    I love that pirate groups still use ascii text art in their release notes. It’s like a little piece of the world that hasn’t changed in 30 years.

          On Linux, you’ll want to install figlet and toilet

          I know you’re 100% serious, but this sentence sounds so made up and hilarious

            I just checked and figlet at least appears to be in the arch repositories as well

        it’s typically just a kind of pixel art with monospaced fonts¹. any characters you see that’s not typically shown on your keyboard (e.g a filled square) can be found in a character selection program in your OS. anything else related to texts, templating and line breaks you can probably find a program somewhere on places like crates.io or gitlab or write something of your own without much trouble.

        ¹ a monospaced font is a font where every letter and character has the same spacing from each other, and are the easiest to do ascii art. (ascii is just one character table, but you can also gather unicode chars all you want)

      And still include cheesy mp3s playing too loud in retro-futuristic-looking installers

        The music in the installers is the best part about installing cracks

      I pirated a cracked version of Adobe Acrobat Pro recently. First thing I had to crack in years. It had a sketchy crack installer , with music and everything. Like it was back in the 90s. Of course it worked perfectly lol.

      I really like the chip tunes, but I think they are not creating them anymore in the authentic way

        It can barely run on a gtx1070 man what kind of black magic do you expect a hacker to cast to make it run on a Switch
