.world is basically just the losers who got upset that it was too difficult to be a reddit mod since they didn’t have enough power

I extremely rarely pirate games and software. It’s just far too easy an attack vector for malware. The games I want to play are usually worth buying regardless, and free software is good enough for my needs. It isn’t a flat out refusal, I’ve definitely pirated these things, but it’s in niche situations where I need to see something specific, and I always check run it under a vm

Tbf, I think I’ve been transferring the exact same installation machine to machine for almost that long

It’s not incompatible with the like 4 ds games I bother to emulate instead of run on 3ds, and that’s what matters to me

Desmume is better because I already have it installed and know exactly how it works. Ymmv

but maybe citri are too obvious, maybe we should think out of the box… like melons!

Sorry, but I’m an emulated fruit purist, and melonDS is never taking over my crusty desmume installation

I’m sorry but I refuse to switch to an emulator that is not named after a citrus.

My guy, you’re getting mixed results because it really doesn’t matter. If you’re unsure how to do things, you can literally just address the envelope, and go to the post office service counter to figure out how much postage you need.

Don’t pirate my achievements bro

It’s such an unfathomably bad idea to pirate things on company servers

Well, YouTube’s music quality is basically trash but if you are happy with it don’t look for alternatives because you won’t find them.

Yeah, and there’s also no contest in terms of library

I don’t use Spotify because it has an abysmal catalog compared to something like YouTube

similar amount of content

Like, a similarly low amount of content?

and wouldn’t be surprised if it requires even physical media to authenticate

Owner of multiple switches, from my experience, you can crack open the box, not connect it to shit, and pop in a game cartridge. Hell, you can even update the system and games without an internet connection so long as you have a switch that’s gotten those updates already.

I don’t remember the buttons to hold, but when you boot a ds game on 3ds, and hold the right buttons, it boots pixel-perfect on a smaller segment of the 3ds screen such that it’s the same exact resolution as a ds screen

The big issue is that the console companies are generally more active in targeting people on more active consoles, and are incredibly strict if you’re caught cheating. Just being connected to psn on a hacked ps3 runs you a very real risk of getting an account ban. I can only imagine they’re far more active in banning ps4/ps5 users who are running hacked firmware. And Idk if there’s been any major hacks on the Xbox side of things.

As a side note, if you want to see a cluster fuck of every hack and cheat imaginable, hit up the original splatoon servers on Wii u. It’s honestly completely insane how much people have broken it

From my experience, it largely depends on how online multi-player is handled. Things that require game-specific accounts or have drm tied to an account like steam, it won’t work. But a lot of stuff on console works fine since it’s presumed that the anti-piracy has already happened. I play plenty of pirated games online on 3ds, Wii u, and psvita

Theoretically (assuming it’s an android) you could use an old phone. I know both mullvad and Proton have vpn clients for Android, and libretorrent works well. And you could plug in an external USB drive for more storage. And then use something like a Chromecast to send things to your tv

without having to connect a cable from my computer to my TV

Honestly, just buy a Chromecast or something. Way less effort

Download a user-friendly torrent client (e.g., qBittorrent, uTorrent).

Isn’t uTorrent, like, malware or something?

Fair point, but unless you’re just interested in seeing something do poorly, leaks can absolutely fuck over somethings chances of success, often with no particular benefit.

Kemono seems to be the best general option. But, like all the options, it relies on a user who pays for the patreon uploading content. It’s also limited in that it just scrapes patreon posts, and doesn’t get things sent out via dm, which is becoming more popular. Your next best option would be the usual suite of image boorus. But those tend to have their own issues, since they aren’t built around scraping bots.

Is there something specific you were looking for? There’s always the chance someone here just already found it and could help out

If it works on your end, no reason to stop using it. The reason they suggested to move elsewhere is because, at the time, there was no indication that j2k had any plans for continued development. Might’ve changed since they put that out, but that’s what they sajd

So entirely irrelevant in the US?

I’m mainly annoyed they didn’t even try the absolute bare minimum of “just say no”, and treated everything kakao did as 100% honest and legitimate. Like, it fucking obviously isn’t. At least don’t publicly call this shit a good faith claim.

They didn’t even fucking try the bare minimum of just refusing to comply. Besides, it’s such a comically baseless case by some fucking worthless gook company. It doesn’t cost tens of thousands of dollars to tell them to shove it up their ass, at the bare minimum.

I mean the eff can only do so much to defend people who didn’t even fucking bother in the slightest to defend themselves and just rolled over at every turn

While many will be understandably angry or disappointed in our lack of backbone or perceived selfishness

At least they’re aware of their deficiencies

For the purposes of practicality, you’re probably safe so long as you don’t have to log in using credentials tied to you. They simply aren’t going to care enough, and will likely just put up some network restrictions if they get a letter from the isp.

But for the purposes of security, yes, you can absolutely be identified. For one, if your device Mac address isn’t spoofed, they can just see what device you used, and skim security footage for someone using it in the right time frame. Even without that, they can just see who was there for the amount of time you were connected, and find you that way. Especially if you do anything that would identify yourself while there (like use a library card).

Let’s be real, that’s the last place anyone would look for a torrent client

Kakao has nothing even resembling a legitimate claim. They aren’t even fucking American. Tachi should just tell them to shove it straight up their gook asses

But don’t worry, the tachi devs genuinely consider the mass bs dmca spam from kakao to be entirely good faith and legitimate

The devs just completely folded to some bogus copyright claims against their extentions

Sounds like a (somehow even more) shit isp. I just tapped the “bring my own” when I signed up, and bought myself a modem/router combo at best buy.

You can’t get your own router?

Updates can both add real value, but not be worth piecemealing out as separate purchases.

Lmao you seem to hold far more hatred than I

Nobody who genuinely talks about “hate speech” has an opinion worth listening to

Yes*

It largely depends on what the online functionality does. Pirating software that heavily relies on external servers as opposed to your machine isn’t really feasible. But if it’s just a phone home to verify, someone has probably cracked it

Vimms lair is a good choice, though i don’t think they’re in .chd by default, rather just .iso, or a compressed .iso format. It’s highly consistent in naming conventions, and has a pretty damn near full collection. Main downside is limited downloading speed, and no concurrent downloads, but if you’re just looking to download games you’re interested in and not every ps1 game, it should be fine
