I don’t know how must have it is, but I’ve been enjoying Isles of Sea and Sky, a sokoban type puzzle game currently 10% off until July 11th (currently $17.99). I’m pretty sure it’s maybe a month or two old at least.

I don’t care what quality the things I’m downloading are so long as the file size is small enough. There are very few acceptions to that rule. Biggest one is if someone tried to edit shows using AI to enhance them by upping the resolution. Had one series I was so looking forward to watching after a long time torrenting that I had to delete because you could easily tell an AI (or someone who doesn’t have a clue what they’re doing) tried enhancing the resolution and made it unwatchable for me.
Edit: Damn, reread and I wish I could get 5mbps in the apartment complex I’m in! I’d be lucky if my download speeds spiked to 1mbps. All this with what is supposed to be the best ISP in the area, which is also an absolutely shitty company (xfinity).
That’s a theory I can actually agree with. Sounds plausible enough to be true, given what we know about large corpos.
I know I’ve seen that on 1337x and was absolutely disappointed. Don’t remember what I was looking for, but definitely a shame.
It’s absolutely amazing how we went from the majority of people not knowing how to use a computer in the beginning of computers to everyone knowing how to do at least the bare minimum on a computer in the 2000s to now circling back to the majority of people not knowing how to use a computer because pretty much everything they do can and probably is done on a phone. It’s also real scary to think since I’d assume most of us Gen Z-ers aren’t properly able to object to privacy eroding tech bills because we’re too tech illiterate to understand the impacts.
Time to shoot the newbie. First used Ubuntu 20.04 in 2022. It was a necessity at the time on that shitty laptop and I had never used Linux before. Wouldn’t go back to using that distro or laptop ever again since I have upgraded.
Same. There’s one game I liked well enough after demoing it that I bought merch for the game to support the dev, alongside having bought the game on Steam. If a game is worth the price and is a quality game, I have absolutely no problem going from demo to buying it if I can.
Can’t be spoiled if you’re already confused
It’s not too old, released in 2017, but after over a year of being in my steam library I just installed Yooka-Laylee on my deck and got through the tutorial. So far it’s a really fun game.
You could replace that with just about any other fandom based around a TV/movie franchise and I guarantee it’ll probably be the exact same. I am thankful every day that I don’t join specific communities based around individual show/movie franchises because of how toxic they can get.
Point out to certain fandoms either some major flaw or the fact you don’t like the show and some groups will act like you just committed a 9/11 style terrorist attack on their show. Same thing even goes for creators of the show sometimes. We really need to end fandom culture.
Didn’t know that. Fair enough for them.
Calling open source communism aside, capitalism and those who benefit the most from it probably absolutely HATE the largest open source projects because the more people use those, the less likely they are to use their telemetry based spy/bloatware.
Imagine trying to make a paid video/audio file player in today’s day and age and going up against the titan that is VLC. Or an audio editor/playback program in similar fashion to Audacity. Two of the biggest open source programs that I imagine just about anyone who has used a computer has probably heard of and/or used at some point.
By opt-in I will immediately presume they mean they will let you know that they’re doing it after you opt-in. I imagine it’s gonna be something they still secretly do without your permission because fuck you peasant.
Just started the 3rd public release of Pokemon Vanguard. The almost all the regionals in the game look absolutely fantastic. Doesn’t follow the standard 8 gyms, fight evil team, defeat them, elite 4 pattern from most official and fan games I’ve played. In this one you end up going to some trainer school (vanguard academy), becoming a legal pokemon trainer in the region, and do assignments. So far I’ve only done one and it’s a pretty fun game.
It has 3 difficulty options, options for turning every battle to be a double battle (I assume this doesn’t work on wild pokemon but I have no clue), doing a monorun of every type that won’t let you catch anything other than the type you’re using, and a streamer mode that replaces music that could get you copyrighted. All before you begin the game. Also, I think you can find just about every starter from any of the games, with most of them being regionals with new types, like poison fire chimchar. Even has gen 9 pokemon, which I’m glad is becoming more common.
That’s good to know.
I’ll have to quickly check there to see if they have what I need. Thanks.
Edit:
This was a site I got a file that caused Windows Defender to go ballistics ony desktop a few years back. Couldn’t remember the name. Probably gonna find a patch and see what virustotal says.
There used to be a site I looked at a few years back that I don’t recall the name of, but it definitely felt a little sketchy. Same with the one file I downloaded. Set off Windows Defender real quick and that told me to stay away from that site.
Definitely gonna have to look in virtual disc emulating them. I have a virtual disc drive program on my desktop, so I could look into trying to make that work. That, or I’ll try and find the small disc image thing you brought up to save space while trying to make that vde thing work.
Thanks for the info.
I personally don’t see a reason to torrent music when a simple download of a flac or something from yt if I can’t find it anywhere else is usually fine. But I will say I’m more likely to pirate music from large artists/companies because I don’t support large record companies and their shitty practices.
Similar thing goes for things like Vocaloid, UTAU/OPENUTAU, Synthesizer V, DeepVocal, etcetera, songs because the majority of the time the songs I’m listening to don’t have an official download (or a link to a removed file) or way to get it through supporting the person who made them.
I have no idea what to do or how to even get started with Usenet, so I just use a VPN and torrent as needed.
Wait, people hide NSFW content? I don’t care if people see it since I have posts set to have thumbnails, so nobody should reasonably be able to make it out anyway.
