I do! Many of my favorites are indie games, I'd say more than not. But I guess there's some things that you can't do without a massive budget or many many years in development, because many nintendo core franchises just aren't beat in quality in my opinion, at least for some entries.
Yeah I'm stuck on the "expensive" part still. I built one, but very quickly ran out of storage. I'm looking to buy some 18tb drives but holy hell they are expensive.
I'm going to try very hard not to be, but I'm definitely the type of person you're describing. That Nintendo direct had me drooling at the new Mario kart and donkey Kong games, and nothing hits like a zelda. Super mario wonder was a delight.
I only hope I can emulate this system relatively quickly. I am not a man of strong willpower.
Wait aren't you in the foodporn community? Is this not the purpose, to post pictures of food that the OP finds delicious? Either you're very lost or you misinterpreted the "porn" part of the community name and wanted the mashed potatoes to take their pants off.
Surely you don't simply disagree that it's delicious, because you're blocking them. Even a downvote isn't appropriate for a well framed and high quality photo of food that you personally don't enjoy, but is enjoyed by many. In that case a user would simply not upvote. So that can't be it.
I 100% agree. However, this statement is a very large blanket statement. I see it repeated all over the place. It's great to pirate from greedy megacorps. I do it. It's great. But it's not a great statement to repeat ad nauseam because it doesn't apply to
small creators
literally anything that's not a "pay once license" (including leasing, renting, etc)
If this sentiment gets too popular it will also discourage people from paying for unrevokable copies of content like from GOG or directly from a creator (patreon, etc). It's more like "if buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't theft (sometimes)"
The people who argue against piracy of megacorporations' content will bring up these points every time because this phrase makes no sense from their perspective. It prevents actual discussion from taking place. It's not productive to our cause to use something so ambiguous and inflammatory as a catch phrase.
Yeah, I am just confused on the logic. Like what is the relation between us not owning it (which is bad) and piracy not being theft? I wholeheartedly agree that pirating things is okay if a license gets revoked, and it is 100% okay to pirate something you bought even if you still have the license and it hasn't been revoked. It's yours. You paid money for it. But from my understanding, this statement doesn't just cover people who bought it, but everyone, regardless of if they bought it.
I agree with the sentiment, but what exactly is the explanation for this? If you're allowed to lease or rent or purchase a license, isn't stealing that thing for free still theft?
Chill with the downvotes - I'm not disagreeing. I'm just trying to understand where the line is.
There's nothing perfect. I use Kagi which uses many other indexes including Google, but with a focus on "small web" results and no ads or mandatory AI nonsense.
...but it costs money.
Well worth it in my opinion. My results have been better than Google for me, and I've been using it for like a year now. Highly recommend.
