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.

After that Imma probably start the retrohunt for the (GBA Version) of 🍂SUPER MARIO BROS. 3 and then maybe some 🐉MONHUNTER or 🃏BALATRO!

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 🤔

is this some new @virustotal "feature"? you can only run retrohunt rules across 90 days of data?

🗓️SCHEDULE UPDATE
Although plans got delayed hard, gonna try and *sneak* in some of the original ⚙️METAL GEAR before the end of May.

Otherwise we'll also be checking out 🔥NITRO EXPRESS this week, and expect big push over the next 2 weeks to clean up more Mega Madness, so expect lots of 🍋MEGA MAN!!

📢 Damn there's a non-zero chance I might not be able to stream tonight, there's huge internet outages where I live right now driving speeds down sub 1mbps 🥲

I haven't even wanted to retrohunt off-stream today in case the connection gives out entirely.

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.

Has to be vanilla Castlevania II for retrohunt unfortunately 😩💦 Credit where it's due, there's definitely some romhack versions that make the game legit enjoyable though!!

🔴STREAM'S STARTING @ twitch.tv/CODECHANNEL Kickin' off Day 1 of my Birthday week with a retrohunt for one of my favorite series 💥SUPER SMASH BROS. 🎉🎉🎉
