   There's a new DOS gaming account on Birbsite! They specialize in making new cracks for old games. Oh, but also...
   - website downloads are locked behind a forced account. 🤔
   - they offer a paid account tier. 🤔
   - they use AI slop to advertise the website. 🤔
   - Birbsite checkmark. 🤔
   - they follow a bunch of right wingers. 🤔
   - they are just a bigot from Germany. 🤷
   Yeah, bud. This ain't it. 😄

     The biggest delusion besides of the bigotry in the replies is a belief that someone would actually pay for a crack for LOOM in the year of our lord 2024.

     @dosnostalgic Do they...know that SCUMMVM exists? Or any of the copies you can snag on Steam or GOG? This is a VERY weird mindset to have in this day and age!

     @Ferrovore They do. I think they are just an old school hacking enthusiast with a lot of time on their hands.

     @dosnostalgic Alas, I imagine they don't put nearly as much effort into the art side of the old demo/cracking scene...
