remember this video game is Open World. That means we must open out wallets and pay all the money in the world.

Honestly surprised this hasn’t be used by a game studio yet.

Make sure you use a VPN! The only time I ever got a letter from my ISP to stop pirating was when I torrented a ROM of a Nintendo game.

“Ugh veggies again! I want pizza!”

“You should be thankful you have veggies. There are starving children in Africa.”

“Whataboutism!”

Explain?

I was attempting to compare and contrast. How should I do that without “whataboutism”?

he is not a net positive on society, just like nazis.

Clearly being narcissistic is not as bad as spreading hate and bigotry. Calling this guy all kinds of names and saying he’s the same as a Nazi because he thinks he’s the smartest guy ever is overkill.

His views aren’t offensive, they’re just different. It’s like a guy saying pineapple on pizza is terrible and anyone who likes it has terrible taste and then deletes and bans people who say they like pineapple on pizza. It’s weird behaviour but to say they’re not a net positive to society is crazy.

This guy runs an animal rescue shelter and pays for his (American) chat moderators’ healthcare. He helps people with no experience get into game development.

One of the top comments in this thread is:

I couldn’t give less of a shit what this dumbfuck thinks about anything.

Why all the hate? Because he argues about World of Warcraft strategies? There are definitely people who are negatives to society, but I do not think Pirate Software is one of those people. I do think he has an attitude, but that doesn’t make him the equivalent of a Nazi.

Please explain?

He’s a pretentious asshole, who thinks he is better than everyone else.

Right, but there are people who are openly Nazis. I get that he’s got an ego but he doesn’t seem to have hateful views. I just find the amount of hate he attracts just for being a know it all seems way out of proportion.

Just look at the hate filled messages in this thread. He shares his opinion on video games but people act like he spreads bigotry and prejudice. He doesn’t want to sign a petition to regulate video games. He’s allowed to have an opinion.

Pirate Software has a lot of haters because he acts like a know it all and gets into arguments with people. I’m sensing people are just downvoting this video because it’s him and don’t care that in it he says pricing games at $80+ is pure greed from corporate studios that will likely tank the games industry.

The porn. Right now the porn subreddits are mostly advertising for subscription sites like OnlyFans, Fansly, Patreon, etc. Reddit definitely thinks they can stop being used to advertise subscription sites and just become one themselves.

Ah, the Palworld effect. As a small indie dev makes more money, the probability a large company sues for IP infringment approaches 100%.

People buy stuff for the image. Apple has cultivated a certain image with its branding that people are attracted to and buy their products because of it. I’ve heard it described as “People don’t buy what you make but what you are.” The image and brand of the company is often why people buy from them. Apple produces products for cool hip people, not the stuffy old guys in suits! You’re a cool person, right?

Something being expensive is often part of the image. People like to pretend they’re rich and the more expensive all their stuff is the more they can project that image. It can also be self validation. Owning expensive products can someone feel better about their lives.

Welcome to any gaming community! There’s always a few miserable people who aren’t happy with anything.

Gracias!

Error messages are a common way for hackers to gain information about a system. Useless error messages are recommended for security.

If you enter your username as Robert’'); DROP TABLE Students;-- giving the error “Oops, something went wrong” is better than “NoSuchTable: ‘Students’ Table doesn’t exist in the database” because now the hacker knows you’re using a database that interprets SQL commands and inputs aren’t being sanitized.

Hacking programs like Burp Suite have functions that spam sites with all kinds of garbage data and uses error messages and delays in response times to highlight potential vulnerabilities.

I was a funeral director. I talked to a lot of people about death and I can’t recall a single old person who wasn’t alright with dying.

The way some have explained it to me was basically the novelty of life was gone. When you’re young, everything you do is new. You experience things for the first time daily. As you get older, new experiences are far and few in between. Every day becomes a copy of the day before. Weeks pass where it seems nothing has happened, but its only that nothing new has happened. Old people eventually just get bored. Combine that with chronic pain, being unable to do basic things on your own anymore, and all your friends dying before you, and the idea of not waking up tomorrow doesn’t seem that bad.

I’ve never heard of Nostr but Mastodon is a twitter clone and I don’t find that style of website suits discussion well since you subscribe to accounts rather than communities.
