dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

What's great about libre software is that piracy just becomes you exercising the freedoms you're obligated to and becomes a form of praxis. Instead of needing an excuse, you have a duty to share the software.

I actually used to buy Wii and 3DS virtual console games, cause I wanted to support more old games being available via 'legitimate' means. But

  1. 'Legitimate means' is bullshit, just yoink em

  2. Buying them officially was 99%-100% of the time worse than using an emulator from the 90s (hi ZSnes, hi Nesticle lol)

  3. The people who made these games aren't getting the money. Even if Hitoshi Akamatsu was still around at Konami, there's no way they'd give him a cut of every copy of Castlevania sold. Most times you're just paying whoever has the publishing rights.

  4. When they shut down the Wii store and stuff, that was kind of it. Lol
