I wish it was a sequel instead of a remake but remakes are much easier for a business to justify.

Not for me…

That still involves a process where my butt hole gets wet.

I remember a Reddit post talking about how predatory this game was

I don’t like the wet feeling.

Honestly reddit.com/r/usenet was the best but we know how that’s going. You can web search but basically you pay for a provider, sign up for indexers who are like torrent trackers and provide .nzb files. You use either SABnzbd or NZBGet to download the actual files. Sonarr and Radarr are automation tools. There’s some other concepts like retention and backbones but that’s not as important to get started.

https://frugalusenet.com/ is a good provider to get started. https://www.nzbgeek.info/ and https://nzbplanet.net/ are good indexers for beginners. I recommend SABnzbd over NZBGet as I don’t think get is actively being developed for anymore.

https://trash-guides.info/ is very good for Sonarr/Radarr set up but it can be quite overwhelming for non-technical users or beginners.

I also just remembered cache exists so poke around https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:ZU9NxnpPelwJ:https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/wiki/faq/&cd=10&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

I gave up on torrents a while ago and just focus on Usenet. It cost money (~$3/mo for a provider and another ~$2-3/mo for indexers) but it’s encrypted and doesn’t rely on P2P.

Also don’t forget that DVDs exist if you want to go a more legal route.

TBH I usually just search reddit soccer streams and something comes up. Just be sure you’ve got browser protection.

You also aren’t reliant on someone else running an instance that could go down at any time, either permanently or an outage.

You have to worry about it yourself though.

I’m gonna be honest, stop now. Picard is not a good show.

Why? It’s a less mature platform with less features and not enough content. I get the idea of it being attractive but it’s like Mastadon without the content you’ve got an uphill climb.
