[Dead Links] - Blog

There are some dead links on the pride month 2025 week 4 showcase page:

To reproduce go to the Xenia Foxpack: https://prismlauncher.org/news/pride-showcase-2025-4/#xenia-foxpack

Then, click either of the two links:

Then, be greeted by this:

During 2024 Discord started expiring these links from being accessible outside the client 24 hrs after the link was generated/copied, with the claim that this is to prevent Discord from being used as a malware host.

Recommended solution:

Don't use Discord as a file host for your website -- perhaps these zips could be hosted on the website itself! That way the packs will be available for months and years to come!

Seconded, I'm strong proponent of digital preservation and I'd love to have those, even if it's just a silly little texture pack ^^

Since the links are still dead, I had a look around and found a website that details the small history behind Xenia as a character, and it includes the artwork used in the Xenia "Foxpack" Catpack for anyone that wants reproduce it.

The website in question is: https://xenia.efi.pages.gay/

And here is a direct link to the artwork: https://xenia-images.efi.pages.gay/cathodegaytube-splash.png
