You and another have already said it, but Emuparadise. It was…truly a shame. :'(

?

Goddammit!

Why won’t Nintendo just FUCK. OFF. with this crusade of theirs??!!

^{(And before anyone mentions it, yes, I’m aware as to why they don’t. The question was rhetorical.)}

I wonder how these people sleep at night

With stacks of hundreds under the pillow.

May the gigabits be plentiful and lag-free this year! Amen!

A bit better-quality version, found via TinEye. :3

Fair enough. We all have our preferences. :)

Oh yay. :)

ProtonVPN also has port-forwarding.

That being said, last time I tried it, their Linux GUI was abysmal, though I hear they recently did a revamp. I haven’t used it yet though so I can’t speak on it beyond that.

Just something to keep mind.

Edit: Syntax.

My reasons for pirating varies by the context, however. Sometimes, I’m pirating something for morals & freedom, while other times it is because I would rather pay money for it but the only option is a DRMed one (and yes Steam is a form of DRM if it requires Steam to play), whilst other times I just pirate it because I don’t wanna pay for it.

So, yes, depending on the context, someone can be a pirate for reasons other than “pirate”.

Bottom-line is that while I agree with you that people shouldn’t kid themselves if they’re just being a pirate for pirating’s sake, I think you also shouldn’t ridicule others who are pirating for less-selfish motivations, at least during instances when that is their sole, or at least primary, motivation.

Tl;dr – Shit’s complex yo.

I know this is an old comment I’m replying to, but what about AirVPN? They don’t seem untrustworthy and/or a honeypot.

Are they? :/

Damn. After all these years? He just can’t get a break.

Rip.

Exactly, which is why I

1. Use a VPN server specifically configured for P2P,

2. Use port forwarding on said server,

3. Only have three torrents active at a time so as not to divide my bandwidth too much, and

4. Typically seed for weeks at a time so as to give the ratio time to build at such low speeds. (I typically try to seed up to 10.0x, but you know, with old seeds, that’s not always possible to do even with weeks of seeding. :) )

Seeding in this way may not be very effective, but it makes it at least feasible.

and very unlikely to ever take up your bandwith

Are you sure about that? Not all of us have fiber, you know. For instance, I have like 175 Mbps down, but only like either 2 or 10 Mbps up. (I can’t remember which. Lol.)

Never said there weren’t good FOSS substitutes; I was merely responding to what you said.

That’s fair.

Inkscape is a vector editor, and OP didn’t say whether they used CS5 (which is a suite of different software applications) for only vector graphics.

Not…sure why someone downvoted you…
