I don't know if I'm getting old or something but I'm starting to struggle with finding pirated games.
Felt like trying out Broken Sword 1 because I don't have class today, and not like I have more important stuff to do (I do) 1337x didn't find anything. Ok no big deal. I go to kickass torrents -- nothing. Pirate bay -- the search kept glitching out on me, clicking page 2 would take me to the home page. Some other torrent sites that a google search brought up -- either nothing or no seeders. Gog hyphen games dot com -- has the director's cut even, but the download speed is capped at 50 kb/s. Similar story with several other sites, with old-games.com being the champion at FIVE KILOBYTES PER SECOND. Ok, Western sites suck, nothing new. My Russian brothers definitely have it. I add "скачать" to my search query. Plenty of results pop up but it's allllllll with the Russian localisation only. Fuck that, they're all shit, all probably made by one 70 yr guy from Norilsk in his basement voicing all the characters anyway. Let's try adding "descargar". retarded portuguese site pops up, asking me to disable my adblock, and after I do, it keeps reloading the page over and over when I click "reveal link".
Really starting to give up at this point. Eventually a stroke of genius graces my mind -- what if I just google "scummVM games collection" or something? Funnily enough the 1st link that appeared had the zip archive in plain sight, with a download speed of 7 MB/s. Victory.
Gonna boot it up rn so wish me luck.

What is it with people and not bookmarking the pirate websites with all the good shit? Or is it my weeby ass being concerned about finding all my shitty early '90s Japanese artsy adventure games actually a net positive? Doesn't seem like any of the sites I know just stock the Russian version, but I am admittedly not paying special attention to the Russian site. Come to think of it, your problems would have been solved anyway if you bothered to search on the Internet Archive to begin with. Also, hope you didn't just grab the whole zip. I don't think anybody but the Germans need a Deutschland version of Elvira.

Fun fact: sometimes you feel a real block doing something, then it turns out good you didn't do it. On occassion where you managed to do this despite the block, you end up regretting having done it. It's like fate was telling you: this is not the right course. Today, quite a few things have ended with such realization - without me getting far into doing it all, I just found it was not worth the effort all along.

So all these enlightenment gurus saying that it's better to do something and regret it rather than regret not doing it were lying? :O

I don't like quotations, they are indeed often imprecise. They definitely are hinting at something that is important, however, only within specific context. Correctly speaking, if you consider success at something important to your existential integrity, the notion of you living your life and having your way, then yes, what must be done, must be done, however your opinion of it may later change. You'll consider your will broken if you don't do it.
But if it is not existentially important, if not doing has no effect on whether you feel in control of your life, the rule you cited wouldn't apply any more.

Was recording playing the next DBP, then power outage on the building and around area, lost the video. Will do again tomorrow. Went out to get stuff, came back, light was on. Put stuff on fridge, power goes off. I am afraid to do anything now.

lmao, Arch lowered himself to shilling cringey porn games so he kinda deserved this.. but the second video was posted only an hour later (granted, I can't watch Veeh's videos, only posting for the timestamp).. imagine being the only person willing to let a smut peddler advertise on your platform and they denounce you almost as soon as the stream's over.. you know.. after talking to you for 40 minutes about "fuckbots" with giant dicks and stuff that your "waifu" has to fight..

in the grim darkness of the 2nd millennium there is only cringe, carnage, and the maniacal laughter of thirsting autists.

Don't know how well-known the information in this video is, but I didn't know this before now.

^ portuguese sausage admin figured it out some time ago IIRC.
Went to give plasma today for them sweet sweet €€€. Ended up rupturing my vein or something lol and now I have to take pills with collagen for the next few weeks. However it happened after I exceeded the threshold required to get the money, so in spite of the fact that I only gave less than 1/3 of what I usually do (250 ml instead of 805, while the threshold is 200), I got paid the whole 25€. Owned the system epic internal bleeding style as always
Anyway my arm hurts a bit but I should be alright.

Sooo what's up guys. I stepped back, sobered up, backed down on the cringe and the passive-aggressive sense of humor schtick or whatever (I still have plenty of fun to poke around to exact as a modern witch doctor of some sort ohohoho), and am now back in the state of limbo with a sense of passive urgency. I don't know what's happening so yeah I'm just kinda here feeling fresher and wondering how to proceed in the world of Doom community gamer shenanigans. Time to level up and get frickin' hyped dooooood. BIG DICK NIGGA Dang I hope you at least got a free snack too.

I have no idea what does that first paragraph mean so imma just reply to the part aimed at me Dang I hope you at least got a free snack too. They give me so much free shit at my plasma center in addition to 25 € for the plasma itself. Calcium pills, drinks, little waffles, coffee, ice cream. On my first donation they gave me a bottle of wine and condoms. I'm scared to imagine at what price they sell that stuff later on.

Every time I visit DB, there is always the message "Can we talk?". I've already fucking disabled adblock. What do you need from me?!

@dmslr, disable javascript and you won't see the message anymore. It is not needed generally for these boards until you want to make a post with attachments, formatting, etc. and even then, if you want to quote multiple posts in your post the noscript version of "quote this post" page actually contains text that can be copypasted as opposed to formatted text of javascript-enabled version - the latter is really difficult to break into multiple small quotes or combine with another quote.

Block the banner too, duh @vigilantdoomer there's not much merit in turning off java script tbh. Plenty of sites break and the data savings aren't even that big. It's just annoying. Turning images off is a lot more sensible

BIG DICK NIGGA, there are multiple ways to block it. Noscript can permit javascript use on specific sites. In the past, there were extension that allowed it by default (the opposite of what Noscript does) but maintained a blacklist of sites where it would be disabled. The main reason I do it (block javascript) is security issues. Javascript is permanently vulnerable with regards to arbitrary code execution, there is no fixing it ever, it is broken by design - the security was not the primary concern during its development and you can't really add security after designing the system without it being leaky. It is the state of almost all software, yet javascript is an excellent attack vector because it is so complex and designed to make "webapps" possible. In regards to doomer boards, disabling javascript just allows access to different functionality - you lose some, you gain some (like ability to quote multiple posts because plain text version is copypasteable). I don't urge anyone to disable javascript because it has indeed become much harder to browse web with it disabled, just wanted to state that forums are surprisingly usable in this state. There is a term for this, "progressive enhancement" or how it is called, that makes sites available with minimal supported functionality, then upgrades as more of it is loaded and if browser supports related features. Wordpress blogs can even be accesses with text-based browsers (yes, these exist and are occasionally usable) that not only don't support javascript, but run in console, like in good old DOS times.
