Pirated games that would otherwise run in Steam with Proton?

Jump

  • Keep in mind with some installers such as Fit-Girl you might need to do things like limit the RAM or tweak the settings just for the installer

    You should also create a new working directory for each game so you don't accidentally delete everything by having multiple games installed into one directory

  • People at work put hot sauce in their coffee

    • You know how it is

  • You use Lutris. You can select the executable and run whatever installer then just select the game's executable and make tweaks as required.

    Lots of tweaks can be found by viewing the Lutris install script.

    The whole process is like installing the GOG version of a game. You don't typically use Proton for non Steam games

  • If you have troubles there's always EndeavorOS

    • Is there something like the pirate bay but for direct downloads?

    Jump

  • If you are using direct downloads you probably don't even need Tor. You should avoid torrenting through Tor. It puts unnecessary strain a volunteer network

  • It depends what you are looking for. NES Roms? You can use Internet Archive and a download manager. Some romance playlist you made on Spotify and now want to burn on a CD? You can use a converter that will fetch MP3 files from YouTube.

    The megathread is the place to look.

    You may want to look into Usenet. There is a price involved but it's not significantly more than a VPN.

    To store stuff I use large hard drives. Most of my data is on one other device so those drives act as a back up in a way. It's unlikely both devices fail at the same time

    • Far Cry source code has leaked online

  • Would be neat to see an open source engine recreation

  • Parents feeding their baby cola in bottles and smoking while pregnant are two things that usually cause me to make assumptions

    • The US Navy, NATO, and NASA are using a "shady" Chinese company’s encryption chips 😂

    Jump

  • It's an interesting article with a clickbait title but it doesn't seem to say anything new. The US is using what is widely available but there's still a push to move away from Chinese manufactured chips as a precautionary measure despite no known vulnerabilities being found

    • What games were so good you completed them in one sitting?

  • Carrion. I was surprised how much fun it was. There's some nice but not overly difficult puzzles and some frantic bursts of combat
