God bless Fitgirl

Wait fitgirl is actually a female? Been using those repacks for a very long time. A legend among the scene.

The repacker* is great but there’s also ElAmigos and DODI.

They crack, she repacks

This is just not true. Both DODI and ElAmigos are Repackers.

I only use DODI when there is no Fitgirl release. DODI torrents are always behind spam/scam link gates and the installer is horrible. In the DODI installer to start it for some reason you have to press the up arrow or something. Just... why? It's like he saw that feature on his phone lock screen and decided to add it without asking himself what purpose it serves. The installer is also totally broken if you have changed windows scaling so every time I want to use it I have to go into the properties and disable scaling.

i'm surprised, i just thought if you couldn't afford a game these days you waited till it was 90% off on steam

I thought there was something like patient gamers who only played games a year after release or something like this but I can't find it

Steam doesn’t release every game in every market, do they?

[–] JokeDeity@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That's me, I have a MASSIVE wait-list on Isthereanydeal.com and buy most games at around $5, including triple A games, assuming I haven't already gotten them for free from Epic, Amazon or Good Ole Games.

However, if I know it's NEVER going to go down or it's from Nintendo, torrents all the way.

I've had a lot less of a desire to pirate games after moving to Linux full time a few years ago. But FitGirl has been the one reliable place for public torrents, compaed to chancing it on the third Google Link or scrolling through the Russian CS-Rin-Rulette forum to find links.
