tastyspleen.net / 10 years
« on: February 12, 2025, 06:10:18 AM »
Greetings!! Or as the Chinese would say, 我的雞雞卡在窗戶裡了,請叫救護車。

This is your quarterly reminder that I am still here, collecting pieces of information on all of you so I can sell my Tastyspleen dossier to Indian hackers on the dark web.

It's been 10 years since I asked quadz to de-activate my old account, and 15 years since I initially joined this godforsaken corner of the old guard of the internet. Crazy, huh??? It's not really crazy. The passage of time has not and will never change. Do you remember February of 2025? Man those were some good times. That was when everything was so much simpler......



I wanna spend this moment to shout some people out/totally crash out depending on who we're talking about.

Big ups to cowie/Zeppelin, the Xprojects Secret Society (XSS for short) was a long and fruitful endeavor, it was a shame it had to come to an end. I hope that you all take the lessons and/or sexually transmitted diseases we got from our time together and bring them to those you love. Bip For Life.

I wanna give a quick Fuck You to Alpha, I find it very hard to fight against you on the DM server because my eyes well up with tears from the pity I feel for your lack of skill. I've secretly lobbied claire to specifically allow you to use a wallhack just so you can have a fair shot and finally start enjoying this game. I'm rooting for you, my man.

Giving a shout out to IceFox and Ruiner; IceFox is a true homie that I've shared plenty of personal stories and anecdotes with over the years. I have nothing ironic or stupid to say, I wish you good health in this life. May plenty of hot, big-dicked furry werewolf men enter your dreams (and your asshole). Ruiner, I'm glad we kissed and made up, but I think it's best if we stayed friends. I got your card in the mail and it was wonderful, but it's just not going to work out. It's not you, it's me. I think we should see other people. I'm keeping the flowers, though.

To VaeVictis, I'm really glad I could teach you how to finally play this game properly, it was a joy to spend so many hours of this game showing you all of the tips and tricks in this game! I'm so happy to be a mentor, and even (dare I say), a father figure to you, but your attitude just needs a little bit more work. Keep it up and you'll get there in no time!

Going to give a fat Suck My Cock to haunted/adren, I'm sure after you finally shake off all of that rust over the past decade, you'll finally be able to beat me when I'm not using only the grenade launcher! Maybe put in a little bit of practice, and you can handle me with the machinegun too (chaingun's too powerful, sorry).

Shout out to God2dum, your decision to fight me with blaster only and win 5-0 was very unsportsmanlike and quite frankly, hurt my feelings. You'll be receiving an invoice from my therapist for the mental damage this transgression has caused me. Failure to pay will result in a legal injunction to invalidate the results of the match. You've been warned.

Big thanks to Jehar and RottenRose, no memes here; thank you for helping keep Quake and other arena shooters alive in the modern streaming age. In another life, I probably would have been a regular contributor in your community. Oh well!!

To Exterminader, the thousands of zombie computers I have that I've specifically made to connect to your server and harass you have been acting up lately, so I apologize for any lack of action recently. Somehow you've manage to catch and ban every single one! I'm very impressed.

Big thanks to Golgo, the harassment over the years very obviously came from a very deep-seated place of insecurity looking back. True visionaries are never appreciated in the time period that they live in. You tried to give us the truth and we branded you a heretic like the Luddites that we were/still are. I can truly say that you are the Galileo of Quake 2. Embrace it, my friend.

Shouting out Kyper, please let me win TS500 please let me win TS500 please let me win TS500 please let me win TS500 please let me win TS500 please let me win TS500 please let me win TS500 ple

Shout out to beaver, I think it's great that you've done so much in promoting this game over the years and I sincerely apologize for the transgression on your server. I was just checking up on you and I didn't mean for it to come off that way. I don't appreciate the ban in response however, and would have liked an honest, private conversation about my behavior if it was that upsetting to you. There are better ways of dealing with stress than crashing out on social media and putting your deepest, darkest insecurities and traumatic memories out there for everyone to see, it gives off a very weird vibe and unflattering perception of you. I recommend journaling.

And lastly, big thanks to all of the nameless, faceless lurkers here who have either yet to make a name for themselves or are just gawking at the dumpster fires that happened here over the years. You're the real heroes.


If I didn't mention you, I either don't care or think about you at all or you're just not that important in this story. sorry....  :-[

I love you all, even my haters and their ugly ass children. Jah is good. Here's to all of our slow marches into nothingness for the next 10 years.

Thanks,

Quake / New Vortex server up - 108.178.55.116:27910
« on: August 06, 2015, 12:25:33 PM »
Hello,

I have a new server set up running the Vortex mod - [Rejects Dedicated Vortex Arena @ 108.178.55.116:27910]

Vortex is an RPG mod for Quake II, similar in vein to the KOTS mod.

The server is running Chilean Vortex v2.65, not GHz's Vortex. As of right now, the server is not completely set up the way I want it to be (q2admin is still not functional right now), generally speaking however, it is functional, and anything I do from now on won't affect anybody's characters. (I also backup everybody's characters every month).

If you already know how to play Vortex, let me know if there's anything I can do to improve the server in ways I can actively change.

Things that I can change about the server:
         
  • The maplist (Each play mode is restricted to 64 maps, however)
  • The amount of pregame time before combat starts
  • The rate in which people gain experience and credits (There are options to change the amount of experience gained in both PvP and PvM, meaning that it's possible to make it so that you can gain more experience in PvP as opposed to PvM {default}, vice-versa)
  • The amount of experience needed for a level up
  • Anything involving characters, that includes experience, credits, any type of points, and possibly character classes of pre-existing characters (I haven't tested this yet, but I do know it is an option with rcon)
  • Unique runes

Things that I cannot change about the server:
  • ANY changes to the source code, which includes:
    • The effectiveness of any aspect of every ability, weapon, talent, item, and class.
    • The effectiveness and rate of appearance of runes excluding uniques (when it comes to effectiveness).
    • Any aspect of monster AI.
    • Points gained after level-ups.
    • Adding new physical content.
    • Any technical details of the mod whatsoever (this is kind of hard to explain, but it pretty much includes anything I haven't already covered. Say you want the vrxmenu to change; how the vrxmenu is displayed is dictated in the source code, which is something I have no control over. Use your judgement for this one, but don't feel afraid to come to me about it).

I'm simply somebody who hosts the version of Vortex that I wanted to run, I cannot code, and I cannot change anything about the source; I had to get quadz (the admin of the Tastyspleen servers) to help me compile the .so file needed to just run the server. I really appreciate having people come up to me to call bugs to my attention, but just know that there's very little I can do about it.

Know, however, that if you exploit game-breaking bugs in the source code, your character will be at risk for deletion or worse.


If you don't know how to play Vortex, then just bind a key to "vrxmenu" and read these!

Quick how-to-start guide: http://www.moddb.com/downloads/mirror/11586/113/becdf225d1fadbe0eea178643aa1841b

Also, a standard client download that should include most models, sounds, and pics: http://www.moddb.com/downloads/start/11590?referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.moddb.com%2Fmods%2Fproject-vortex%2Fdownloads

(I'll probably expand on things to offer for new players in the future since Vortex is such a notoriously newb-unfriendly mod)

SERIOUS thanks to quadz, The Happy Friar, and Revo for helping me set up this goddamn server!

Thanks,
