Wait, wat? There is other way to get games???

I don't even remember my reaction, I've known about pirating and emulation since I was like 5.

I was mystified when I discovered emulation, opened up a whole world of games I had missed out on because I my Snes died early and so I mainly played Genesis as a kid. Dad was also a big fan of SEGA so I just played what he made available to me until I got a little older.

>my face when I discovered pirating and emulation but only had access to Macs or very old PCs for most of my life

>playing GBA and DS games that just got realesed

>mfw kazaa

only pedophiles pirate games, user

Not knowing the difference between bait and a joke

>Always bummed that I could only play Sonic Adventure on my cousin's Dreamcast and never really finish it
>mfw I learned what an emulator was ten years later
I mean granted I realized the game was shit when I played it on the emulator but still it opened the floodgates

>pirating shit from Limewire

>Brother downloaded SO MUCH SHIT from Limewire
>user your games are making the computer slow so I deleted them

>he isn't on private trackers

Kek.

>I was merely pretending to be a retard xD

>mfw discovering modding

Fucking this

...

>mfw I get Daemon tools working for the first time

>discovered
Really? I didn't know any other way to play games.
Maybe because I live in Argentina and piratery is part of our society. Or was, the digital era is changing and now people buy games on Steam, movies on Netflix... poor losers.

>op pic
That was my face when I realized that I have enough funds to allow games so I can finally stop pirating them

My brother brought home CDs he got from his friend with Neo Geo emulators
>mfw playing Metal Slug on the computer

...

>yfw it's 1997 and you start downloading off an fserve in the hopes that by the end of the school week you can play Total Annihilation

qt

nice.

>love MMX2
>played it all the time
>one day, it straight up disappears from our collection
>one of my brothers probably lent it to a friend, meaning we'd literally never see it again
>bummed out about it
>years later, come home from school and go into my brother's room
>he's got pic related attached to his computer and is playing Seiken Densetsu 3
>explains to me what an emulator is
>mfw I could play MMX2 again, after all those years

I still remember how fucking excited I was, and I got even more excited once we got one of those old Gravis Joypads so we didn't have to use a keyboard.

I wasnt even born in 1997

>emule

Stop trying faggot

>"I wasnt even born in 1997"
>underage b-
>someone born in 1998 could be 18 years old this year
>mfw

Jesus fuck, where is the time going?

I did not feel this. My whole countries video game export is based on pirating since I was born.

I keep seeing this, what is the source?

>soft modding your ps2

No big surprise. I don't pirate though, just find sites to play old genesis games on.

> download torrent of Fez
>Seed the fuck out of it and leave it running at night and while at work
>Never install it.
>Literally taking food out of that duck's mouth
>Feels good familia

fuck off johan

>mfw trying to download shit on google and getting nothing
>mfw discovering limewire for the first time
>mfw discovering torrenting for the first time
>mfw discovering warez for the first time and never getting another Cease and desist email ever again

Fuck you. Get the fuck out.

hurry up and leave please

>people buy games on Steam, movies on Netflix... poor losers.

Those faggots are still a minority.

>male butterface

I downloaded from limewire, piratebay and all sorts of places and never got one letter

>TFW only 20 and even I think people born after 1990 are pure cancer
I am in the worst generation.
Kidding, next is EVEN WORSE than Millenials.
>Many don't even know how a magazine is used until the age of 5, some 7, cause of touch screens

nah, I'm talking about downloading movies and porn

yea I downloaded heaps of movies, no letter ever
I use private trackers now

It's only gonna get worse man, i'm a bit older than you and I am starting to get the appeal of sitting in a rocking chair on my porch in the hopes that I can one day shoot a trespassing teenager and say I caught him trying to break in.

>tfw I'm literally downloading 3ds games from nintendo's servers
>they can't do anything about it
>all these awesome games I missed out on and no longer have to pay ridiculous prices for because of scalpers
>awesome as fuck custom themes
>got all the dlc for smash for free

...

>tfw there's like a 50:50 chance Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild will be emulatable on release

i was born in a place where pirating was considered more normal and buying original games was wierd, i discovered steam when dota 2 was released it was quite startling that games are that expensive. there we only paid for disks doesnt matter how good a game is. 0.80$ per dvd

t.3rd world

>playing old rom hacks
>playing games that never made it to the US

Good times, but that is about the only thing I use emulators for.

>tfw stuck with dial-up until you graduated in 2007

Parents were cheapfags. But now they use the internet alot.

...

...

emulation and pirating got me into collecting video games. And they say piracy is bad.

...

Emulation just makes me wish I had all of my old physical game copies

I really hope that guy's making all of that up, otherwise I can see why he's on /r9k/.

>when the DL didn't work correctly and you had to go through extra loopholes by reading modding sites, tampering with Windows settings and dowloading a bunch of .dll files
>tfw it worked perfectly afterwards
I felt like a fucking wizard

Piracy was always normal anywhere

>game files can be opened with notepad

DC++

This. I grew up with hundreds of copied disks.

>1998
Right here.

...

>Millenials
look up what that word actually means and get back to me

It's only going to get worse, fellow jaded, cynnical men.
I'll be 25 this year and I already feel as if I'm 60.

At least your parents aren't so cheap they make you use mobile phone tethering to even access the internet

>discovering lewd mods

I've always known that so instead here is mfw I discovered that there are actually people who pay for vidya.

>~5 years old

Too bad that fucking casual never made it out of Onett.
