What do you do? Do you read the TOS, travel to the store, rely on the internet and stream or download, agree to the TOS or decline, pirate, or digitally back up your physical copy for personal use and not exhibition then wind up with a leftover hard copy?


maybe you spice it up with a little mix

Eh, it's 10 bucks a month, you get the live PPVs which used to be $60 a pop from cable companies, and it has all the stuff from the late 90s-early 2000s when fake fightmans was actually good and also ECW. Plus NXT is actual good wrestling so there's that.

Wrestling is stupid as poo poo but really it's just another set of roided out millionaires to watch on Sunday while getting drunk.

On a whim I rented a CD from a library because it was there ATM and I didn't want to go through the hassle of DLing it. Plus I could get legit good quality rip from the CD itself. But when I jammed it into my CD drive, my laptop spat it out as though it wasn't a music CD and refused to recognize it at all.

Thanks windows 10 you garbage slut.

Wait. Update. Restarting the computer inexplicably fixed the problem of it spitting the CD out whenever I porked it in.

What the gently caress windows 10.

Unless you mean the other "digital" as in "touching with fingers" exactly.

My computer being not super great I usually torrent games before I buy to see if they will run, then buy if they do. Steam now has refunds though so I'll probably do that now like I did w/ dark souls 3 (does not run).
