    Oh, I meant IRL.
    The worst was when I got treated like I was stupid for not just assuming that someone with atypical facial features had some kind of mental disability.
    I mean, it was apparent that they did once I began talking to them, but like Hell am I just going to assume that based on someone’s looks.

    I haven’t interacted with Christians around here.








  • Depends, really. Some just feel squicky about breaking copyright law.

    NGL I kinda feel a bit obligated to be extra careful out of deference to a relative’s relationship to a lawyer, haha.

    But in general, I try to conduct myself in the model of the ideal world I want to live in, if I can.

    In the best world, there’s no piracy because everyone gets their fair dues, and users get fair access to their purchased goods. But I also ain’t judging others who do pirate or do other stuff with their own things, because we definitely don’t live in that world, and corporations do not deserve to have a monopoly on access to media like that.

    And, really, its just not right. As a fan of classic, old games, I can’t respect not technically pirating entirely, when it means the loss of amazing games. Like the amazing 3DS Virtual Boy emulation projects! Or just soooo many classic, otherwise lost adventure games.

    I’m probably not going to wind up playing those, but the world is worse if not for people technically pirating.





  • I actually paid someone to rip my WiiU BotW for me years ago because I like being legit legit, but most people either feel like its morally 100% fine to download a copy if they bought one, or don’t even know that its technically not legal.

    Ripping your own ROMs tends to put your system at risk of bricking or being banned from online play. Its just not a desirable thing to do, so fans who care enough about the game to see it run at q higher quality or with lovingly crafted mods are very likely the ones who already purchased the game and are downloading a new copy.

    I would love to see Yuzu run a poll to see how many people already purchased the game. Even if its anecdotal, maybe it would prove a point that people are crying out for more content and will go to illegal means to get it
