No, but it is in the megathread both here and on Reddit. It's practically the largest video game soundtrack website/forum that exists right now with the exception of maybe Soulseek.

Back in 2019 some releases installed directly from IGG-GAMES contained crypto miners. They also added their own DRM to releases. Since then I have stayed away and never looked back.

Best of luck with your endless tech support anytime something doesn't work.

The Amber Room on Telegram is the spiritual successor to The Trove that is actively updated. I can confirm it does have the World of Darkness books.

The r/piracy wiki died when I stopped updating it which is a shame, I used to recommend it to everyone. Now I pass them onto FMHY or awesome.

The frog in boiling water is actually a complete myth. The frog jumps out when the water is too warm for it, it's not completely stupid. If the price is 'too hot' for you, jump out. Deezer (or any other streaming service) isn't forcing you to stay subscribed.

All prices seem to be going up around the board. I just got an email saying my Turkish Family Plan (via VPN) is increasing from TRY ₺59.99 to TRY ₺115.99. That's $3.29 to $6.36.

For me, Plex or Jellyfin is great if I want to share my library with some friends or family, especially non-technical people. Kodi really needs tinkering and you need debrid subscriptions and requires more local maintenance. It's great for me but I wouldn't want to teach my family how to use Kodi and me having to fix it when it breaks.

uBlock Origin is a must for ad blocking. Anything else is just extra flavour. I like SponserBlock and Return YT Dislikes.
