What if someone reach 2000 points? He will gain a rank VIII?

When that happens... they will... uh... hmm...

They will get a 60 dollar Nintendo or Sony giftcard! :P (If I'm still a mod when that happens)

And also get the super duper GOLDEN DUPLICATE HUNTER RANK VIII AWARD!!!

I'd convert my prize into RGT donations anyway, if that happens.

I found some maybe potential duplicates in spanish in the somewhat unfortunate non-english forum
Thread 'Juegos que son conocidos por ser odiados o tener una mala recepción pero cuando los jugaste no te parecieron tan malos' https://retrogametalk.com/threads/j...los-jugaste-no-te-parecieron-tan-malos.19784/
Thread 'Juegos que sientan que son infravalorados o "incomprendidos"' https://retrogametalk.com/threads/juegos-que-sientan-que-son-infravalorados-o-incomprendidos.19650/
Basically, underrated/overhated game threads (i post one of these threads, in my defense, i wasn't a duplicate hunter back then and was a somewhat new member to the forums).
Thread 'PERSONA 3 PORTABLE - THE SHADOW HOUR' https://retrogametalk.com/threads/persona-3-portable-the-shadow-hour.16859/
Thread 'Un mod de Persona 3 Portable' https://retrogametalk.com/threads/un-mod-de-persona-3-portable.10413/
Both are threads that talk about a romhack of Persona 3 Portable.

Also, we should do something about happy birthday threads? (The ones that celebrate members birthdays)
Thread 'The Official RGT Birthday Thread ' https://retrogametalk.com/threads/t...tying-faceparty-popperexclamation-mark.21756/
Thread 'Happy birthday Yousef!' https://retrogametalk.com/threads/happy-birthday-yousef.8185/
Thread 'Happy Birthday.' https://retrogametalk.com/threads/happy-birthday.15007/

The same guy posted the same mod on 2 different places

To merge: three threads talking about Myrient's closure.

Myrient is closing March 31, 2026

I'd probably advise against sharing that stuff here, anyway. It'd be up to the forum admin and owner of the Repo if they want to start adding PS3 games on there

Well, here we are...

1775009004 On the bright side, I think Minerva is up and working now, but it's mostly through torrents.

Might be worth merging (or linking) this with hot takes.

The "Sacred Cows" of gaming: Which classic do you actually find... awful? 🙊

There are those games that always top every "Top 100 of all Time" list. Anyone who criticizes them immediately faces a storm of outrage online. But let's be honest: not every classic is a must-have today. Let's slaughter the "sacred cows". Which game is celebrated by everyone but it just never...

@Aldia While those are all definitely hot takes, that thread is strictly for video games, while the Hot Takes thread is full-on random. But don't be discouraged, I'm very grateful for you joining DH.

@Archienine +2 points

The points required for could use a nerf to make the ranks more achievable, especially the lower ones. I also stretched it to 10 ranks and rearranged the titles to progress in order of what I thought would be increasing "intensity". With my suggestion, it would mean I'm already max rank but let's be real, no one else is insane enough and even 100 points is a massive amount.

Spoiler: My suggestion

Rank 1-7 is the standard and 8-10 is extra which is why they have the same base name as rank 7.

Rank	Title	Score Required
I	Duplicate Scout	5
II	Duplicate Tracker	10
III	Duplicate Seeker	25
IV	Duplicate Chaser	50
V	Duplicate Pursuer	75
VI	Duplicate Stalker	100
VII	Duplicate Hunter	150
VIII	Duplicate Hunter (Expert)	200
IX	Duplicate Hunter (Master)	300
X	Duplicate Hunter (Legend)	500

 

[JustLooking456]

@Glimbo +1 point and those suggestions are good, I like them. I'll run it by JustLooking123 and Kamako later.

link-sharing, starting with the one I think should be the main title (also in the correct subforum):

Unreal & Unreal Tournament now available on Internet Archive

After Epic Games cancelled UT4 and removed the franchise from every store front, now they have given the okay to put Unreal and Unreal Tournament on the Internet Archive. Game: https://archive.org/details/gt-unreal-1998 https://archive.org/details/ut-goty Installers...

PSA: A lot of classic Anime on Archive.org

Been Watching Episodes of Tenchi Muyo!, Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion and a lot more on Archive.org; most of it in very decent quality/definition. A lot of the movies are on there, too. It's been a godsend for me lately. I've been having them play in the background while I work, since I'm on a...

general talk, my suggestion is to merge all the following threads and change the title to something like "archive.org general talk" or "megathread":

Backing everything up on the internet archive

I'm thinking about backing up my entire emulated game collection onto the internet archive so that I can download my collection, either partially or completely, to any device I want. I just don't want to lose everything I've worked hard to collect since late 2012. Plus, the more I download the...

The Internet Archive is in trouble

The Internet Archive has been sued again, this time by major record labels who are demanding a payment of $700 million. In response, the Internet Archive organized a petition. You can read more here: https://blog.archive.org/2025/04/17/take-action-defend-the-internet-archive/

PC - internet archive is horrible now

It seems that now their internet is very slow """"Real image from their office"""" 12 hours for a simple 300 mg file is absurd. I've had a literal 15,000 ping on a foreign server, but that's unacceptabl I'd like to find a website with a list of all Windows versions accessible with just a...

EUI download old games and CDs, and I'm discovering anime game CDs from Mexico.
