Conyak, (edited ) do piracy w Is anyone else like 10 times more likely to play a game they pirated versus one they bought?

I personally never pirate games. I don’t like dealing with the cracks and the bugs that often come with it. I don’t play more than a few games a year though so the cost isn’t too high. Pirating mostly involves movies and T.V. for me.

I used to avoid it too, but I was less worried about the bugs and more about possible viruses. When I realised there was a crack scene with certain uploaders that are trusted by the community I lost a lot of that worry.

Either Jazzpunk or Octodad: Dadliest Catch

Both had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes at various points.

A russian file labeled as a trojan? It must be perfectly safe. Or at least you’ll learn a valuable lesson.

Aresff,

Are russian files more likely to be malicious? I’m curious.

glad_cat,

In the past (I.e. 90s to 2000), very yes. Nowadays I don’t know, but with the war and the spying stuff, I would still avoid such sources.

Stanley Parable and Trover Saves the Universe are both pretty funny. I’m sure there are a ton of really funny games, but for some reason, they’re not coming to mind.

yeah, High On Life has similar type of humor to Trover Saves the Universe (same developer, both are Justin’s Roiland games)

Callahan’s Crosstime Saloon - (it is now abandonware, you can play it for free) if you have never heard if it but like sierra/lucasarts style games you really should give it a try. Extremely funny.

But also the Monkey Island Series and Grim Fandango?

MrGerrit,

Recently played the Grim Fandango remastered and man, what a fantastic game.

The humor, style and especially the music was great. If you like point & click games, this is one you should definitely try out.

Asymptote, do gaming w I watched 2 hours of starfield gameplay and an hour of review

Sounds like you got No Man’s Skied

banana_havoc,

It’s ironic because no man’s sky does ship combat and ship travel so much better than starfield

There’s a decent write up on how Android ‘dropper’ malware functions here. TLDR - while the APK may be clean, it tries to trick you into installing a malware infected APK later in the install process or during a fake update.

Aresff,

Thanks. That dropper function looks dangerous. However, the first dropper campaign spotted by Threat Fabric at the beginning of October 2022, and this file was uploaded at 2020, so even if it’s indeed malicious, it’s probably a different bad guy I guess.

This reads the same as “hi, my friend saw my {dating app} date’s photo up at the post office with the note that they were wanted for the murder of 16 different {my demographic}. Should I still go on a date with them to that remote cabin in the woods?”

phx,

From a .RU site no less…

Aresff,

Yeah. It’s a lot safer to go on a date with someone who was wanted for the murder of just 1 or 2 different persons to that remote cabin in the woods, isn’t it? :D

Find another source

Aresff,

I searched the entire list of “Android Cracked/Modded App Markets & Repos” but unfortunately no other site has this 1.3.2 modded version.

Malicious files can still be uploaded to trusted sites, but in general apks are well sendboxed so it’s difficult to get a trojan on a non-rooted, up to date Android phone.

What is the apk supposed to be for?

Aresff,

It’s a mod apk file for the game sproggiwood 1.3.2. The file seems to be modded by the site itself though, so if it’s malicious I guess the site is not trustable.

Outer Worlds has a great sense of humor.

UnhappyCamper, do gaming w hardware: use TV as a monitor?
@UnhappyCamper@kbin.social avatar

I used a TV for years. Didn't bother me at all and I gamed on it. Also tvs have built in speakers where as as far as I'm aware computer monitors don't. I suppose not all tvs are the same though so ymmv.

IDew,

Most monitors do in fact have speakers! But they’re either comically small (which sound bad) or placed at weird angles and nobody I know genuinely uses them lol

Giants: Citizen Kabuto

MrGerrit, (edited )

Oh man, this jogs old memories of when I almost every weekend went to this lan game cafe. We mostly played counter strike, quake arena and age of empires.

But at one point every night we would fire up this game and the whole place would turn in to chaos. It was great.

Fun times

Psythik, do gaming w What's the funniest game you've played?

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands if you’re into Borderlands-style games (shoot and loot). I’m not, but for the 45 minutes that I played, I laughed quite a bit.

And of course The Stanley Parable.

It’s really hard to top Jazzpunk…

bermuda,

I know right? it’s so great I reinstall it every few months just to experience it again. It never really gets old

MrGerrit,

Never heard of jazzpunk. Just added it to my steam wishlist, interested to play it.
