Out of touch comment.

Handheld PCs are PCs.

Eh, it runs most games now which was the only thing it was missing for me.

Emulating old games is almost entirely safe. Sure it might be possible for a rom to have something injected in it that takes advantage of some emulator vulnerability but it's extremely unlikely and I've never heard of it. Keep on doing that.

Modern games (or any other .exe files) are very risky. And you may never know you have a keylogger.

If there was no risk I'd pirate modern games. However you usually can't play online anyway. And having all my games in one place on steam is very nice, with cloud saves and family sharing too.

Basic caution is a sandboxed environment, anything less is foolish.

If you torrent games you will get a virus eventually, because your bank info is worth more than uploader clout.

I'm happy to hear an alternate viewpoint if you have any point besides "lol you just don't get it".

Also "don't trust piracy" my ass, my plex library is bigger than your mom.

I'm just not stupid enough to get PC herpes.

Who tf

I have like 600 games in my backlog between emulation and steam sales, why would I risk a keylogger snatching my bank info?

You think you're safe using a private tracker? Lol

I might trust fitgirl repacks, if I was truly broke and desperate and kept it to my gaming only partition.

I would never execute a pirated app in a non sandboxed environment, that's just silly.

Just buy games on steam like the rest of the world.

I'm talking movies and anime personally

None, just use a VPN and thepiratebay/nyaa/whatever else and stop being a baby

And you're wrong. Farmers and grocery stores are already operating on thin margins. Sure we could double subsidies but then why not just make food free instead? How about we just make food free for people who can't afford it, maybe with some sort of special card

Ok so either he drew a gun on them or they executed him. Well it should be cleared up quickly with body cam footage.

What's that? No body cam footage?

Right, then I'm going to have to assume they executed him while he was surrendering peacefully.

(I voted for biden, but I also don't trust the fbi to miss a chance to shoot someone)

Correct, all of that can be done with a normal database. And with a normal centralized service you can just tie a ticket to someone's ID instead of their wallet address.

And in fact, with the wallet address ownership you could just make a new wallet per ticket purchase and then sell the whole wallet via paypal. Circumventing the whole smart contract thing.

Imo the only advantage to NFTs is that the DB can't ever go down or be altered. But if you trust amazon you could instead just use an append-only hosted database like QLDB.
