The free review count is also IP based, so for most countries that makes it a daily limit and you can just use a VPN to get around it entirely.

On Android you can use Google Lens or, if you don't want to use Google products, any random QR code scanner app.

No idea about iPhone as I've never owned one, but I'd assume most QR code scanners can do that there as well.

The former. You input a regular download link from a hoster supported by them and get a premium link back.

Or you use JDownloader 2 and have it do it automatically.

Oh, I played through Dawn as a kid multiple times. It's great. It's what made me play Aria in the first place.

I've tried Bloodstained, but another game release got in the way. Definitely need to give it another go.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll check them out.

I used RetroArch when I played Aria. Works, has support for Retroachievements built in, is cross platform, and I even got it to where I could save on mobile and have it sync to my PC and vice versa, but I don't like the interface. I even got to the point where I could theoretically sync the saves to my modded 3DS, but only manually.

It's a great website. I used it a couple years ago as an excuse to finally play the predecessor to the first castlevania game I played as a child.

They can, but just like real bees they lose their stinger when they do and die shortly thereafter.

Whenever I hear someone say that something is impossible with current technology, I think about my grandma. When she was a kid, only some important people had telephones. Doctors, police, etc.

In her lifetime we went from that to today, and, since she's still alive, even further into the future.

Whenever someone calls something impossible, I think about how far technology will progress in my own lifetime and I know that they've got no idea what they're talking about. (Unless, like you said, it's against the laws of physics. But sometimes even then I'm not so sure, cause it's not like we understand those entirely. )

It's still possible and last time I used it, it was about as easy as can be.

When I last did it, you just downloaded the regular program, installed it, then you ran a patcher and that was it. This was a couple years ago now, but Adobe already had their current business model.

Previously, if you shared your library and someone else was playing any game, they would get ejected from said game and be unable to play any other game, as soon as you started to play any game whatsoever.

This made it more or less useless.

Now they changed it to where you can only play the same game as many times as your family collectively owns it. So, if your family member plays a game you only have a single copy of, they can keep doing so, until you start that exact game. You may still need to activate the client beta for this, but it'll be active for everyone eventually. (Don't know if it is yet, as I'm using the beta)

I know what you're getting at, but generally homes are actually built that way.

Law enforcement can always go through any doors or windows if they have a warrant. You'd have to build a bunker to be save from them.

I had heard about the project but thought: What is my data gonna accomplish? I didn't really play anything outside the Pokémon games, which they probably have thousands of duplicates of.

The very last section is what got me. Cause there were like 1-2 games I've never seen anyone else play that I did play and after reading that it only takes a couple minutes, if your system is modded, I took my two modded 3DS' and send my data.

Even if there's nothing new in there, this is a worthy cause.

and then they break it and decide the cost of a repair isn't worth it

Yep, that was me with my previous phone, which I did indeed have for over 5 years.

But there's another major factor to it.

I use Android phones, which get official software updates for only a couple years (3 years for the most part). This includes security updates.

So when I got my current one it was one of only two I even considered, because only those two manufacturers promised 5 years of (security) updates at the time.

It has gotten better though, but except for Fairphone they're still all very hard or impossible to repair.
