on for over a year, and we have been constantly adjusting our firewall rules to filter them while trying not to impact Tencent's real users. Because that is no longer possible, we're now fully blocking Tencent IP addresses, starting with ASN 132203. We recommend other sysadmins do the same.
Other ASNs displaying similar abusive behaviour will also be fully blocked from our services.
We'd also like to thank @Cloudflare for sponsoring us with Project Alexandria as of 2025, giving our sysadmin the tools to keep RPCS3's online services running without service disruptions.

Happy Pride Month! Most of NS's roster is already openly gay/bi/ace/lesbian, but we do have something for you:
The Valkyrie strike fighter has come out as gay.
...We have a team of mechanics working round the clock to figure out what that actually means.

Asset creation is really annoying and takes a lot of time so part of working on Aggressors has been just making tools to speed it up (without AI cuz that's bad).
Here's a WIP program I plan to eventually release to aid in cockpit creation by essentially being a console editor.
Supermaneuver's improved collapsible structure system where if you destroy key structural points, the whole building collapses dynamically
Game's link pinned in my profile :)

Radio texturing is finally done.
Spent some time researching how the VOTV devs actually render their stuff so i could match their style.
Honestly really happy with it, but definitely still room to improve.

Every time I see genderbent Ramirez
I like to imagine a very cute romance story between her and Cpl. Dunn
But those two idiots can't figure out how to show their feelings towards each other and sergeant Foley just sits there in the humvee trying to wingman but it's to no avail
Day 8 of posting about my game, until a release a Steam Demo
I'm adding new content to the game, starting with barricades. Which are red and scary and whatever.
I think it looks cool.
