  • I’m aware of many things, in this case I just don’t care. They can stop hosting or stop me from viewing their site.
    If asked to go, I’ll go immediately. It is common for sites to ask me to disable ad blocking, I won’t so I leave.
    If it isn’t free then block me from viewing. I’ll stay on the free internet just fine.
    I never agreed sharing costs and will never do so in the case of ads.
    They decided to host, I wasn’t contacted to help share the cost of hosting nor ever agreed to ads.
    They can leave the internet for all I care, it’s full anyway.

    Have you ever asked why don’t they just put these sites behind a password, user sign in or other blocking methods?
    The capability exists in most web servers. Why won’t they do it?


  • Don’t host. No one is forcing you to host a site.
    I host 2 different sites, all content is CC0, WTFPL, or public domain depending on your local laws or preferences.
    There are no cookies, no tracking and minimal, functional javascript … and absolutely no fucking ads.
    I do it for the small communities these sites help and costs me almost nothing to host.
    I still hosted while I was unemployed recently. If I can’t pay for any reason I’ll stop hosting, will not ask donations.
    It’ll be ok, these communities do not depend on the site data and it’s copied all over by now.
    I still believe the internet is a place for sharing freely and will never quit thinking that way.
    Don’t want me in your site? Fine, just tell me and I’ll go. No hurt feelings, no drama, I’ll just bugger off.



  • I started a little after Dark Souls 2 came out, pushed by a friend. Liked it after a while, it took a bit to get used to it.
    Then went DS1, loved it to bits. Used to sit by “hard” bosses, put sign down and help random players trough, usually for hours on end.
    Went back to DS2 and did a lot of coop and PvP. Soul memory was a pain.
    Was there at DS3 launch, same plan but started to do invasions too. Still my most loved of the souls games.
    Between DS3 and ER, did demon’s souls, loved it too although I find it a bit janky.
    By Elden Ring I was there at launch, doing both the game and coop/PvP. Did the DLC. Have not touched the latest game, Nightreign.
    I kinda need a story, item descriptions, NPCs, lore, figure out stuff, etc. to enjoy a souls game.
    I can understand Nightreign but unfortunately it’s not for me.
