Now that I know a bit more about security and obfuscation I rather not use any pirated games/software anymore

Then don’t and pay every streaming service, game and software.

If they know how to crack/reverse engineer some complicated stuff, you can be sure they add some shady stuff in it.

The most pointless, baseless and factless argument ever.

They need somehow a way to earn there living expanses ? It’s a service we think it’s free but nothing comes without a counterpart.

If you genuinely think crackers earn lots of money through cracking games, you sure are uneducated.

I googled and checked seltzers, but unfortunately, I can’t try them because they contain alcohol (unless I found the wrong ones?)

• Quit nicotine several years ago and never went back (shisha, cigarettes and cigars).
• Quit porn because it had become a bad coping mechanism (still struggling with it a bit tho).
• Slowly trying to quit my bad eating habit (I see them as addictions). I don’t gain weigh, so bad eating habits happens.
• Slowly trying to quit my soda addiction.

I have this problem KissAnime shutdown and lost half of the list. Personally decided back then to do it manually on Excel.

Took a bit of time but very much worth it (imo). No stress of losing it due to shutdowns. It’s also easy to track how many shows you watched, dropped or want to watch because of the formulas you can use within Excel.

If I ever purchase games, it do be Steam.

For me, personally, it’s more about the focus of votes vs actual discussion. I’m worried it would turn the tides and make people much more focused on the votes than actual discussion. It might make it echo chamber-ish.

I recently disabled showing votes on my side (through Voyager app). Even if I get downvoted a hundred times over, if I just get a respectful discussion with links to (trustable) sources. I’m all alright with that.

I rather not. If it does happen, I’ll just rss Lemmy and stop using my account. I like Lemmy the way it is because there’s not much focus on votes and more on actual discussion.

When it was just released on PC, I saw on Reddit that it probably won’t happen. Apparently Empress does not like anime games and therefore refuses to crack them.

I, myself, have been secretly hoping for it as well though. Got the game on PS5 (ps4 version) and refuse to pay money again for the game (unless it gets a heavy-heavy sale for like 10 bucks or something).

I honestly see no reason to use Reddit for its Piracy Megathread. Lemmy’s user base is much more friendly, helpful and the Megathread here is the same (if not better) organized than there.

Not only that, I remember there was quite some problems among the mods on Reddit. So I’m not surprised something like this happened. Once there’s a slight fracture, it’ll slowly but steadily get broken into pieces entirely.

I don’t see much decent content on both Piracy and PiratedGames subreddit anyway. Majority is memes, ‘is this safe’ and spam posts about empress.

Thanks, I have applied the vaft one through Tampermonkey. Hope it works!

Thanks, I will try vaft method that another Lemmy user mentioned and if that does not work, I will use your proxy. Appreciate it aye!

That’s understandable! I’ll check look around for a decent Mastodon server.

Already glad this Lemmy instance exists lol

I upvoted your comment because I agree with it! On a serious note you are right though.

I will never ever fucking purchase a console or game of that shit company. I will always pirate and emulate.

People wouldn’t pirate so much if their prices were not so high and their console itself not so trash. If they made a decent product and decent prices, many would’ve purchased it.

But €70 for Mario Kart that’s approximately 8 years old and on an outdated console? No thanks. Not to mention them suing people and such.

Gosh, I hate that company.

I so despise that, I always cut it off and get agitated because always leaves some sharpness.

Source of the last point?

Find a Reddit thread that’s about the current war between Israeli government and Hamas. I’m not going to search for these threads, got enough of Redditors behavior. Just google something along the lines of ‘‘Israel-Hamas war’’ and you’ll find upon the threads, just take a solid minute or two and you’ll notice the comments.

Here’s a thread from a month ago that addresses it as well: Can we all just agree that killing civilians is bad and cheering it is repulsive?

Anything you want from Reddit - use an RSS-feed. Reddit itself is not worth to use at all.

All you currently see is:

• Drama (writing awful stuff to each other).
• Ragebait.
• Terrible memes
• Bots karma farming
• Bots trying to steer political things.
• People cheering on deaths of innocent civilians.

Surprised it got a lot of backlash. The price increase of streaming service is bullshit while they’re removing sharing password and worse experience for the users.

Though, I saw the same picture on reddit through RSS-Feed. Haven’t checked the comments on that one, I’m curious now though.

I can think of two things;

• Cheering on things such as murder, harming people/ animals
• Karma manipulation

Honestly, just avoid Reddit like the plague. If you really still want to see stuff from there, use an RSS feed (only for the subreddits you want to see).

To be blunt Reddit is full of garbage, especially since the take downs of 3rd-party-apps and the IPO.

Most of the things you’ll see on there are:

• Drama
• Uneducated opinions
• Circlejerk (for karma farming)
• Bots
• People ragebaiting each other
• Mods using their power to be some kind of dictator
