I’ve found TNT to be a safe release group, but I haven’t had much experience with cmacked.com. If it is unaltered from TNT’s original release, I would presume it to be safe.

Software cracks often register as malware. I think it is a combination of an attempt at copyright protection, plus the fact that many cracks are essentially breaking, blocking, or spoofing the registration of the software to allow an illegitimate version to run. Just because it says it thinks it is malware doesn’t actually mean that it will do anything malicious to your system that you didn’t already intend for the pirated software.

If you’re super nervous about it, install it in a VM and see what happens.

dracs, do gaming w Steam in-house remote play (link)

This is pretty similar to my setup except for using a Valve Steam Link over the nVidia Shield. PS5 controllers connected to Steam Link. Steam Link connects to my desktop (over lan, previously PoE worked well). It works quite well overall. A small number of games seem to have issues with being streamed, but they’re pretty few and far between.

I have a steam link box in the bedroom and another in the lounge - controllers just to connect to the link, and the link handles sending the button presses to the computer running the game.

The steam link app on the Shield would work in a similar way. I would suggest to use ethernet if you can, or even a powerline ethernet plug, for a smooth streaming experience

ZiemekZ, do piracy w Where are the downloaded songs in your Spotify program files?

Plz no MP3 btw, there are better codecs like Opus (used by YT), Ogg Vorbis (used by Spotify) and maybe AAC.

thisisnotcoincedence, do piracy w (Solved) Does anyone know if there are still clean DVD ISO rips of Grand Theft Auto IV around?

IPT should have what you’re looking for.

phamanhvu01,

Good suggestion thanks, I already found the needed ISO rip but it’ll probably be handy later for sure.

counselwolf,

ipt?

totallymojo, do gaming w What games have you played due to FOMO?
@totallymojo@ttrpg.network avatar

Diablo 4. Played it for 10hrs then I got bored of running 30m, fighting a group of demons, running 30m, fight demons, repeat. Haven’t touched it since.

MJBrune,

I did that same thing with Diablo 3 and overwatch.

raptir,

They’ve improved monster density, but it’s still just… meh. I picked it up because I didn’t want to miss season 1. I was seriously forcing myself to play it and decided to just quit.

Check rutracker, I see one that has 1.0.7.0 in particular.

phamanhvu01,

Good idea with rutracker, I forgot about that site actually! It’s been ages since I’ve seen actual GTA IV and EFLC ISO installations for real, and download is reasonably fast too. Thanks again!

ayaya,

I have found that most torrents on rutracker are pretty well seeded in general, even the old and obscure ones. It is always the place I go when I can’t find something somewhere else.

That’s because Russians see the value in the collective good: everything for everyone. The majority of the globe just hits and runs on torrents because we got ours, fuck everyone else.

Fucking awesome

This is great, thanks

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

Tadpole7085, do piracy w Some noob questions about seedboxes

Update: Decided to not bother with the extra caution, just use my real IP and payment details.

BrilliantAhra, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 ended up making me regret playing.

There is at least one other dragon that you can talk to who doesn’t have a bad ending. Just because one got a raw deal in the game doesn’t mean the rest did.

QualifiedKitten, do piracy w Some noob questions about seedboxes

I'm definitely not an expert, but I've been using Whatbox for many years without any issues. I'm based in the US and have it set up to autocharge the same card that I use for everything else. I do not use a VPN or anything else to access Whatbox.

I have received plenty of DMCA notices from Whatbox over the years, and they just require you to delete the offending content within 24 hours or your account will be locked until you do.

In fact, I vaguely recall them increasing my storage allowance a few years ago without raising my rate, so that was pretty cool.

Tadpole7085,

Cool to hear! Do you actually need to delete the content in order to comply, or simply stop seeding?

QualifiedKitten,

I've never actually tested that out. If it's content I want long term, I simply download it to my local storage before deleting from Whatbox.

What I've found works best for me when using public trackers for new content is to set up a max seeding ratio and whatever relevant *arrs. Doing it that way means that I've usually been able to download the content and stop seeding before the swarm is discovered/monitored by those sending the notices.

Sharpiemarker,

Dozens of us!

The comment section has become a meme already, but this post reminded me of the pitiful amount of games focused on dragons.

I wish there were more games akin to HttyD/Eragon where you play as a dragon knight, or games where you play as the dragon itself.

People don’t typically do dragons well in general tbh. Even when dragons are secondary to the plot, opting for wyverns the no-armed beasts and calling them dragons. It sort of hurts me inside.

But I agree I want more genuine dragons in my media.

(Side note, I haven’t read the OP as to not spoil myself so for all I know OP could be arguing the same thing so sorry for the redundant point if that’s the case.)
