Meh. I still prefer Stremio and my custom configured Jackett setup for searching for torrents. Just has more features and more control. I’ve never encountered a pirate streaming site with even half the features Stremio has. I will grant you that anime streaming sites have gotten a lot better over the years, but I still don’t trust general pirate streaming sites. It’s great to hear they got better though. Easier acess to media is always a good thing.
I wouldn’t use a pirate streaming site over torrenting even if I was getting paid to do so lol the releases generally have terrible bitrates and low picture quality, likely because they’re the smallest files the site uploaders could find. They’re convenient if you can’t afford a VPN and don’t care about file quality when it comes to movies and shows, but I prefer being able to select a high quality file with good encoding, quality compression (265, AV1), and known high quality uploaders, like UTR and QxR. That’s only possible through torrenting the file or getting it through Usenet.
I even saw someone call it a “pejorative” the other day. So being called a normal person is an insult now? Lol
That’s exactly what I’m saying. Just because people are having fun calling out the tagline (or other memorable aspect) of a game doesn’t necessarily mean they haven’t grasped the game’s political undertones. That’s why it’s a bit unfair to assume the politics just flew over their heads just because they’re not spending 24/7 talking about nothing but the politics of the game. People are allowed to have fun sometimes too lol.
The example with Call of Duty is especially apt though, with the fans of that franchise blatantly lying to themselves about whether or not it’s a “political game”. Even the devs are getting in on it. There’s a video I watched once that goes into detail about Infinity Ward promoting the false image of their games being “unpolitical”. It’s a great video, I’d recommend giving it a watch.
Counterpoint: it’s a fun game with a memorable tagline and people are just having fun repeating this tagline to each other instead of thinking of the setting’s depressing implications.
To be clear, I do agree with all of this. Deep Rock Galactic is a very shitty company. It’s just that the people who play the game might already realize that.
Clearly it means OP is a hog and he’s angry somebody washed him.
Ah, I sure do love the block feature on this platform. Just one click and deranged shit like this is filtered out forever.
Absolutely brilliant description.
Say anything remotely negative about Dictatorship 1 and Dictatorship 2, and they come scrambling out of the woodwork with a long rant full of lies, stupidity, and revisionism and a couple of those cringe ass, unnecessarily large emojis to go with it. Honestly sick of them. Individual instance filtering can’t come fast enough.
