yote_zip, w game cracks on lutris?
@yote_zip@pawb.social avatar

Most game cracks work just fine through WINE. You just need to get the game extracted into the WINE prefix and have the crack applied, then point Lutris at it and it will work fine. If you find a specific crack isn’t working, you can probably find another that does, or crack it yourself using simple tools that are always Linux-compatible. I wrote a guide on using these tools for reference.

I’ll translate: “I find actions of the 1337x admins disappointing. Deleting my torrents causes confusion for the user base, and these actions reflect poorly on your character, suggesting pusillanimity and insufficient discretion when selecting a sexual partner.”

You know it’s bad when the almost constantly unhinged ‘Empress’ is the one speaking sense.

Bottles as flatpak is an amazing way to run windows dependent software isolated from your main system. Flatpak will automatically bundle Wine and 32 bit library runtimes and bottles packages in DXVK (no need to enable multilib). If you use ProtonUPQT you can even get the bleeding edge GE wine as a runner for your programs in bottles.

I pirate because Steam is a garbage program for playing games and Valve is an evil company. So I pay for games in Steam but will just pirate a Non DRM-Non steam affiliated copy of the game to backup on my own local storage.

Dont be mad at me but I bought the game from GOG :)

They will once they receive a DMCA takedown. Don’t become part of the problem.

This shit is why copyright companies are trying to ruin the Internet Archive. Just upload torrents or use mega.

bblfrnz, w CS.RIN.RU's Gdrive links are down and no longer accessible. Is it just limited to that site or did google do something and screw GDrive for Piracy ?

Just look at the Rui’s signature on the forum since most of uploads were his:

Well, it had to happen eventually. All the google drive uploads from my account are now inaccessible, due to me refusing to pay 10x more for unlimited storage, and consequently Google forcing authorization request for each and everyone of the links. It was great while it lasted. I’ll leave the google drive bypass method here nonetheless, who knows, might be useful one day.

There are better file hosts out there than archive.org

Why not use something else? I know what community this is but still. Internet Archive serves a lot of important purposes and they’ve got enough heat on their back as is.

Seytoux, w CS.RIN.RU's Gdrive links are down and no longer accessible. Is it just limited to that site or did google do something and screw GDrive for Piracy ?

Yup, I saw this yesterday, now apparently for what I can see they are trying to minimize bandwidth downloads and mass sharing of files by the account having to give one by one authorization to everyone that wants to access a file

It’s even worse apparently. Apparently someone looked at where the coins are going, and the coins are going to the 1337x admins, and the uploader is just getting a cut of those coins. Which explains why the admins are unlikely to really care because they’re profiting off their users.

I have severe trust issues with any kind of pirated software so I basically never download it as a result, and shit like this is why. Even private trackers and “trusted” groups aren’t enough for me to download most software.

Steeve,

Do you have any evidence of that?

nowayhosay, w Guess Empress was right this time.

For anyone who’s wondering, I saw within the first few hours there were comments mentioning the weird installer and malware fuckery. The account was VitaminX which I think has since been deleted EDIT THE ACCOUNT HAS NOT BEEN DELETED. Screenshots xposted from a different forum VitaminX user card

For gog games you can check the digital signature on the installer to make sure it’s legit. It should be signed by GOG.

nothacking, w Internet Archive copyright

They will delete it if they get a DMCA takedown request, as required to avoid liability under US law. They don’t however proactively look for copywriten content. As long as the music owner doesn’t care or doesn’t notice it will be fine.

If you aren’t scanning every software you download, whether a pirate torrent or normal direct download, that’s kinda your own fault
