Jim Silly-Balls posted:people who say warez like Juarez I knew a guy in high school who did that. We argued about it a bunch of times. He was also the shroom dealer and at one point the cops came to his house and he freaked out and locked himself in the bathroom and cut his wrists. He lived but I didn't see him much after that.

Pretty sure there was a warez.com Also wasn't astalavista a site for downloading LEGIT FOR REAL HACKING TOOLS? (I pronounced it juarez before I learned what it came from)

astalavista.box.sk had lots of video game piracy poo poo like cracks or no cd tools, but was always a risk cause you never knew what you were really downloading

`Nemesis posted:astalavista.box.sk thanks to a nocd crack from there i was able to significantly improve morrowind's performance at the time because the drm ate 5-8 frames in a game that already had engine problems, partly because netimmerse (now gamebryo) had no occlusion, amazing people are cracking legitimate copies of resident evil: village due to similar drm performance issues so i guess nothing changes lol

I worked with a guy who steadfastly insisted that it was pronounced Juarez, so any time I had to say “software” to him, which was frequently since we were in IT support, I made sure to say “softjuar”

Nocd cracks were my poo poo. I would buy legit games and still install cracks because gently caress disc swapping all the drat time. Oh also my public library had legit copies of a lot of PC games where I'd do that too. iirc that was how I got both GTA Vice City and UT2k4 on PC. Related: being very insistent about how superior the PC ports of the GTA games were.
