Is it ethical to pirate? Hell it would even be more hilarious if you take patreon links directly which most devs hate.

To be honest, I respect pirates more than I respect the devs themselves. Hahaha

How do you make that espresso, pardner?

Call a waiter tell him I want espresso and it gets made.....
How about you how do you get yours made?

YES! But it was even one less than this one.

Don't let ethics stop you just do it if you think the pros outweigh the cons.

Would it be unethical to have script to scan and repost download links from other sites as soon as they're posted?

Is it ethical to pirate?

we do not care about the ethical parts, we are a 'dev friendly' place as a respect, because 90% of the staff are game devs too, that's why we have our 14-days period before leaks. We tried some automation tools, but it's easier said than done, I still want to make something like that, maybe after fixing the other LC-scripts, because that one is really annoying to make it work properly (getting the info is kinda easy, but automating the post/promote part is a pain, we tried before)

Hell it would even be more hilarious if you take patreon links directly which most devs hate.

I think it's because mega links are too easy to report, which would make the devs lost their entire mega accounts without a right to refund (yeah, mega is a bitch). That why I avoid adding mega links from devs, I rather make some mirrors

I don't how to make server-based scripts or whatever that don't need a browser open, but I do think its viable. Scan some other sites to changes in versions in the games, and use some RegEx or something to copy the links and voilà.
Sometime ago I made a script that stored games names, tags, image and description from that one site, it could work similarly.

Good to see you Bonk! My day is busy with work, and then I'm off to a show tonight, so kinda crazy but in a good way.

Same brother JJ , trying to reach for that week finish line. Gots me a 4 day weekend ahead

Wouldn't you ? By comparison, there should be a link that withdraws 10k of coins from your bank every time a member visits the bank page. Hmmm, that actually sounds like a great idea
haha

I never understood why Mega is so popular. Theyre really fast, okay, but I download half a game and have to wait half a day to complete it. I'm doing something wrong? Or people just have premium accounts?

Yeah, I use it for small games only.

It's quick, but it's got some other annoying quirks as well.

30 parts and if you take 1 of each and put it in a nice wooden box it makes a whole new part. But the customer didn't want the whole new part that comes in a nice wooden box. They wanted 10 each of the parts. Now I have to try and protect these and ship them to Korea

premium accounts, yea
I find it disgusting, the worst host for anything that's not small files for sync and share, like work stuff. GoFile is waaaaay better for what we do here

Gofile is nice but they expire on not that popular games and completed games.
PREMIUM!!! nah just use multiple VPNs....

It used to be better. There was a time when mega had at least 5gb of download at fast speed, sometimes 8-10 in good days, and you could literally just restart the router to change ip and keep downloading if you were using Jdownloader or anything similar. Meanwhile, every other site suck balls, was slow as fuck and/or had a cap on how big a file could be for free users. Mediafire was the only other good option at the time but was having a lot of issues back then for some reason I can't remember.
TLDR: it now sucks, but it used to be the only good option.

 

[kikomascado]

It's quick, but it's got some other annoying quirks as well.

Even on smaller games I don't usually use it. Sometimes I batch download multiple games, so their sizes sums up.
The managing to see which game I can download and which one I'd need another mirror is not worth it IMO. I just use another one and that's it.

VPNs + mega= fast and unlimited......
Pixeldrain also have bypass

I don't use VPNs. The few ones that were free and I used on very especific cases were very slow, so wouldn't work for me...

you're not wrong, but you're only thinking about the download part.
If the game is downloaded at least every 15 days (IIRC) gofile is the GOAT for uploading, mega is too easy to report and be banned, pixeldrain needs an account (I use it because is the second better and I don't care about the account part) and has limitations for people that don't use VPNs, 1fichier same limitations, I could keep going but it's boring
my host list is pretty big, but really reliable? only gofile, pixeldrain and maybe mixdrop/workupload (those small but good enough hosts)

I just use pixeldrain bypass....never used pixeldrain itself haha

Pixeldrain and GoFile are my favorites. I also liked Nopy, but it died.
Pixeldrain has limit as well, but it seems way more than Mega and even when over the limit the download is still faster than other mirrors that I tried. Mega just stops the download altogether.

What's this? Like an unnoficial mirror site that removes the limit?

 

[zapbran]

Does the "Double Enabled" notification mean that we're earning double LC Coin right now?

Not that it matters, since I'm never getting to P4, but figured I'd ask my fellow lurkers.

Apparently, yeah. Just googled it and it sounds handy.

Can we post links in here? If so I'll post it.
