I’m not 'murican, will that video make me an international terrorist?

using a Sharpie to make the inner tracks of the disc unreadable as they contained the copy protection.

That’s something I’m too brazilian to understand. It was harder to get an unmodded playstation than a modded one that could run any burned CD

Anyone remembers cracks?

They’re still going strong, even circumventing the online shit for some games. Denuvo and every company that uses it can die in a fire, tho.

I had so many burned CDs with games and music… This was back when ADSL internet was the hot new thing with incredible download speeds of 30kb/s

Tell me this is real, it sounds too good to be real

I don’t hate it, some of the images generated look awesome. But that’s just an image that “literally anyone could do”. It’s the equivalent of instant lamen or cup noodles.

Afaik, it can’t come up with new styles and most of the stuff pumped out just wholesale copies existing stuff: the majority either looks like a Disney 3d animation, or fancy anime-esque render. Some try to look like realistic oil paintings, those look cool and pretty, but nothing worth making a poster.

I think the only people, besides tech bros, who are happy with this are those that hate giving art any value.

Somewhat ironically, we can see virtual libertarianism/Anarcho capitalism evolve by following EVE online: Some of the larger player corporations became de facto states

Another thing to keep in mind is that libertarianism wants everyone to focus on the individual, when society itself is an organized group that looks toward the collective (ideally, anyway)

Without guardrails or penalties for being caught, people that abuse the system will hoard wealth and power until they can call the shots

It’s not the boomers that are hoarding wealth and not spending it, it’s the top 0.1%

Yeah, what if only, I dunno, less than 10% of the world population is actually earning enough to not have to worry about cost of living, owning a home and caring for their families? No biggie!!

I guess, but that wasn’t the kind of labor that made you wish for death, either yours or somebody else’s

Pregerante

No, the way they got people to work was by enslaving them; then by “it’s not slavery, you just can’t leave without my permission” serfdom; then by forcing rural families to migrate to cities because mr landowner bought everything (or killed the owners), so that the factories could pay poverty level salaries; then, when workers got too riled up, by outsourcing work to wherever people were desperate enough to accept 10% of the pay.

Brazil is currently fighting to increase the income tax of the top earners. I don’t expect it to pass because congress and senate are, by and large, protector of the interests of the wealthy.

No more internet gaming, all multiplayer gaming must be local, so that you can actually get your dumb ass up from the chair and punch (or be punched) by others, like our ancestors intended.

You can speak to every animal. Having them understand or talk back is a different matter

To me, some NSFW forums, like F95 and LoversLabs

Just gimme the damn wood pencil, #2

I’m pretty sure USA being a fucking evil empire since, at least, 1898, has played a significant hand in making its population stupid bricks, at least when it comes to foreign matters and, often, domestic ones that relate to welfare.

Foreigner here, what’s the joke there?
