This game is still so much fucking fun 2 decades later, not surprised the hogs are paying $50 for a shinier upgraded version of this delicious slop

I still haven't even gone to the Shivering Isles because I want to be at least level 10 or so before I set foot in there so I don't instantly die, OOO is no joke

It's always shocking to me when someone casually mentions paying for a AAA game. It's like when someone casually brings up astrology. If the game is cracked day one, the game is free.

I pirate movies and TV shows but draw the line at video games. I don’t wanna run a bunch of sketchy executables on my system.

My first pirated game was on floppy. I think I can count on three fingers the amount of times a cracked game has had some kind of malware attached to it on my system, and all of those were in the sketchy early web2.0 days. Times have changed.

That's why you get them from official and trusted sources, like FitGirl, LinuxRuleZ, etc., and/or run them in a virtual machine or sandbox. Any media besides text files has the potential to contain malware that can run when the media is loaded.

It's always shocking to me when someone lives differently than I do.

I'm sorry, I just don't think the movement of big rocks in the vacuum of space has any effect on our lives.
