Can anyone direct me to where I can do that or how to do that?
Thanks in advance!
Just want to download something a game for, err, free, essentially.
- Grab yourself a torrent client of some sort (Deluge and qBittorrent are my personal recommendations)
- Depending on what browser you're using, I'd recommend installing ad and tracker blockers as a safety precaution. uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger are my personal choices. Considering the hoopla regarding Chrome addons recently, you may need to get on Firefox or one of it's forks.
- I can personally vouch for Fitgirl Repacks as a source of various pirated PC games (they also do emulator packs for PS3 and Switch games but that's another thing entirely). Tested and working cracks, compressed to shit to save on bandwidth. Install times can take a while but I've very rarely had a Fitgirl release go bad on me. Link.
I don't know who this fit girl fellow is, definitely never used it myself, but I heard from a friend that they have reliable repacks for almost every game, so I can vouch for that too. Just takes a while to install if you have shitty PC like me.
Yup, repacks from there nearly always work good. Switch emu games can be wonky but that's the fault of emu, not the repack.
there are a few free games on steam, but steam really sucks these days. the whole steam community got infected with far-right 4ch-like bs. to the point where i just deleted my account. had faith in steam for too long, and always got let down. most recently they hosted a game where you play as /kyle rittenhouse/ and murder immigrants and bipoc people. it's really disgusting, and really awful
like comrade straightpeach said, torrenting video games is a great alternative, and one that is going to be a lot less stressful than playing anything through steam.
then personally i love emulators and roms, i still go back to play so many n64/gbc/gba games, and that's about all i can play anymore due to hardware limitations anyway. there are a bunch of websites to download roms too. software like retroarch makes handling different roms/emulators really simple too
if you really need to use the steam client, then just head to the steam website, create an account, download & install the steam client, open the client, login, and use the steam store to browse for games. it should be clear how to use the client to install games after that. most games on steam cost nazibuxxx tho, and many of the free games have pay-to-play bs built in. if you are on linux, consult your distro's documentation on steam setup (it can vary)
if you have any adjacent questions, lmk
happy gaming!
more of the same from the online community. epic gives away a lot of games, but most of those are boring or just really hollow, lacking substance. it's the problem of capitalist over production just with video games
I honestly think that the games are better, tbh, than they were 10 or 20 years ago.
True, but the amount produced is many times more than it was, so there is many good games now, but 90% of them is just utter crap as per rule. For example go to stream and display ALL new games, theres so many of them and you never even heard or see about 99% of them because they are super niche indie games.
Epic is crap though. Their prices are crap, the are no mods, the only reason entire thing did not fall flat on face is the cosmic amount of money pumped into it at the start and all the free games they are giving out (most of them are complete shit lately).
