Yeah there is a flea market every sunday in my city and after it finishes every time I go take a look at what remained abandoned in the street.. Another time I found an original PlayStation.. Never tried to see if it worked though.. Besides I have two modded PS2 and one PS3 so why bother? For the unfiltered textures?

By the way I was not stealing anything.. The one who steal things are the one who sell them in first place.. They stole them from the rubbish bins.. They are a mixture of very low class uncultured working class of my same ethnicity (sardinian) and illegal black sub-saharian immigrants..

I'm not going to lecture you here, but knowingly buying a stolen item is theft. :P

Stealing from a rubbish bin here is not a crime.. People do it all the time and the police does not give a crap about it.. Rightfully so I say.. There are bigger problems to solve.. Like arresting the rumanian screaming whores in the street next to mine..

Oh how funny.. A joke I surely never heard.. Oh oh oh..

Obviously you do not know the fishes take the name from our island and not the contrary..

"The term sardine was first used in English during the early 15th century and may come from the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, around which sardines were once abundant."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardine

But the word Sardinia derives from the sea people called Shardana..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherden

Another name for our island is Ichnusa that means island of the Hyksos..
Another sea people..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyksos

Then lastly there is the name "Sandalion" that means "sandal" because of the shape of the island..

"The name Sardinia is from the pre-Roman noun *s(a)rd-, later romanised as sardus (feminine sarda). It makes its first appearance on the Nora Stone, where the word Šrdn testifies to the name's existence when the Phoenician merchants first arrived.[5] According to Timaeus, one of Plato's dialogues, Sardinia and its people as well might have been named after Sardò (Σαρδώ), a legendary woman born in Sardis (Σάρδεις), capital of the ancient Kingdom of Lydia.[6][7] There has also been speculation that identifies the ancient Nuragic Sards with the Sherden, one of the Sea Peoples.[8][9] It is suggested that the name had a religious connotation from its use also as the adjective for the ancient Sardinian mythological hero-god Sardus Pater[10] "Sardinian Father" (in modern times misunderstood as being "Father Sardus"), as well as being the stem of the adjective "sardonic". In Classical antiquity, Sardinia was called Ichnusa (the Latinised form of Ancient Greek: Υκνούσσα), Σανδάλιον "Sandal", Sardinia and Sardó (Σαρδώ)."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardinia

Another word that derives from the name of our island is the "sardonic" grin..
"Sardonicism is "the quality or state of being sardonic; an instance of this; a sardonic remark."[1] A sardonic action is one that is "disdainfully or skeptically humorous" or "derisively mocking."[2] Also, when referring to laughter or a smile, it is "bitter, scornful, mocking". Hence, when referring to a person or a personal attribute, it is "[c]haracterized by or exhibiting bitterness, scorn or mockery"

"Both the origin of the concept and the etymology of the word sardonicism is uncertain, but it appears to stem from the name for the Mediterranean island of Sardinia. The 10th-century Byzantine Greek encyclopedia Suda traces the word's earliest roots to the notion of grinning (Greek: sairō) in the face of danger, or curling one's lips back at evil."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardonicism

Hope you will not say such a stupid joke anymore because of my explanation because you look like a 11 years old idiot kid..

lighten up

And stop being so judgemental of others. I don't think someone who practices theft (regardless of if the police care or not) should be casting aspersions on other people, especially with racial overtones.

The only one acting like an eleven year old kid here is you, and that's saying something in this forum.

She's the one with the moustache.

Oh slow down.. I never said I steal things.. Slow down.. Really be careful.. I only said I picked up something discarded on a wall after the flea market closed down..

And there were not racial overtones.. First because races do not exist but only species and then I only said the truth.. That market is illegal in the first place.. Is organized in an illegal way by people who are lowlife, who steal everyday, who are routinely arrested for theft, drugs and domestic violence.. If you do not know what I am talking about because you do not live here just shut the fuck up because you do not have the right to talk about things you do not know before informing yourself and then saying I am a thief..

The black illegal immigrants steal.. It is the truth.. They are routinely arrested for drugs, theft and illegal working and housing.. If you do want to be an hypocrite be one but I am not saying anything not true..

Also I am not discriminating against their ethnicities because there are many and also because I have said also the sardinians like myself steal.. So why should I be called a racist because I say the truth? Are the black people immune from criticism because they are poor, black and come from Africa? I do not fucking care about that or them.. No one is forcing them to come here.. They pay people dealers to come here who in turn create prostitution rackets, drugs network and stuff like this IN MY CITY.. WITH THEIR MONEY who they should better use to enhance their countries instead of running away at the first problem..
I do not know if you are really from Vanuatu but some day ago arrived in my city another batch of 1000 illegal migrants.. We have already 100000 of them here.. We are a poor region, we do not have the infrastructures and the money to give them house or work.. Also you probably do not know that Italy is in fact the only country that houses migrants with Greece.. Every other country does not give a shit about it.. Like Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Spain shoots them, Malta simply ignore the ships.. So do not lecture me.. I simply want my city to be mine with my people and not every other ethnicity in the world because it is simply not possible.. What the hippies say is not real.. They are too drugged to see the truth that there are not jobs for everyone.. I myself am unemployed because everytime the people the italian capitalists hire are chinese, pakistanis, bengals, sri lankans, africans, arabs, philippinos.. I want to work myself but there is not place where to do it.. My people is forced to emigrate to other countries like England or Germany because of this..

Do not know if you know but a sardinian guy was killed in England while searching for a job sometimes ago, a venetian couple died in the Grenfell Tower fire.. They were too in search of a job..

So 1) do not say to me I am racist because that is not true, 2) do not say I am a kid because I have experience of living in poor conditions and know the world and the people..

Also the one who was racist was Kleetus saying stupid jokes about my people and saying the sardinian women have moustaches.. No surprise seeing what they did to the original population of Australia being a cunt..
At least we did not kill anyone.. We are natives of our land.. We did not wage war to anyone..

Iain: With something like this you could buy the originals from eBay as they are pretty cheap now (I picked up NOLF 1&2 and Contract Jack for just over £10 in total a few month back) then download these files, that way you can genuinely justify downloading these versions as they work properly on new systems as the originals can be a bit funny to get working properly, granted not as bad as some games from that era!
Legal-shmegal, I prefer to look at things from a purely practical point of view: If you buy such an old game from eBay, flea markets etc., then the developer, original publisher, or whoever the current rights owner is, won't see a single cent of your purchase. To them, it's really no different from a pirated copy. ( And for what it's worth, a quick internet download is also better for the environment, compared to ordering the game by mail, from who knows where. ) Games were created to be played and enjoyed by people, and if the current owners are making zero efforts to make these games available to the public, then it's perfectly fair to acquire them through other, less official means. There's always the option to buy a legal license later on, if they ever make the game available again.

CharlesGrey: And for what it's worth, a quick internet download is also better for the environment
That's why I pirate games, for the environment.
Oh my, the holier than thou attitude of some people. I have a news flash for you, buying second hand games is also a grey area. That's why GOG can't just sell Command and Conquer, and then send the money into the void to EA, hoping to not get sued.

If we are to get pedantic about it, the only legal transaction is you paying money to the rights holder, or to entities approved by the rights holder. From a law point of view everything else is illegal. Grey area, in this case, is just an invention to cover things that are not technically hurting rights holders.

EDIT: Or maybe I just misunderstood how things work, in which case somebody more knowledgeable from the GOG community will correct me.
