He’s unemployed, so he probably can’t commit to any kind of repayment. So he’ll declare bankruptcy, his bank accounts will be frozen and any “non-essential” property he owns will be seized and sold to pay off his creditors. This process really sucks to go through. And he’ll then have to rent for the rest of his days,…

TBH the site looks like it was a ROM Universe in name and a Pirate Bay in reality. If you’re charging money for access to the latest movies and games - that you don’t have distribution rights for - whilst living in America, then “absolutely boggling, dude” is about as polite as it gets.

He wasn’t selling access to obscure Famicom Disk System games, this guy was selling the latest games, movies and books. He knew exactly what he was doing.

sure they took premium sub money, how else were they supposed to pay for the bandwidth/hosting costs

People aren’t saying “what an idiot, zero sympathy” because they think his IQ is subpar and he should be punished as a consequence. They are calling him an idiot for knowingly charging money for copyrighted content. If you’re smart enough to set up such a website, you’re absolutely, 100% certainly smart enough to…

It’s pretty bad. Lots of phone shovelware with generic art. This was a big part of why I stopped checking in in the store.

You literally quoted the bit where I said the rest looked great. You’re straight up trolling me at this point. Knock it off.

“It’s an amusingly bad screenshot.”

I’m talking about the lead screenshot. It looks like shit.

Yeah. I’d pay stupid money for a PC port of Bloodborne, tbh.

I played a bit of the original a year or so back, too. I remember it looking a lot better than it actually looks (on a real PS3, at least - I dare say RPCS3 can give it a graphical boost).

I’m not a huge fan of the Uncharted games, but I made it through 4 at least. I didn’t think it was especially overlong or “a slog” compared to the others, it’s surprising to hear people say that. Each to their own I guess.

It’s an amusingly bad screenshot. Visually it reads like an emulator failing to scale assets coherently, and that’s never a good look.

Damn, I hadn’t seen that, looks good. Thanks man.

I think you replied to the wrong comment.

Obviously some white people are hateful, but a significant proportion just think that it’s not their fight.

People love promoting “starting fresh” with computer games, but as has already been addressed there isn’t any magical benefit to doing so.

Read this as “Metal Slug” and got all excited. Oh well.

This time last year I was just coming out the other end of a couple of months of long covid. I wasn’t aware of the term at the time. I’m fairly level-headed when it comes to medical afflictions, but I don’t mind admitting that the whole experience was low-key terrifying. For months.

Yeah. I’m fascinated by the responses comparing this “hot tub meta” content to e.g. a woman at the beach. I’m not sure if those people really, honestly can’t grasp the difference, or if it’s just straight up disingenuous (to what end, though?). Maybe they haven’t bothered with even a cursory glance at the streams…
