Hey all... Due to the PHP vulnerability, we've had to take down the front page of starmen.net and all related servers running PHP until a fix is implemented. The forum is thankfully unaffected and we're working out how to best proceed with the site going forward. Apologies for any inconvenience 🙇

played through mother 3 in japanese this past month and it felt like checking off an 18 year long sidequest. The fan translation was such a rich vector for getting me into other great games and artists and books. happy near anniversary to that project.

this is why @rofish.bsky.social had to force people to log in to see the Starmen forums – attendance was on the decline because its an ancient forum, and now its REALLY declining because its annoying to access. this sucks!

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.
