I wanted to try out Serato Sample’s new stem separation tool added in 2.0 so I downloaded a crack to see if it was worthwhile.
Only now a week later do I remember I purchased the old version on sale and think to check if it’s a free upgrade.
Now I can’t decide if I want to bother uninstalling and installing my legitimate copy
Shit, I’ve pirated something because I forgot I had already pirated it.
I pirate because it’s more convenient. No launcher, no update, no DRM, no need to be always online. I still purchase games but still play the pirated version.
I bought a physical book, but I like reading from my Kindle better so I pirated a copy of it as well.
I’ve been pirating for years and am literally just now learning about exactly how bad the launcher apocalypse has gotten. Didn’t even know you needed one for legit Ubisoft games lmao.
And nothing of value was lost.
I don’t know if this works for all Ubisoft games, but for Rayman Legends there is a dll that will circumvent the stupid Uplay Launcher and just make it launch normally (see https://steamcommunity.com/app/242550/discussions/0/3647273545686004759/ , comment by murla)
I found my home server is sooooo much faster and more reliable than my streaming services. I usually forget I can watch in a legit way. No ads to skip, stupid popups when you pause, or buffering issues. I ❤️ Local Files!
I’ve considered this before too. Watching a movie on a streaming service only to see it buffer and decrease quality before more visually intensive scenes. It’s pathetic how easily I could find a better encoded rip, stream it to my TV, and actually be able to appreciate those scenes the artists worked so hard on.
I pirated a game because my parents had a party at our house and I didn’t want to deal with people while getting the game from the living room.
For the curious, LoZ:Twilight Princess.
Basically everything on prime video because I can’t stand the lag on the official app
