Can Pirate's Bay be considered "safe" if it is used only for non-executable multimedia content? angielski

Basically I want to download a serie in a specific language and absolutely nowhere I can find it and recently I saw that the serie is available in the language I want in The Pirate’s Bay but I know the bad reputation of the site and I have never used it....

The data will be safe to play on a linux box.
Whether you’ll be safe depends on where you live and whether you have a VPN in a different country.

I had to fight off a law suit for over 2 years over a single movie I torrented someone on my network allegedly torrented from Piratebay (Germany).

superkret,

Yeah, “don’t do anything” is horribly advice, at least in Germany.
I managed to avoid the lawsuit by showing the lawyers who wanted to fleece me that I had legal representation and collected enough evidence in my favor to make it difficult.
All they had was a file and an IP address.
It was a back-and-forth of letters between me, them and the court, which eventually refused to formally open a trial.

superkret,

Torrenting Linux ISOs is legal and doesn’t violate any copyright so there’s nothing to worry about.

superkret,

The way they catch you is by downloading a complete “Linux ISO” you seeded. Their log from that download shows your IP and that’s the evidence.

So either don’t seed a complete “ISO”, or use a VPN from a provider that will laugh at info requests from German lawyers.

Safest way is to make sure you only torrent Linux ISOs that can be legally shared according to their copyright license, of course ;)

superkret,

Yes, I hired a lawyer for consultation.
Since I was very poor at the time, I could get the cost for it reimbursed from the state, after laying bare my finances in front of a judge.

As for the seriousness, the legal firm moving against me had opened a case before a court in Munich (500km from where I lived) and I had to plead my case in writing to the court.
Next step after a lot of legalese back and forth would have been a summons before the court in person, which didn’t happen. The letters just stopped.

In the end, I paid 60€ for fees and postage. They had wanted me to pay 2000€ to settle and my lawyer told me if it goes before a judge, worst probable outcome would have been 600€ in court and lawyer fees.

superkret,

I think the response may have been one too, at your expense.

What are some games that "spin" failure states? angielski

What I mean by this, is instead of when you fail and are met with a game over, the game finds some way to keep it going. Instead of being forced to reset to a previous save or an autosave checkpoint, the game’s story continues in an interesting path. Are there any games like this?...

superkret,

In Outer Wilds, dying is part of the story. There’s no way to save the game either, so when you quit it, it’s the same as if you died.
Your progress is preserved through death, with an in-game explanation that ties into the story.

The Stanley Parable also makes you start from the beginning over and over, but don’t be surprised if the game looks different after a restart.

Looking for games with unique core mechanics

I’m requesting for recommendations for games that stand out from the rest in their genre, and not in the sense of being the best game in that niche but actually bringing something new and innovative to the table. I’ve not had much experience in gaming, but I have a few games to give you a hint on what I am talking about:...

Stanley Parable

You’re an office worker bee who one day realizes the office you work in is deserted except for a voice that narrates what you do and gets frustrated with you if you do something else. There really isn’t a point to it apart from discovering your word surroundings and trying to break the game apart.

Also, there’s a Steam achievement you get by not playing it for 10 years.

superkret,

In the original, yes. The super deluxe version currently on steam made it 10

superkret,

It also includes Stanley Parable 2-n.

What is up with Baldur's Gate 3?

This is not a criticism - I love how much attention this game has been getting. I’m just not understanding why BG3 has been blowing up so much. It seems like BG3 is getting more attention than all of Larian’s previous games combined (and maybe all of Obsidian’s recent crpgs as well). Traditionally crpgs have not lit the...

superkret,

There’s going to be soooo much beastiality.

superkret,

As long as you don’t use it for Office, Microsoft isn’t going to spend money on it. Their cash cow is M365 and Azure, they don’t even care when every single gamer pirates their OS.

superkret,

MS tried to make a Windows that doesn’t suck on mobile devices, everyone h8ed it.
