Originally posted by Lanny Lanny its pretty fucked up getting something and its already been registered. then you go back and try to explain to the computer store that it was already reg and them not believing you.
especially out of the 1 dollar bin of discontinued. no refunds.
If they find the game unwrapped and stuffed under a shelf somewhere and turn around and resell it to someone open-box, is it really that far-fetched to say that maybe the game was tampered with in some way? -

Triple posting is crazy lol

This is not and has never been standard practice. If they go to the store, they're given a refund or a replacement. If they go to the developer, they're given a replacement and it is assumed the store made an error. They do not pull an old, legitimate key due to what is most likely a seller error.

99% of cracked stuff I download NOW has an installer with it..

No one said your shit doesn't have an installer. That has nothing to do with anything, and if you were literate you'd know that the issue is mixed DRM, not that installers somehow don't exist anymore. How did you convince yourself anyone said that?
Can you tell me a single problem your torrent + USB solution actually solves here, besides some dumb shit you made up about blacklisting CD keys? -

Originally posted by Enigma Can I torrent the CD key tho
I know it's a meme question but keygens like the ones that used to be popular fell out of favor because most digital software that needs to be verified connects to an online system to check if the key is legitimate and not reproduced. Most pirates just used cracked/patched software that blocks those checks from even happening.
The appeal of the CD keys is that it's a legitimate copy of the game regardless of what happens later on down the road. In the case of something like The Sims 4 specifically, that meant that you could always install Origin and re-download your game if something happened to your hard drive or your you got a new system, when they moved from Origin to EA App the games came with them and their entitlement process changed those game copies were still legitimate and the process to run the game didn't change beyond which storefront would boot up before the game launched, and if the devs push an update you don't have to worry about your crack no longer working.
The Sims 4 is still being supported by devs so acquiring a CD key is preferable to torrenting from a sustainability perspective. Something like The Sims 3 would actually be a great candidate to torrent, since it no longer gets updates and the transition to EA App incorrectly flagged the base game entitlement for people who had already purchased the game so they could no longer run it. The people who had pirated the game didn't have to worry about that, and they already saved hundreds of dollars by not paying. -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson Um the cracked games 9/10 come with installers…
My guy you have literally no idea what you're talking about lmaoooooooo
Running an installer for an expansion that is designed to use different DRM from the base game you already have installed introduces compatibility issues, the game forums are already full of people bitching because they tried mixing DRM that isn't compatible on completely legitimate copies of the game. Getting it working this way involves workarounds like putting the EA app into offline mode or renaming files, not just running an installer and their shit works fine. Then the game updates and the crack breaks anyway.
Or you can just get a free, functional CD key and sell that for a ~$28 profit, instead of finding someone dumb and willing to jump through all these other weird ass hoops but still smart enough to do it for the same amount. That's without even getting into how you got the USB stick that you either paid for and ate into your own profits or shoplifted and defeated the whole point of the original post which was making money off of merchandise without physically removing it from the store. -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson You can…the same retards who buy CD keys in 2024 and don't know they can just download a cracked version, stick it on a usb stick and sell it to said retards
Stay in school kid.
Do you really think the same person dumb enough to pay for that is smart enough to understand their file system well enough to know where to put those files so their existing install recognizes the expack and flags it as entitled? If they were smart enough to do that they'd just be torrenting it themselves. -

2024-07-02 at 4:55 PM UTC in What are you thinking about....The McDonald's by my place has been fucking trash for so long. You could go inside and nobody ever comes to the counter, you could go through the drive thru and wait over half an hour and your order was wrong. Ofc everyone that worked there was black.
I went back recently and they had a white girl working the window, she was nice, and they got my food out to me within a couple of minutes.
She wasn't working today, so just black people again. I had to wait again and my order was wrong.
Makes you think. -

Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson Older women suck…so much baggage and attitude.
A young dumb one is so much better/more peaceful.
Yes I like dumb bimbos…when I get home from work the last thing I want it a discussion on world politics…no I want my dinner serving by a visually attractive young piece of ass wearing a sexy outfit with no flabby bits.
The quality of the brain or depth of personality is irrelevant.
If you want intellectual simulation get a friend. If you want your dick sucking on the reg, get a bimbo.
Why would she serve you dinner? She believe she's entitled to dinner that you paid for, and if you don't pay it someone else will. They're the ones with the attitudes because they've still got the mindset that they're the prize and that anyone would be lucky to commit to them because they exist and have tits.
Eventually when I'd been with enough women and getting pussy stopped being the only thing that mattered, I got to the point where I wanted to be able to have a conversation for more than 5 minutes without feeling like I'm babysitting. 22 year olds don't know how to talk about anything but themselves. That's not peaceful. Sure, they will suck your dick, but that's not exactly hard to come by at any age.
Peaceful is when she comes over, you sit down and talk about something you can actually stand to listen to, you fuck, and she leaves. A woman who's been humbled and learned it's not all about her is a lot more open to these kinds of arrangements. If she's got baggage and attitude that makes the juice not worth the squeeze, just say that. Something's bound to humble her eventually, losing out on you could be it. -

2024-06-26 at 7:33 PM UTC in Can you blame heat wave on climate change? Eye-popping numbers suggest so.I have a feeling that half the reason climate change deniers become so resistant to the idea of even accepting that climate change exists is because common sense would tell you that the people who keep bringing attention to it and have the authority to implement solutions are actively making it worse and primarily only take action to control the general population without adhering to the Pareto principal.
You look at this stupid bullshit graph that Crooked Hillary posted on Twitter https://x.com/HillaryClinton/status/1782400479743324603 and anyone with half a brain can see that no one is meeting the target. The people who actually know shit realize that these figures are completely made up anyway and they still say that the government isn't actually doing shit about it. The Biden administration has approved more oil and gas drilling permits on public lands than the Trump administration did. And even accounting for uncertainty, the graph visibly shows there is no difference yet but simply projects that there will be starting around next year and even that it could potentially be worse for a brief period of time.
The "common sense" conclusion is that if it's true and any of that actually matters, they'd be doing things that actually matter, like cracking down on corporations responsible for the majority of emissions, subsidizing remote work, making the armed forces greener, or diverting a huge chunk of the budget to improving wind, solar, and nuclear technologies. Not burdening the consumers who could theoretically be carbon neutral and still not meet the target.
I think these people just have a hard time understanding that the Democratic party will correctly identify a problem but they have no intention of actually solving it (because if you want to trick people, why would you hold the truth in front of their face?), so they assume that it's bullshit touted to get richer. Which it is, but not in the way they think. -

2024-06-26 at 1:46 PM UTC in Adults who play video games are LOSERSThe whole point of being an adult is that you get to do what you want, but if you're making it one of your main hobbies like it was when you were a kid then people are absolutely going to think of you as a loser.
It stops being that interesting once you have control over your life. You have a car and a job. Stop playing open world games and start going on hikes. If you want to play Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley or any other yard work simulator, go mow a real lawn and get paid for it.
It's a good way to stay in touch with long-distance friends or unwind on days when you're rained in and have nothing else going on, but waiting to get off work every day so you can run back to a home with dirty dishes and unfolded laundry piled up and play a chore simulator is fucking cringe.
