Catch me on the corner selling server.jar out of a long trenchcoat.

People don’t even want you to play a video game in private now.

"Gibbons cut in: “They’re illegal. They are not in any way affiliated with Microsoft. Microsoft, for Minecraft, has gotten a lot of criticism because of those community servers not employing the same safety standards that Microsoft does on their Minecraft servers.”

      I’m not gonna call bullshit on them for having a shitty website, lots of IT people are too lazy to make a good website; hell the entire open source ecosystem runs on IT people with shitty websites.

      I’ll call bullshit on them by invoking Hitchens’ Razor on their argument: What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. This is extra ironic considering Hitchens’ many unsubstantiated criticisms of socialism.
