Personally I try to not pirate anything. If I download any roms it is of ones that I already owned the game already and just wanna stream it for friends to see (example Legend of Dragoon for the ps1 streaming to a friend on Discord) , or to test the game out before buying it, to see if I would enjoy it. In that case I only play a short amount of time before I decide if I would like to buy the game or if I wanna just end it there forever. I don't support people pirating things in most cases, but I can understand why people would in some cases too.
Also I hope that I will have enough at the end of this month to resume my patreon support for you Andy. I will have to see when I get a hold of the tax return company again. Idk if I will be having to pay the government more than I would get back because my job screwed up and put me as exempt for fed tax for a couple months...
