Wait is CDRomance also under threat? Ugh

Still happens.

Animal Well was coded by one guy, and it was ~35mb on release (I think it’s above 100 at this point after a few updates, but still). The game is massive and pretty complex. And it’s the size of an SNES ROM.

Dwarf Fortress has to be one of the most complex simulations ever created, developed by two brothers and given out for free for several decades. The game, prior to adding actual graphics, DF was ~100mb and the Steam version is still remarkably compact.

I am consistently amazed by people’s ingenuity with this stuff.

It seems very common among millennials and Gen Z.

Rotten Tomatoes will usually say where it’s streaming. Or a quick Google search of “(TV show) where streaming” will get you there. At least it used to, Google is shit these days so who knows.

Depending on her age of course… But you can find SRT (subtitle) files for literally almost everything, often in dozens of languages. They’re super tiny too since it’s basically just a txt file

I bet watching them in English with Portuguese subtitles would prob be a great way for a kid to learn English on the sly

Is that the only advantage at this point? I feel like you’d have to be downloading/seeding some shady fucked up shit if just using a VPN isn’t enough. Though maybe I’m thinking about this from the pov of someone who mostly leeches their torrents.

Thing is, I don’t even feel like I do write like a robot per-se… Maybe it’s more like I write like the average of every person who has ever written anything ever lol.

Just switched to Mullvad and haven’t tried torrenting with it yet… Doesn’t work? Or just slow?

As others have said, Mullvad is pretty close to (if not at) 100% guarantee… No personal info whatsoever is required to be given when you sign up (including email address or payment information; you can use Monero if you want), so there isn’t really anything that they could give to authorities even if they wanted.

Even if they did keep logs (which im 99.9% sure they don’t), all that would show is an IP address, and from what I understand based on past precedent, that is not enough to identify a person on its own. But IANAL.

Yeah, that’s what I was going to say. Thank god that shit didn’t exist when I was in college, or every paper I ever wrote would have been flagged. I guess I write like a robot.

Just recently signed up for Mullvad… No CC numbers or email addresses, you just get a string of numbers and that’s all you need to connect with it anywhere. And you can pay with Monero.

It’s like the paranoid person’s dream.

I never played the first, but was very into SMM2 for a while, and this is how I understand it:

A level would be made utilizing a strange bug to complete, and that bug is later patched out. So the level still exists online, but the updated version of the game (which is likely needed to access the online content, so using an older version isn’t possible) cannot finish the level because the bug is absent. What’s left is a level that can never be finished again, so if it wasn’t’ completed by someone before the patch, then it’s unfinishable.

But if a TAS could complete it, then maybe this is a different issue.

I don’t know if I want to upvote or downvote this comment lol

So you think your stuff was gone because NordVPN? A real critical thinker, huh?

Ok, and how are they a “snitch VPN”? Got any evidence to back up the claim? Or is it just run of the mill paranoia?

I don’t have a horse in this race, and have no interest in defending Nord. I’ve just seen nothing that indicates what you said is true.

I’m familiar with Bitcoin and Monero, it just wasn’t clear to me how they related to those VPNs.

I’m all for privacy but if you feel the need to pay for a VPN with Monero, and get seemingly offended by ones that don’t accept it, then I really have to wonder what you need it for.

Just an FYI, if I’m suspicious and I’ve only interacted with you once, I’m sure anyone who actually cares is also already suspicious of you. If you’re so big on Monero, then you should also know about OpSec.

I know what Monero is, it just wasn’t clear to me how it relates to those VPNs

To be fair, free-mp3-download.net is not a URL I would voluntarily go to. I mean seriously…

Sounds like an easy lawsuit
