Part of the issue there is actually the 360 controller, from my experience. It has one of the worst D-pads ever made. That said, platformers and fighting games are typically the only ones I use a D-pad on anyway, so if you don’t play those you’d likely never use it.

I had Squeak Squad on the DS and played through it many times. I’ve been playing through some of the others (still don’t have the recent 3D one), and my biggest complaint is just that I’m not the target audience anymore. Haha. Some difficulty settings would be wonderful. However, whenever I want to turn off my brain for a bit I’ll boot up Triple Trouble or Amazing Mirror sometimes.

I’m trying out Thunder and it is going well so far

Might be a bit narrow, but if you wanted to make some pickle spears it should work.

I like to do a fridge pickle (always gets eaten within a few weeks, so spoilage isn’t a huge concern). Something like this pickled jalapeño recipe works with most veggies, and you can use some whole black peppercorn and mustard seeds (or a pickling spice mix) to give it that pickle flavor.

I think I’m OOTL. An ant-fascist statement from them is wonderful, but what is their association to the Potsdam incident referenced in the statement?

Edit: is it just that they are a German company?

I have gotten whole cases of CD-R’s at yard sales and thrift stores. I do not own a single CD-RW. Even when I purchase them, the CD-R’s are so cheap that if I mess up I can just toss the error and still come out ahead. If I needed to overwrite it frequently I would probably just use a different media if available (like a USB drive).

I think I remember them mentioning that the replicators can’t make very complex items, like a layered alcoholic drink. That and honestly a lot of people would probably still go just for the social aspect.

I can’t find anything for sure on the webpage, but I haven’t run across a DVD in good condition that it can’t rip. I may just be lucky and not own any DRM protected DVDs, though.

I typically use the beta version of MakeMKV on Windows, but I would have no clue what to use on my Debian machine. I hope you are able to resolve your issue, though.

I’ve been ripping DVDs for several years now and have never seen this issue. What program did you use? I thought most retail DVDs were read only once shipped, so I am not sure how you could corrupt it.

Have you tried playing it in another player (like a recent game console or a Blu Ray player)? It could be a corrupted driver for your PC’s disc drive.

Until someone comes in with a valid option, MyAnonaMouse has open sign ups with a relatively short interview. That was my first private tracker and I passed the interview despite barely knowing how to torrent. I’ve heard invites are easy to come by if you know someone, too. Ratio is incredibly easy to maintain, too.

It is not a public tracker, and as such does not answer your prompt. Just wanted to provide a stopgap until a valid option is suggested.

Specifically for this application, Picroft. It sounds like it might be exactly what they’re looking for. Here is the why-use section. It would be interesting to hear from anybody currently using it.
