Adobe CC. They’ve added new features recently to justify a subscription, but it’s still not that good of a pitch. Some editors will have offline PCs so that their software doesn’t get fucked up by anything (SUPER common in music), so having a subscription model works against professional users of their software.

Yeah, OP of this thread (me) actually has schizophrenia. Being a right wing shithead isn’t the same as being schizophrenic. Schizo is just the new way people have of calling people “autistic” like people did a decade ago.

The prebuilt binaries are down :/

Probably. It’s just odd to me that all the ones I use/used a lot have pretty much zero PC games. Torrentleach isn’t really a gaming tracker, still just odd that console piracy has grown so much in the past few years.

That makes a lot of sense. I thought it was really odd that there were 50+ pages for Switch games but only like 3 for PC games. Reason would say that if you’re buying a $2000 PC, you’re less likely to have a desire to not pay for games. Even I’ve moved away from PCs and switched to Android emulation because of price.

I’d definitely be more likely to buy a Switch or PS4 than a new PC right now. And I’d probably be pirating on them

Recently became an unexpected foster parent. I have my old account, don’t have the money to buy a 2nd copy right now.

Usenet is pretty much the only place where you can find truly everything. Many of the original seasons and episodes are lost media. So you can’t actually get everything without a private tracker or Usenet

Yeah but we’re talking 2.5 inch drives, and we’re talking about less than a terabyte of storage. There is no good reason to pick a physical drive HDD over an SSD when they’re practically the same price at that storage level. SSDs are simply safer to move, there are no moving parts, dropping an SSD isn’t that concerning, dropping an HDD can easily kill it. I mean think of this this way. There IS a physical reader that goes across the entire disk. That doesn’t exist in an SSD. It’s hard to do, but you can realistically take a hard drive and just SHAKE it to death with your hand, make the reader fall out of place. While shaking a solid state is more like just shaking a giant flash drive.

If you want a 2.5" form factor and plan on moving it in any sort of way, SSD is the way to go.

Pretty sure it’s only Empress. On another note, I would not believe the Empress story if I hadn’t been around long enough to actually watch everything play out in real time.

Windows Defender is fine. The only anti-virus good enough at what it does to be worth buying instead of just using WD is Emisisoft, and that has its own set of issues.

BDSP are 1:1 Unity remakes of diamond and pearl, for better or worse. Platinum just had some small quality of life upgrades and both the legendaries.

Also, BDSP aren’t made by Pokemon Company, I enjoyed the games but artistically it’s just not Pokemon. If you told me BDSP was a fan game, I’d believe you. It’s cool to see a 3d chibi take of Pokemon but I love the art direction of the DS games far more.

I’d play Pokemon Platinum. Being able to still hack the events like Darkrai or Shamin (one of my favorite Pokemon events ever) is a huge benefit for the older games.

I’d say get ultra unless you care about deep Pokemon lore. The gameplay in the ultra games is just objectively better. Small QOL stuff like Emerald vs RS, but it’s still just simply better in some ways. However ultra changes the stories of the games for the worst, like it just doesn’t make sense at all.

I’ve consistently heard that the gameplay fixes of Ultra make the game objectively better, however they make some weird ass story changes that ruin the story of a very dialogue heavy game.

I’d label them legends in the sense that they’re probably one of the game studios I know by name the best even though that’s all they have to show for it. Postal 2 for as bugged and edgy as it is, is an extraordinarily famous game.

Why tho? It’s good information.
