Always the same graph but it's the 30% of USians that are stupid and evil.

China, the biggest market for a lot of movies, can just show them in theaters without paying the funds to Hollywood and people could probably pirate them at home freely. I think? That or Tesla and iPhone and shit.

Streaming pirated movies via Plex and a Prime day sale Firestick onto a 42" plasma TV with a soundbar, both of which I got for free and thriving.

The King Of Kong documentary definitely makes him seem like he cheated in DK using footage taped on an emulator, so I'm assuming at least some of the later accusations are true. It's also true that he is actually good at these games at a near-top level because he's done either real highscores or at least ones close to them in front of live audiences. But he likely cheats on top of that to maintain some of his records out of pettiness and shit.

I try to stay apolitical on social media,

But the last dem debate was an absolute disaster. I’m gonna join the race and win by just yelling over everyone from beginning to end at every debate. It’s not like the moderators will stop me.

I felt 100% sure that he was but I can't actually find any information actually proving that at the moment. Wondering if maybe I just assumed he was 'cause he's at the intersection of every fascist influence of the US: cheater, small business owner, '80s nostalgia freak, wears a US flag tie and puts USA as his highscore input, white guy (Italian?)

Vinesauce fans are massively parasocial with Vinny too.

I will not.

A diplomat and his family were tragically killed last night when an expired Plasma TV detonated in a home in the North Greely Estates. Police say, "sometimes plasma TVs will just do that." Experts say it's time to get an American-made OLED TV.

I can't remember who described social democrats as liberals in a hurry, but the US is double-fascist with the Republicans being fascist in a hurry.

Yeah, it's like hubris mixed with group psychology (a lot of "we's" gettin' used) mixed with weird (over-)entitlement. Also see it be used in a semi-ableist way were people say it'll be some autistic person who cracks it (either custom firmware or emulation) and stuff and they'll just wait for them to do all the work for them. Like autistic people are their treat servants.

Online gamers are like this with Denuvo and video game DRM and piracy stuff too. As if piracy hasn't gotten harder in the past 30 years and people are torrenting less and less. People used to distribute Amiga game cracks on floppies pretty openly and now you need to get a VPN or get on private trackers sometimes . We are not winning right now. We can't even convince people to play the original Paper Mario: TTYD, a lot of people demanded it be ported to Switch before they'd replay it or try it for the first time.
