I kinda hate that my retrohunt was so intertwined with RA that I somehow became synonymous with RA, like I'm so disgusted right now.
I have no direct connection with the site besides just wanting to hangout w/friends on a shared retro journey, play my favorite games, and make a cute wall of icons.

Yeahhhh like I wanna give people a chance to change and do better -- but I definitely get what ya mean. Like until I see a firm stance backed by some effort, I'll be holding off on retrohunt.

More Retrohunt cleanup on my day off, nothing major here just some novelty clears, otherwise got the 100% on Trip World, and Summer Carnival '92: Alzadick (I'll upload both later).
And started Dr. Mario & Puzzle League, which outta all the versions of PdP so far, is like the smoothest feeling.

Figure I'll do the rest of the DuckTales mastery off stream I figure... the treasure hunting achievements are VERY finicky/slow and 10mil is more grindy than anything else.
With Monster Hunter Wilds dropping soon, probably pump the RetroHunt breaks after Samurai Pizza Cats 🤔

Although I got lots done for RetroHunt since Halloween it does feel like my chronological approach stalled in 1988 after getting hit by the 4-way releases of Zelda II, Bionic Commando, Metal Gear, and Blaster Master 😩💦
But gonna do my best to break through that over the next month or two.

For initial numbers and a large sample set, we ran a one-year retrohunt for API keys in software submitted to VT: ~7k samples containing ~5.5k OpenAI keys and ~400 Anthropic keys.
We knew most would be benign, but it was still surprising how many developers embed API keys.
