I mean..I could understand that question a handful of years ago, but now? There's a long list of games that only have a loading screen when you open the game and never again.

Even as far back as minecraft for the most well known ones. TLOU iirc was like that as well, back in ps3. Now with nanite I bet it will be even more common. But I doubt we'll ever get to a point that ALL games are like that. Sometimes it's even done for artistic purposes. Or continuity reasons.

It's not. Most of the time it's fine, but there have been cases in the past that they added their own DRM in the games.

I remember when I was considered a contrarian for refusing to have a facebook account back in 2008 or twiter later on or instagram. How times have changed.

I really dislike how it went full plugin mode. It annoys the hell out of me that I don't have an app locally. Plus it looks a bit iffy to me on data collection compared to other password managers and the fact that it's located in US doesn't fill me with confidence about privacy.

I use dashlane and I want to change. Any ideas on something that can offer the same functionality?

ie awesome with input fields for autocomplete, ability to save documents and with a good android app?

A week and two updates later. FPS stays at 15 but for some reason now I get a warning that it needs 8gb ram that I didn't get before and tge loading times are much worse.

The game is playable, being pixel art and old, you don't really feel the 15 fps and they don't make it unplayable or anything.

That said, I wouldn't play this game on a phone anyways even if it run at 60 locked and I fully understand that my s9+ will never be good enough for yuzu. That's not a criticism of the emulator whatsoever, just reporting how it plays on old exynos phones.

Do you happen to have a good guide I could follow? I really like the idea behind playnite and how good/useable it can look, but I get lost every time.

If not for the rest, at least for emulators/retro gaming.

I really, really want to use it instead of having a bunch of launchers for pc and emulation but it's too damn fiddly. Cant get retroachievements to work, normal achievements tab is forever empty, no way I found to have a unified control scheme, most of the plugins I tried do absolutely nothing, like the deal finding one, I could go on.

Not saying it doesn't work, obviously it does. But it doesn't for me sadly. And I can't spend a week on trying to get it to work. Two days of following guides online, did nothing for me, so I just gave up.

After my last visit on r/piracy, I'm of the mind to close it down for good and if reddit wants it back they can do so themselves.

Sure, there's a few people there that honestly ask question about the community since they weren't checking reddit at the time, but any attempt to explain has people insulting me. They want to stay there? Fine, cut ties and let them moderate it. That means they inherit a community someone else worked hard to build but whatever. With the attitudes I notice, they are not going to manage to keep it running for more than a few months anyways.

Best I've seen so far is 16TB for 30 bucks on Mega. Don't know how okay they are with piracy however, I've seen a few DMCA'd links from it in the past.

Sonarr and radarr can use torrents just as much as they can use usenet. I used them for both, now I dropped usenet altogether.

I find it easier to either DDL or torrent, plus a lot of the stuff I'm after recently proved hard tto find on usenet for whatever reason.

It's more hassle to search usenet for my usecase and while it's true that maxing out download speeds is awesome, I'm not in a hurry. I let the .arr apps do the work while I'm busy with life and when I get back home I have it all ready anyways.

No it's not. You can find literally everything on torrents. Even with Kodi/Stremio, I could always find what I wanted to stream when my debris ran out.

There's only one case that I can't think of a way without premium link generators and without waiting for months on end, and that's switch emulation, and that only if you want the latest updates/dlc.
