Yep it’s been perfect. I’m very happy with this instance and communities.

I did a bunch of downloading of stuff I plan to read before the extensions stop working. Should give me time to wait to see what develops until then.

I use it mainly for manhwa too, since it’s really easy to find higher quality manga downloads compared to manhwa with it being webtoon based.

Emulation is king when it doesn’t have bugs for sure. I’ve been running more games through emulation over the switch as it’s gotten better for that beautiful fps and resolution jump.

Jail breaking is an option too for the Switch and I’ve been happy with the experience. Even paying more for a physically modded oled version ends up paying for itself quick considering the price of games.

Yeah, cost of an extra $120 a year to try and get more media out of a legit and already expensive monthly subscription is the point where I’d just scrap it all for a cheaper VPN for pirating. Point of paying for Netflix or Hulu for me would be to not have to do that stuff.

Also, complaining about not having time but wasting their time talking to strangers online. I could understand the perspective from someone who doesn’t pirate, but to a pirate it is pretty hilarious seeing them making it out as this incredibly difficult time consuming thing like infomercials do.

What are you pirating that makes it so hard? I don’t bother with software or programs so it’s just pretty much looking at what’s newly released and torrenting it.

Why even pirate if it’s that much of a pain? Pretty much same logic to me a someone who complains about how confusing pc gaming is. I’d point to the consoles.

Really? I could understand that point from someone not in the piracy community, but doesn’t seem any more time consuming than posting on lemmy. Not really starved for time if someone is spending their time on social media.

Mind you I don’t pirate software or games, so maybe that’s why. Pretty much hardest has been waiting for download to finish.

The hunt is part of the fun. Like how people will opt to build a PC or a keyboard over a pre-built or pull out vinyl over digital. The steps taken to retrieve and enjoy the media is sometimes a relaxing process.

Has links to Nintendo games there and also shows archive.org source for them too.

Biggest evidence of that is Epic will give away games for free, but there will be people who prefer to pay for the Steam version over the free version.

That’s the biggest evidence that piracy is a problem of distribution and goes against the idea that those who pirates are against paying for a product.

I pirate on Linux and don’t use that device for anything else. And I don’t pirate software or games where you are installing stuff.

Piracy is timeless.

I love qbittorent. I love that it’s in the Linux repo too.

Decentralization has always been the way for piracy, since many places inevitably go down throughout the years but it being spread out is what keeps everything from being taken down by a single closure. So while not convenient it makes it more resilient.

Yeah, had my first account there and enjoyed it, but afterwards the closure and the down times after return leading to not knowing when the instance was up led to it dying. But, I’m glad the spirit lives for fmhy on db0.

Start revolution and overthrow dictator and put myself in as dictator. Build up military and gather nukes under guise of protecting country, but it’s really to protect me from copyright trolls.

You forgot the most important part. They are pro DRM… Wtf

Only roms and syncthing to sync saves. I love syncthing.
