I apologize if this is already answered somewhere but I’m curious what exactly a fitgirl repack is? I know it’s a pirated version of a game but like is it just an installer or something? And if you imported the game into steam for example can you be “banned” or VAT (idr the term)

        Has anyone done a true up between those and a system specific hw monitor? If I was going to hijack CPU and download a shit ton of malicious binaries I’d want to obfuscate that, and adding a CPU monitoring window with fake values is a great way to deflect/create false confidence

      Idk man dodi’s releasees seem to have the same size as fitgirl while also install faster and less CPU intensive when installing

        No way we’re downloading the same repacks, it’s rare to see anything as small as fitgirl’s releases in my experience. Your CPU had better be ready to step up to the plate though.

        I’ve had random errors, lock ups, etc. with Fitgirl’s repacks, however Dodi’s repacks have been incredibly smooth. Miles Morales installed in less than 4 minutes, using his repack.
