CODEX is defunct these days. I can't seem to find a valid source of X-Plane at all at the moment.

HOTD = Haiku of the Damned?

A lot of games where either not available at all or we had robots, green blood or missing assets in them.

We even had that problem in the UK with Carmageddon. It wasn't a problem to locate the correct files, though!

I've been sailing the high seas, or at least skirting the shores, since the late 1980s when my classmates and I were swapping BBC Micro software on 5¼" disks! Moved onto PC in 1990 and carried on. I even cracked a few games back in the day :-) These days I don't pirate so much, and I have quite a collection of legitimate music and software.

However, in the UK at least, the ISPs are required to log your activity and pass on to the relevant authorities if requested. Best to use an approved VPN to be sure.

AirVPN recommended here. Compatible with WireGuard and they have a Linux client, too.

They say they are a girl in the name they use, that’s good enough for me.

Well, good for you. Probably best not to worry about what others may or may not think.

Woman and girl also mean different things, especially to law enforcement.

My guy, I can’t believe I have to point this out, but FitGirl is a woman.

We actually don't know, as their identity has never been revealed. The 'FitGirl image' is of French actress Audrey Tautou.

 

Quote from the article: “The inclusion of intrusive DRM softwares [sic] like Denuvo is a choice that yields an unfair punishment on the consumer,” Running With Scissors says. “Respect the consumer, make a game they want to play, and you will never feel the need to fight piracy. The gaming industry deserves a better future, fight for that.”

 

This is where the argument that piracy is also preserving games stands up. Although, it begs the question why games developers do not properly archive their software.
