A thief will unfortunately do whatever mental gymnastics they need to feel good about it. “Uncle? Their uncle must be rich, he can buy another one. I never had a rich uncle, I deserve this more than they do.”

This. Recently I took a deep dive into the controversies from both sides. It is a little difficult to piece things together because most of Linus’ more detailed replies came from old WAN shows, but I can say with certainty now that it’s incompetence and miscommunication.

If anything, my opinion on Linus stayed about the same and my opinion on GN went way down. After a certain point I couldn’t help but feel that either Steve just really hates Linus, or he was trying to drag his reputation enough for GN to snatch a larger piece of the tech YouTube pie. Neither are a good look.

This is my biggest issue with One Piece, or any form of extended media like this. It’s not that I won’t like it, but how much unique media am I giving up to watch it? It’s the same vibe I got when I was really into an MMO. Love the game, one of my favorites of all time even. But I’m much happier broadening my horizons and playing a unique experience every month or so opposed to the same game for a year straight.

Nine years!? Back up NOW before it’s too late. I’m scared for you.

This is how I’ve used them. Or I’ll just put – as a place holder and use the replace all function to change them when I finish. Luckily I’ve never had anyone accuse me of AI writing but it’s probably a matter of time. I think the use of em-dash as the “telltale sign” of AI is silly. They’re just more often used in research, documentation, and academics which the AI is heavily trained on. Obviously when average reddit Joe uses them frequently it’s a bit of a red flag, so the context of the writing is key here. The AI uses it because it is widely and commonly used by humans.

Yeah in this context the port forwarding allows you to discover more clients in the P2P network. It’s by no means a requirement. Personally, I use MullvadVPN which does not support port forwarding, but I watch a lot of niche content that will have maybe one seeder at a time. I often wonder if there are peers I’m missing without port forwarding.

Also AFAIK Proton only blocks torrenting on their free plan servers, so the paid option may still be a good avenue. I think blocking torrenting on free servers is an industry standard for VPN. Is your priority affordability? It took me a long time to come around to paying for a VPN, as I hate subscription based models, but it has been well worth it.

Have you heard of or considered seedboxes? If your only use of the VPN would be for torrenting, these might be a better choice for you.

This is the exact comment I would expect from SatansMaggotyCumFart, thank you for your contribution.

It lacks port forwarding so it’s not the fastest when it comes to torrenting. You’ll want one hosted outside of the 14 eyes, with port forwarding, hosted in a country that is not compliant with DMCA, and a strict no-log policy.

ExpressVPN or ProtonVPN paid plans will likely be best for you. But this is from memory so do your research on each to make sure the criteria hold true.

Thank you!

Who are these people? This one is going over my head.

I also highly doubt their statement that more users were cheating under Linux than not. I’d like to see how they came to this conclusion. And if it’s so easy to identify who was cheating, why not just ban them if it’s .01 players? That’s like 7 or 8 bans. An insignificant amount of effort would go a long way here.

Remember when Apex banned Linux during a cheating low, and then cheaters started trending upward AFTER the ban? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

And people are correct to do so.

It has been a while since I played one but I remember really enjoying Pokémon Unbound with some caveats. Those being, they decided to change typings for the hack. So my Charizard and Ampharous were Dragon type and it messed up my team dynamic pretty bad. Other than that no complaints at all. I think that one had QoL for HMs too where you can use any HM without teaching it so long as a Pokémon in your party can use it. However, I could be confusing it with another one, again, it has been a while.

There’s also another where you are a member of team rocket, and its really cool. It follows the story of Red/Blue/Green with a twist of what team Rockets intentions truly are and, by the end, it will have you rooting for team rocket pretty hardcore. There are a few rocket hacks out there but I think this is the most popular one.

Poor baby. Just this week I saw someone hit a cat in front of me and keep driving. I pulled over and tried to save it but he passed away before I got him in the car after he cut up my leg in confusion. No microchip so I gave him a proper, respectful burial. Then I came inside and let all my babies know how important they are to me.

And it still looks the way it does. I love me some Pokémon but at this point ROM hacks are a far more enjoyable, reliable, and respectful experience than the new Pokémon releases.

Knowing this is a game from the largest grossing multimedia franchise of all time, we could play ignorant and act like the bare minimum is okay. Or, we can open our eyes and realize they’re doing the least they can knowing the consumers are still going to buy it. Unfortunately, the market has decided on the blue pill.

Still rocking a 2000 civic. I’ve seen this meme for years and she still has a nicer car than I do.
