Pretty much all of them. You go on one, search for what you want and either download it or just stream it, depending on the site.

Meanwhile with streaming services first you gotta figure out which one has the thing you want to watch. Then you hope it’s actually available in your country. If it is you can then watch it, but not in high resolution, that’s for the higher subscription tier, not the one you have. Oh wait, actually, you can’t watch it, cause your mom is currently using your account on her own pc, and you can’t stream on two devices at the same time. Are you starting to see my point?

I admit I am exaggerating slightly, but not by much imo. Streaming services have so many restrictions and random hoops you have to jump through that piracy is just the better option. And it’s a hell of a lot cheaper on top of that.

Sling TV Blue is only $40/mo and has FOX on it.

If this guy is anything like me or a fuckton of other young people, he just doesn’t watch TV. Paying 40 bucks just so he can watch a single game is ridiculous and exactly the point most commenters are trying to make. As long as there’s no easy and cost-effective way to access certain content, people will pirate it, even if they can afford to pay.

I’m not a millionaire by any means, but I’m pretty well off. I can afford to pay for the shit I watch too, but I refuse to support an industry that makes me jump through hoops, juggle multiple services, get package deals and so on, just so I can watch a TV show. Provide a service that is at least on par with the experience pirates get and I’ll gladly pay for it. Valve managed it, why can’t the movie/TV industry?

I am partial to “code monkey”

On a serious note, I usually refer to myself as a developer or a software engineer when I wanna sound a bit more important.

Meanwhile me who just never deletes anything:

Honestly, doesn’t even have to be old. My Toyota Yaris is a 2023 model and it has no subscriptions. Such cars still exist, but they are mostly in the lower end market, because automakers assume if you have the money for an expensive car you also have the money for a subscription.

I don’t, sorry, I generally don’t use guides while playing.

Yeah, you got into Hirata Estate. That’s a semi-optional area that’s a bit too hard for when you first gain access to it. It’s really the game’s fault for giving you the bell thingy so early imo.

I definitely recommend giving the game another go. Don’t get me wrong, you will die a lot even when you follow the main path like you are supposed to, but the game is a bit more fair with the difficulty curve. Except for the Chained Ogre, that guy is just bullshit.

Lady Butterfly? She’s technically an optional boss and really meant to be fought a bit later. She’s an absolute pushover once you have some upgrades and actually know what you are doing, but if you are just starting the game she is way too difficult. It’s honestly kinda stupid that you are allowed to access her so early.

The actual first boss is Gyoubu, the guy with the horse. While also difficult for first timers, he’s much more doable than Lady Butterfly.
