Do you have a list of movies, games and whatnot to pirate this year?

I know I do, something to make the holidays a little more cheery since budgeting appears to be tight. I need something to make me somewhat happy.

    probably nothing. AAA games are not worth the bandwidth, even free.

    haven’t watched a movie in years because it’s all garbage.

    tv shows are even worse then movies.

    I just don’t consume media anymore. it’s all slop. I only support Indy developers by buying now, and watch streamers talk and play games. that’s it. they deserve my money, and my attention. not companies.

      I don’t understand the down votes. People do not agree with AAA games being shit? Because they are successful at being boring expensive bug simulators at most. Or they don’t agree with all the Hollywood slop being the same old boring feel-good happy ending shit? Or the fact that you pay indie devs who actually make proper content worth it’s money, as this is in a piracy group?

      I really don’t get it. I totally agree with you.

      If you want something good to watch, look into European films and series. There’s a Danish-Swedish detective series called Brøn (the Bridge) for example. It’s a really good. Or Wallander. Also Gaspar Noé makes really good movies. Just prepare to feel sick after, they’re really horrible and heavy. The British series Utopia (2013) is also really nice. Often European producers don’t follow the standard boring and predictable Hollywood formula.

      Don’t steal from honest people. Steal from predatory companies and asshole billionaires instead. It’s the pirate code!

        pirating isn’t even stealing, since nothing is actually lost. only potentials which were never gonna happen from me anyways.

        I assume the downvotes are because of the movies/tv shows and I quazi insulted things people embassy enjoy.

        to be fair, the best movies I’ve s een and do rewatch, are movies from countries not western.

        my top 2 movies are Battle Royal, and Death Note (the human one, not the animes). subtitles are 100% fine with me. the. along came that hunger games thing and people went wild, meanwhile I found it bleh and rewatched battle royal again, and again and again. I do like movies, just VERY little past 2010.

        I will for sure checking your movie recommendations, I’m not against movies and such just everything ‘western’ is bleh…it’s all the same vibes every single time.

        these days, all my media is from small content creators or Indy devs. I pirate way less then I ever have and buy almost everything. I have no objection to pirating since it’s not technically theft, but I do want Indy devs to be appreciated so I buy.

        I’d say the biggest studio/dev I buy from is Team17. never seen a game I didn’t really enjoy by them. simple, nothing predatory and fun.

        I personally haven’t found much. I always gravitate back to movies like battle royal, death note etc… best western movie I love watching is short circuit.

        another poster gave some euro recommendations I will be checking out. I’m not against media movies or whatever, just none of them are interesting. it’s all the same general premise for me.

        I guess the last tv show I liked was that superhero one with the wrestling guy. cena was his name I think. it was edgy and pushed boundaries. I appreciate that.

          I understand. Sturgeons law applies. Wading through trash is an issue.

          And I think you mean ‘peacemaker’. It is good, looking forward to season 3. Looks like you have a curation problem.
