I assumed it was a Patreon because of the name, but its still a for profit company asking their customers for donations in the form of a monthly subscription so they can sell you more games. You don't get anything tangible out of it, just a private Discord and a badge on your name.

Its skeezy no matter how you spin it.

Gog has been my preference for a few years now, but there's no way I'm subscribing to a patreon that gets me literally nothing. I honestly assumed at first you'd get something out of it at first, like a free game from the preservation program every month or something similar to Amazon Prime's giveaways. Its honestly cause me to start to re evaluate how much I purchase from them. Its kinda skeezy.

Its not Foss, but gog.com is based in Europe. It offers DRM free games. Lots of old games, but also tons of new games as well.

This was most definitely my least favourite. Why show what Kionians look like in episode 1 when you're just going to make them all look human in episode 7. Just seems lazy to me.

Genesis and Caleb's story was better, but seemed out of character for Genesis. I also disliked the suggestion that men & women can't be friends without falling in love with each other.

Meat from our local grocer is always at least 40-60% cheaper.

Nice. I'll give them a shot. Thanks.

Its the best way. Its cheaper, you have plenty of user reviews to check first, and you get a completed game, without bugs.

I'm starting to like the Venari Ral quite a bit actually. They seem to be more like actual mustache twirling pirates rather than a tyranical government masquerading as pirates like the chain was. I'm waiting for Calebs mom to be re-introduced as his right hand in the finale.

I really like this take. I did get the impression that Dax is also kinda the wild child of the symbiotes too, for many of the reasons you listed. They are also very passionate about their friends. They chose to uphold a blood oath that even the Klingons didn't consider binding, they stood by Sisko for 3 lifetimes, they refused to break the confidence of one of Curzon's married lovers, at the risk of their life, and they protected Jake's book, for many centuries. They hold onto these generational bonds, even though its taboo for the Trill.

AAA games are just too expensive and many are just not finished at release now. I'm not forking out top dollar for a half finished game. Outer Worlds 2 is still $89.99 CAD. That is absolutely insane in my opinion. I enjoyed the first one, but I also bought it on sale. Indy games nowadays are generally a better bang for your buck anyways and theyre only $30-40 regular price and they are also generally at a finished state or at the very least very honest about the state they are in.

I'll probably pick the game up in 2 years when its $20 on Steam or something.

Or not a teenager worried and stressed out about how and when to talk to their parents or something.

From my understanding nobody knows. The DOJ said it was already removed, but the NYTimes claimed they found 40 images of CSAM. The DOJ said they immediately removed them Saturday, but a lot of files that didn't contain CSAM were also removed. I've extracted the 101GB torrent and haven't come accross any yet, but there's a ton of files in there too. People have yet been able to download the entire ZIP and are trying to scrape everything individually as far as I know.

As for the legality, I'm not a Lawyer and I don't live in the states, but It's all information that's been released to the public by the US DOJ as required by a court order, so it's a call that only you can make. With the amount of data that's already disapeared I'm personally choosing to host it regardless, and I'll seed whatever anyone else can salvage of dataset 9 too.
