!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

But then the potential viruses. How would someone go about locking down their ship?
Edit: I guess a separate hard drive would do.
if you only use reputable crackers/repackers youre not likely to get a virus. fitgirl is my go to. she has so many games the only times she hasnt had a game its been a very niche indie title, and buying those supports real developers not scummy ceos and investors. ive been torrenting games for decades at this point and the only times ive gotten a virus is downloading a new release from some rando.
But any file could say "FitGirl" and its not like some person or organization will vouch for them due to fear of being caught?
no she has a website you can go get the torrent from the source. yeah there are fakers but do some due diligence and youll be fine.
It is important for anyone reading this to realize two things:
Just an FYI, viruses don't care if they are on separate drives.
