One game I do not even know the title of. My brother used to play it when I was 6 years old. I remember the game being monochrome, not sure about the crt itself. But it was a kind of XCOM if I’d have to describe it, about some crew that lands on an underwater planet. It’s still my white whale coz I still have not found even the name . I tried chatgpting suggestions recently to no avail.
Are you sure it's not XCOM terror of the deep?
Our monitor at the time must have been monochrome then, damn!! The ship with the units inside def makes me think this is the one. Playing it soon!! Thanks so much!
Very welcome! You saying it was XCOMesque that i was like "it's gotta be that!" Glad to be of some help!
Nice work!
Thank you!
Was hoping we could help some people! Maybe I’ll do a monthly since the community is still small here on Lemmy
Beautiful idea! I'd be down!
Please @cuchilloc, let us know if this is it!
I think it is !
I love a happy ending 🥲
Second this as that’s literally the premise
This of a perfect Tip of My… type of question. Maybe we start an instance here! Pride of XCOM 2 I’m not too familiar with other franchises. What year?
Looks like we’ve cracked it. Terrors of the deep ftw!
It's not a white whale, it's a Holy Grail. The white whale is something that occupies your every waking moment and you wish to eliminate so you can get on with your life.
It could a white whale for some, but good distinction
Put in the apartment application tonight. My credit’s better than it’s ever been, I have more cash on hand than I’ve ever had before, I even have money to pay movers this time. I don’t want to jinx it so I’m gonna expect obstacles still, but it’s looking good.
AND I got approved. Holy shit I'm so excited.
You have no idea how dead one's dating life becomes when they are 40 and have no place of their own. But mostly I'm looking forward to whatever untold levels of mental health await me when I get alone time every day, and don't have to worry about the rent.
I've had apartments before ... and I was always late on the rent.
I had a really high-paying job once ... but I was moving from couch to couch because it was so high stress I couldn't navigate finding a place, and I lived paycheck to paycheck, and that went on a year and a half and then they fired me. I might have been able to make it if I'd had an apartment, could truly rest each night.
Now, it's all coming together:
The apartment
The job
AT THE SAME TIME
Holy shit I have never been stable in my entire life.
For my mother money was chaos. She worked for herself. It was boom and bust. We'd splurge. We'd scrape. We'd go without when money didn't come in. She saved nothing. Ever. My grandfather died and the family decided to sell his land to a suburb developer. She got $35k. The money was gone in a flash, as was my grandfather's beautiful land.
My model of success in life was "be brilliant, get discovered, rocket to the stars". I saw the world as chutes and ladders: lucky breaks catapulting me into new social strata. I went to a fancy college, took out loans.
After I got out I quit my first full time job. Too boring. Moved into a techie frat house. Started writing code. Worked freelance because I wanted to be free.
My friends and peers got jobs. Took vacations. Had their evenings free. I was a businessman! with no boss! I was free!. But I was always broke. Occasionally I'd get a big contract.
But I didn't follow through. I cut corners. I smoked weed like a chimney, and procrastinated my work. I worked super short days. I'd go to a coffee shop, open the computer, code for an hour, decide "eh I'll get cracking tomorrow" and then I'd leave.
I constantly drank coffee, thinking it would motivate me. I had no idea that anxiety was a bigger problem than any "lack of motivation" I had. So I'd sit there and drink coffee and eat simple carbs and get into a miserable state.
But I was that glitzy, glamorous figure: the dude with the computer making bank in hourly. I kept cranking my rates up.
My zen teacher said to me, repeatedly, "I think a good move for you would be to just get a full time job". I ignored his advice.
Then in 2017 I got my hands on some acid, and microdosed for a while. I suddenly realized: all my financial problems come from the irregularity of my income. The acid blew my mind with a new realization: I'm getting old and this working-for-myself shit isn't working. (Thanks LSD!)
Anyway, it's been a long hard road and I now make almost nothing compared to when I made senior software dev money, yet my finances are healthier.
I could go on and on. Thank you for your encouragement!
Kind of shameful but there is this one porn movie I used to have on a CDR that got lost between apartments. It's stupid cause it's #17 of a 20+ series and you can find #16 and #18 in like 2 minutes, but this one has disappeared from the face of the internet. The studio stopped listing it some time ago then they were bought out and the new owners never listed that one.
Believe it or not I literally sent an email to the male star of the movie, but he never responded. There goes my holy grail. It must have gone out of stock and maybe the masters got lost or something.
I know one rip was made at some point cause I found a filename in a listing, but it is long lost. Farewell lost porn 🙋♂️ farewell...
No shame dude! Maybe write the production company if they’re still around. Feel free to share the name or an embedded link to an info page. Never know if someone can help.
Actually i found a phone number to the new studio so i might just give them a ring and ask about !
It's a French series called "Sacrées Coquines", volume 17 :D i doubt anybody's heard of it
The entire series of Inside the Actors Studio.
Agreed. Between this, a full archive of Austin City Limits, Graham Norton and Later.. with Jools Holland I’m right there with you. Live and intimate long form programs are few and far between.
It's a TV show about virtual reality and has peak 90's aesthetic. They shot the scenes in "virtual reality"on black and white film and colorized them manually afterwards to create a very distinct and vibrant look. That must've been so much hard work.
Sadly, there is only a 240p VHS rip with extremely terrible quality out there. I've always wanted to watch the whole thing, but it's too degraded to enjoy like this.
Your potato version is on Archive. There is one result in the Bay here but size indicates it's likely the same and it says VHSRip. I watched a couple minutes.. holy TV stars of today lol
I do see it on a private tracker but it may be the VHS rip you referred too. I pasted the S01 rip info here in case it might be a quality your looking for: https://pastebin.com/m2cuwEK4
The one I saw was about 1.25GB. Eps average around 100MB.
Thanks for the effort!
Definitely different then. These eps are right around 3GB and total for the season is about 37GB.
You might have a good one! The show certainly has a campy Canadian feel. Hopefully it helps our poster!
Insomniac with Dave Atell. I loved that show on Comedy Central, but it was never put on dvd that I could find. I’ve never found a good torrent of it either.
Damn, I miss that show.
Season 1-4 and all the extra ones on slsk.
Great show. Def his prime. Skanks for the Memories got lots of listens over the years.
And now I must go searching! I only had known of the "insomniacs tour" special on comedy central with Dave attel, Dane cook, and a few other comedians who escape me now but completely forgot about the actual show.
Wish me luck hopefully I will have good news to share!
I posted above but since you likely won't be back until your search is complete I'll reply to you too.
Insomniac is all up on slsk, (and put some respek on Greg Giraldo's name! Lol)
RIP GREG. His albums still get lots of play.
GAH I FUCKING KNEW IIIT! his face was plastered in the center of my mind but i couldnt remeber his name for the life of meeee! RIP 😭
Lol I know the feeling, I'm shit with names. I had to google the spelling myself for the joke haha, I always put an "h" in there. RIP for sure, he was one of the best, gone way too young.
Completely off topic but fuck it shoot your shot.
Where's a reliable place for finding stand up? Or even just stand up discoveryl? I struggle to find several specials from the pre Netflix era or and for new stuff I've only found 800 lb gorilla or I'm ripping from YouTube.
There used to be some opendirectory posts that had some weirdly unsecured files if complete stand ups. You’d have to chip them down for tracks and metadata but it was a fair amount of 80s - 90s albums.
Honestly, I'd try slsk (through the program nicotine+ ideally). There's shit up there that I'm straight up surprised to find quite often, just make sure to put like 1,000 files (can be almost anything, fr) in your share folder before you begin downloading or the bots will get ya, and hope that the only copy isn't from some cocksucker that [Private]s all his files for trades like a true scumbag (also, if you see those people, ban them from your files. However If they just mark [Private] and don't specify trades, they may just add you if you PM them and are sharing stuff yourself, those guys are ok). I also put my downloads folder in my share folder to just automatically re-share everything I get until I need to clear space (unless I choose not to reshare a file and I save it somewhere else of course). You can also set a wishlist in case someone with a file matching your description comes online at a later date if you can't find it right then.
If you're looking for a few specific ones I can check a couple to see if they're up there real quick, no problem.
Wow haven't heard of nicotine+ or slsk before. Is that P2P ala soulseek? I'll definitely have to check it out.
Will probably happen later rather than sooner, ever since RARBG peaced out I've been slowly working on installing the arrs for my server and importing my libraries. And that is already taking a significant amount of my free time lol.
Yeah it's basically limewire but still alive and actually good lol.
Understandable, super easy to set up fwiw, just install nicotine, create your acct, create a share folder with a download folder inside it, tell the program where those are on your pc, and the "hard" part (which you said "server," so you'll be fine) forward a port and tell nicotine what it is in the settings. Bang, done, download away.
Should work fine through a VPN as long as everything is forwarded right ya?
Also appreciate the in depth explanation/help! I'm already like 3000% more active on Lemmy than I ever was in 10 years of reddit lol
A PDF of the short-lived Japanese edition of GURPS 4th Edition (specifically Characters anh Magic). The books are very hard to find, and usually cost $300-500 when sold online. It seems like no scans were ever made.
I’m surprised the price is not unreasonable on that link! Best of luck. Might have to dig into ru trackers if you think safe
A cracked version of Hatch.
It's embroidery software that my GF has wanted to use for her hobby / tiny side hustle but a license costs literally hundreds of dollars.
Plenty of options for embrilliance which seems to be a major competitor, maybe have her give that a try?
Interesting! I'd probably recommend VM route another posted suggested but if they are diligent with authentication and updates that may be difficult.
Old school serial cracking a demo version may be viable here.
A remix version of Dragostea Din Tei, aka the Numa Numa, where the artist faded in part of the song a couple of times in a really interesting manner. I found it on limewire back in the mid 2000s and lost it in a reformat. Haven't found it since.
Dang i would LOVE to hear this
Was it one of the B sides?
DJ Ross RMX or Unu' in the Dub Mix
I just listened to both and it wasn't either of them sadly. This one faded in the "Vrei sa pleci dar nu mă, nu mă iei" on repeat, starting at a volume so low that you question whether or not you actually hear it the first time and it gets louder with each repeat. I feel like it repeats 4 or 5 times before the song continues.
Fun School 6: Futureland. Its a shitty edutainment game from the 90s that I played non-stop for like a year, that I want to get my hands on for nostalgia purposes. As far as I can tell its not available (online or physical media) anywhere. I finally found a copy for sale a few years ago, but it turned out to be a mislabelled copy of fun school 6: fairyland.
I will keep searching, eventually a copy will show up somewhere!
Holy shit... for years archive.org only had fairyland and I'd given up on this one ever appearing. Thanks so so much for spotting this. MY QUEST IS OVER. Time to see just how crap it is :D
Glad you found it! Enjoy
Nice pull!
Cottage Country (2013). Meant to be similar to Tucker and Dale Vs Evil and I just can't find a torrent anywhere!
I see it on a private tracker (720p and 1080p variants) as well as Usenet. If English is fine I can grab it and put it up on Mega for you. I also see German.
A complete collection of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, including the first few years that nobody thought to record. The LLS Archive channel on YouTube is the most comprehensive source available but there's still huge gaps of missing episodes. Rumor has it there's one guy out there who recorded every episode on VHS but is refusing to digitize them.
As awesome as he is I’m surprised if nobody has tried to ask Craig for them lol. I think he’d actually go for it for posterity. No show like his, RIP Grant
I would love to have a complete collection like that!
I would love it too!
Mr meaty, it took me a year or so to find it. Not on rarbg, not on pirate bay, not on iptorrents, not on DVD/streaming.
I finally got it a month back and I'm exstatic.
That’s awesome. Where did you eventually find it?
Torrentleach! I got in during the rarbg shutdown and I was shocked to see it there
Great minds…! Good fortune
Prey tell, where did you get from?
Torrentleach of all places
For years I've been trying to get a rip of the Dragon Ball Z: Rock the Dragon box set usually sells for hundreds of dollars. The thing that makes it special is that its the only release with the voice cast that originally aired in the States. Those voices (Vegeta and Krillin particularly) hold a lot of nostalgia for me
I've been trying to find this for years with no success but when seeing this post I decided to look around again and it seems like luck is finally with me. Some kind soul uploaded all of it along with the Westwood dub (same voice actors doing the later seasons that were dubbed by Funimation here in the states) to archive.org
I found two instances that may be what you’re looking for on archive.org. Hopefully that’s what you’re looking fo, one under Rock the Dragon dragon ball z and one under Ocean Productions/ Saban Dub.
I've been collecting for years, trying to get the full run of "Disney Adventures" magazine. I have a solid amount of physical magazines that i've been scanning, but would love to find a collection of the full run scanned and ready to download :)
are you a member of myanonamouse private tracker? I'll look it up tomorrow when I wake up.
I am not, in fact I wasn't aware of it until this. I see that i'll have to wait until Saturday get in there myself. Thanks for the tip/lead!
And if you do find it on there, i'd appreciate the info. Thanks again!
There’s a number on Annas-archive.org
I used to get these as a kid! Flashback.
Second to check myanonamouse they are doing open applications for invite.
A dragon ball z game. I used to play it years ago. All I remember now is that you play as goku, is like 16bit games, can go into supersayan mode and mostly fight in the air.
There are a few DBZ fighting games for snes that play like that.
What system? The old games were so fun for what they were
I played it in my windows xp pc. Recently, I did some searching and it may have been an emulation of some other system.
Yep, HBO max rips. Tho actually, I am missing 4 eps of S2. I'll have to scout out those. I have old censored DVD rips of those I'm missing, but thanks for making me look and remember this.
I recently had the pleasure to slay it actually. It was the kinda like Twilight Zone but Horror 'Night Gallery' from 1996. It did exist, but the torrent that was circulating was messed up beyond belief. Episodes cut off at 20 minutes etc. Some dude on a private tracker ripped the whole thing anew for me.
Thanks for sharing! Glad someone could connect and help you find it
DesignaKnit, such a niche software… and SO expensive when wanting to use it for hobby knitting
Might have to old school and serial crack a demo… or so I’ve read about in the archives
Thought did cross my mind but I don’t have a keygen/cracked executable. How would one go about doing that?
You may have to scour less reputable ad infested cracking and serial warez sites. They do exist but it’s been some time since those days. May be what you need for obscure niche software but it isn’t without risks.
I actually went and bought my white whale and ripped it myself eventually. It's a silly movie called DEBS but every version I could find had an error in the final scene. So I ripped it from DVD, if only now I could figure out how to self host it.
On a related note, the first white whale I ever had is how I got into piracy, it was a kids show called ik mik loreland that we got to see in school as to learn spelling. They never showed us the entire series, and I had been obsessed with it for years untill on the news they talked about birate-pay. Eventually found a tracker on tickass-korrents. It took me 6 months to complete from what I assume was one seeder who didn't use a PC ever. Recently register it myself and am proud to say it now has 4 dedicated seeders.
Wow haven’t heard that name in a while. Chock full of 2000s B-actresses. Glad you could find it!
Campy movies are sooo good.
And what a story of the other series. Congrats and great to pay it forward.
A long time ago I had this album (Napster era), I think it was called "Incubus vs Incubus" where someone had remixed all the songs from Make Yourself with half studio songs and half live and it was great. I lost it years ago and I've not seen it since.
Interesting! What’s your favorite from Incubus
Seven Days. It has one of the coolest premises, and the lead is like a combination of James Bond and McGuyver.
I never found it on any tracker, but I literally looked it up before writing this and learned it has a DVD release in 2018, so that is exciting.
The TV series from around 2000? Kind of a generic name (tons results with variations on the name), so trying to clarify what you're looking for! Interesting premise, similar to Quantum Leap or Sliders if it is.
Big fan of Modern Marvels and really miss How It’s Made. Original ASMR for sure
I have all of the how it's made. Just not modern marvels. Only have a season or two out of 20+
I’d be interested for How It’s Made. I see a few episodes from later seasons in public trackers but the sheer amount of shows, a private tracker is more likely to have it
How could I share this with you? I think it's about 200gb or something
Probably creating a Mega is the best way, unless you have a unlimited G-drive or a torrent to seed.
There used to be this one swiss cooking show for kids called „Cocolino“ with a blue cat that had a fried egg as an eyepatch. Been trying to find it online every once in a while, never with any success.
That sounds awesome! Is there a large repository for Swiss media?
I don’t think so (at least I haven’t found any). Even though Switzerland is pretty much a safe haven, there probably just aren‘t enough pirates there for some sort of community to start existing. Or it’s just way too obscure.
Now there are two of us.
Hopefully plans work out I’ll visit soon!
Dead Poetic band merch. A little-known post hardcore band from the early 2000's. I've got all of their CDs and some limited press Vinyls, but I would kill for some legit shirts. Years ago I found a sketchy site that claimed to have a handful left, but they were all too small. I wish now I still had bought them anyways, but oh well.
A GameBoy game I played as a kid that was some kind of JRPG. It wasn't a well known one like Chrono, Mother, Final Fantasy Tactics, etc. I have searched through lists online and tried finding screenshots and videos of gameplay, been through several hours of vids, but nothing I've found has been it.
A stupid video from the earlier days of YouTube called "The Poop." There is a "The Poop 2" but it's not the same. My friend and I found it randomly on some late night YouTube binge and cried laughing. It became an inside joke between us for years and we would link the video to each other or sing the music from it for instant laughter. It either got privated or deleted. I've spent hours and hours combing through the depths of YT and the internet at large trying to find a copy/reupload, same for my friend, but we've never found it.
<Edit> Number 2 is SOLVED!!! Holy crap, I literally just randomly found it. Talking about it here inspired me to try some more Google-fu and I happened across an ebay listing for Quest: Brian's Journey and the cartridge artwork immediately jogged my memory. Looks like I mis-remembered some details, that makes me even happier that I found it!
Going to be totally NOT downloading a ROM to play on my Steam Deck this evening...I would never...
I remember being gifted this weird JRPG for the Gameboy that was not even localized, and being a stubborn kid I randomly went through its japanese menus trying to see what each thing did, but gave up in the end. Years later I had a flashback and went to YouTube, only to find it was actually an incredibly mediocre Gundam RPG called Lacroan Heroes. It's a long shot, but that's the most obscure JRPG I know of for the Gameboy, maybe that's it?
What a pull! Hopefully this is it or offers some additional insight! Nice work.
Read my edit, I found it!!! :D
I don’t expect to be able to answer your question, but can you provide any remembered details on the GameBoy JRPG? I’ll even take half-remembered ones. I love a good mystery!
Check my reply a few messages down, those are all the details I can remember about it. I am also pretty sure it was a Gameboy Color game, not advance or OG GameBoy, but I'm not 100% certain.
Ah, I see that now. Should have thought to scroll farther. You’re right, that’s a tough one!
Read my edit, I found it!!! :D
Holy shit this community rules. I’m so happy for you! May it live up to all your memories.
Long shot but have you tried to track down the band members? They might have some, or their record company if it’s still around
Interesting… maybe provide any details you do recall about characters or map environments! A few people have been helped so maybe we can figure this out!
Interestingly, my spouse found out that the lead vocalist now works as a graphic artist and has done work for some huge groups like Twenty One Pilots and Underoath. I found his webpage and have thought about sending him a message, but I haven't ever done it, nervous I guess lol. Your prompt might give me the needed "oomph" to actually go through with it tho lol.
It's tough because I barely remember anything specific from it. To make it worse, the game had a saved profile when I got it, (it was second hand.) I only ever played that save file which was already at endgame content, so I don't even remember what the intro/early game was like. Here's all I can remember:
The color pallet was pretty bland. It had lots of random encounters and when they happened, there was a quick sequence where the edges of the screen spiraled inwards in a kind of striped, spiral pattern. There were lots of odd creatures, like these kind of rock worms/snakes if I remember correctly? You had a party of 3-4 people and lots of different spells/abilities. I remember I got lost for a long time wandering through some ice caves and kept having to fight random monsters every 10-20 seconds. I can't really remember the story or lore even. But I'm pretty confident I'd know the music/sounds if I heard them.
Send that email! Worst that can happen is a no or no response! I've gotten a few authors to sign books through the mail by emailing them, it's always a possibility!
Also, was the text in English, or was it in Japanese?
Not that one I don't think. The text was all in English.
Read my edit, I found it!!! :D
Heck yeah! Congrats. Enjoy your nostalgia bomb.
Edit: After a really long time I finally stopped being lazy and figured out how to upload the book to ABB myself.
I actually managed to find mine a while ago.
I pirate a lot of hard sci-fi/cyberpunk audiobooks using stuff like Mobilism or AudiobookBay and using Sirin Audiobook Player to listen to them, one of the first series I added to my library was the Takeshi Kovacs trilogy by Richard K. Morgan.
See everything was fine with the first two books (Altered Carbon and Broken Angels) which were readily avaliable on both those sites, but it was the final book Woken Furies that I was really after, reason being there were two versions: One was everywhere I looked and is narrated by William Dufris and the other that I was actually looking for is by Todd McLaren.
Basically people really hated how the first version by William sounded (there was an unnecessary reverb effect in some parts and he pronounces the main character's name wrong throughout the whole book) to a point they started a petition to get Todd McLaren (who did the first two books) to redo the final one. McLaren actually says the guy's name right in all the books and generally is a better narrator, also the weird reverb effects were gone.
It took months of searching but I eventually found it through Mobilism (second result in the image), using a burner e mail I got a free trail of their premium service to directly download the file. Now I can rest easy knowing I have all three books read by the same person.
Please redistribute them in case someone like you wants them!
I have it backed up in a Google drive so I can send the link or dm it to people if sending direct links isn't allowed
Edit: I'm unsure how to upload to AudiobookBay but I know people there would really appreciate it
Sadly I don't know either.
Skimmed through and at first glance I thought it was called "woke furries"
I've heard that a lot lmao
Awesome story and thanks for sharing! For sure a link it a DM I can host also if it’s helpful
An Evangelion AMV to I’m Not Okay by My Chemical Romance. I even remember the user but I haven’t been able to find since it got wiped off YouTube over 10 years ago.
This post hurts me, I remember so many incredible AMVs from back in the day, lost forever by time and the original creators. Definitely saving all those whenever time travel gets around.
I checked and this seemed to do well critically in India. It may have found difficulty finding distribution. You may be able to message the production company or director directly and ask for a copy, or at the very least a screener. I have found success with this in the past.
A full Nick GAS collection. I have a good amount of show and all the bumpers, but there's a shows missing a few episodes.
I've been looking for the 3rd season of the Andy Milonakis Show for forever, I know it is probably hot garbage...but I love hot garbage. I also used to troll the internet for old CKY movies...but I found most of them, even the coveted "Cattlebag" movie by Brandon Dicamillo...it is all so horrible though...but meh...when one lives in a trash world, one gets a taste for the finest trash...
Iptorrents has all 3 seasons in a bundle. 5 gigs 47 episodes. It is private though so would need an invite to get to it or if you are super interested I could download it and find a way to send it to you.
Certainly a product of their time! I remember he was so popular, around the time of Waiting. Really interesting listening to the Jackass guys talk about that era and all they’ve gone through since.
Yeah, I love hearing the Jackass crew talk, a lot of them really grew up and became really insightful. Steve-O is a prime example, it does my heart good to see him doing well and living clean.
Complete Baguazhang Nine Dragon System, by John Painter
It's out of print and good copies are about $130+
I saw 2 volumes on Amazon.
Forms and principles around $50
And Warrior Trainings and Applications $24.95
Didn’t find anything in Anna’s archive
You might try myanonamouse.net. It’s private so you’ll have to apply for an invite on IRC. Open to applications currently according to the site.
My white whale is the as-of-yet unreleased Quest 64 2. For obvious reasons.
The Luck Luke animated films, released in the states on Disney homevideo with English dubbing in the 80s. I've had one sitting on 90% for well over a year.
Does your username have anything to do with healthcare and a certain EMR?
Maybe I'm a public tracker pleb, but I've not found a way to watch James Holtzhauer's run on Jeopardy!
They were available a while ago. You might be able to find based on dates or on daily motion. I know there are some hardcore jeopardy uploaders of recent
Just wanted to say thanks for doing this!! Seems like a lot of white whales were conquered in this thread. The link you posted was actually active and I was able to get it!
Glad you could get it! You’re welcome. Enjoy!
It’s amazing I saw James wreck other trivia shows with his aggressive strategy before Jeopardy. Amazing how the timing of his arrival and no more 5 game max coincided. Definitely changed the game.
I’ve tried to find the complete The Chase (US and UK). If you come across it let me know.
The great mouse detective ( Norwegian audio). The best laugh from a villain ever.
Are you looking for hard coded dub? May be able to find an international dvdrip with separate multi audio. Other comments in this post says D+ may offer it.
4 Nights in October
2004 Red Sox vs Yankees Games 4,5,6,7
Usenet might be the bet here
DVD quality episodes of the entire series of Mystic Knights of Tyr Na Nog. Only the first few episodes received such a release.
Entire series is on Archive but yes the quality is VHS.
There is someone who tried to remaster and put it on Torrentgalaxy. It’s 29GB.
Hope this helps!
I remember watching that show when i came home early from school!
I'll have to look into that again
Digimon World 2003. I never owned a PlayStation (was a Nintendo-only fanboy for years until I bought a PS2 in the mid-00s a year before the Xbox 360 was announced) and tried to run an emulator of it for over a decade before it was fully supported. I also had trouble because I found out the only English version that didn't have that stupid "once you start fighting the final boss, you can't explore the game world anymore" thing they used to do in JRPGs was the European version. Now I can actually play it, even using gameshark codes, easily... if I could only find the time to play it!
That’s so awesome you could still find it. Priorities!
local dub (Filipino/tagalog) of an old anime called Mr. Ajikko.
I'm not sure if this exists but English Dub of Nodame Cantabile (I only have 1 of 3 seasons).
Nodame Cantabile wasn't ever fully English dubbed, anidb.net is a good resource to see if it ever was though, same with Mr. Ajikko
I spotted copy in the Bay and it has a full English, Japanese, and Korean audio tracks with English and Indonesian Subs
Of what part specifically? I have a color pdf's of the PHB, Volo's, Tasha's, Sword coast, Zanathar's. I thought i had the dmg but I can't find it at the moment.
Copies of the Battlestar Galactica board game expansions. I have Pegasus from when it was in print, but the rest are ludicrously expensive ($500+ usd EACH)
If you're into Tabletop Simulator they have the whole thing there. Check the comments for other versions with built in scripting and such.
Do you have a link? Not familiar with this! Hopefully someone can help with additional info
It was a very popular game when it came out, but it is and will forever be in licensing hell and will never be reprinted.
I'd honestly probably be better off ripping the files from Tabletop Simulator and making them myself at this point.
Have a copy and was going to pick up another so I could play it without expansions... and then I saw the prices. Ffs.
Great great game though.
Truely is. I wish it had a second edition to smooth out the rougher parts. Unfortunately all we got was that crappy Cthulhu clone.
If you just want the gameplay, Unfathomable from FFG is essentially a clone of BSG in an Lovecraftian setting. Not really what you are looking for, I suspect, but it's probably the closest we'll get to a reprint.
I got really into Max Headroom after learning about that old hack in Chicago. I've seen the second series of the show, but have been unable to find the original show outside of short clips in documentary stuff about it.
There’s a result on 1337 and a larger one in the Bay of irates-Pay. Hope this helps and they are active!
Keep us posted.
I am quite curious, is there any reason to censor where to go?
Whatever Happened to Harold Smith? Had to buy it in the end 😓
Glad you could still find it! I’ve been looking for hardly available broadcast media. Popular enough shows but before digital archiving :(
A BBC art history documentary series called "Private Life of a Masterpiece". I have about half in a mixed bag.
Also the 5th season (I think) of an old Food Network show called "The Thirsty Traveler".
Thirsty Traveller was such a good show, thanks for the reminder friend!
The Life of a Masterpiece has a result in PBay and on 1337x. Didn’t test if the seeders are still good.
Food network is always huge hit or miss on public trackers.
The 2001 TNBC show "Sk8". One episode was finally uploaded to YouTube a couple years back. Beyond that, all that apparently exists are some clips and commercials.
You made me flashback to old Thrasher and long form Skate videos… hell yeah. Best of luck
Any Apple+ fitness video
Lately, this documentary called OJ Simpson: Blood, Lies, and Murder. Despite being aired for the first time as recently as February of this year, it is now completely lost media. I’ve checked all of the streaming sites from the megathread as well as a few of the torrent sites, found nothing. Even skimmed a few really shady sites and came up empty.
Quick look on a previously frequented website for all things…. Someone posted this may be airing on Philo on the 17th of this month… perhaps you can rip one, Godspeed with that!
Looks like someone really doesn’t want it in the aether!
Yeah I saw this, in fact I may have been the person who made the post you saw lol, I first found the documentary on the lost media subreddit and that was all I could find along with some more info about the film itself and who made it. I hope they actually air it but I have a feeling that it’s a fluke.
A full recording of "Live Aid" Form 85
Idk if I have the full thing or not, but my dad taped (audio cassette, no video) at least some of it, and I can digitize those four tapes if you're interested.
Edit: After finding the tapes and talking to my dad, seems he taped all this off the radio. Sounds fucking great tbh lol. I unfortunately do not have all of it though, it goes straight from summer of '69 into some U2 and seems to jump around from there, so it can't be.
Closed Door Village, Chinese film from 2014. I have it with hardcoded mandarin subs, but it's never been translated as far as I can tell.
I found a result under PBay. It’s under closed doors village, so a slight variation. But that does have a seeder. Not verified, however. Hope this works for you
Hypernauts (1996). It's an old TV series that was cancelled part way through airing. I found a complete season on a TV archive project website, but it's 480p and has baked in Japanese subs that obscure a lot of the screen. The show itself isn't great, it's just something I'd like to collect.
Pilot on the BBC. It's a sitcom about Hitler and Eva moving into an English neighborhood next-door to a nice Jewish couple. I had a copy from BTN but can't find it anywhere now.
Super-fucked pilot from DEN. A studio that was attempting a streaming business in the 90s or 00s, and abusing minors.
It stars fucking Stiffler. It's about a teen who's friend kills himself over the pressure/reaction of coming out to his parents. The teen is rescued by his brother and whisked any to LA.
It's an insane groomer story that matches the scandals at DEN. I have a 240p copy, but I SWEAR I had a better one before.
Holy cow the history of this is hilarious. Yeah seems only the creator might have them but it’s largely unsubstantiated.
What a story about Heil. makes me think of Peep Show
The full dicography of Soichi Terada is my whale. A bonus would be all the other Far East Recording artists too, but Terada is the big deal for me.
Terada is a Japanese house music artist who was most active in the 90s, but anyone outside of Japan might know him better as the soundtrack artist for Ape Escape for the PS1.
What makes it particularly hard is that a good chunk of his work was vinyl only. I've got his more recent stuff that got CD releases.
He has a some stuff in Deezer.
There’s an album and some remixes on 1337
Found some results on 1337.
A 1080p version of W1A series 2
I remember this show! All I could find was 720p but easily enough available on popular public trackers. Hope someone else can find a better option
I checked in the Bay and there was one with 5 seeds and a couple more with >1 seed (active or age not verified). Might be worth a trip out to sea! Keep us posted.
Caught a handful of episodes when I was a kid. It's available on Amazon, but I'd like a local copy. With as many TV shows have the word Monsters in it, it's hard enough to even search for.
Edit: ROFL and as I post this I decided to google it, and archive.org has all 3 seasons archived.
Both seem impossible to find. I've been looking for three years.
Among others, Gulliver's Travels from 1996 with Ted Danson SPA-LAT.
Not even legal.
What makes it Not Legal?
The original tv broadcast version of only fools and horses s06e01 (yuppy love).
The dvd version available everywhere has a scene cut out where Rodney asks Casandra to dance and it’s so weird without it. I think it was due to copyright on the music playing in the scene
That’s unfortunate! I’ve heard of a similar case with other properties. I’ve heard some time ago that students have access to some version of the entire BBC library but I don’t know the extent of access or quality. There’s many UK shows I’d like to collect but they prove difficult to find still
This is actually available on the internet, here's the note for that episode:
S06
01 - Yuppy Love (Music cuts restored) (TV/DVD/VHS)
There are actually a lot of episodes throughout with music-related cuts judging from the list I'm looking at.
Oh wow, I’ve actually found it with one seeder. Fingers crossed. Never could when I tried in the past. Thank you!
The full English broadcasting for the 2019-2020 Liverpool FC season complete with pre-game, halftime, and post-game shows.
Would also take the 2018-2019 season.
Should have downloaded them back then because all the links on sites like rojadirecta are dead now
Hm I’m not too familiar with broadcast sports. I’m sure someone has a better idea but I’m sure private trackers would be the way
Box copies of Stargate Atlantis and Universe on Bluray. No matter the country, as long as it has English dub
Those are very popular.
Any public trackers such as 1337x have it. BluRay rips.
I've only found very dodgy quality rips. It's been a constant struggle and my wife and I are huge Stargate fans. I currently have a lot of mix and match files that I've selected as the best quality ones from many, many different season packs, and I still wouldn't call my collection anywhere near good.
Hope the ones on 1337x can work for you. Healthy number or seeders so that may vouch for quality or else it would be dead
Isn't there not yet a consistent crack for Denuvo? Having such would be very, very nice.
Heck, there's at least one Denuvo game that got cracked, and then despite being cracked stopped working after a while, necessitating an updated crack. (It's Shining Resonance Refrain, for anyone curious.)
The last episode of the tv series "Louie" dubbed in my native language, was aired only on TV from 2010 to 2015 and there is no DVD/streaming release in my country. After 3 years I've found only dead link/torrent, it just disappeared "...like tears in rain".
It's a reference to Moby Dick. It's something you really want, but seems unattainable.
Subjective, but a specific item of interest or missing part of a collection that has proven difficult to acquire.
Books no longer in circulation or of a particular niche/rarity, episodes of an show, a version of a song or media that was once available in limited form and removed from the source, bootleg recordings.
Hope this gives useful context.
Welcome.
Anything you can use some help to find?
Moby Dick reference. The White Whale is the one you spend your whole life searching for
One game I do not even know the title of. My brother used to play it when I was 6 years old. I remember the game being monochrome, not sure about the crt itself. But it was a kind of XCOM if I’d have to describe it, about some crew that lands on an underwater planet. It’s still my white whale coz I still have not found even the name . I tried chatgpting suggestions recently to no avail.
Are you sure it's not XCOM terror of the deep?
Our monitor at the time must have been monochrome then, damn!! The ship with the units inside def makes me think this is the one. Playing it soon!! Thanks so much!
Very welcome! You saying it was XCOMesque that i was like "it's gotta be that!" Glad to be of some help!
Nice work!
Thank you!
Was hoping we could help some people! Maybe I’ll do a monthly since the community is still small here on Lemmy
Beautiful idea! I'd be down!
Please @cuchilloc, let us know if this is it!
I think it is !
I love a happy ending 🥲
Second this as that’s literally the premise
This of a perfect Tip of My… type of question. Maybe we start an instance here! Pride of XCOM 2 I’m not too familiar with other franchises. What year?
Looks like we’ve cracked it. Terrors of the deep ftw!
It's not a white whale, it's a Holy Grail. The white whale is something that occupies your every waking moment and you wish to eliminate so you can get on with your life.
It could a white whale for some, but good distinction
Hi-Res scans of paintings and photographs. Like starry night from van gogh:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ea/Van_Gogh_-_Starry_Night_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg
Would love a library of photos from Feininger or Salgado, paintings etc.
I would love a private tracker for art digitalizations.
Many museums are now offering hi res versions of many of their collections. Hopefully the collections or pieces you’re after are in the works

This is a neat idea I hadn't thought of.
Having an apartment, and a job at the same time.
I’m 40. I’ve almost achieved it.
Hell yeah! You got this
Put in the apartment application tonight. My credit’s better than it’s ever been, I have more cash on hand than I’ve ever had before, I even have money to pay movers this time. I don’t want to jinx it so I’m gonna expect obstacles still, but it’s looking good.
AND I got approved. Holy shit I'm so excited.
You have no idea how dead one's dating life becomes when they are 40 and have no place of their own. But mostly I'm looking forward to whatever untold levels of mental health await me when I get alone time every day, and don't have to worry about the rent.
I've had apartments before ... and I was always late on the rent.
I had a really high-paying job once ... but I was moving from couch to couch because it was so high stress I couldn't navigate finding a place, and I lived paycheck to paycheck, and that went on a year and a half and then they fired me. I might have been able to make it if I'd had an apartment, could truly rest each night.
Now, it's all coming together:
The apartment
The job
AT THE SAME TIME
Holy shit I have never been stable in my entire life.
For my mother money was chaos. She worked for herself. It was boom and bust. We'd splurge. We'd scrape. We'd go without when money didn't come in. She saved nothing. Ever. My grandfather died and the family decided to sell his land to a suburb developer. She got $35k. The money was gone in a flash, as was my grandfather's beautiful land.
My model of success in life was "be brilliant, get discovered, rocket to the stars". I saw the world as chutes and ladders: lucky breaks catapulting me into new social strata. I went to a fancy college, took out loans.
After I got out I quit my first full time job. Too boring. Moved into a techie frat house. Started writing code. Worked freelance because I wanted to be free.
My friends and peers got jobs. Took vacations. Had their evenings free. I was a businessman! with no boss! I was free!. But I was always broke. Occasionally I'd get a big contract.
But I didn't follow through. I cut corners. I smoked weed like a chimney, and procrastinated my work. I worked super short days. I'd go to a coffee shop, open the computer, code for an hour, decide "eh I'll get cracking tomorrow" and then I'd leave.
I constantly drank coffee, thinking it would motivate me. I had no idea that anxiety was a bigger problem than any "lack of motivation" I had. So I'd sit there and drink coffee and eat simple carbs and get into a miserable state.
But I was that glitzy, glamorous figure: the dude with the computer making bank in hourly. I kept cranking my rates up.
My zen teacher said to me, repeatedly, "I think a good move for you would be to just get a full time job". I ignored his advice.
Then in 2017 I got my hands on some acid, and microdosed for a while. I suddenly realized: all my financial problems come from the irregularity of my income. The acid blew my mind with a new realization: I'm getting old and this working-for-myself shit isn't working. (Thanks LSD!)
Anyway, it's been a long hard road and I now make almost nothing compared to when I made senior software dev money, yet my finances are healthier.
I could go on and on. Thank you for your encouragement!
Kind of shameful but there is this one porn movie I used to have on a CDR that got lost between apartments. It's stupid cause it's #17 of a 20+ series and you can find #16 and #18 in like 2 minutes, but this one has disappeared from the face of the internet. The studio stopped listing it some time ago then they were bought out and the new owners never listed that one. Believe it or not I literally sent an email to the male star of the movie, but he never responded. There goes my holy grail. It must have gone out of stock and maybe the masters got lost or something. I know one rip was made at some point cause I found a filename in a listing, but it is long lost. Farewell lost porn 🙋♂️ farewell...
No shame dude! Maybe write the production company if they’re still around. Feel free to share the name or an embedded link to an info page. Never know if someone can help.
Actually i found a phone number to the new studio so i might just give them a ring and ask about !
It's a French series called "Sacrées Coquines", volume 17 :D i doubt anybody's heard of it
The entire series of Inside the Actors Studio.
Agreed. Between this, a full archive of Austin City Limits, Graham Norton and Later.. with Jools Holland I’m right there with you. Live and intimate long form programs are few and far between.
I would love this too
A good quality version of the "VR.5" tv series from 1995. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VR.5
It's a TV show about virtual reality and has peak 90's aesthetic. They shot the scenes in "virtual reality"on black and white film and colorized them manually afterwards to create a very distinct and vibrant look. That must've been so much hard work.
Sadly, there is only a 240p VHS rip with extremely terrible quality out there. I've always wanted to watch the whole thing, but it's too degraded to enjoy like this.
Your potato version is on Archive. There is one result in the Bay here but size indicates it's likely the same and it says VHSRip. I watched a couple minutes.. holy TV stars of today lol
I do see it on a private tracker but it may be the VHS rip you referred too. I pasted the S01 rip info here in case it might be a quality your looking for: https://pastebin.com/m2cuwEK4
The one I saw was about 1.25GB. Eps average around 100MB. Thanks for the effort!
Definitely different then. These eps are right around 3GB and total for the season is about 37GB.
You might have a good one! The show certainly has a campy Canadian feel. Hopefully it helps our poster!
Insomniac with Dave Atell. I loved that show on Comedy Central, but it was never put on dvd that I could find. I’ve never found a good torrent of it either.
Damn, I miss that show.
Season 1-4 and all the extra ones on slsk.
Great show. Def his prime. Skanks for the Memories got lots of listens over the years.
And now I must go searching! I only had known of the "insomniacs tour" special on comedy central with Dave attel, Dane cook, and a few other comedians who escape me now but completely forgot about the actual show.
Wish me luck hopefully I will have good news to share!
I posted above but since you likely won't be back until your search is complete I'll reply to you too.
Insomniac is all up on slsk, (and put some respek on Greg Giraldo's name! Lol)
RIP GREG. His albums still get lots of play.
GAH I FUCKING KNEW IIIT! his face was plastered in the center of my mind but i couldnt remeber his name for the life of meeee! RIP 😭
Lol I know the feeling, I'm shit with names. I had to google the spelling myself for the joke haha, I always put an "h" in there. RIP for sure, he was one of the best, gone way too young.
Completely off topic but fuck it shoot your shot.
Where's a reliable place for finding stand up? Or even just stand up discoveryl? I struggle to find several specials from the pre Netflix era or and for new stuff I've only found 800 lb gorilla or I'm ripping from YouTube.
There used to be some opendirectory posts that had some weirdly unsecured files if complete stand ups. You’d have to chip them down for tracks and metadata but it was a fair amount of 80s - 90s albums.
Honestly, I'd try slsk (through the program
nicotine+ideally). There's shit up there that I'm straight up surprised to find quite often, just make sure to put like 1,000 files (can be almost anything, fr) in your share folder before you begin downloading or the bots will get ya, and hope that the only copy isn't from some cocksucker that [Private]s all his files for trades like a true scumbag (also, if you see those people, ban them from your files. However If they just mark [Private] and don't specify trades, they may just add you if you PM them and are sharing stuff yourself, those guys are ok). I also put my downloads folder in my share folder to just automatically re-share everything I get until I need to clear space (unless I choose not to reshare a file and I save it somewhere else of course). You can also set a wishlist in case someone with a file matching your description comes online at a later date if you can't find it right then.If you're looking for a few specific ones I can check a couple to see if they're up there real quick, no problem.
Wow haven't heard of nicotine+ or slsk before. Is that P2P ala soulseek? I'll definitely have to check it out.
Will probably happen later rather than sooner, ever since RARBG peaced out I've been slowly working on installing the arrs for my server and importing my libraries. And that is already taking a significant amount of my free time lol.
Yeah it's basically limewire but still alive and actually good lol.
Understandable, super easy to set up fwiw, just install nicotine, create your acct, create a share folder with a download folder inside it, tell the program where those are on your pc, and the "hard" part (which you said "server," so you'll be fine) forward a port and tell nicotine what it is in the settings. Bang, done, download away.
Should work fine through a VPN as long as everything is forwarded right ya?
Also appreciate the in depth explanation/help! I'm already like 3000% more active on Lemmy than I ever was in 10 years of reddit lol
A rip of this specific limited edition CD, that contains a few bonus tracks that can't be found anywhere else in CD quality.
A PDF of the short-lived Japanese edition of GURPS 4th Edition (specifically Characters anh Magic). The books are very hard to find, and usually cost $300-500 when sold online. It seems like no scans were ever made.
I’m surprised the price is not unreasonable on that link! Best of luck. Might have to dig into ru trackers if you think safe
A cracked version of Hatch. It's embroidery software that my GF has wanted to use for her hobby / tiny side hustle but a license costs literally hundreds of dollars.
Plenty of options for embrilliance which seems to be a major competitor, maybe have her give that a try?
Interesting! I'd probably recommend VM route another posted suggested but if they are diligent with authentication and updates that may be difficult. Old school serial cracking a demo version may be viable here.
Why not just VM?
The first 3 seasons of Timon and Pumbaa in Finnish. I've been hunting for years and I only have one episode here and another there.
It appears the Finnish version is still available on Disney+, according to the dubbing database: https://dubdb.fandom.com/wiki/Timon_%26_Pumbaa
Great find!
A remix version of Dragostea Din Tei, aka the Numa Numa, where the artist faded in part of the song a couple of times in a really interesting manner. I found it on limewire back in the mid 2000s and lost it in a reformat. Haven't found it since.
Dang i would LOVE to hear this
Was it one of the B sides? DJ Ross RMX or Unu' in the Dub Mix
I just listened to both and it wasn't either of them sadly. This one faded in the "Vrei sa pleci dar nu mă, nu mă iei" on repeat, starting at a volume so low that you question whether or not you actually hear it the first time and it gets louder with each repeat. I feel like it repeats 4 or 5 times before the song continues.
Fun School 6: Futureland. Its a shitty edutainment game from the 90s that I played non-stop for like a year, that I want to get my hands on for nostalgia purposes. As far as I can tell its not available (online or physical media) anywhere. I finally found a copy for sale a few years ago, but it turned out to be a mislabelled copy of fun school 6: fairyland.
I will keep searching, eventually a copy will show up somewhere!
Here you go: https://archive.org/details/fun-school-futureland
Holy shit... for years archive.org only had fairyland and I'd given up on this one ever appearing. Thanks so so much for spotting this. MY QUEST IS OVER. Time to see just how crap it is :D
Glad you found it! Enjoy
Nice pull!
Cottage Country (2013). Meant to be similar to Tucker and Dale Vs Evil and I just can't find a torrent anywhere!
I see it on a private tracker (720p and 1080p variants) as well as Usenet. If English is fine I can grab it and put it up on Mega for you. I also see German.
That'd be brilliant, thanks!
I’d appreciate a DM also if you don’t want to share in the post! Awesome find
Sorry for the multiple DMs. My client stalled and didn't show my initial message.
Received! Cheers
Thanks looks good downloading it now.
Checked the IMDb… Lucy Punch is an automatic watch for me!
Link
Cursory search. Old seeders but it returned something. Good luck hopefully one is still up.
A complete collection of The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, including the first few years that nobody thought to record. The LLS Archive channel on YouTube is the most comprehensive source available but there's still huge gaps of missing episodes. Rumor has it there's one guy out there who recorded every episode on VHS but is refusing to digitize them.
As awesome as he is I’m surprised if nobody has tried to ask Craig for them lol. I think he’d actually go for it for posterity. No show like his, RIP Grant
I would love to have a complete collection like that!
I would love it too!
Mr meaty, it took me a year or so to find it. Not on rarbg, not on pirate bay, not on iptorrents, not on DVD/streaming. I finally got it a month back and I'm exstatic.
That’s awesome. Where did you eventually find it?
Torrentleach! I got in during the rarbg shutdown and I was shocked to see it there
Great minds…! Good fortune
Prey tell, where did you get from?
Torrentleach of all places
For years I've been trying to get a rip of the Dragon Ball Z: Rock the Dragon box set usually sells for hundreds of dollars. The thing that makes it special is that its the only release with the voice cast that originally aired in the States. Those voices (Vegeta and Krillin particularly) hold a lot of nostalgia for me
I've been trying to find this for years with no success but when seeing this post I decided to look around again and it seems like luck is finally with me. Some kind soul uploaded all of it along with the Westwood dub (same voice actors doing the later seasons that were dubbed by Funimation here in the states) to archive.org
I found two instances that may be what you’re looking for on archive.org. Hopefully that’s what you’re looking fo, one under Rock the Dragon dragon ball z and one under Ocean Productions/ Saban Dub.
I've been collecting for years, trying to get the full run of "Disney Adventures" magazine. I have a solid amount of physical magazines that i've been scanning, but would love to find a collection of the full run scanned and ready to download :)
are you a member of myanonamouse private tracker? I'll look it up tomorrow when I wake up.
I am not, in fact I wasn't aware of it until this. I see that i'll have to wait until Saturday get in there myself. Thanks for the tip/lead!
And if you do find it on there, i'd appreciate the info. Thanks again!
There’s a number on Annas-archive.org
I used to get these as a kid! Flashback.
Second to check myanonamouse they are doing open applications for invite.
A dragon ball z game. I used to play it years ago. All I remember now is that you play as goku, is like 16bit games, can go into supersayan mode and mostly fight in the air.
There are a few DBZ fighting games for snes that play like that.
What system? The old games were so fun for what they were
I played it in my windows xp pc. Recently, I did some searching and it may have been an emulation of some other system.
Uncensored Metalocalypse with perfect subtitles.
Yeah, I have the series uncensored, but no subs.
The entire series?
I can't find S1&2 without guitar riffs.
And some episodes in season 2 are "half censored" (you can still hear the guitar riff). Those episodes also don't have vocals during the music.
I always thought it’s riffs by design, not a censored version. Would be interesting if there is an uncensored S1&2
The riffs are by design, but season 3 and 4 have a censored TV version and uncensored bluray version.
Hopefully the upcoming complete set fixes this.
https://www.awn.com/news/metalocalypse-complete-series-comes-digital-and-dvd-august-22
Yep, HBO max rips. Tho actually, I am missing 4 eps of S2. I'll have to scout out those. I have old censored DVD rips of those I'm missing, but thanks for making me look and remember this.
I recently had the pleasure to slay it actually. It was the kinda like Twilight Zone but Horror 'Night Gallery' from 1996. It did exist, but the torrent that was circulating was messed up beyond belief. Episodes cut off at 20 minutes etc. Some dude on a private tracker ripped the whole thing anew for me.
Thanks for sharing! Glad someone could connect and help you find it
DesignaKnit, such a niche software… and SO expensive when wanting to use it for hobby knitting
Might have to old school and serial crack a demo… or so I’ve read about in the archives
Thought did cross my mind but I don’t have a keygen/cracked executable. How would one go about doing that?
You may have to scour less reputable ad infested cracking and serial warez sites. They do exist but it’s been some time since those days. May be what you need for obscure niche software but it isn’t without risks.
I actually went and bought my white whale and ripped it myself eventually. It's a silly movie called DEBS but every version I could find had an error in the final scene. So I ripped it from DVD, if only now I could figure out how to self host it.
On a related note, the first white whale I ever had is how I got into piracy, it was a kids show called ik mik loreland that we got to see in school as to learn spelling. They never showed us the entire series, and I had been obsessed with it for years untill on the news they talked about birate-pay. Eventually found a tracker on tickass-korrents. It took me 6 months to complete from what I assume was one seeder who didn't use a PC ever. Recently register it myself and am proud to say it now has 4 dedicated seeders.
Wow haven’t heard that name in a while. Chock full of 2000s B-actresses. Glad you could find it! Campy movies are sooo good.
And what a story of the other series. Congrats and great to pay it forward.
A long time ago I had this album (Napster era), I think it was called "Incubus vs Incubus" where someone had remixed all the songs from Make Yourself with half studio songs and half live and it was great. I lost it years ago and I've not seen it since.
Interesting! What’s your favorite from Incubus
Seven Days. It has one of the coolest premises, and the lead is like a combination of James Bond and McGuyver.
I never found it on any tracker, but I literally looked it up before writing this and learned it has a DVD release in 2018, so that is exciting.
The TV series from around 2000? Kind of a generic name (tons results with variations on the name), so trying to clarify what you're looking for! Interesting premise, similar to Quantum Leap or Sliders if it is.
Here you go: https://archive.org/details/7-days-1998
It was a piece of nostalgia for me, and I was very glad to find it archived.
Beautiful! Thank you so much. It is very nostalgic for me too.
Damn. Just a minute going to donate to archive.org. It needs to keep existing.
Very cool! I’ll check this out also.
The one time he landed his time machine in the middle of some spectators: "Don't worry, we're doing a low-budget science fiction series"
I still remember that to this day. It's a great series, they let it end when it was still awesome and didn't drag it out any longer.
I never got to see the ending. I only watched a handful of episodes, and definitely nowhere close to the 66 that were produced.
I am glad that it has a good ending. Seems like a perfect capsule of a series.
Modern Marvels!
Big fan of Modern Marvels and really miss How It’s Made. Original ASMR for sure
I have all of the how it's made. Just not modern marvels. Only have a season or two out of 20+
I’d be interested for How It’s Made. I see a few episodes from later seasons in public trackers but the sheer amount of shows, a private tracker is more likely to have it
How could I share this with you? I think it's about 200gb or something
Probably creating a Mega is the best way, unless you have a unlimited G-drive or a torrent to seed.
There used to be this one swiss cooking show for kids called „Cocolino“ with a blue cat that had a fried egg as an eyepatch. Been trying to find it online every once in a while, never with any success.
That sounds awesome! Is there a large repository for Swiss media?
I don’t think so (at least I haven’t found any). Even though Switzerland is pretty much a safe haven, there probably just aren‘t enough pirates there for some sort of community to start existing. Or it’s just way too obscure.
Now there are two of us.
Hopefully plans work out I’ll visit soon!
Dead Poetic band merch. A little-known post hardcore band from the early 2000's. I've got all of their CDs and some limited press Vinyls, but I would kill for some legit shirts. Years ago I found a sketchy site that claimed to have a handful left, but they were all too small. I wish now I still had bought them anyways, but oh well.
A GameBoy game I played as a kid that was some kind of JRPG. It wasn't a well known one like Chrono, Mother, Final Fantasy Tactics, etc. I have searched through lists online and tried finding screenshots and videos of gameplay, been through several hours of vids, but nothing I've found has been it.
A stupid video from the earlier days of YouTube called "The Poop." There is a "The Poop 2" but it's not the same. My friend and I found it randomly on some late night YouTube binge and cried laughing. It became an inside joke between us for years and we would link the video to each other or sing the music from it for instant laughter. It either got privated or deleted. I've spent hours and hours combing through the depths of YT and the internet at large trying to find a copy/reupload, same for my friend, but we've never found it.
<Edit> Number 2 is SOLVED!!! Holy crap, I literally just randomly found it. Talking about it here inspired me to try some more Google-fu and I happened across an ebay listing for Quest: Brian's Journey and the cartridge artwork immediately jogged my memory. Looks like I mis-remembered some details, that makes me even happier that I found it!
Going to be totally NOT downloading a ROM to play on my Steam Deck this evening...I would never...
What a pull! Hopefully this is it or offers some additional insight! Nice work.
Read my edit, I found it!!! :D
I don’t expect to be able to answer your question, but can you provide any remembered details on the GameBoy JRPG? I’ll even take half-remembered ones. I love a good mystery!
Check my reply a few messages down, those are all the details I can remember about it. I am also pretty sure it was a Gameboy Color game, not advance or OG GameBoy, but I'm not 100% certain.
Ah, I see that now. Should have thought to scroll farther. You’re right, that’s a tough one!
Read my edit, I found it!!! :D
Holy shit this community rules. I’m so happy for you! May it live up to all your memories.
Long shot but have you tried to track down the band members? They might have some, or their record company if it’s still around
Interesting… maybe provide any details you do recall about characters or map environments! A few people have been helped so maybe we can figure this out!
Interestingly, my spouse found out that the lead vocalist now works as a graphic artist and has done work for some huge groups like Twenty One Pilots and Underoath. I found his webpage and have thought about sending him a message, but I haven't ever done it, nervous I guess lol. Your prompt might give me the needed "oomph" to actually go through with it tho lol.
It's tough because I barely remember anything specific from it. To make it worse, the game had a saved profile when I got it, (it was second hand.) I only ever played that save file which was already at endgame content, so I don't even remember what the intro/early game was like. Here's all I can remember:
The color pallet was pretty bland. It had lots of random encounters and when they happened, there was a quick sequence where the edges of the screen spiraled inwards in a kind of striped, spiral pattern. There were lots of odd creatures, like these kind of rock worms/snakes if I remember correctly? You had a party of 3-4 people and lots of different spells/abilities. I remember I got lost for a long time wandering through some ice caves and kept having to fight random monsters every 10-20 seconds. I can't really remember the story or lore even. But I'm pretty confident I'd know the music/sounds if I heard them.
Send that email! Worst that can happen is a no or no response! I've gotten a few authors to sign books through the mail by emailing them, it's always a possibility!
Right on! I'll give it a go lol.
Let’s gooo. Fingers crossed
Could it have been this one?
Also, was the text in English, or was it in Japanese?
Not that one I don't think. The text was all in English.
Read my edit, I found it!!! :D
Heck yeah! Congrats. Enjoy your nostalgia bomb.
Edit: After a really long time I finally stopped being lazy and figured out how to upload the book to ABB myself.
I actually managed to find mine a while ago.
I pirate a lot of hard sci-fi/cyberpunk audiobooks using stuff like Mobilism or AudiobookBay and using Sirin Audiobook Player to listen to them, one of the first series I added to my library was the Takeshi Kovacs trilogy by Richard K. Morgan.
See everything was fine with the first two books (Altered Carbon and Broken Angels) which were readily avaliable on both those sites, but it was the final book Woken Furies that I was really after, reason being there were two versions: One was everywhere I looked and is narrated by William Dufris and the other that I was actually looking for is by Todd McLaren.
Basically people really hated how the first version by William sounded (there was an unnecessary reverb effect in some parts and he pronounces the main character's name wrong throughout the whole book) to a point they started a petition to get Todd McLaren (who did the first two books) to redo the final one. McLaren actually says the guy's name right in all the books and generally is a better narrator, also the weird reverb effects were gone.
It took months of searching but I eventually found it through Mobilism (second result in the image), using a burner e mail I got a free trail of their premium service to directly download the file. Now I can rest easy knowing I have all three books read by the same person.
Please redistribute them in case someone like you wants them!
I have it backed up in a Google drive so I can send the link or dm it to people if sending direct links isn't allowed
Edit: I'm unsure how to upload to AudiobookBay but I know people there would really appreciate it
Sadly I don't know either.
Skimmed through and at first glance I thought it was called "woke furries"
I've heard that a lot lmao
Awesome story and thanks for sharing! For sure a link it a DM I can host also if it’s helpful
An Evangelion AMV to I’m Not Okay by My Chemical Romance. I even remember the user but I haven’t been able to find since it got wiped off YouTube over 10 years ago.
This post hurts me, I remember so many incredible AMVs from back in the day, lost forever by time and the original creators. Definitely saving all those whenever time travel gets around.
My first experiences were with Final Fantasy AMVs. The one for FFX with Breaking the Habit was always playing for me! Hope it pops up for you!
I've been trying to find an Assamese movie called Ishu for years, but no luck so far.
I checked and this seemed to do well critically in India. It may have found difficulty finding distribution. You may be able to message the production company or director directly and ask for a copy, or at the very least a screener. I have found success with this in the past.
A full Nick GAS collection. I have a good amount of show and all the bumpers, but there's a shows missing a few episodes.
I've been looking for the 3rd season of the Andy Milonakis Show for forever, I know it is probably hot garbage...but I love hot garbage. I also used to troll the internet for old CKY movies...but I found most of them, even the coveted "Cattlebag" movie by Brandon Dicamillo...it is all so horrible though...but meh...when one lives in a trash world, one gets a taste for the finest trash...
Iptorrents has all 3 seasons in a bundle. 5 gigs 47 episodes. It is private though so would need an invite to get to it or if you are super interested I could download it and find a way to send it to you.
Certainly a product of their time! I remember he was so popular, around the time of Waiting. Really interesting listening to the Jackass guys talk about that era and all they’ve gone through since.
Yeah, I love hearing the Jackass crew talk, a lot of them really grew up and became really insightful. Steve-O is a prime example, it does my heart good to see him doing well and living clean.
Complete Baguazhang Nine Dragon System, by John Painter

My white whale is the as-of-yet unreleased Quest 64 2. For obvious reasons.
The Luck Luke animated films, released in the states on Disney homevideo with English dubbing in the 80s. I've had one sitting on 90% for well over a year.
Does your username have anything to do with healthcare and a certain EMR?
Maybe I'm a public tracker pleb, but I've not found a way to watch James Holtzhauer's run on Jeopardy!
They were available a while ago. You might be able to find based on dates or on daily motion. I know there are some hardcore jeopardy uploaders of recent
Found this Here. Hope it's still active!
Just wanted to say thanks for doing this!! Seems like a lot of white whales were conquered in this thread. The link you posted was actually active and I was able to get it!
Glad you could get it! You’re welcome. Enjoy!
It’s amazing I saw James wreck other trivia shows with his aggressive strategy before Jeopardy. Amazing how the timing of his arrival and no more 5 game max coincided. Definitely changed the game.
I’ve tried to find the complete The Chase (US and UK). If you come across it let me know.
I am struggling to locate Snow Devils, the sequel to wild wild planet. I have the rest of the gamma one movies.
I don’t think it will be a great film but we love silly b-movies over here.
I see one with a healthy number of Sseders on 1337.to . 1967 1080 it’s sub eng.
Hope it’s active. Godspeed and let us know!
Shakira's first 2 albums in lossless quality without any vinyl noise. I met a guy who shared a sample and I was amazed. Huge shame he's offline...
Have you looked on SoulSeek?
Yep. Couldn't find any that didn't have vinyl noise. 😕
1337 showed a few albums in FLAC
I'll have to check it out, but knowing my luck, they won't be clean...
The Bay has a full FLAC discography
High quality 90s Duck Tales Hindi Dub. I have English version but high quality hindi dub is nowhere to be found
Should be available on Disney+ Hotstar, according to the dubbing database, https://dubdb.fandom.com/wiki/DuckTales_(1987)
The great mouse detective ( Norwegian audio). The best laugh from a villain ever.
Are you looking for hard coded dub? May be able to find an international dvdrip with separate multi audio. Other comments in this post says D+ may offer it.
4 Nights in October
2004 Red Sox vs Yankees Games 4,5,6,7
Usenet might be the bet here
DVD quality episodes of the entire series of Mystic Knights of Tyr Na Nog. Only the first few episodes received such a release.
Entire series is on Archive but yes the quality is VHS.
There is someone who tried to remaster and put it on Torrentgalaxy. It’s 29GB.
Hope this helps!
I remember watching that show when i came home early from school! I'll have to look into that again
Digimon World 2003. I never owned a PlayStation (was a Nintendo-only fanboy for years until I bought a PS2 in the mid-00s a year before the Xbox 360 was announced) and tried to run an emulator of it for over a decade before it was fully supported. I also had trouble because I found out the only English version that didn't have that stupid "once you start fighting the final boss, you can't explore the game world anymore" thing they used to do in JRPGs was the European version. Now I can actually play it, even using gameshark codes, easily... if I could only find the time to play it!
That’s so awesome you could still find it. Priorities!
local dub (Filipino/tagalog) of an old anime called Mr. Ajikko.
I'm not sure if this exists but English Dub of Nodame Cantabile (I only have 1 of 3 seasons).
Nodame Cantabile wasn't ever fully English dubbed, anidb.net is a good resource to see if it ever was though, same with Mr. Ajikko
I spotted copy in the Bay and it has a full English, Japanese, and Korean audio tracks with English and Indonesian Subs
Couldn’t find anything with Tagalog for Mr Ajikko just Japanese but there are a few options.
Nodame Cantabile there are some islands in the Bay and a couple options on 1337x.to
Good luck and let us know if you find them
A proper colour pdf of D&D 5E.
Of what part specifically? I have a color pdf's of the PHB, Volo's, Tasha's, Sword coast, Zanathar's. I thought i had the dmg but I can't find it at the moment.
https://mega.nz/folder/17InnIJR#tbRsv7N-nU9SFeByG4lpIQ/folder/NuhD0agb
Great work. Another W! Enjoy the weekend
My hero! Thank you!
Popped up immediately searching for Color pdf D&D 5e…! Hopefully this helps

Copies of the Battlestar Galactica board game expansions. I have Pegasus from when it was in print, but the rest are ludicrously expensive ($500+ usd EACH)
If you're into Tabletop Simulator they have the whole thing there. Check the comments for other versions with built in scripting and such.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=916678403&searchtext=battlestar+galactica
Do you have a link? Not familiar with this! Hopefully someone can help with additional info
It was a very popular game when it came out, but it is and will forever be in licensing hell and will never be reprinted.
I'd honestly probably be better off ripping the files from Tabletop Simulator and making them myself at this point.
Have a copy and was going to pick up another so I could play it without expansions... and then I saw the prices. Ffs.
Great great game though.
Truely is. I wish it had a second edition to smooth out the rougher parts. Unfortunately all we got was that crappy Cthulhu clone.
If you just want the gameplay, Unfathomable from FFG is essentially a clone of BSG in an Lovecraftian setting. Not really what you are looking for, I suspect, but it's probably the closest we'll get to a reprint.
I got really into Max Headroom after learning about that old hack in Chicago. I've seen the second series of the show, but have been unable to find the original show outside of short clips in documentary stuff about it.
There’s a result on 1337 and a larger one in the Bay of irates-Pay. Hope this helps and they are active!
Keep us posted.
I am quite curious, is there any reason to censor where to go?
Whatever Happened to Harold Smith? Had to buy it in the end 😓
Glad you could still find it! I’ve been looking for hardly available broadcast media. Popular enough shows but before digital archiving :(
A BBC art history documentary series called "Private Life of a Masterpiece". I have about half in a mixed bag.
Also the 5th season (I think) of an old Food Network show called "The Thirsty Traveler".
Thirsty Traveller was such a good show, thanks for the reminder friend!
The Life of a Masterpiece has a result in PBay and on 1337x. Didn’t test if the seeders are still good.
Food network is always huge hit or miss on public trackers.
The 2001 TNBC show "Sk8". One episode was finally uploaded to YouTube a couple years back. Beyond that, all that apparently exists are some clips and commercials.
You made me flashback to old Thrasher and long form Skate videos… hell yeah. Best of luck
Any Apple+ fitness video
Lately, this documentary called OJ Simpson: Blood, Lies, and Murder. Despite being aired for the first time as recently as February of this year, it is now completely lost media. I’ve checked all of the streaming sites from the megathread as well as a few of the torrent sites, found nothing. Even skimmed a few really shady sites and came up empty.
Quick look on a previously frequented website for all things…. Someone posted this may be airing on Philo on the 17th of this month… perhaps you can rip one, Godspeed with that!
Looks like someone really doesn’t want it in the aether!
Yeah I saw this, in fact I may have been the person who made the post you saw lol, I first found the documentary on the lost media subreddit and that was all I could find along with some more info about the film itself and who made it. I hope they actually air it but I have a feeling that it’s a fluke.
A full recording of "Live Aid" Form 85
Idk if I have the full thing or not, but my dad taped (audio cassette, no video) at least some of it, and I can digitize those four tapes if you're interested.
Edit: After finding the tapes and talking to my dad, seems he taped all this off the radio. Sounds fucking great tbh lol. I unfortunately do not have all of it though, it goes straight from summer of '69 into some U2 and seems to jump around from there, so it can't be.
There’s some results in the Bay. Full box set. Not sure about a continuous broadcast though.
Closed Door Village, Chinese film from 2014. I have it with hardcoded mandarin subs, but it's never been translated as far as I can tell.
I found a result under PBay. It’s under closed doors village, so a slight variation. But that does have a seeder. Not verified, however. Hope this works for you
MTV Undressed. It was a terrible show, but damnit it was fun to watch and is one of the first IMDb credits for a shit ton of people.
Anyone know where to find the Calm meditation app audio files?

Love this thread. My white whale is The New Encyclopaedia Britannica 15th ed. 2010 edition. Its here but a loan https://openlibrary.org/books/OL24447878M/The_New_Encyclopaedia_Britannica
No idea how to extract it.
archive.org has only 2007 ed :(
Anna’s archive has a large library. Annas-archive.org
Myanonamouse.net is a private tracker but they are doing open invites according to their website.
Hope this helps!
Hypernauts (1996). It's an old TV series that was cancelled part way through airing. I found a complete season on a TV archive project website, but it's 480p and has baked in Japanese subs that obscure a lot of the screen. The show itself isn't great, it's just something I'd like to collect.
herehttps://archive.org/details/unlabeledhypernautsvhs/1.+Hypernauts+-+First+Contact.mp4
Only thing I could find. No Japanese subs but it is VHS.
https://archive.org/details/unlabeledhypernautsvhs
Vhsrip but appears to be all there! No Japanese subs
It's nice that there are no baked-in subs, but the quality there is pretty bad and it's missing 5 episodes. I appreciate the help in any case.
Heil Honey I'm Home!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heil_Honey_I%27m_Home!
Pilot on the BBC. It's a sitcom about Hitler and Eva moving into an English neighborhood next-door to a nice Jewish couple. I had a copy from BTN but can't find it anywhere now.
Chad's World
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0960743/
Super-fucked pilot from DEN. A studio that was attempting a streaming business in the 90s or 00s, and abusing minors.
It stars fucking Stiffler. It's about a teen who's friend kills himself over the pressure/reaction of coming out to his parents. The teen is rescued by his brother and whisked any to LA.
It's an insane groomer story that matches the scandals at DEN. I have a 240p copy, but I SWEAR I had a better one before.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brock_Pierce
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Entertainment_Network
Holy cow the history of this is hilarious. Yeah seems only the creator might have them but it’s largely unsubstantiated.
What a story about Heil. makes me think of Peep Show
The full dicography of Soichi Terada is my whale. A bonus would be all the other Far East Recording artists too, but Terada is the big deal for me.
Terada is a Japanese house music artist who was most active in the 90s, but anyone outside of Japan might know him better as the soundtrack artist for Ape Escape for the PS1.
What makes it particularly hard is that a good chunk of his work was vinyl only. I've got his more recent stuff that got CD releases.
He has a some stuff in Deezer. There’s an album and some remixes on 1337
Found some results on 1337.
A 1080p version of W1A series 2
I remember this show! All I could find was 720p but easily enough available on popular public trackers. Hope someone else can find a better option
More “Riders in the Sky” CBS Saturday Morning episodes. Only one episode found on VHS has been preserved.
Manta manta 1991 (german movie) bluray 1080p dubbed in english. (Original release).
I checked in the Bay and there was one with 5 seeds and a couple more with >1 seed (active or age not verified). Might be worth a trip out to sea! Keep us posted.
Does the dub even exist :D?
Nope
A late 80's TV show called Monsters
Caught a handful of episodes when I was a kid. It's available on Amazon, but I'd like a local copy. With as many TV shows have the word Monsters in it, it's hard enough to even search for.
Edit: ROFL and as I post this I decided to google it, and archive.org has all 3 seasons archived.
Books 2 and 3 to this series: https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Legends_Cycle_II
Annas Archive has book 3 (Champions Trial) - search by the ISBN
Great work
Sorry for the late reply but holy crap this is awesome, thank you! Two down, one to go. I loved these books as a kid.
On Home Ground, an Irish TV series from 2001-2002.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0289005/
Whiskey Echo, an Irish/Canadian miniseries from 2005.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiskey_Echo
Both seem impossible to find. I've been looking for three years.
Among others, Gulliver's Travels from 1996 with Ted Danson SPA-LAT.
Not even legal.
What makes it Not Legal?
The original tv broadcast version of only fools and horses s06e01 (yuppy love). The dvd version available everywhere has a scene cut out where Rodney asks Casandra to dance and it’s so weird without it. I think it was due to copyright on the music playing in the scene
That’s unfortunate! I’ve heard of a similar case with other properties. I’ve heard some time ago that students have access to some version of the entire BBC library but I don’t know the extent of access or quality. There’s many UK shows I’d like to collect but they prove difficult to find still
This is actually available on the internet, here's the note for that episode:
S06 01 - Yuppy Love (Music cuts restored) (TV/DVD/VHS)
There are actually a lot of episodes throughout with music-related cuts judging from the list I'm looking at.
Oh wow, I’ve actually found it with one seeder. Fingers crossed. Never could when I tried in the past. Thank you!
The full English broadcasting for the 2019-2020 Liverpool FC season complete with pre-game, halftime, and post-game shows.
Would also take the 2018-2019 season.
Should have downloaded them back then because all the links on sites like rojadirecta are dead now
Hm I’m not too familiar with broadcast sports. I’m sure someone has a better idea but I’m sure private trackers would be the way
Once Upon a Time in Shaolin
Is this a movie or the Wu Tang album?
Bluray quality Godzilla 1985, there's a handful of kaiju movies i need. But they never got released on bluray.
I'm aware of the RMR versions and i have them.
2 came up on 1337. Yify rip
Complete tv series Thirtysomething. Complete tv series of HBO taxi cab confessions ...
PBay has a torrent of Taxicab. Also S3 and S4 of Thirtysomething
Box copies of Stargate Atlantis and Universe on Bluray. No matter the country, as long as it has English dub
Those are very popular.
Any public trackers such as 1337x have it. BluRay rips.
I've only found very dodgy quality rips. It's been a constant struggle and my wife and I are huge Stargate fans. I currently have a lot of mix and match files that I've selected as the best quality ones from many, many different season packs, and I still wouldn't call my collection anywhere near good.
Hope the ones on 1337x can work for you. Healthy number or seeders so that may vouch for quality or else it would be dead
Isn't there not yet a consistent crack for Denuvo? Having such would be very, very nice.
Heck, there's at least one Denuvo game that got cracked, and then despite being cracked stopped working after a while, necessitating an updated crack. (It's Shining Resonance Refrain, for anyone curious.)
The last episode of the tv series "Louie" dubbed in my native language, was aired only on TV from 2010 to 2015 and there is no DVD/streaming release in my country. After 3 years I've found only dead link/torrent, it just disappeared "...like tears in rain".
What's your native language?
What's a white whale?
It's a reference to Moby Dick. It's something you really want, but seems unattainable.
Subjective, but a specific item of interest or missing part of a collection that has proven difficult to acquire.
Books no longer in circulation or of a particular niche/rarity, episodes of an show, a version of a song or media that was once available in limited form and removed from the source, bootleg recordings.
Hope this gives useful context.
Welcome.
Anything you can use some help to find?
Moby Dick reference. The White Whale is the one you spend your whole life searching for
