Minecraft

Only place I buy games from anymore

google and dead projects

no because the last time I used netflix was five years ago. I never even thought to pay for any of the other ones

the chapo chatters pulled me back in

and lawn equipment

I actually wish we would become very much like Reddit used to be back in the day

reddit back in the day had a huge jailbait sub

Hexbear has become a cesspool

lol

Gog, drm free, just works, and devs get more money.

On the other hand, death to valve and steam. The launcher itself is dogshit bloatware and I do not have a single recent memory of it being remotely pleasant to use. The download and verification speeds are absolutely awful compared to Gog and, in my limited experience, Epic. valve was definitely a pioneer in microtransactions with tf2 and csgo. Locking mods to their storefront is fucking disgusting, as was their attempt to monetize them. There is also negative quality control when it comes to what’s allowed to be sold on steam.

If it’s not on Gog then I’ll just pirate it.

Thankfully I haven’t encountered that in forever but I always get multi-part 5gb download thats capped to 1mb/s and takes 5 hours

downloading a repack made by some Russian somewhere in 15 parts from 5 different filesharing websites

Never had this problem with fitgirl but rinru users unfortunately end up using some awful rate limited site usually. It’s always a pleasant surprise when it’s a drive link tho

The latter option does leave you with the game in your Steam account though

This is why I use them. Someone hosted a zomboid server on here but it’s set to steam only, I don’t want to give any money to valve if possible and I’m definitely not buying the game a third time at full price so I just used a gift card and got it for ~$7.

Honestly if I end up in a similar situation I’ll probably just do it again

lol

The country that leads the world in mass shootings shouldn’t be labeling other countries as “ticking time bombs.”
