Not as much fun as Conway's Game of Life!

It was fun for a while, but the mechanics are so simple it's difficult to really play around with very much. I really love the idea of seeing a little thing like that move without outside help. I used to be obsessed with this kind of stuff, until I gave up after a month or two of constant searching for something complex.

Tangentially related to that: There's an anime series airing this season (Space Dandy) which airs on Toonami dubbed before it airs in Japan. Leaks of the dub have been posted on the main torrent site I use which have garnered some very... strange comments.

I saw the first ten minutes of the un-dubbed, un-subbed, first episode of that. I had no idea what I was watching but I appreciated all the boobs. I thought though, that Toonami was a kids channel? Seemed that Space Dandy would be reallllllly unsuited to a kids channel.

JAPAN!

I don't think accepting something is unethical and believing it to be socially acceptable are mutually exclusive, though. I don't think I'm deluded for thinking I'm less of a douchebag than someone doing the same thing in a different context.

Are there layers to it? Sure. You could be doing much worse things, yes. At the end of the day, you are taking something you should be paying for simply because you want to. Which isn't the coolest thing you could do.

I think this should be something that people who do it don't really talk about. I don't really care that much about it. I will not crusade against it. But holy fuck do I hate watching people defend it.

Nepsotic 01-24-2014 07:54 AM

I'm not defending it. I know it's wrong, but there are defintely circumstances where it is less wrong than it is other times.

OANST 01-24-2014 08:47 AM

Why even bother saying that though? Less wrong? What does that mean? I just want the people that do it to shut up about it. I don't care what you do. Just the fact that they talk about it proves that they feel like they need to explain their actions, which should be proof enough that they really shouldn't be doing it. Keep it private. Don't make excuses.

Well, this is a thread that requested opinions on the topic. It's not like I burst into offices singing about how much of a cheapskate I am.

Illegal leak. Why is this allowed? The real episode hasn't even aired in the first place and this should be illegal under any means.

I wonder what the actual companies think about this when they find out. Please don't let Nyaa become a bad reputation for leaking episodes before they air.
This is my favourite.

i don't think that guy quite gets the concept of a 'leak'. well they do, just in the form of a misguided epiphany. double standards. or just ignorance/idiocy.

Hey OANST I used to pirate stuff and I think it was justifiable.

How's your blood pressure these days by the way?

Was it his mother in high D or rather a high D in his mother?

MA 01-24-2014 10:49 AM

I did consider that. I didn't come up with an answer to whether that changes if I find it annoying. It might. I'll have to get back to you on it.

Varrok 01-24-2014 12:57 PM

I request a topic that requests opinions about OANST being old and fat. It would be okay that way
