I love that pirate groups still use ascii text art in their release notes. It’s like a little piece of the world that hasn’t changed in 30 years.
I need to find out how to make these. Mostly just cause I like it.
On Linux, you'll want to install figlet and toilet (both available in the debian repos)
Alternatively you've got this online frontend
If you really want to get weird with it you can also play any video in ascii art through libcaca and mplayer. Looks like this
I know you're 100% serious, but this sentence sounds so made up and hilarious
I use ~~Arch btw~~ Endeavour OS so don't have Debian repos but I will definitely check them out. I especially like the fancy dark mode.
I just checked and figlet at least appears to be in the arch repositories as well
Thanks, I will check it out tomorrow. I uave used pyfiglet in the past tbf so I figured it woukd be available either via the official repos or the AUR.
it's typically just a kind of pixel art with monospaced fonts¹. any characters you see that's not typically shown on your keyboard (e.g a filled square) can be found in a character selection program in your OS. anything else related to texts, templating and line breaks you can probably find a program somewhere on places like crates.io or gitlab or write something of your own without much trouble.
¹ a monospaced font is a font where every letter and character has the same spacing from each other, and are the easiest to do ascii art. (ascii is just one character table, but you can also gather unicode chars all you want)
And still include cheesy mp3s playing too loud in retro-futuristic-looking installers
The music in the installers is the best part about installing cracks
The track included in the Rune installer for Starfield was actually a banger
I love that the installer has a cracktro, that's the real good stuff.
I bopped to that shit for ages.
I pirated a cracked version of Adobe Acrobat Pro recently. First thing I had to crack in years. It had a sketchy crack installer , with music and everything. Like it was back in the 90s. Of course it worked perfectly lol.
Chiptune/tracker/keygen music will all hold a special place in my heart.
I really like the chip tunes, but I think they are not creating them anymore in the authentic way
Oh my too!
Somehow I expect hackers to do cooler stuff these days. I want hackers to release a Switch version of the game.
It can barely run on a gtx1070 man what kind of black magic do you expect a hacker to cast to make it run on a Switch
