This is where we fight back. This is for the resistance.

Tired of hype trains? Tired of everyone saying "just buy it bro"? This is the place for you.

We encourage any and all discussion of how to resist consumerism and alternatives to consumer products.

For example, instead of saying someone should pay $15/month for World of Warcraft, we will suggest they join a reputable community server for free.

Instead of recommending paid VPNs, we will recommend free ones such as: https://riseup.net/en/vpn

Piracy is vehemently supported. Any criticisms of it or defense of businesses will be banned. This is not the place for it; those people can go just about anywhere else to spew their drivel.

Using a program such as Hamachi, players are able to connect with each other in LAN games even if they're on different networks.

This works by making users who are on the same Hamachi network appear to be on the same LAN connection.

If you want to play a game online with your friends, check to see if it supports LAN.
