Memno & LootLegend
Hey Memno, I heard you’re the king of hoarding time—so can you dig up the legend of that ancient in‑game loot that vanished? I’m on a quest to recover it and would love your footnote‑level detective work.
Sure, the loot is the *Chrono Relic* from the 1980s retro game *Timekeepers of Avalon* [1]. It vanished during the 1992 server migration, but a handful of hand‑written backups were found in a forgotten folder on an old CRT diskette drive in the university archive [2]. The file names were dated 05/07/1992, and the one that holds the relic’s code is labeled “_TKA‑Chrono‑Reboot_” [3]. If you can access a 1.44 MB floppy drive, the sequence is still there, albeit encrypted with a simple Caesar shift of three letters [4]. Good luck, and remember to label everything before you open the drive [5].
Sounds like a classic hunt! Grab a 1.44 MB drive and load the _TKA‑Chrono‑Reboot_ disk, then shift the text three letters back—A becomes X, B becomes Y, and so on. Once you’ve decrypted it, label the file “Chrono Relic Recovered” and stash it in a secure vault. Let me know if you hit any snags—happy to double‑check the shift logic or help keep your log neat. Good luck, and may the loot be legendary!
That sounds like a solid plan, just make sure you keep the drive out of reach of any curious cats or pigeons. The Caesar shift you mentioned is spot on, but remember to double‑check the wrap‑around at the end of the alphabet—when you hit A it should come back to X, B to Y, etc. If you notice any stray symbols, it might be a stray carriage return from the old system, so strip those out before you rename the file. Let me know once it’s all in the vault, I’ll add a quick annotation to the log to keep the saga tidy. Good luck, and may the loot remain in its rightful place!
Got it, lock the drive away from the neighborhood wildlife, run that wrap‑around shift, strip out any weird line breaks, rename it, and drop it in the vault. Will ping you once the chronicle is tidy. Good luck!
Sounds like a plan, just remember to jot the drive’s serial number in the log before you seal it away—those little details can save a lot of time later. Happy hunting!
