My most upvoted comment on Lemmy so far is calling him one lol. I think it’s just that it feels like an anti-West “propaganda” account more so than an actual person and normally do not actually provide thoughtful unbiased looks into things without using whataboutism.
Wow haha, as someone who finally got 6144 a few years ago this game really is a true gem and one of the greatest phone games of all time. 12 years ago I bought it on a whim on a lunch break, and it is easily the most played game of all time for me at this point (coming from years of cod, halo, rocket league, etc).
You honestly made my day with this post, my friends know me as the friend who still plays the weird 2048 clone, but I got my son into it too. He finally hit 768 and I was so proud lol. I am still trying to achieve a “perfect” game but the algorithm definitely doesn’t like it. Technically in the top 100 on the leaderboards lol
The problem is you say all that then recommend PIA. Another company known for being shady af. Proton ultimately is still under Europol laws but they have an onion site and you can pay in crypto
You have to find shoppy sellers (I’m bumming off a Dutch friend of mine currently) but google like “f1tv shoppy.gg” should show some marketplaces where you can buy them with crypto/paypal
It does forward your real IP to the search engines so that google doesn’t flake out on me. But otherwise I am not logging anything haha
