Do you have a list of movies, games and whatnot to pirate this year?
I know I do, something to make the holidays a little more cheery since budgeting appears to be tight. I need something to make me somewhat happy.
I pirate monthly every IMDB 6+ movie and series that got dubs in my language and send an HDD to my father, who only has a cheap cellphone internet plan.
Do you automate that or just check the list manually every once in a while?
Manually. There is this group I follow, every end of the month I check what they uploaded throughout the month (their posts have the IMDB score).
How many movies is that per month?
Last month it was about 50 movies and it was a high number - I also don’t download horror or Hallmark-like stuff.
Thx!
You’re a good son
Fallout. Isn’t the new season starts airing this week ?
IIRC release is in two days, but definitely this week.
Whatever the *arr stack provides me with.
It’s actually insane how convenient the arrs and some import lists make things.
I open Plex, there’s content to watch. If it’s good, that’s great! If it’s bad, I give up halfway and delete it. The best part is it’s stuff I never would have deliberately sought out so I see heaps of random interesting content I would never have picked at Blockbuster / the cinema / whatever the front page of whatever streaming service I had was promoting.
Interesting. So you have *arr set to auto-download from certain lists and see it in Plex for the first time, as options? What kind of lists? How do you cull content you don’t end up liking so it doesn’t fill up your server?
PS2 games. I modded a PS2 as a gift for a friend.
What’s the go to for PS2 mods these days?
FreeMCBoot, you can just have it on a memory card. I installed it on a hard drive with a tb of games for them. You can get wireless adapters for PS4 controllers too. There’s some cool memory card options as well now.
Muppets Christmas Carol
The muppets family Christmas is a great one too.
It’s like a cross over of all Jim Henson properties.
I was like Leo pointing at the screen the entire time.
Great movie.
Adobe Substance Designer :D
I’ve been using Material Maker but I can’t learn much from the 3 tutorials that exist, so I pirated the industry standard one with its 1000+ better tuts.
Also wasn’t a good time using SD tuts while on MM, was very hard to find similar nodes/operations when following along. Made it much harder to actually learn what does what and why.
I do the video club approach, browse once a week and download whatever catches my eye.
Just my usual Ski Jumping vods, maybe some anime. Always look forward to the Four Hills tournament.
Have loads of game to play already, will start the Metro series soon.
Nothing specific, but I was very pleased with how easily I could download some movies from jellyfin to my laptop before my flight home.
NeoLemmix with the Holiday Lemmings pack.
Yes it’s trademark infringement not piracy but still a damn good game.
Youtubes fresh battle with adblockers has had me on a 6 month music video rip spree, with no signs of slowing down.
Right now Jdownloader2 plus a browser extension to copy cookie info to the clipboard is working half decently.
Once I started, I realized I can do a lot more with the videos now that they’re off youtube. No more ASR subtitles, I can time lyrics myself using Gaupol. I’ve also figured out how to pack the new subtitle, as well as original thumbnails and YT descriptions into the video using mkvtoolnix. Now a single video file can be dropped into jellyfin and fully provide its own local Metadata.
It’s going well and I’m not slowing down at all. Fuck you, youtube.
probably nothing. AAA games are not worth the bandwidth, even free.
haven’t watched a movie in years because it’s all garbage.
tv shows are even worse then movies.
I just don’t consume media anymore. it’s all slop. I only support Indy developers by buying now, and watch streamers talk and play games. that’s it. they deserve my money, and my attention. not companies.
AAA is shit, but even in the sea of slop, there is still good movies/TV.
And audiobooks exist.
I personally haven’t found much. I always gravitate back to movies like battle royal, death note etc… best western movie I love watching is short circuit.
another poster gave some euro recommendations I will be checking out. I’m not against media movies or whatever, just none of them are interesting. it’s all the same general premise for me.
I guess the last tv show I liked was that superhero one with the wrestling guy. cena was his name I think. it was edgy and pushed boundaries. I appreciate that.
I understand. Sturgeons law applies. Wading through trash is an issue.
And I think you mean ‘peacemaker’. It is good, looking forward to season 3. Looks like you have a curation problem.
Personally I find it boring to watch streamers talk and play games. Plus they go on like two or three movie lengths of time per stream. It’s never been my form of entertainment. I only have watched Let’s Plays on YouTube, mainly because the time is more constrained per video where it doesn’t make me feel like I have to watch some 7 hour stream that makes me have to make all the time for it.
I remember once of trying to view a video that was 6 hours long, it took me over a month to finish it from beginning to end. Simply because there’s other things I’d like to see and do during that entire timeframe. I’m not going to make a schedule just to watch some uninspiring dude attempt to be entertaining. Plus the whole game streaming scene has brought about its own level of controversies and drama.
I believe the downvotes are coming from the fact that you just do not curate your content. Don’t expect yourself to try and watch everything and play everything with the end result of enjoyment. I find it hard to be convinced that there isn’t anything out there for you to enjoy that can be provided from top-level companies of any kind.
It’s what always bothered me anyways whenever I hear that people say “oh there’s nothing to listen to anymore, all music sucks” only to find out that the only thing they listen to is the radio. Of course FM radio is not going to play music you’d like to hear, that’s not what they’re designed to do. Get yourself Sirius XM or something to explore music, whatever it takes, just stop relying on FM Radio.
So no, I’m not gonna buy it that there is absolutely and truly nothing out there for you to enjoy that is provided from levels of entertainment. People just have a curating issue and are expectant of certain companies to spoon-feed them what they want. It takes effort.
