    Maybe fitgirl is the bbw porn actress named fitsidney or fitsid for short.

    Both are girls.

    One fucks on camera. One repackage games. Same thing probably.

    Think about it.

    Edit: I’m doing a thorough and deep investigation of her videos for any clues and I’ll report back on any findings.

    Edit2: the results are inconclusive and I’ll need to perform more research. It’s worth mentioning that fitsid is adorable and very enthusiastic in what she does, and is also kind of adorable much like fitgirl’s photo of Amelie. But, like, with cum involved.

    For science to be accurate we need a peer-review, we need all hands on deck for this one.

      I suspect FitGirl is a morbidly obese 58 year old man with a twisted sense of humor.

          Yesterday I tried to mod persona 4 golden on Linux. After a couple hours of headaches and some help from the developer, I finally managed to fix the problem and launch persona aaaaand denuvo shut it down.

          Denuvo literally shut down my legal version of P4G because I used one too many versions of proton. This is why I support fitgirl

          Euy even buy games anymore if you can’t play them?

          If you paid, it’s not really yours.

            Awesome thank you for the tip. I’m not too well versed in networking so I never really dig around in my router settings. I’m just using the Modem/router supplied by the ISP right now and it doesn’t look like it has anything like that from a quick look through the config page.

            Ahh yeah the provided router might not have some of the more advanced features. But suffice to say this isn’t so much a steam problem as it is a “how computer networks work” problem. The way routers work by default tends to penalize “bursty” traffic like loading websites/gaming/voice and prioritize sustained traffic like your download, so it’s nice that valve provide the option to limit the bandwidth. I’m on satellite internet right now waiting for verizon to finish their fiber install and I can’t even use that reliably because my bandwidth changes constantly D=

                Piracy is the response when companies refuse to serve market needs.

                I mean, there will always be people trying to get something for free when they normally have no problem affording it or obtaining it personally. It’s why the Parasite Class continue to drive down wages while raising prices for that sweet labour-free profit margin, even though they already have obscene amounts of wealth. Their boundless greed demands they squeeze even more out of the Working Class whose labour is the source of all wealth.

                So yeah, there we’ll always be some people who will pirate purely for the fish.

                But in the end, any significant piracy is 100% the fault of those very companies that complain about it.

                I am in the process of moving to pc from ps. I wont buy the same games again, it doesnt make sense to me. Where it is cheap and easy I have done but I feel I bought the right to buy them and also I hate some of the features with logins and always on connections.

                  I mean, do you pirate games? If you’ve never gone to a torrent site in your life it’s not surprising, but FitGirl’s repacks are so numerous that it’s hard not to notice them if you do pirate.

                  I am so wary of downloading them though, exe files are scary for fools like me

                    Note plenty FitGirl repacks are lossless; as in, she isn’t taking less important files out of the game, she’s compressing it better. 90GB→35GB seems accurate; you often see ~1/3 of the original size, like this. And it shows plenty game devs

                    1. do an extremely bad job at basic tasks like compression.
                    2. give no flying fucks about players, who might have really slow connections.

                    And then those same developers get amazed at the fact FitGirl is so popular. “Maybe we’re doing something wrong? …nah.”

                    The downside of the compression is the install can take way longer than the download. But if you’re on a slower connection the smaller download would be a big benefit.

                      Back in my day, we had RELOADED, Razor1911, DEViANCE! Haven’t pirated games in forever though, I mostly buy “indies” today and steam + gog facilitate that nicely.

                      I only pirate games that I wouldn’t mind playing but also hate the publisher, or the publisher makes the games annoying to play despite steams easy UI and setup.

                      Games from EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar, etc I will pirate with no remorse and then place the launcher link in my steam library.
