This is not scary at all. You must trust any code that you execute on your computer. Pirated games, if they were malicious, can already get whatever they want done on your computer, because you are giving it arbitrary code execution privileges. Fortunately there is a vast network of p2p and scene crackers that are trustworthy, who you can trust (even more so than some publishers) to respect your user rights.

The level of access hardly matters. If you were a malware developer masquerading as a legitimate cracker, there are many privilege escalation tricks you can use once you have any amount of access to a machine. And even if you didn’t, the lowest level of access is typically enough to do financial crimes (stealing browser cookies to access your bank account, or ransoming your documents folder).

Piracy gives you a better user experience than paying for games. Take steam - you have to run a proprietary application to launch your games, which can take these games away at any time, can modify your games to remove copyrighted music, leave them in unplayable states etc. Not to mention the performance impact from DRM, and the constant badgering about accounts/updates/logins/restrictions.

With piracy, everything is seamless. Go to your trusty repacker, click download, click install, and now you have a game that you cna enjoy for the rest of your life.

There is no universal law that makes it so that DRM will always be broken. In many cases they are, but in many other cases they aren’t. At the end of the day, they could offload so much of the processing to remote servers that you would basically be playing a cloud game, and that would be the end of bypassing and removal of DRM because they would control the hardware.

And that isn’t necessarily bad for America. Oil companies are going to make tonnes of money. Only the working class that has been forced to rely on cars will suffer from higher oil prices. So long as the money isn’t hurt, America isn’t hurt. Who cares about the pesky peasants?

The US keeps shooting itself in the foot. Every shot is higher up than the next.

Iran blocking the strait won’t have any major consequences for America in the long term though. For one, Iran is letting oil through to other countries, meaning oil prices aren’t as high as they could be. The US also has its own supply of oil. The cucks of the empire though, well they have been properly cucked and I couldn’t be happier

I suppose if it’s your brother’s then you wouldn’t want to sell it and get a PC instead for the sentimental value of it.

You can set up your PC for couch play just as easily. If you’re invested in a wireless mouse/keyboard instead of a PS5, or spent 5 minutes setting up steam big picture, you could have saved a whole lot of money.

You could also pirate your games on PC (which you should be doing). You could have saved thousands if only you weren’t brainwashed by console manufacturer propaganda

“Next generation” “Tim Walz”

Consoles are more expensive than PCs for equivalent performance for most of a console generation.

When a new console generation starts, they are price competitive over PCs for a year or two, but even then, they are not price competitive in terms of the total cost of ownership. Games on PC are significantly cheaper. Online services are free as opposed to a subscription on consoles. And I haven’t even touched piracy, which you can’t do on consoles.

They are arguably cheaper

No they are not. The total cost of ownership is much higher with consoles. That is even if you don’t pirate. Not to mention that the buying price for consoles is only competitive in the first few years of a generation.

they’re plug and play,

No, you wait around inserting a disk, and for a 100GB update to finish.

no reinstalling windows/Linux Most gamers never reinstall their OS.

You don’t have to fiddle with the settings,

This is a bad thing. On PC, I can decide to play it how I want. Do I want to trave in fidelity for performance? I can. Do I want to do the reverse? I can.

check fps

They don’t let you check fps on consoles because of you knew how pathetic it was, and if you ever had any experience playing on PC, you’d know how much of a rip off consoles are and switch over.

it’s poorly optimized for your specific piece of hardware

This is never the case. A wide range of hardware work with PC games. PC parts are interoperable by design. The two main GPU vendors - AMD and Intel, optimize the hell out of their drivers. If a game is optimized, it is automatically optimized for all hardware.

Russia attached a European country

Mf Russia is a European country. You ask if you can trust Russia and yet most countries in the world wouldn’t trust EU and NATO for shit.

She should be executed on sight. Killed in cold blood. Animals like this shouldn’t be allowed to live.

You probably also heard on the news that there was a “fire” on an aircraft carrier deployed to Hormuz caused by the laundry detergent. And they had to pull back because of the fire.

At the same time there was a simultaneous incident on the deck as well where a member of the crew slipped and fell and created a large crater.

It just happened to be a very unfortunate circumstance that they were close to Iran when these things simultaneously happened all of a sudden, together at the same time.

The church has got a long history but in the current century, they’ve almost always advocated for peace whenever there has been a geopolitical conflict.

Fuck Israel fuck them bastards fucking removed disgusting freaks of nature. Death would be mercy. Cut parts of them off pound by pound. Gross excuses of humans. 🤢🤢

No wonder the child killers love the child rapists very much

A heck of a way indeed. Soliders working “remotely” lol. Work from home for soldiers.

Tanning is incredibly dangerous. It is literally burning your skin, destroying DNA in the process. It can give you skin cancer and ages your skin faster. It’s a bad idea. I don’t know how “skin-whitening”, which is the first I’m hearing of this, works, but I wouldn’t imagine it has no health disadvantages.

I have no idea why anyone would want to change the color of their skin. It is literally a completely meaningless property. It makes no difference whatsoever. The idea that one might want to is uncomfortable to me.

Makes about as much sense as AmeriKKKA banning hamburgers.

I did not join Lemmygrad to be linked to Occupied Korean propaganda media. What the fuck is this.
