Even so, I thought it was years away. The first one came out like what, 2 or 3 years ago? That was fast, especially considering the first one took forever.
Disclaimer: i don’t know much about piracy and stuff in general but studied computer science so sharing this just for funsies DO NOT TAKE THIS ADVICE IF YOU ARE SERIOUS!!!
Okay so here it goes:
Buy crypto then use crypto mixers to annonymize it.
Use a webhosting site that accept said crypto.
Use vpn for everything preferably more than one routing from multiple countries like one from west then one from east.
If you can use a vm specifically for everything related to your site to make sure things are contained.
Make sure to not upload from the same id’s as the one you use to create site. Make a user account if you wanna upload anything.
Read up on how other such websites are created to figure out if you are missing something.
well good thing you said to not take this advice because it’s not really good.
Don’t use crypto mixers, a lot of them are scams and their usefullness is up to debate -> instead use monero, the actual private crypto that is used throughout darknet.
Don’t use VPNs to be anonymous. VPN are useful for a few things: torrenting, browsing on a public wifi and bypassing georestrictions. they are not useful if you want to be anonymous! To be anonymous, use TOR (or i2p) 3.the VM advice is good. alternatively you could use TailsOS which is more user friendly.
Don’t. Especially if you need to ask how to do it first.
I still go back and listen through the original Arrow Pointing Down/Giant Bombcast up until Ryan's passing. The age of the content makes it downright historically interesting now for their commentary on game releases.
The chemistry of those guys (Vinny and Brad included) is still untouchable, no one can rein Jeff in and play off him as well as Ryan did, and Ryan is by far my favorite person to ever grace that website and podcast, and rightfully so as it was his child with Jeff. Rest in peace.
Assuming the price is exactly the same on both platforms (or even within like $10 if I’m not getting a Steam key from the GOG purchase), I’m buying from Steam every time. Mainly for the convenience of having it in my Steam library, so I can’t just flat out forget that I own the game already when I finally get around to playing whatever it was, because god knows I don’t immediately play straight through the vast majority of games I buy.
I buy it on steam, because downloading the individual game installer files is annoying, and GOG Galaxy never worked right for me on windows.
On Linux, however, Lutris has good GOG integration, so I can just log into my GOG account via Lutris and install literally every game I own (which I have like 100 on gog) without much issue now.
It’s a lot of extra steps, though, and for me I’ve got two separate Linux systems I’m generally running things on.
I don’t disagree with the logic, I just wish GOG had a Linux client. It’s not just about Steam Deck (even though that’s driven a lot of recent Proton development) – there are serious issues with continued reliance on Microsoft, and FOSS solutions offer gamers a way to maintain a freedom they are otherwise likely to lose. It seems like GOG would want to support that effort.
I wonder if there could be a torrent site that is decentralized enough that no one really has significant liability for running it, like Bittorrent itself but for the indexing/curation aspect.
I use Steam mainly because I haven’t found any major issues with how Valve does things overall. It’s been a fairly good experience for many years. Plus, with the steam deck it’s much more convenient to have on Steam.
Now, I’m thinking if the price goes low enough, I’d pick it off GoG to download the installer and store someone just in case. I like the idea of having a backup just in case.
I actually use steam to install the GoG game installers and completely bypass the heroic launcher.
In short, I hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
For some reason I’m on Rogue Legacy 2, cause it’s free with PS Plus Extra. Simple rogue lite, and right now life is kinds stressful so it’s nice to pick up a game that I don’t really need to think about. The mechanics are fun, and it’s been a while since I’ve enjoyed a platformer like this. Also playing Humanity from PA Plus, and it’s excellent. Almost done with it, and looking forward to trying out some of the user-made levels once I’m done with the story mode.
I get all my news from Lyle Rath on Pregame Discharge. He’s told me it’s the only videogame show, so I’m surprised to hear about all these other shows.
I enjoy listening to these podcasts more for their entertainment value than just trying to get the best information.
Podquisition - The hosts are very entertaining as they go over the games they've played as well as news in the industry. Laura also does a great job at reporting news leaks.
What's Good Games - Industry veterans who run a little too high energy go over gaming news as well as games they've played and often get hands-on impressions for upcoming titles.
The Inverted Castle - Fun retrospectives on Metroidvania games of old.
Square Roots - A Let's Play on classic RPGs that goes into great detail on each game across multiple episodes featuring the hosts thoughts and opinions on the games as they play through each section together.
