We and our 299 Dungeon Partners™ care deeply about your life, health and privacy.

Please take some time to ponder your choices:

Well-hidden footnotes:
[1] Of course ALL traps are necessary, after all a Dungeon™ is there to kill adventurers.
[2] Not at all confusing or bewildering. Will be ignored anyway.

Hope they'll start picking up your comics for that! Or are there any doing that already?

For me those dark patttern contracts for cookies and software license agreements always feel a little like those infamous deals with the devil.

If you put in the effort to get yt-dlp installed and working, you will never need to deal with YouTube mp3 converters again. And if your offline music player can handle .opus files, you also never need to deal with any mp3 converters - just enjoy the higher quality audio and smaller file sizes.

It’s like seedy anime sites and YouTube mp3 converters. They do what they promise - but WILL try to trick you into downloading a virus. At this point it’s almost a greeting.

I try to extract a song and it goes: « free VPN installer tonight perhaps ? » « Free VPN installer tonight, queen ? »

And I’m like: « you sly dog, you know why I’m here. Show me the goods. »

And the converter goes: « ahhh you got me. Worth a try tho. Here you go, king. »
