Do you find piracy more fun than consuming the pirated content? (lemmy.world)

I feel like lately I’ve been doing more piracy than actually using the content I’ve been pirating. Curating a library has been so enjoyable lately, I’m not the only one right?

I’ll say I spent more time and had more fun jailbreaking my old Nintendo consoles than I did playing the countless hours of games I put on them.

There’s something really magical about having to fold a paper clip and put it into the joycon rails to MAYBE get your Switch to boot into Recovery Mode.

I can totally relate. I spent the time to jailbreak my 3rd and load with ROMs to then never play them lol I should charge that up again…

I made a Pandora battery back in high school to mod friends PSPs. I still have no idea how the heck removing a pin from the battery causes it to do what it does but heck, I felt like a wizard. But of course with unlimited access to games it meant I tried everything and completed nothing.

I started as a hobby but slowly weened my immediate friends family off of subscriptions because I like seeing the media actually be consumed and now I can't ever do maintenance on my server because someone is always using something

I raised to be one, so I just LOVE searching for this stuff, but nowadays so much more fun because so many good pirates share their experiences, and they make it so MUCH more fun to check and find stuff so MANY alternatives I love it this is superb.
