By title sounds cool, but clicking the goes to solving a cryptographic hash and says may take upto a minute....

It's a DDoS protection, if you wait a bit longer it takes you to the forum.

I'll paste the text and links to the game below:

Today, on the 5th anniversary of Terry Davis's death I release my 4th annual tribute. A TempleOS-first crossplatform software rasterizing 3D rendering engine. Featuring skeletal animation, normal mapping, shadow mapping, cubemaps, monochromatic renderer for 16 color palettization, Quake BSP(2) support for light baking and PVS culling. A unique single PC speaker synthesis workflow. Freestanding, baremetal, no GPU, scales with cores, supports everything including desktop and web browsers via WASM.

Download source and TempleOS ISO: https://scumgames.neocities.org/cyberchud

Try it in your browser (with a 25% performance penalty): https://cyberchud.kiwifarms.gg/cyberchud-bin.html

TempleOS first, other binaries releases to follow.

kiwifarms? you may as well drop a link to stormfront at this rate.

It's a very cool, technically impressive project made as tribute to an unorthodoxly brilliant programmer.

Yes, the announcement was made on Kiwifarms forum - so what?

It means they associate with, or at least tolerate, bad people.

It's no worse than what you would find on 4chan.

While 4chan isn't that great, Kiwifarms is a significantly worse place.

For instance, 4chan bans doxing while Kiwifarms encourages it.

So does Twitter, are you gonna complain about every tweet link posted here?

Kiwifarms is far worse than twitter. It's not really comparable. Twitter bans doxing, while Kiwifarms encourages it.

For those who aren't aware, kiwifarms is a website that was ostensibly something like a gossip forum, but in practice basically ended up being used for cyberstalking and harassment. They would frequently harass and doxx people. Their wikipedia page covers parts of it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms

Kiwifarms, now banned, official twitter page said their goal was “exploitation of the mentally handicapped for amusement purposes”. ( Source: https://archive.is/jYp5p ).

I think Kiwifarms is (borderline) criminal. Null, the admin of the site, outright said he was ok with users posting stolen financial information, such as Social Security Numbers and Credit cards. Source: https://archive.is/0fOcS . There are many examples of private financial information being posted on the site.

I would describe them as operating with a paper thin layer of "plausible" deniability. Officially you aren't allowed to harass or interact with the targets. But posting their home address, stolen passwords, phone numbers, and information about relatives is all allowed.

But even the rule against interacting with "lolcows" (called "cowtipping") is haphazardly enforced. For example, one user had sex with a "lolcow" and posted photos. The admin explicitly said they would allow the content to remain up: https://archive.is/zYnpK#35%
