Mao forgot to purge some g*mers or whatever, idk I’m not a history expert.
I’m kinda dumb and don’t really know how to pirate safely, I used fitgirl a few times, and a direct downloader once or twice, and I got the email thing from comcast saying they got mad at me, and got too freaked out
Someone recently made a piracy 101 two part thread here on the lemmy that’s a good place to start. Using a VPN should keep you mostly safe AFAIK (I’ve been torrenting with one for about a year and haven’t run into any issues). I’m far from an expert though so I’d give the thread a look.
I definitely second pirating CDPR’s stuff given their scummy labor practices, if it’s feasible. And honestly, more broadly, having access to a wide range of human culture and art separate from the material barriers set up by the profit motive/commodity form is just incredibly liberating and humanizing. Piracy is (95% of the time, try not to pirate indie games and the like if you can afford it) dope.

nice. I’ll be borrowing this.
What VPN do you use? I mostly avoided them due to being poor and not being able to afford a monthly fee.
Fitgirl is the way to go right now for the least amount of hassle.
You get emails from your ISP mainly by seeding so if you download a torrent just make sure to stop the upload after it finishes and close out of the torrent software completely.
