the ddos machine and internet are both hitting cloudflare, but cloudflare is only letting good (well, "good") traffic through. the linode is behind a cloud firewall that prevents it from being seen by random scanners, so that the ddos dipshit cannot find it to start attacking it directly.

Don't give up on anyone that shares beta information about video games. Cutting Room Floor, Hard4Games, Beta64, The Hidden Palace. They're the reasons why we have this unlocked information that otherwise would go unnoticed. And if you truly care about the retro scene, I think you should support them

I set up a backup backup server and somehow even that one gets DDoSed, neat! This person is very persistent.

Fortunately, so am I. So, welcome to round four! Hopefully this time we'll be up for more than a few hours.

We'll keep working to get things back online. See you soon!

Update from Linode... we're still waiting for the attack to subside. There's nothing we can do. We do have all of the files and data backed up, and can migrate if it comes down to it.
Unfortunately, Cloud Firewall wouldn't help in this specific case, since the block is happening further upstream, before traffic even reaches your Linode's own firewall rules.The most reliable path here is letting the automated mitigation run its course, it's specifically designed to lift once the attack traffic settles, and that's the resolution we'd recommend standing by for.

We're actively monitoring the situation on our end and will let you know as soon as we see things stabilize.

The Cutting Room Floor
Server offline

Welcome to The Cutting Room Floor, a wiki about cut, unused, and left over content in video games. Unfortunately, our server is currently offline due to a DDoS attack.

We'll be back as soon as possible; the server is online and healthy, but traffic to it has been blocked until the DDoS subsides.

For updates, check @tcrf.net on Bluesky. Unfortunately, we're no strangers to scrapers/AI bots and DDoS traffic...

In the mean time, consider checking out our Discord server, or support us via Patreon or Ko-fi.
This is all really stupid

This DDoS seems to have been triggered by someone using Claude Code and getting banned from the site for it, intentionally evading that ban to make up a fake story about their LLM wiping their entire OS, and then firing off multiple abuse reports to our host.

It may not surprise you that this guy has some interesting thoughts on consent, or that he has multiple blog posts in which he brags about poisoning LLMs to win championships or flooding a social network with spam to give himself 1,000,000 followers.

Why are AI people always like this.

Like honestly the most telling thing here is that when faced with the slightest resistance of "stop flooding the site with scraper traffic" their response is to pay someone else to take revenge for them because they don't actually have the technical skill to do anything real on their own

Linode got back to us, and unfortunately it looks like it was what we suspected: another DDoS attack started and an automatic mitigation kicked in. Hopefully things will be back to normal soon!
Thank you for your patience while we investigated this.

We confirmed that an automated mitigation block targeting incoming TCP port 443 traffic was triggered at the router level in response to the recent DDoS activity against your IP (198.58.122.110).

Because this block is managed by our automated DDoS defense system, we do not have a specific ETA for its manual removal. However, once the DDoS event subsides and attack traffic is clear, the system will automatically remove the block and restore normal HTTPS traffic.

We are actively monitoring the situation on our end to ensure connectivity is restored as soon as traffic conditions stabilize. Please let us know if you have any additional questions in the meantime.

In the interview, Ueda gives context for the mysterious dinosaur tiles found within Lady Bug's sprite data. These sprites were actually designed to serve as an in-game ad for Ueda's next planned project, an entirely dinosaur-themed game, that ultimately never came to fruition.
The sprites for Lady Bug as seen in MAME's tile viewer; towards the end of the ROM are sprites for a giant dinosaur and a bone.The compiled dinosaur sprites, as ripped by @golds-tcrf.bsky.social.

update re: the tcrf Brawl Stars page. i replied asking for a list of what, specifically, is violating said policy.
(my email)
Hello. I am the owner/operator of The Cutting Room Floor wiki (aka "TCRF").

First: we have complied with the takedown demands. The content at https://tcrf.net/Brawl_Stars is no longer available, and the page has been replaced with a notice and a replica of your demands.

TCRF is a community wiki dedicated to preserving details of game development, as well as cut and unused content. (see Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cutting_Room_Floor_(website) ). The linked page did not offer any kind of replacement for the game in question; it is literally a repository of things removed from it.

I would prefer to have this content and history remain available. To that end, I am CCing both the "IP team" at Fondia and Supercell's legal contact e-mail address in hopes that a human can address what appears to be an automated takedown request. Hopefully we can get some answers.

[from IP-Team.Supercell]
