TLDR: I’m pretty sure he went on to write music for kids TV shows because that’s what he wanted to do. Pretty wholesome.
Exactly. This isn’t explicitly piracy. Just because it can be used as such, doesn’t mean it perpetrates piracy. Some prefer to have a backup for their game installers. That’s all this is.
Have you ever purchased a game from GoG? If so, chances are it comes DRM-free in which case you could legally keep a copy in your “Game Vault.”
This allows you to have your own local copy to download and install. No GoG launcher required.
Phind.com is a great alternative that provides sources.
I still use my first email (Hotmail) circa ~1997 as a sort of catch all. I have several others for various professional purposes.
To be honest, Wizard is the best way to play Avowed.
NASA vs NSA makes this more apparent too. For example:

Oh man, I thought the same. I never saw the movie but I read the trilogy. I stumbled across them in a used book fair and something made me want to get them. I thoroughly enjoyed them.
I loved the first three Hitman games but I couldn’t tell your which were the last three because it’s so incredibly confusing.
I literally just did the same
Well to me, this meme reads like someone assuming Internet was needed to 100% a game, while, at least for me personally and the games I played growing up, 100% just wasn’t really a thing. I either beat the game, i.e. beat the final boss/level, or I didn’t.
I even remembered hating achievements and was somewhat let down when they added trophies in a PS3 patch. I never liked the idea of ‘achievement hunting’ as I felt it detracted from the fun of the game. I find myself doing some of this still today, though I can’t help but feel like if they didn’t exist, I’d be happier.
Though to be fair, I never grew up with a Nintendo or anything beyond a Gameboy Color, not did I play many RPGs, including FF. The closest I can think of is collecting all the Pokemon in the first gen games (never owned any others). But of course, that required multiple versions of the game and multiple Gameboys and/or friends.
Today however, RPGs are some of my favorites and games are an entirely different experience.
You can tell this meme was made by a Gen Z/Alpha gamer because games generally didn’t used to measure ‘completeness’ since that’s primarily measured today by trophies/achievements.
Sure, some games might have shown a percentage on your save file and of course you could find/complete everything in a strategy guide, but even those might not have shown absolutely everything including but not limited to Easter Eggs.
Edit: I grew up with a Sega Genesis, Gameboy, and eventually PlayStations.
It’s likely a bug with the app as I use Sync, though it only occurs with dbzer0, 1 of 3 of my accounts.
I tried to switch, but I had an issue with dbzer0 not marking posts as read which didn’t work out for me.
That’s probably the second “save game” lol
