You can pay for the subscription while getting the content onto your computer through other means, this is sadly the best compromise and it also gives you long term access and ownership of things you want to hold onto, with no DRM bullshit and the creators still get paid.
P.S - whatever content you want to support, make sure to let it play on mute in the background, just so the streaming service knows it’s actually popular and worth supporting
Yeesh I knew Epic was run by dick heads but I didn’t know they were this slimy, I’m glad I’ve only bought one game on their platform (Subnautica below zero), and that’s only because I got the original Subnautica for free from their weekly giveaway and loved it. I’ll continue to get the free games from them as it’s good to take a chance on games that you otherwise might never learn about.
The first thing I do with any new device I buy is run porn on it lol. It’s the initiation ceremony for my gadgets
That’s a Ballchinian
I like games with beautiful open world environments I can just roam around in so Witcher 3, RDR 2, Far Cry 4, Subnautica. I also like games I can quickly jump in play a little and quit, so playing a few quick matches in Dead By Daylight is comforting
Why can’t they just place the ad at the beginning of the video, Spotify gives you X free uninterrupted songs to listen to after listening to 1,2 adds. Why can’t they just follow that model
Any product that advertises on YT is one I avoid
Hey Netflix, the amount of Ads people are willing to endure for a paid subscription is ZERO and it will always remain so. In fact even the stupid games advertised on the top of the landing page made me use Netflix less and less, and now that they stopped password sharing I don’t use it at all
There’s no hosting needed for Bluesky, you can just create an account on their website, like any other website
Ahh the land of the free
Taliban, Vietcong have both beaten the US goverment in the past and recently. Despite not having access to the same level of weapons and other tech.
Plus the high lasts for hours, which is it’s own boon or curse depending on your situation that day
Confidently uninformed

I don’t mean actively reading and listening to the audio book, think of it like English subtitles for a English movie. You can ignore them for the most part, until you hear something you didn’t quiet catch or you were not paying attention and missed something, it’s much easier to scroll back a little and read the text to catch up rather than play the part again. Happens a lot for me when listening to audio books. And rewinding the book to catch up on the part I missed is annoying, it’s better to just quickly read the last few lines instead.
Prime Video, absolute trash tier, doesn’t even have its own unique URL, because Amazon wants you to go to their e commerce landing page first in the hopes that you’ll end up seeing something you want to buy.
The search sucks, oh you wanted to stream this show you are already paying a monthly subscription for, let me put these options to buy or rent it at the top of the search results just in case you want to pay extra to for it.
The content is also usually shite and why is my landing page filled with previews of content I have to buy extra subscriptions to view?
It’s one of the few platforms where continuing from where you left off just fucks up every now and then, of you were watching season 6, episode 4, now you click play and it starts Season 1 episode 2 for reasons.
Heck even when you navigate to the show and select the season you want to start watching, it shows you shit to buy first and then you have to make a extra click of the episodes sub section to actually be able to start playing the video.
I prefer Pomplamoose instead - https://youtu.be/kTP246fnKAI
How big are we talking, I sometimes feel like taking a year off to fix my mental health, but I fear it will kill my career
TV shows and movies don’t get made for free mate. The people making and producing them need to get paid one way or another, if nobody paid for anything, nothing would get made. I got everything for free when I was a kid but as an adult if I can afford to pay for something and I like it I will pay for it as it’s not only the right thing to do but the only way to guarantee good stuff still gets made.
