I just watch and delete because I don’t ever really watch anything more than a few times anyways.

The only kind of stuff I’ve ever made backups of is dev software and old keygens because . well - that kind of stuff disappears too easily with the new&shiny fad.

Seeing only (edit…) two to three // results per scroll is way too cramped.

I miss the early 2000s when you’d get like 15 or 20 search results a page on a 1280 monitor because hosts weren’t BLIND.

There’s also funfactor in having physical media and limited choice. A phone with an entire collection on it is just. . plain. standard. even boring. And the handicapped phone UI ruins the rest of the smartphone experience if you wanna do other things with the phone other than listen to music.

Modern CD players also read newer formats, unlike the old-stock CD players off of ebay from 30+ years ago that only read raw CDA tracks

Of course there’s a fee. Do they not realize how expensive it is to fileserve useless videogame data, provide versioning for that, updater systems, workshop storage, curation, promotion etc etc. . . without help?

Is there not a fee for your competing storefront? How would it fund its daily operations?

I wish they actually looked like the picture though… Every single type I’ve tried are just standard square popsicles. No cool asterisk shape :(

I use Krita because I do hand drawn animation so I haven’t pirated photoshop since like . . 2008. Also use a tiltpen with it to paint tangent normals for bump mapping sometimes. Once I obtained good drawing tablets and stopped painting with my mouse I stopped caring about photoshop and its features

Leaking content before debut? Evil and it hurts the owners. Very much stealing.

Releasing torrent too close to original release date? Kinda mean and can really hurt initial sales.

I’d rather people be more mindful and considerate of these two things. After that time has passed though… Nothing else comes to mind. :)

Just wanted to point out that having some standards is good if you want piracy to be respected

Constantly migrating your data from one storage to the next seems like the only real way.

Hardware solutions personally. . raise too many doubts. Like those “100 year discs”, that just screams untested/untestable.

oooh nostalgic.

What I like about gamecopyworld: it’s been around forever!

What I hate: no standards. Sometimes you’ll find cracks for a win98 game or an XP game and they’ll require sys/kernel functionality that didn’t exist until windows 7. I mean… what if I wanna play period correct? And NOT on windows 7 or newer?

I really hate when plastic tupperwares ooze grease even if you wash them ten times . If baking soda doesn’t work, there is an even stronger option: washing soda.

I use baking soda to wash holiday glassware that spends all year on top of the nasty cabinets above the stove and it kills the sticky mildew feel almost instantly. But when push comes to shove, washing soda is even more insane than baking soda.

Just be sure to rinse thoroughly so it doesn’t end up in the food
