Except it defaults to something like iMDB in how it lists series and shows and their reviews… And not a single way to watch them. You then have to do quite some digging to find the right addons, and not all links are equally valid…
I understand they avoid liability this way but damn they make it difficult to actually watch something, and even if you manage to get it to listen to Torrrent trackers they don’t really seed back and that makes me feel like scum and that comes from someone who watches films for free.

Tip, ndesktop you can right-click the video at the right time and click “Copy video URL at current time”
If not on desktop, you can add

- Comment on Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit 2 weeks ago:
Unironically buy from AliExpress; Amazon is mostly an overpriced proxy to AliExpress nowadays.
Sadly I can say the same thing for my country’s Bol.com :'-(

Gulf of Mexico has oil rigs, and no sizable army? Why hasn’t the US attacked it before?

Thanks. My country beat three oppressors, though; Spain, France and Germany. Although, which European country didn’t deal with the latter?

- Comment on Do rhymes make sense to deaf people? 1 month ago:
“Deaf” just means that you have such profound hearing loss that you can’t communicate verbally properly, most deaf people do register sound albeit very badly.
I, for instance, have about 75 dB hearing loss, I don’t hear people walking, and barely register high heels on tiles, I don’t hear cars driving either, but I do hear it when they sound the horn; to give an idea of my deafness.
But I do know what spoken languages sound like, and what rhyming means. And how weird English spelling is, compared to its pronunciation. (English is my second/third language after Dutch and DSL, if that matters)
- Comment on Do rhymes make sense to deaf people? 1 month ago:
Some hearing people don’t have internal monologue, either!
- Comment on Do rhymes make sense to deaf people? 1 month ago:
Yep, and there is sign language poetry in lots of different sign languages!
It’s a beautiful and unique artform IMO
- Comment on Do rhymes make sense to deaf people? 1 month ago:
Most people who are medically deaf can still hear a bit. Also, deaf and hearing are proper nouns, no need to capitalise them for the NAD’s odd outbursts.
- Comment on Why do games like Minecraft require a launcher? 1 month ago:
I’ve had Black Desert letting me play a bit with an outdated version (I didn’t know there were updates, I hadn’t used the launcher for a while) but it gave my account a time out of 10 days after my play session.
I was also surprised it didn’t just go “Nope, update first!” immediately, I kind of expected that would be the case if I didn’t use the launcher.

- Comment on Why do games like Minecraft require a launcher? 1 month ago:
This works by injecting binaries into pre-compiled games, as well.
- Comment on Why do games like Minecraft require a launcher? 1 month ago:
This also works with any Unity game which prefers to launch through a launcher.
If it’s an online game, like an MMO, they might put your account on timeout if you keep playing some outdated version of the game, though.
- Comment on Why do games like Minecraft require a launcher? 1 month ago:
upsell other products
I don’t think I’ve seen games do that, not even to advertise other games from the same publisher/developer. But then, the only five games I’ve played with a launcher are three MMOs, Genshin, and Honkai Star Rail.
- Comment on Why do games like Minecraft require a launcher? 1 month ago:
Sometimes updates require a game to be restarted. With a launcher it never needs to REstart, it will be started fresh afterwards anyway.
It’s also in general a good place to centralise account management (esp. if parts of the game would need to be reloaded if another account is logged in!)
Lastly, although this is more of a side-effect, but it gives a good place to shows recent news/posts of the company about their game to players, such as when there’ll be downtime, in a way that’s practically impossible for the players to miss.

They can do that without a launcher LMAO
