I’ve pirated games because I was too lazy to put the disc in…

A very large number of people unfortunately

I’m in the exact situation you are. The *arr suite is a game changer.

For DX11 the old drivers did have MAJOR problems. Maybe at 750% they’re almost good.

Yeah that’s correct unfortunately

I heard that was pretty good so myself and a friend just bought it yesterday. At that price even a couple of hours of fun will be worth it.

rofl seriously? Not only will they charge for the installs, but they won’t even use the actual number of installs - they’ll guess? This is the most hilariously stupid business model I’ve ever heard of

People have been saying this since the first updates rolled out days after launch. Performance is never going to improve, at this point.

BG2 > TotK, but it has nothing to do with hardware

Sure, but the difference is that VLC can’t execute code, and if you change the file extension to MP4 then a media player is going to try to open it.

So yeah it could contain a virus, but I think getting hit with that code is almost completely impossible.

Yep 4 was really good! Looking forward to 5

The system here uses infuse, it just connects to real debrid instead of your own network share

Your system is the one I use too. The major difference is, as you say, this outsources everything. I prefer to keep my own copies of my content, while this streams it and requires more fees to access the services.

I pushed through vanilla to get to Heavansward, because that’s where everyone said it was a truly astounding narrative experience. Got through it thinking… that’s all? Got maybe 1/3 into Stormblood and burned out. At this time I can’t recall a single plot point from any of it except for dragons trading their eyes around like Pokémon cards for magic power. I sometimes feel like getting back into it to see the hype for Endwalker, but I worry I’ll be just as unimpressed, and have to put massive time in just to find that out.

I just never got it - I’m a huge FF fan and have played and loved every single game multiple times… 14 just does not do anything for me, from the gameplay to the characters, setting and story. The raid mechanics are fun enough to not feel like I’m wasting time, and the music is good. Am I just missing something?

Theft is always justified, then, clearly!

As far as we know, Gordon Freeman’s character traits include… long, awkward silences and the ability to climb ladders using only your feet. I love Idris Elba, but I think almost anyone could play Gordon.

Of the language models you can run locally, I’ve found them to be awkward to use and not perform too well. If anyone knows of any newer ones that do a better job I’d love to know.

Right now I use 1337x and eztv, but it’s not perfect

Yep! I use Sonarr and Radarr, connect to their web servers from my phone to get torrents going and they automatically organize the files on my NAS. Then Infuse picks up from the Apple TV and populates meta data.

It’s a beautiful solution. A couple of taps on my phone in the couch and I’ll have a clean, organized and beautifully presented addition to my library a couple of minutes later.

I’m still learning this stuff so I have two plans - try Usenet, and also run it all through cloudflare so I can get downloads going while I’m away.

I’ve played many cracked steam games while even having my steam account logged in. I’ve even tried to run them before installing the crack, which opens my steam instance and gives me an error. I’ve been doing this for years with zero issues whatsoever! I wouldn’t worry.
