Then go ahead, be my guest! Just answering, y’know, the question of the post mainly.

I meant that about what I said. That it’s mainly appearance-based

This sounds a tad vain, however, it would probably depend on how you dress (and act)

I never said it wasn’t, but that was an extreme anecdote first of all, and second, I have re-iterated that this doesn’t apply to people who don’t have such disposable income. Relative to their cost of living, always. Pirating is a lifestyle, stealing from poor creators when you make a substantial amount of money is not. What you sent was enough, more than enough. The dev in question sounds like a jackass and unfortunately he wouldn’t be the first with how many indie and major game devs turn out to be horrible people.

Is that relevant to my comment? I said support the creators directly, not the corporations and explained with examples. That reply was suspicious and arrogant asf if you ask me. I never said spend 60$ for the game, I said support the creators directly, even through smaller amounts. Even a euro from a person who can is enough. You cracked the game, you liked it, why not do that bare minimum if you legit have that money + a lot more?

If you have money to spend (and THAT much), you can still pirate, but if you pirate without trying to fund the source of your art and tools, you’re a mega asshole. Especially if you have as much money as this dude claims to have. You can find the creators of your games online, find their ko-fis, their patreons. Where there’s a will there’s a way

I thought the golden rule was about threesomes?

That’s fair, to each of your abilities. You can find a second hand device in very good condition, and if you’re willing to deal, fix or tweak it you can settle for even cheaper. But yeah if you’re not willing to do that, refurbished is probably a good but slightly more expensive option.

I’ve gotten many good quality and very cheap deals on just second hand devices though. An oculus quest 1, an onyx boox nova air 2. Almost mint, and like I said, really good price. You just have to be careful with your pickings.

Rly depends, there’s plenty of models out there. Search for one that has all your absolutely non-negotiable specs and stay grounded to your budget. I usually start by making a minimum desired spec list and a maximum budget. Go on ebay, look for currently listed ThinkPads and look through their specs and pricing, find something that isn’t too expensive but is quality enough for you.

You could look into getting a second hand Thinkpad on ebay
