Might be more known to Canadians than otherwise but for those who remember Ed the Sock: I have his Fromage specials for 2000/2001/2002/2003/2004, but there’s zero trace of 05 (except for a handful of clips on 1 youtube channel which amounts to 30% of the full special), and zero trace of anything pre 2000.

Even Kerzner himself says he doesn’t have the earlier ones (iirc), and the 05 one at best was:

A) Posted to his Facebook group once and got DMCA’d by Much within hours, leading to almost no one having ripped it as far as I know. B) Offered up as a reward tier item to those who backed one of he and his wife’s crowdfunding campaigns, but they also have a history of not following through on those and I’ve never seen anyone who got any digital downloads for the old Fromage specials.

So here I sit for year number 18 of my ongoing quest to try and eventually find those remaining specials, remembering the morning of August 14th 2007 when I threw out the fucking VHS tapes I had them taped on while decluttering the week prior to a cross-country move.

I used to, as I wasn’t comfortable with CLI.

Then yeah I realized how easy it was to use lmao, CLI all day now.

15ish years ago when Seagate was having lots of issues with their 2TB externals getting the click o’ doom I lost 6 2TB drives over 2 years.

The data was just data, easily re-acquirable, but fuck that was a pain in the ass.

Handbrake, ffmpeg. If they cant do it, I don’t need it done.

Ah fuck me, I used these guys.

Same. It’s an old shitbox I need to junk and replace but I’m a cheap bitch and it still works well enough so the bits will flow.

Round 30TB between music/tv/film/stand-up/books/comics/applications.

Same. I’m a Doctor Who fan. I don’t need to learn lessons twice. My grandchildren will be able to watch the dumb shit I grew up with one way or another!

As someone who gets comics from TG up and including last night: Shit.

Edit:

This was posted to their telegram channel according to reddit’s piracy sub, so everything is fine.

What people need to learn is that “indie game” it’s not a synonym for good, or worthwhile. I’ve pirated tons of indie games which wereamazing and I ended up buying.

I’ve also pirated tons of indie games that I wouldn’t have spent a damn dollar on because they absolutely sucked.

Pirate indie games all damn day. Pay for the ones that aren’t flame-broiled ass. Don’t reward people who asset flip or put 5 mins of effort into something just because the game is listed under a category called ‘indie’ lmao

Loved him some tiddy.

Annas Archive, DC++ hubs, pdfmagazines.club (site is nsfw as playboy and similar will be on the front page guaranteed), and beyond that just via dumps on torrent trackers like 1337x.

Partially off-topic but I rarely get the chance to tell this story:

My old man was a porn hound. Talking wall of VHS tapes. You know what I’m picturing, that was his living room. Had 4 VCR’s hooked up at once with several switches, a few switchboards for colour and audio correction, whole 9 yards. Lost an eye when I was a kid so always wanted to make his viewing ‘optimal’ for him.

What he’d end up doing was go down to the local Variety Video, rent 5-6 tapes, come home, and dub em over the weekend. Then once dubbed, remove the label with some heat, open the cassettes (the og and the copy he made) and swap the reels so he’d have the original one (which would be ever-so-slightly better quality than the copy he made, again, cause of his sight). Then seal em up, return the copy and no one was the wiser. Did this for close to 15 years before the place closed down (for unrelated reasons) and had his huge wall of big titty wank material for years to come lmao.

I’m sure they do, amazingly my answer somehow doesn’t change. Fancy that.

Edit: Downvotes mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer and this is a piracy community. Take that anti-pirate shite back to Reddit to the old community that does nothing but shit on things and post memes. We’ve never had a need to justify piracy and trying to shame people for it is some little-dick-bootlicker energy.

Because I don’t pirate games to get a DRM free copy, I pirate games to try them out. GOG offering DRM free games doesn’t change any aspect of my piracy what-so-ever.

Game comes out on GOG that I want? Cool, time to pirate it, play it, and make sure it A) runs correctly on my PC, and B) make sure the game isn’t flame-broiled arse. If it’s good and I enjoy it, then I will buy a copy and not a minute before.

DRM free =/= good. DRM free = DRM free.

/reads the first few lines of an article.

yeaaah figuring that out quick :(

I had not heard of that, and am not sure I want to…
