My kids like this one
and they got a kick out of it
when I closed my blizzard launcher
and they saw the good wizard boy
hiding behind it

This is a fantastic pape, friend. I will be using it myself.

Some of my favourite papes came from these mega folders which are 404 now. Lost them all recently when my drive failed. I hope op is still out there. Would love to stumble across them again one day, but I don't know where to start. If anyone knows I would be grateful.

I'll contribute this pape. super comfy and nostalgic, takes me back to the past walking the streets at night, chatting shit with my bro, and searching for meaning. Life is different now and I miss those simpler times.

Hard choosing one but this one used to be on my computer when I lived in a dorm without AC and I would lay in bed staring at it imagining I was in a cold rainy area to try to fall asleep.

Been using this one for years after having ones I used for a few months tops. I used to have a similar TV and I like the contrast of it just being in a jungle. The artstyle itself also tingles my neurons in the right way. I keep all my icons on the TV screen for fun.

I originally found it in this mix and reverse searched for a bigger res.

I like helping people in this kind of situation. Feel free to reply if you want more help. A few things that might help:

Do you still have the drive?

Sometimes files can still be recovered from a damaged drive using an external adapter and forensic/data-recovery software like PhotoRec. It depends on the type of damage and the drive type.

Do you still have the old Mega links?

If you do, you might be able to find useful information about the uploader using Google dorking, ChatGPT Deep Research, or web.archive.org.

I tried some Google dorking based on the filename you posted, but I did not find anything useful. I also did not find public matches for the file hash.

If you still have the file, you can also check for metadata:

on Linux: "file" and "exiftool" commands
on Windows: AlternateStreamView by NirSoft, to check for Alternate Data Streams, if present

Google reverse image search shows that your image was originally posted by an user named Adam on Flickr:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/134604443@N07/

Specifically:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/134604443@N07/46205407441/

The Flickr page has a higher-resolution original, but downloads from free accounts are currently limited to 1024px. Your file looks like a 2048px Flickr display/large-size version, so it was probably saved before the current download limit or scraped from the displayed image.

It is possible that someone made a Mega collection from Adam’s Flickr photos. Maybe the folder only contained photos from this user, in which case your search may basically end here.

You could try messaging Adam and asking whether he ever made a Mega folder, or whether someone asked permission to make a collection of his photos. His bio says:

"just for fun. if anybody stumbles upon a pic of mine and wants to use it for something, just ask and I'll likely say yes! always looking to make friends, shoot me a message"
