The Mercy GOAT returns for Unranked to Champion
The account started in Masters. I will post updates after milestones have been hit. This should beat the 5,000 games from last time getting to GM.

An alarming amount of peers are showing up on a torrent from Nyaa that has few seeders/leechers. Is something going on?
A really cool torrent got put on Nyaa recently so I've decided to seed it for awhile. It's getting about maybe 7 snatches a day, it's niche but pretty interesting. One thing I can't understand though. The seed number on nyaa is like 12 and the "leechers" are about 10. I'm pretty sure the leechers are just partial downloaders though. However the "Peers" section of the torrent in the QBittorrent client shows approx 30 IP addresses, mostly from China all 0.0% progress. They arrive for like 10 seconds, leave then another lot of Chinese IPs join. Very rarely it's also Taiwan, Malaysia etc but this is maybe 1-2 at most. Have seen the occasional USA or Japan do the same.
What on earth is going on?

Fightcade is clearly abandonware at this point. Can we transfer ownership to people who actually care about the FGC?
It's been 2 years since the last "update". Fightcade is hanging on by a thread.
The Discord is just a never ending loop of
Person 1: Hey this is broken or people are abusing this to not lose ranked points etc
Person 2: That's just how it is. The devs don't get paid.
Last month there was a bit of discussion over some vile behaviour in one of the rooms. Some guy just spamming racist usernames and the comments are just "what do you expect?"
I am 100% certain in this. If you give some respected players of the community some low level moderation ability it would significantly increase how good fightcade is without even having to change much actual code.
I don't know the exact details but a post on the discord about pof: He doesn't change a single line of code until they (the owners) PAY him. They haven't PAID him, so he doesn't update Fightcade. Period.
So... who are the owners? Clearly people are being paid because there is a patreon. I see multiple yellow names in lobbies.

Think I just discovered a pretty big bug. If you change character during round changeover on KOTH (what I did), you get kept in the old spawn room.
On Ilios. Maybe it's something else causing it but that's all I did/remember. Doors stayed shut so game removed me for inactivity. Exported replay code to get this.
Edit: Another comment says you likely have to be respawning and change character.

I'm looking for a compilation of funny phone call pranks/songs made around 1999/2000 on cassette. Included Paisley tapes prank "Jaffa" and Billy Connoly singing a rude version of "Faith". Possibly sold at "the barras".
This is the Jaffa prank call: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5UbLvSjruA
Faith parody: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7eIlEjWJr0
But the cassette had maybe 2-3 more songs that I just can't remember, last heard it around 2000. I'm posting here because of a comment made on the Jaffa video. "Had this on cassette fae the barras about 1999". I'm not from Glasgow but apparently this would mean some market in Glasgow and the time sort of fits. I doubt it was that popular or just a personal compilation someone made but thought I would ask.

Is it normal for teenagers (say 16/17) not to know who Queen/Oasis are?
Hopefully this is just an anomaly but I really need to know. Was listening to someone around 23 speaking to a 17 year old. Some lines.
"Do you know who Oasis is?" "The drink? It's alright"
"Surely you know who Queen is?" "Nope"
"Michael Jackson?" "I know of them but not a song".
"Elvis?" "Didn't he die in some weird f upped way from constipation?"
Also didn't know who the Kaiser Chiefs were but weirdly knew who Bruce Lee was. Is this normal for teenagers?
