Vimm’s Lair probably has whatever PS3 games you want- google should find that site easily. I have no clue on DLCs- I don’t think I’ve ever emulated a PS3 game that had DLCs so I can’t really help.

RPCS3 is very user friendly as far as emulators go so you might be surprised with what non-techie people can do with it. AC4 multiplayer is listed as compatible with RPCN so you could probably play it multiplayer, it’s just a question of actually finding people playing it.

As for Xbox 360 emulation: again, you can get files from Vimm’s but I’d suggest you let that cook. Xenia is the only 360 emulator I’m aware of. It definitely works, but it’s still in rough shape right now. Needs more time. I know OG Xbox emulators exist, but I’ve never looked into them personally.

If you’re only interested in a single file, ProtonVPN has a free tier. The speed should be plenty for a single ~600mb file.

idk, maybe the hospital has insurance for idiocy. But the people that broke it almost certainly can’t afford an MRI machine, so they ain’t paying.

Well, shit.

Z-Library isn’t really research oriented, but you could try it. I have no idea how much scientific content is on it, not why I’m there, but FMHY says it has ‘educational’ content just like Anna’s Archive does, and I’ve seen textbooks on there before.

The issue is that they’re almost certainly going to be cheap, and therefore companies are going to use them even if they’re complete dogshit.

But I think the bigger issue is saying “no ai” and then… using AI.

Yes.

It definitely does that for Youtube, but I didn’t see the option for Spotify. I last looked at the docs a very long time ago, so its entirely possible it’s got some added functionality since.

Just make sure to use a trusted one, because you’ll most likely have login with your account to access your saved stuff & playlists.

I used SpotDL, personally. Not sure if it even supports logging in, but you can just make your playlists public for a few minutes while you download them. It does require you to do every playlist individually, afaik, there’s not just a ‘my whole account’ option. If you have youtube premium/youtube music you can DL high quality as well, though getting that to work was a bit tricky for me. I don’t generally mess with programs lacking a GUI, though, so it’s probably mostly a me issue.

It’s an old meme, sir, but it checks out.

porn mags would immediately disappear from shelves

Nah, dude, immediately back to sneakernet. But way more porn now.

Props can have contrails, too. Just can’t fly anymore.

It’s weed. Who cares? Do a campaign about prescription opiates or meth or something useful.

That title is definitely difficult to understand lol

The Judge used the fact that he played D&D in the 80s when it was ‘well known’ that D&D would make you a satanist- which is obviously ridiculous- to refute that it’s ‘well known’ that kids are addicted to social media today.

MR. GOLEMBIEWSKI: Well, Your Honor, it is well known in this country that kids are addicted to these platforms. This is a mental health —

THE COURT: It was well known when I was growing up that I was going to become a Satanist because I played Dungeons & Dragons. Is that — I don’t know what really that means. You can say that there’s studies, Judge, and you can’t ignore expert reports that say X.

That it’s standard- and for most stories I’d say expected and perhaps even necessary- doesn’t change that it’s awful in this context.

Replica gives it entirely too much credit. It was probably made in China last year out of stainless steel.

The two brothers lived with their mother, Elinor Markgraf, a former humor columnist for The Oregonian. She declined to comment.

That they even asked for a comment is fuckin awful, imo.

It’s not a lie, though? The six dildos thing is absolutely a real law, and someone has introduced a bill to ban sex toys in drug stores which would probably include Walmart.

It’s perhaps somewhat misleading, since this apparently has no chance of passing, but it isn’t a lie.

Yeah, if you’re gonna cross post something you should never see ‘nottheonion’, ‘mildly infuriating’, and ‘feminism’.

Fair enough, then.
