Yeah, torrent with a VPN will work too. Nice thing about a Debrid service is that most of the content is cached on their servers already though, so the movies and shows start streaming almost immediately and with very little buffering. I think it’s a superior experience worth a few bucks a month personally! Hell, a lot of these streaming companies have raised their prices by more than a few bucks recently or charge more to remove ads or play in 4K, and that’s just to watch their limited content!

I wouldn't say "pretended." More like tried to convince myself I could because I knew logically they would be good for me... but when the spark isn't there, the spark isn't there. So when the first thing you want to do after sex with them is go home and take a shower you know the spark isn't there.

Yup. You pay for Real-Debrid (it's cheap, a few bucks a month), download Stremio, and put your Real-Debrid key into plugin sites that install into the app. You can then login to Stremio on any device and you don't have to reinstall the plugins or anything like that. Don't share or watch from multiple IPs at once though. Real-Debrid will ban you.

The best add-ons are Torrentio, Comet, and Mediafusion in my opinion. You'll want to install multiple so if one of them is down you have a backup.

I respect that. I like entertainment though, so I just steal it with Real-Debrid and Stremio. And hey, look, all of the content is in one easy to use app with all of the same basic features and no ads... so it's actually a better experience.

“Block us then. We’re not paying your fines and you’ll never arrest us as we’ll never step foot in your country. Get fucked.” That’s about the response I’d have I think… attached with a photo of tubgirl or something for the classic lawls.

So fire all of the late show hosts and give young people yet another reason to not engage in that dying medium. Fat old pedophile rapist will still be mocked around the world.

He’s gonna be dead soon too. He looks like shit. Just you wait for those celebrations.

Hah, right? You don’t appease your former boss. They lose 100% of control over you once you stop working for them.

Yeah, with quite a plot twist. The entire time I was practically yelling at the tv “who cares, then let’s them release the video of you jerking off and own it. We all do it!” Then at the end, “… oh.”

Dear God, there's people who would legitimately rather have a big disgusting worm in their gut than diet and move around a bit?

As long as Nintendo themselves never use them, I don’t entirely hate the idea since I believe it only exists to make third party publishers happy. Game cards are obviously much more expensive than discs to produce and it turns out that publishers don’t like significant physical media production costs eating into their profits. This is a lesson Nintendo learned the hard way from the N64 that they don’t want to repeat. Because of the nature of the Switch platform, there isn’t really a good solution. They couldn’t use cheap discs without going with some weird mini disc format and then that would cause bigger issues with access speed, battery life, durability, etc. The alternative is having the consumer download the game directly and these game card things are a way for publishers to also still have some sort of retail presence.

Personally I would never buy one of these code cards. I’d rather just have the game linked to my account which I’m honestly quite comfortable with 20 years into having a Steam account and this being the norm on all kinds of devices these days.

But they aren’t going after used games sales. They are going after piracy. This used card just so happened to be the exact one ripped and uploaded to a piracy site, so on Nintendo’s end it looks like they are using a Mig flash device to play a game backup. So it’s not an attack on anybody for buying used games but a very unlikely and unfortunate incident that was solved with a phone call. If grandma happens to pick up a copy of a previously ripped game at a garage sale (amusing to imagine the guy who ripped it holding one of those in the year 2025 but possible) then a polite phone call explaining that situation would have also likely worked because I’m sure Nintendo wants to avoid the shit show of actually permanently banning innocent people.

Again, I’d prefer that Nintendo just relax on all of this but I’m not going to get all mad about it. Even the user who it happened to is less angry than some of you and said customer service was very fast and friendly about helping him. It will never ever happen to anyone in this thread or anybody that we know and even if it did it will be sorted out. I’ll save my outrage for things that are actually outrageous.

So I also don’t like any of this and wish Nintendo would loosen the fuck up in general as they take in record profits… but I stand firm on the fact that this isn’t as nefarious as some are making it out to be, like they are specifically going after used games sales. It also won’t affect pretty much any of us ever and therefore isn’t worth getting my feathers ruffled over any. If it happens it can be sorted out relatively quickly.
