At least half my library on both Steam and GOG are games that I pirated, played the hell off and then just bought. Most I don't even touch after buying them, I just do it to support the developer and actually own something I enjoyed.

This is sometimes the case with god forsaken countries like Venezuela, we've had the same prices as US since forever and we're the worst economy in the whole continent and rank among the top 10 in the world, so yeah sometimes is just bad luck or maybe even due to international policies that regular costumers are not aware of.

I've legit spent 50 hours modding Skyrim to play for like 9 - 15 hours and then moving on until the itch to play Skyrim come back and I spent another 50 hours modding testing something different.

Just tested it and it works great, pretty useful and simple. I've never really used either IDM nor JD2 but I might check them out now.

If this doesn't break in a few weeks I'll probably pay for the premium to support the developer.

Can you throw an invite to their discord?

Been using only his stuff for Adobe, Office and Windows 7.

Never had any issues.

Thanks for the tip!

This is the method I've been using for a while now but since I joined Lemmy and got exposed to more technical things I've heard a lot about jellyfish/Plex combined with other stuff like Dockers and nextcloud (I think), to craft their own self hosted stuff. I wanna try that out.

I'm just barely getting into IT myself so this got my interest, is there any guide or site that explains how to get started on this? I'm also looking to learn more about trackers since I just know the basics of torrent.

Neverwinter Nights is the 2002 Bioware game, remastered a few years ago with its Enhanced Edition, can be bought in GOG or Steam. Pretty good still for those that liked Baldurs Gate I and II

Neverwinter Nights, I enjoy playing some of the campaigns and modules every so often, trying out different builds.

Warcraft 3, just for the original campaigns and also the stupid amount of custom campaigns made by the community.

Yeah but the didn't launch on the EU yet.

I remember when the things we bought were extremely durable and could last for decades if taken care of, I'm talking about anything, from tools, to cars, to clothes.

Now, from the 2000s to present day, everything is made to be consumed extremely fast, products are made with cheaper materials and most likely designed to fall apart sooner, this increases consumption by A LOT on a shorter span of time meaning more money in less time, something corporations just drool at.

With things being replaced on a shorter span means more energy required for the factories, more materials, more waste, and yes, way more pollution.

A lot of the times the "consumers" were created artificially with this tactics. Many things that lead to the current state of nsumption by the common folk is engineered.
