I have used IVPN for the better part of a decade now, and for me it’s just that they do the job. Seems like a lame reason I know, but I pay the fee, it does its thing: rinse repeat. I’ve had no issues, no world shaking controversy, nothing. For me that’s one of the best things about it.

From a privacy standpoint, no logs, plenty of servers all around, etc. Someone else probably has a better breakdown of the pros and cons, but honestly my main thing is just not thinking or hearing about it.

It made me a Sterling K. Brown fan for life.

Sam Rockwell is a punk in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Side note: Secret of the Ooze is a very fun movie, and I find it worthwhile to this day!

You bring up a good point about the future of preservation. The world seems hellbent on continuing to use windows for all games, even the ripped ones, but in truth the only real way forward is to not have whatever files we want preserves associated with any company at all.

And I don’t just mean the new and shiny ones. I’m talking everything from Frogger 95 to Elden Ring. Whatever the move forward, it would behoove all of us to find a solution outside of any particular ecosystem. The dot game of file extensions, the usb port of universability which each and any OS can read and play the item.

Course that’s if we don’t get sued into oblivion for even trying, or can survive everything else first.
