Pirating games made me fall in love with gaming again
I've been a gamer for something 14 years. I fell in love with it for the storytelling, that it calms the mind in stressful times, and for all the good times with friends.
But as I got older, the magic kinda faded and the last couple of years I have not been able to enjoy gaming as much. A part of this is that it felt stressful to spend money on new games. If I did get a new game, and didn't enjoy it I felt bad that I had spent a big (for me) amount of money on it. Then it just sat in my steam library as a grim reminder of my failure.
But then I found torrenting, FitGirl, and piracy! And i've downloaded a bunch of games, and can play them without the financial worry. It feels so great, and I came to realize I actually enjoy the games more. Gaming once again feels a bit magical.
TL:DR: Didn't enjoy gaming as much as I was younger. Pirating changed that, and I feel happy.

What did you like so much that you decided to purchase it?
I was wondering what movie/series/video game you liked so much that you decided to buy it?
Mine are a few but two videos games stand out, Mount and Blade and Assassins Creed (downloaded an older version but became a regular).

Why aren't there any ISPs that don't keep logs like VPN providers do?
Basically title, someone explain it like I'm five.
I would drop my current ISP in a heartbeat if I could switch to a more privacy friendly one. Is this just down to regulations? And if so, why don't lawmakers regulate VPN providers in the same way they do ISPs? Are they stupid?

Why are most torrent/streaming sites using the .to domain?
Just curious as I'm Tongan. It's cool to see the Tongan domain being used (it's a small island nation, with a population of like 100,000) but why has it become a popular domain within the last few years?

Can you no longer get WEB-DL's from Amazon and Netflix?
I just came across this pinned post on a certain Private Tracker.
Is this information accurate and how likely is it that streamfabs no longer offers true scraping from Netflix and Amazon?
​
>All Netflix and Amazon 1080p downloads released after 2024.01.24 are now WEBRip, not WEB-DL
>
>As of the 2024.01.24, with Streamfab 6.1.7.0 and changes in ChromeCDM, all Netflix and Amazon 1080p downloads are considered WebRips (re-encoding mode as they call it).
>
>In Steamfab's's GUI, there is no indication whether it is a web-dl (cached keys) or webrip (re-encoding mode). It might be possible to tell the difference by looking at your CPU usage at the time of ripping, however until future notice, assume anything after 2024.01.24 is WEBRIP.
>
>So, if you are using Streamfab, please make sure to name your releases appropriately, i.e. use WEBRip instead of WEB-DL.

For websites such as RTings and CommonSenseMedia, just clear cookies to get unlimited reviews.
For any websites that limits the amount of times you can see things, click the little icon at the top left corner then cookies and clear them.
Common sense media is great, they show how much violence/adult content are in books/games/movies so you can see if you can watch it with a kid

I buy games on steam I'll never play to "collect" them. Its sad that piracy is probably the best option in this case
Ive bought so many games that I really have no intention of playing any time soon, but like to have them there for the future - if I want to play in 5 or 10 years.
Here's an example: https://store.steampowered.com/sub/439/
I played Hexen a LONG time ago, and for $1 Ill buy it to have in my steam account.
With items being removed or changed in the news, I think its just a matter of time until this becomes the norm. Makes me want to just store a bunch of games locally (either pirated or from GOG) - but that would take up a LOT of space for modern games.
Pretty sad.

Hosting an AMA with Dodi himself (from Dodi repacks) on my sub-reddit - r/SteamDeckPirates - on the 16th. All are welcome to come by!
​
Well, a couple weeks back I reached out to both FitGirl and Dodi, hoping to get some kind of interview or AMA happening. While FitGirl (graciously) declined (she no longer does any kind of interview - AMA included), Dodi has said he'd be happy to join in! I've arranged everything with him, and am inviting everyone from everywhere to come and see it happen!
The AMA will be on my sub: r/SteamDeckPirates on the 16th of this month.
​
\(confirmation\)
​
I'm posting this here (with moderator approval) so that anyone who enjoys pirated games, repacked games, the repacking scene, or just piracy in general gets the chance to drop by and ask a question.
I understand my sub is specific to the Steam Deck piracy scene, but obv this is not limited to only that. Absolutely everyone here is welcome to drop by, hope to see you!

One of the many things I love about piracy is not making an account.
