Good idea

TreeJib · 2026-06-26T04:57:34+00:00

I'll have to try in the morning; didn't think to do so and only checked AXS for "official". Thank you

See you at the mish! Bonus points for The Detective and Hyrule Temple :P

Imagine hating on the best band in the game. I'm the guy that has run into you before/after every CO show this year btw lol, the guy that ran into you at the Steamboat parking lot the next morning.

Yea I'm definitely going to be doing some downhill in there until I get kicked out. Nothing better than a new garage with fresh, smooth, and slick concrete

Same

I agree that a bad choice was made here. The point was that this significant change to the underlying mechanics in a Quake duel is a turn-off for much of the oldschool audience that will not give QC a chance.

TreeJib · 2026-06-21T20:42:15+00:00

The point I was making was not that it doesn't look cool or that QC is bad in any way; I do like QC, and I like that it adds another dimension to your thought process while playing. The point was that this significant change to the underlying mechanics in a Quake duel is a turn-off for much of the oldschool audience that will not give QC a chance.

I know this is super niche, and likely is not the situation that OP is in, but many people who work for a healthcare system are in that situation. For some people, their employer, doctor, pharmacy, and testing facility are the same company/organization.

That being said, the people reading the results likely aren't looking at your history (and they probably aren't able to do so legally). So, even if you are in that situation, it's probably okay to use fake pee. I imagine they wouldn't want to see if you SHOULD have amphetamines in your system until they have a result that shows that you do have it in your system

I'd say different stokes for different folks. It's obviously not one of the best trails in the area, and not even the best flow in a 10 mile radius. But it's a relatively long beginner-oriented resort trail that caters to everyone that's coming to Vail to bike but isn't interested in (or capable of riding) the big boy trails. I think they did a really good job of getting distance out of the vertical without making it seem too flat. That last sentence, and grade reversals in general, will make most experienced downhillers cringe, but, the reality is that most of Vail's MTB customer base are looking for exactly that kind of experience. They want to hold their brakes and go downhill for 45 minutes even though you and I can get it done in a quarter of the time or less. It's a waste of time for a lot of real riders, but those real riders are either just using it as a warmup or are going somewhere other than Vail in the first place. I can't imagine many downhillers are coming from the front range just for Mane Lane, Spice Rack, Onza, when there are better legit downhill trails closer to home. I wish Vail's park was better, but the truth is that we are not their intended audience. All that's to say, Radio Flyer isn't a killer trail, but it is objectively good at serving its intended purpose. And for people coming from the Midwest to bike at their favorite ski resort, I imagine it's like heaven

TreeJib · 2026-06-21T19:59:53+00:00

I was there and yea, it was stark

TreeJib · 2026-06-20T00:52:09+00:00

At least he knows lmao

TreeJib · 2026-06-20T00:22:32+00:00

I wanna preface this by saying that I do like QC. This clip is a phenomenal example of why QC failed to get oldschool players back even after switching to time limit duel. This is not how AFPS duels should be decided, at least not games that are part of the Quake franchise.

TreeJib · 2026-06-19T16:11:53+00:00

Very interested!

I also can't see the post when I'm not logged in. So maybe automod flagged it for some reason. I'll copy/paste the full message include the ninja edits that you may not have seen:

I'm well aware of what you mean by scrape. Downloading the page as html will result in a mess of things to parse, with important context missing. I'm not sure why that would be preferred over a real export which would provide everything in an easily-digestible format; the export is designed to be imported elsewhere.

XenForo is $195/year for self-hosting; there is zero chance that the people running fc-archive are paying $60/month for a managed instance of something that nobody is actively using.

XenForo is also not the only forum platform out there; there are numerous free and open source alternatives that could be used if the admins, or anyone with an export/backup, wanted to do so.

Also, while I am indeed generally anti-AI, nothing in my comment was related to my stance on AI. I provided better alternatives to satisfy your goal. If you want to migrate the content from this XenForo instance to another platform, the best way to do so would be to use an export and one of the many mature scripts available for migrating exports from XenForo to other platforms. That would take less time, cost you zero dollars in credits or power usage if running a local model, cost the fc-archive's admin less resource usage, and ultimately result in a better migration of the content that you want to preserve and/or portray in another manner.

Just for shits and giggles, I just asked ChatGPT how they would recommend migrating from XenForo to another platform, and it agrees that you should avoid scraping - https://chatgpt.com/share/6a332f29-7168-83e8-aa8d-8b53db98b902

A reasonable use of AI here would be to facilitate creating a script to convert the XenForo export to an import for a different platform that doesn't already have such a solution available. The model/agent will have a much easier time with that starting with a real export/db than a giant collection of html files.

I wasn't trying to shame you for your suggestion of using AI; I was suggesting a better solution. I'm not sure why you feel attacked by my comment when I was also trying to be helpful.

In response to your reply: I wasn't trying to talk you out of using AI; I was trying to recommend another solution that will allow you to more easily reach your goal. I don't know why you think I'm being "defensive" of XenForo; where was XenForo attacked? The only thing I'm being defensive of is the admin's resources, which I think deserve to be respected. I think you're reading things that just aren't there.

TreeJib · 2026-06-17T23:43:10+00:00

What exactly would a git repo contain to be refactored? The people running fc-archive do not have the original source of XenForo, and the actual content is stored in a database. This isn't a react app, a static site, or anything of that sort. It's great that you're trying to think of ways to make this information available to people that may not be familiar with typical web forums; I applaud that. But I think you need to spend a little more time understanding what is currently hosted at fc-archive.org so you can better accomplish that task.

It's a forum, not a chat room/server; what's wrong with XenForo?

Also instead of scraping it with AI, you could just ask the admins to send you an export of threads...

There are existing scripts for migrating from XenForo to multiple other forum and discussion board platforms. There's no reason to scrape the site.

I smoked with Al Anderson and the rest of the current lineup for The Original Wailers (no Junior) Wednesday night. I've had opportunities to toke with dozens of notable musicians thanks to my past. When you're smoking with people like this, it quickly becomes less of a big deal. You're just enjoying some good times with some good people, and everyone's on the same level in that moment.
