I feel like lately I’ve been doing more piracy than actually using the content I’ve been pirating. Curating a library has been so enjoyable lately, I’m not the only one right?

    Beyond “trying out” games. I like the idea of saving things or quickly grabbing things that might not be available for long. For example on a hard drive somewhere I have that early test build of Skate that was leaked like a year or two ago.

    I’ll also say that as I get older I really appreciate how many more plug-and-play resources there are now. I can get a whole game package that self installs and I’m good to go. No more having to get an ISO from some sketchy Russian site or rolling the dice on TPB and then mounting it to virtual disk. With the power of adblockers/tracking blockers I can stream basically anything from any service with a few clicks from the megathread.

      Haha but there was nothing like learning the Russian words for accept / next vs. cancel so you could operate the install wizards.

      With the awesome chiptune music going in the background too.
