I feel like this whole hobby has always existed on the verge of being deleted for whatever reason, and I am forever grateful that there are people who put this stuff up in the first place.

Still need to work out a way for me to help out.

Ahh, the actually-pornographic version of begging senpai to notice oneself.

I've noticed that there's generally good coverage of big-name games, and while that's cool and all, there are still a ton of lesser-known games trapped exclusively on platforms like Steam. Anyone know what sites are more likely to have them?

Heh, more of this shit.

Remember, the only reason we can still watch the highly influential 1922 vampire movie Nosferatu today is because some people didn't destroy all their copies despite a court saying they had to.

DISOBEY DESTRUCTION ORDERS.

COPY ALL THE THINGS.

The fact that you have some sort of plan for managing your photos is one step ahead of me. I have no plans and my photos are a very messy collection.

I would caution against using a flash drive (a.k.a. pen drive) for any permanent storage. I've had multiple flash drives fail on me. Usually it's this super cheap kind that gets distributed as branded swag, but I've had some others fail too.

Well, it's not too surprising; if people are like that, and AIs learn from people...

[-] seaturtle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago

An admirable sentiment.

The fact that a game is Steam-only is good enough reason to pirate it.

I always knew that funding the internet using ads wasn't sustainable in the long run.

Hot take: the internet was better when it was simpler like that.

Found some interesting stuff on that site, but it's not in the megathread, so I was wondering if anyone else had experience with it.

edit: making the post title not link it

If it has Denuvo it's basically asking "please, get a pirated version if you want this, because the official version sucks".

I would hope that's the case, but as I mentioned in another comment, I've actually seen a case where a Denuvo-addled game was cracked, then the cracked version stopped working at some point (seemingly after a certain calendar date or a certain time after installation, because it definitely wasn't based on in-game progress), necessitating an updated crack.

The game is Shining Resonance Refrain, if you're curious.

Maybe the new crack actually succeeds at really defeating the DRM? Who knows. (Though I also remember it saying something like you gotta skip a certain cutscene or else it'll crash. But, let's say we excuse that.)

Yeah, I agree, I can understand wanting higher resolutions but there are diminishing returns and even 1 GB for a half-hour episode is pretty absurd.

Plus, you can't seed what you can't keep.

Yeah this is the kind of crap that encourages people to pirate simply to spite them.
