When they call me to fix their PC 😂

...because he wasn't ever actually meant to be the main character, he just happened to steal the show, like a good pirate.

Balthier is the real protagonist, though Asche is another contender.

Vaan is the player character, but he might as well be the silent "protagonist"/PC that gets dragged through the plot that's led by the actual protagonist(s). He probably would've been better that way.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Well, Balthier does ask him at one point why he is there and he just doesn't have an answer for it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This is peak Final Fantasy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I found it fun.
And reinforces the sentiment that Vaan really isn't the main character.

"For the XP and loot, man, what else??"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I wish Vaan were silent. Kid was annoying as fuck.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Haaaard agree. I dropped the game halway through because of how annoying he was.

Anyone else having piratebay and 1337x redirect their browsers to weird German porn lately?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I couldn't say, but I've had my german porn changed to shady pirate websites and it's infuriating

[–] RedditRefugee69 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for the Reddit response.

Yeah when instead of anything constructive or related the thread nosedives into puns and other cheap jokes.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Remember folks, Reddit invented levity. Before Reddit "sarcasm" was just a Tuscan pasta dish.

Probably because your original comment sounds like a shitpost. If that's an authentic problem you have then it sounds like you've got malware in your browser, or maybe someone with higher access in your network hierarchy (apartment or university admin) is doing a redirect of some kind, though why to porn i cant imagine so I think we're back to "malware in the stack".

[–] RedditRefugee69 1 points 3 months ago

I think malware is fairly unlikely considering I'm running Firefox with only Ublock Origin and NoScript on Debian on a month old PC.

I forget if I'm using Cloudflare DNS via Firefox's DNS protection or if I'm letting my router handle it through the reputable VPN's DNS, but I'd consider them both unlikely sources of that kind of issue.

I'm at a loss.

People arent using prowlarr or jackett to search torrents en-masse?

[–] RedditRefugee69 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Never heard of those, so... no?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

You should learn about prowlarr and then set it up along with radarr and sonarr (and whatever other *arr service you'd find useful, there's a bunch).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Which domains are you using?

[–] RedditRefugee69 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The ones Wikipedia says are official.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Both show the correct domains so I have no idea. They both load the normal sites for me.

Maybe it's whatever DNS service you're using?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I was on leetx a few times this week, everything was working great.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Oooooh schwester!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I was helping someone download a tv show on an Ipad, they use Ublock origin on their laptop. The problem is that their is no Ublock orgin on the ipad, I kept trying to find the download button and getting ads in the end I gave up. I just used the laptop. There was no torrent for this show, I had to use a shity ad-ridden site.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Brave Browser.

Or if want to stick with safari, download adguard extension.

Also orion browser lets you download U-Block for free on Ios.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

All browsers on ios are the same browser engine, only recently have they allowed different browser engines.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Huh. Well then adguard works fine on safari and brave has a built in add blockers. So there are two free solutions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Tried it, it couldn't block the ads on the site, only ublock could do it.
