I’ve never seen that. YMMV, I guess.

Yep, being under US jurisdiction is like being under any other autocracy’s jurisdiction now.

“This is Abuse.”

That skit has only gotten more and more relevant with the rise (and fall) of the internet.

Since capitalism isn’t ending any time soon, I’ll have to be satisfied with leeching from it where possible.

Look for alternative ways to give them money, like merch and the like.

Kinda sad how they went from having virtually anything you could think of to watch (and having a halfway decent recommendation algorithm to boot!) to where they are today.

They’re not entirely to blame - once other companies saw that this streaming thing actually made money, they pulled all their stuff and put it on their own services, leading to the cable 2.0 we have today.

Everything else that sucks about them now, though, yeah, they’re to blame.

The OP. They’re just the messenger.

They will. We just won’t see them when we watch their shows.

You actually want most people to pay for this crap so stuff still gets made for us to pirate. Thanks, rubes!

I want to know what the five basic kinds of users are to see which kind I am!

All that matters is when the game was first released anywhere. SMW - 11/21/90 in Japan, Sonic - 6/21/91 in Europe (and boy, is it weird that Europe got it first!)

Bowser being Robotnik before Robotnik was a thing.

What about Hogwarts Legacy? Fuck copyright laws, pirate it. Just like with any other big-name game, lots of people will be buying it. Nobody will notice or care that you pirated.

we HP fans deserve a genuinely good Hogwarts simulator along the lines of HL meets Bully

If only Rockstar would make Bully: The Dark Ages.

The Sims 4 is the only game my wife plays nowadays. You can bet we didn’t pay the hundreds of dollars it would cost to get all the DLC.

Science isn’t about “why” - it’s about “why not?” Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much? In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won’t hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired! Not you, test subject, you’re doing fine. Yes, you. Box. Your stuff. Out the front door. Parking lot. Car. Goodbye.

I recently got a Steam Deck after the Switch 2 reveal because Nintendo priced me out, but the vast, vast majority of people aren’t like me. The Switch 2 will do fine, but not nearly as well as the Switch 1 due to prices being less accessible. I wonder just how many actual new exclusive games Nintendo is going to be releasing for it - their new releases were pretty sparse on the Switch due to so many ports, and they’re already pumping out Switch 1 game upgrades for Switch 2 and marketing them like they’re new releases, not to mention it’s going to be PS4/PS5 dual releases all over again for a while.

Yet Nintendo goes after emulation with the fury of a thousand angry suns. It makes me want to pirate their stuff more out of spite.
