I remember phpBB having a popular emoticon addon, or maybe arcade addon, that ended up compromising a few of the message boards I frequented in the early 00s. Times never change.

Ugh...

Is being unable to change your email address part of the settings you're speaking of? I get "This server hasn't correctly set up email." when I try to change the email address in my profile settings.

I'm probably just a loon and making a mountain out of a molehill, but this type of automation bothers me. Whoever sets it up can easily script with bias to filter out content they personally disagree with. I understand humans do this naturally without botting, but making it automated changes the speed and reach to a degree I'm not comfortable engaging with.

Real debrid is not necessary unless you're downloading from hosts that require a paid account for unlimited access. You can download from archive.org and other HTTP sites without worry. You don't need tor, a vpn, real debrid, a seed box, or any other paid service people are suggesting here. Just stay away from torrents and you'll be fine.

I'm unfortunately unfamiliar with DnD tools, but there are a couple users on Soulseek who are sharing a variety of DnD tools. It looks like they all came from the same torrent (I don't have the torrent, sorry :< ).

Does anything here look useful? - https://i.ibb.co/Y30rv2y/resources.png

My first experience with NSFW gaming was the original Leisure Suit Larry. When I was 10ish my friend showed it to me on her dads computer and I thought it was disgustingly funny! I like to think it helped me become more appreciative of raunchy humor and NSFW video games.

I'm not sure how your area is, but CRT TV's are starting to gain popularity for retro gaming and they're all over the sides of the roads in some places, especially right after Christmas. They generally just need a fuse replaced to work, which is a really simple and cheap issue to solve. I dunno the logistics of shipping those monsters, but if you sell locally it probably wouldn't be an issue.

It's likely whenever things break, which is relatively frequent... Here's to hoping the 0.18 update brings a little more stability!

This is pretty awesome! It has my all time favorite, 4kb summer. I used to leave that installer open forever just to listen to it + the other two tracks.

Alan Awake. I finally got around to playing it recently and something about the camera movement/placement turned me off. Dead Space has the same issue for me.

Sorta related, I bought Clive Barkers Undying twice (at different stores) without realizing it. One of the copies I left in the bag and stuck it in a closet for whatever reason. It was an awesome game though. I've played through it several times now.

Speaking of GB emulators and Pokémon, PokeMMO is a free cross-platform MMORPG that utilizes several Pokémon ROMs and emulation. It's really awesome to explore the games with loads of other people.

I made a file request community

If you're looking for something a little spicy in the visual novels/adventure/multi-choices/text based/indie/rpg genres, a great NSFW resource is F95zone. They have all of those genres and more.

I'm pretty sure it's a lemmy issue. I was in a thread that jumped from 2 to 250+ while I was replying. Refreshing the page brought it back to 2. This platform isn't the most stable or fleshed out yet.

1991, Arcade, The Simpsons. Because I miss that experience so much!

Really though, I'd pick the PS2 and God of War. It's easy enough on the controls, the theatrics and scale are still super impressive, and everyone feels awesome chopping up hoards of stuff.

What about you, OP?

I have downvotes visible on revanced for android.

Unfortunately not at the moment. I was using https://github.com/gorhill/uBO-Extra before it went defunct and I haven't replaced it.

Lol, well it's not like a lot of us aren't already using adblock detector blockers.

It will probably come down to using a third party program/script to watch videos.

Is a file request community allowed if it follows the instance guidelines?

Is it possible to customize a community to auto-lock threads once they're created, so no one can reply to the thread? Or disable the ability to reply to threads in some other way?

I dunno how close to toeing the line a request section would be, or how easy it would be to enforce the instance rules without disabling the ability to reply to threads.

Eh, it's probably not a crackdown. The life expectancy of most pirate sites isn't long, especially the rare sites like S2D that host all of the content on their own servers, rather than free third party servers like most sites. We're also in what's probably the best age of piracy from an accessibility standpoint. Sites are everywhere, so we're going to see a lot come and go for a variety of reasons.

I can only speculate here, but the idea of accepting money for any piracy related endeavor (good faith or not) makes my skin crawl as an old school pirate. Maybe the owner is the same way.

DDL sites and SoulSeek have kept me with up to date with every movie, tv show, and video game all without the use of a VPN. A VPN and torrenting are obviously the easiest choice, but you can get by just fine without it.

Aw man, that was one of my daily sites... No HLS, just right click the video and download. They were so up to date with everything!

:(

Same for me. Latest version of firefox, typical safety extensions enabled, worked flawlessly last night when I registered. I've heard a lot of sites are experiencing this, though. I wonder if it's just the hosts or if it's the code struggling to handle so many requests. Hopefully it isn't the latter.
