I mean, she’s never tried to hide the fact that she’s Russian. And she also hasn’t hidden the fact that she dislikes Putin. But lots of Europe is struggling right now. For instance, the farmers protesting across many parts of Europe, as a result of the war and Ukrainian exports.
She called him an old madman in the link posted. She's one of the good ones
Ooo, can I be that too? I would use bad words for these people when I was a kid in 2007, you know, when it wasn't mainstream, but everybody wanted to believe that Russia just has a flawed democracy.
farms are angry because of cheap grains in the market no because of the war
Take it a step farther. Why is cheap grain available on the market? Because European import regulations were relaxed to support Ukrainian grain exports.
In case you weren’t aware, grain is one of Ukraine’s largest exports.

Just would like to say that if you get $3000 in free games over the past 3 years, $5 is nothing.
Without money, piracy sites shut down. Then everyone cries.
It's not a bad thing to throw them a few bucks every few years if you want them to survive.
Price of a cup of coffee.
We all know this is a side hustle. No one pirates or repacks as a main source of income, donations are way too volatile for that.
So no, I won't tip someone for their hobby.

I don't. And I'll be wary about assuming that. If they devote their time and effort to one thing, they're sacrificing being able to do other things. Idk why there is a need to explain that

What's her super secret method that she can't share? Doesn't sound very open to me.
If i remember right from the many years ago i first came across her works, it's a compression method she personalized and finessed over time.
Middle out.
It's like jerking 4 dicks at once
But what's the mean jerk time?
I just had to watch that scene again, I just love it so much
I prefer and default to fitgirl, but I'll admit that sometimes the long unpack time doesn't seem worth the sometimes only 1-5gb file size difference.
It’s primarily meant for people who have slow connections. If you’re downloading a game over DSL or satellite (which is often the only thing available unless you’re in an urban/suburban area) then the 5GB of extra compression could be a huge time difference. It’s also true for metered connections, where you have to pay by the GB, or where you have a data cap.
It's pretty relevant for people who archive too because it can add up to terrabytes of difference if you're backing up everything.
Can confirm, 5gb extra is about 9 more hours of downloading, presuming everything goes well
I think there's likely a lot of people still on slower links that benefit for sure.
But as gigabit and better Internet becomes more mainstream, it's certainly less of a problem for those with that.

Is there an alternative to fitgirl that doesn't have the long uncompress / unpack times? I love that fitgirl has everything and is a trusted source, but the decompression takes too long and sometimes doesn't even work on Linux.
Isn't that like 90% of the point of the repack? To heavily compress things and drastically reduce the download size of a game?
Then I suppose I am looking for a download resources that aren't repacks, or at least aren't so heavy and convoluted on the way they pack.
What I liked about fitgirl is the reputation. A resource I can trust and quality is consistent.
I am also looking for this. I default to fitgirl because its the only trustworthy source in the scene that i know.
Oc i can just try and find a torent myself but with so many fakers out there, people uploading game files even if there is no working crack available, it feels like gambling.
To me that's fair, this is the price of good compression and to me it's worth it.
However what I don't like is the forced admin rights request, which is totally unnecessary. This is the reason I very rarely use their repacks. I know they are trusted, but I chose to not choose them.
elamigos, you can find their repacks on most sites on the megathread

Edit: I was wrong. Dismiss the comment!
~~Was'nt this person transphobic? To me that's relevant. I wouldn't like people giving them support in that case.~~
You're likely thinking of Empress who has a number of personality issues... transphobia definitely being one of them.
Glad to stand corrected!
