>>534576911we'll teach them how to pirate properly or better just teach them to not consume jewish lies
>>534576911You pretend to sell, I pretend to buy.
>>534576911why not just pirate?
>>534576911Based.
>>534576990Do most Zoomers not know about pirating? In the 00s everyone in my class practically was pirating shit.
>>534577631zoomers only know how to use apps on phones basically so no. the idea of a "protocol" is beyond most of them, as is touch typing. the spirit is correct, as OP demonstrates. when they mature they'll realize that none of that shit is worth watching even for free.
>>534577465Zoomers are too retarded to figure out how torrents work. Not even joking. Boomers have more computer skills then zoomers do.
I'm a millennial, and I only buy games during Steam sales. I will not pay any higher than $20 for your game.
>>534576911if paying is not owningthen pirating is not stealing.
>>534577465>>534577907i pirate literally everything, youtube, all the shows, all anime, all videogames>t. zoomer
>>534578307Congrats for being equal to an average millennial. A rarity for your generation.
>>534577831Basically.Gen X > millennials had a similar knowledge gap. Gen Xers (males) are a little more likely to understand networking and fundamental computer science shit, even though millennials broadly are tech savvier.But the gap from millennials to gen Z was huge. Went from navigating a file tree and proper desktop operating systems with clear distinction between "the internet" and an application on your computer Fisher Price like "apps" on touch screen, half of which are just websites that needed to be "downloaded" so they can scoop up more of your data.
>>534576911Good.
>>534576911>zoomers are stealing credit card numbers instead of learning how to torrent Definitely black.
>>534578307Good job anon.
>>534577997Same but for games and Blu-rays. I like real copies of things I like but I'm not paying $500 for an OOP Gunsmith Cats disc
>>534578008We used to call it 'recording' and the fees used to be built into the medium itself. They weren't selling enough 'music' discs though so they stopped home recording all together.
>>534576911New games suck.Most content that comes out now is garbage (see picrel).Everyone's redpilled on how much TV is just propagandizing them.Everyone has cabin fever still from COVID and the 2-3 years of hostile social climate and wants to be outside, not consoooming more shit on their couch.
>>534577465Zoomers are shit with tech.
>>534576911Gen Z grew up on the internet, which means they have a larger pool or knowledge than any other generation than before. We grew up learning how to deal with scams and con-artists thanks to how it is to lie on the internet.That’s why we aren’t so keen on modern corporate world, that is several small scams all networked together. We know that we’re being ripped off when Shecklestien gives himself a $80,000,000 bonus while we’re still getting paid to barely live for doing the actual work. We know when a game company is releasing slop filled with microscamactions meant to squeeze every penny out of you. We know that subscription bullshit like Netflix that has ads even for paid programs can’t be trusted. We know companies go out of their way to psychologically trick people into spending money.We’re not having any of that bullshit.
>>534578533Same, not buying overpriced OOP stuff these days, but I never got trained to not want to own stuff I enjoy like I was 'supposed to' be. This streaming era feels dystopian imo
>>534578952>gen Z>tech literategen Z largely doesn't even know how to use soulseek. if something isn't on spotify, it might as well not exist to zoomer.
>>534576911What's wrong with this? I hate Netflix as a service, but I like certain shows. I only resubbed most recently because of the new season of One Piece, and then canceled immediatley afterwards. If they announced a sequeal to Cyberpunk I would probably resub just to watch that.Sadly I only play physical copies of games, and primarily in the metroidvania genre and the physical copies for those usually come from very limited run printing so the price never really comes down. Like there was no North American physical release for Ender Magnolia on PS5 so I had to buy a Japanese copy at full price. It still costs the same as when I bought it a year or two ago. Also if you know the guy that made Cave Story and Ikachan can you tell him to make some more metroidvanias? He's really good at it.
>>534576911I love how they refuse to address the fact that the next generation are impoverished. Oh but then that would mean admitting the economy is failing.
>>534576911So they have finally realized that the current day entertainment is not worth it.Hehe. Suffer, you retarded kikes. The line will not go up this time.
>>534579115They thought people being poorer and childless won't totally affect the industry lmaoGood luck when more and more older gamers quit
>>534578307you forgot how zoomers in america are basically 90% apple users; vast majority don't even have google ai select set up on their phones, much less torrents. if they get a laptop for school it's apple. like preschool.
>>534576911So basically western zoomers started living like eastern Europeans or should i say easterneuromaxxing
>>534579026soulseek is turning boomer tho. for a lot of niche music, archived stuff, you go on youtube and find the discord, and/or they'll link a mega in the comments.
imagine using any streaming services lmao! If I want to watch something I pirate it and have been for decades. I will never, ever "subscribe" to anything.
I don't pirate because I'm not a degenerate deadbeat, but staying subscribed to a streaming service with no aim to watch anything in particular is boomer level retardation. My coworker likes to talk about the slop shows he watches and asks what services I have, like they're magazine subscriptions. As it so happens though, MGM+ for Breaking Boyd, at the moment.
>>534578952you grew up learning how to rope other people into your own little narcissistic zoomy scams using the internet, it's like typing vs. thumb-dabbing, reading books vs reading ipad.when the boob-shock begins to fade at 30 you guys will look retarded, and then we have this proto-mormon gen A coming up behind you...face it, gen z culture is 90% sperging at plastic objects on a screen or posting tits for mexicans. the rap sounds like down syndrom yet you're all wiggers. makes no sense.
I’m a millennial and haven’t bought a single movie, TV show, or video game except for TF2, Dark Souls, and Elden Ring.
>>534576911>Cancel and Renew foreverVery based. We faked AOL accounts to get free internet back then.
>>534576911KEK what a bunch of retards.Literally download qBitTorrent and open 1337 or any other website and you have all shit for free and if you are lazy to download there are shit ton of webpages where you can watch all the movies for free.
>>534576911shows are all trash, mfs need to learn how to pirate shit. Steal the games too. You're fuckin crazy if you spend more then 40 dollars on a game imo, they are also all trash.
>>534577465Zoomers are dumber than literal boomers when it comes to computers, so they don't know how to pirate anything if it involves more than going to a specific URL.
Good. Moar.
>>534580063Streaming services have become so enshittified and fragmented that it’s like buying cable TV but with extra steps. It has the same ad interruptions and intentionally staggered release schedule that network TV has when previously the whole reason to get streaming service was to avoid this. Ads in streaming services are arguably more annoying and intrusive, and includes bullshit like ads that won’t play all the way though unless you interact with it and ads that play at double the volume of the movie/TV audio. Also, it goes without saying that you’re not even owning what you buy. You can wake up one morning to find that a TV show or movie that you like has just vanished off of the service entirely because of some Jewish contractual technicality. This even applies to “premium” titles that you buy through the app as an additional cost on top of the subscription fee. Prime Video and Hulu in particular are really bad about this.
>>534578008So you can steal a rent-a-car?
>>534580214Msot people are going to see this pic and focus on the ass. Me over here, I am marveling at that incandescent lighing, the vinyl floor, the vintage toaster oven, the pressboard cabinetry with wood pattern contact.>Friday night in the middle of winter>Blizzard outside>Stuck inside drinking>Everyone trying to blow off steam so the cabin fever doesn't get to you>Throw a frozen pizza in the oven>GF is a little drunk and bored so she changes into a bikini and floofboots. Starts dancing around and shaking her ass because why not.Peak 90s midwestcore. We didn't know how good we hard it lads. Never forget that this is what they decided to replace with Somalians.
>>534578952>Scams and con artists These days you don't even have to be aware of that. If you keep your life on your phone, like most do, there's this wonderful flawed bit of javashit within your esim that can be hijacked, phone cloned, bricked, and everything burned. All without doing anything. Neat.
>>534576911nice when will they become scene girls
>get firefox>get ublock>go to yandex or duckduckgo>type "movie_name" 123movies>find the one that worksIt's really that fucking easy.
>>534581396Deadass no cap onG, I watched "Old Dads" the other day. Good shit, has the 90s Sandler-flick vibe. Worth a watch if you haven't seen it.
>>534577465>why not just pirate?because pirating doesn't work on iPhones
>>534576911You can pirate. You can also buy during sales. GabeN does like several each year.
>>534577631The kids I work with can't type in a url. They literally use the address bar of their browser as a google search for the website they want. They will type youtube into the bar, click enter, then click the top link, rather than just typing youtube.com and hitting enter. It's infuriating and they don't want to be shown the quicker way.These are alphie kids.
>>534581746It's illegal to pirate. Looting stores is okay though!
>>534577465Not worth the risk. It's too easy to catch a virus
>>534582427zoomers are fucking braindead holy shit kill yourself
>>534576911LOOOLPraise God and heil Hitler. I'm glad I'm not the only one to utterly refuse to buy full priced games.
>>534576911>boomers run the economy into the ground >the group most affected by it doesn't spend much money i wonder why.
>>534576911>buying movies or shows I can piratelol
>>534577831>when they mature they'll realize that none of that shit is worth watching even for freeAll that money wasted on trash, least when stuff is pirated if it is trash you didn't waste money on trash.>>534582315Gen Alpha sounds like they are going to be a disaster when they come of age.
>>534582427What the fuck is wrong with you? It’s really not that hard if you aren’t retarded. Stop being a goy slave and learn to
>>534576911WTF OUR SLOPPAOUR PROPPA SLOPPA, NOOO
>>534579115Same thing they did with millennials. Constant demonizing in media, blame for things that were set in motion around powerless people, etc. Gen Z isn't poor, they're ruining the economy. It's almost such a cliche boomerism that it makes me wonder if there's some deeper layer to this, but perhaps it's that simple
>>534582427Your dad got that virus being a butt pirate, not a media pirate.
>>534577631Zoomer think millennials have super powers, that's how IQ washed they are. the zoomer stare is a thing. they are deprived of basic knowledge.
>source is an ign sponsored UC berkeley studyhttps://www.ign.com/special/generationsinplay/>podcasts are dead>gaming is dead>brands are deadI've got good news about the entertainment industry boys
>>534582427Is it? How many have you caught?
>>534576911Hows that "wider audience" bullshit working out for ya?
>>534577465they're retarded>>534582427see ^
