Dang, I'm old. I was going to say hang out in Gamedeception, but apparently it's been gone for years!

greetz to readers of Unknowncheats, cs.rin.ru, etc.

Yoo haha Unknowncheats, now there's a blast from the past.

Milworm (milw0rm?) also got me started back in the day.

I used to frequent cs.rin.ru for all things non-steam back when I operated non-steam CSS servers.

UnknownCheats is also absolutely amazing for cheat development. Back when I was writing undetected kernel cheats for my own experimentation purposes, I learned so much there.

I made my lifelong best friends hosting non-Steam servers, and writing the first cracks in Lua to generate fake Steam IDs from IP addresses.
Gosh, haven't been to cs.rin.ru for years.

UnknownCheats was (still is?) good for getting information on undocumented APIs when game modding (for a good while the Half-Life SDK was incomplete).
