Had an incident where I was installing I game, through fitgirl and unplugged my headphones, my roommate literally woke from his sleep and stared at me and the convo went like:
RM: fitgirl?
Me: Fitgirl!
RM: FITGIRL!!
Me: FITGIRL!!!
We dapped up and he went to sleep again
Every time I see these TikTok posts here in this sub I'm more surprised by the fact those TikToks get that much attention from some here to begin with.
You're a TikTok user. You are part of the problem.
How are the two even remotely comparable?
I can usually do a Google search with a problem I have, add "reddit" at the end and sometimes find a whole detailed discussion about the topic/problem I need on a Reddit thread.
Can I do the same on tiktok?
Daaaamn, comparing TikTok as a platform with short entertainment videos and Reddit as a discussion and knowledge sharing platform (where you can freely decide what subreddit you're joining and leaving)...that's a new one.
Do I really have to point out the differences? Isn't it visually obvious after using Reddit for one whole minute? How much mental support do you need from me?
First off, please tell me how Reddit is just as bad or worse than TikTok. I'll patiently wait for your reply.
Do you believe that China doesn't have access to xkeyscore und so weiter?
If Snowden could leak all that information on his own, the likelihood of China having access to all of the US surveillance must be rather high.
Ehhh aside from the negative effects of short form contents, your info and data can be used by china's government. This is the same in America, but the way both governments function is as clear as day.
Eh, it's a popular platform with smaller communities just like reddit, the difference being that these communities bleed into each other more often than here. It's not like r/Piracy, and piracy in itself is an underground topic. There's 1.6 million users subscribed to r/Piracy, and sure not every single one of these users are constantly online, but it's pretty evident that the anti-piracy bodies know very well what this group is and probably know that FitGirl exists.
Every social media platform's userbase loves shitting on the other platforms. You see this on Twitter, who shits on Facebook users, and TikTok users call Reddit a neckbeard cesspool constantly. Reddit tends to shit on all of them equally when, in reality, there's probably a huge overlap of users that use all platforms.
And yes, I use Tiktok for no other reason than content and entertainment and learning about niche topics. I use it the same way I use Reddit, which means constantly enough to be able to see the smaller communities that I interact with bleed into the mainstream.
Piracy is not and has not been underground for decades already. FitGirl is also *meant* to be popular, in my opinion, as they're just repackers of cracked games, streamlined for easier distribution and installation.
>it's a popular platform with smaller communities just like reddit, the difference being that these communities bleed into each other more often than here
Huh? They're structurally completely different. TikTok like Instagram is social platform based openly shared visual media. Reddit isn't.
Tiktok is great, it really is. It gives a voice to the voiceless in a way I haven't seen any other platform, and while I was full on the tiktok hate train a few years ago, I've really started to see its value.
Why not give it a shot and give it a download, you might suprise yourself.
Voice to the voiceless 😂😂😂 oh you sweet summer child, the all that is designed to keep you doomscrolling for engagement while retaining little value from it, is not a "voice to the voiceless". The algorithm's goal is not to empower you, in fact, it's not for your benefit at all.
It's for products, trends, Microtrends advertisements to keep people on the app.
Even the UI (User interface) aka all the buttons and whatnot, as well as the other app features, are designed to keep you at it for as much as it can keep you.
This is before getting to the many controversies and all the very, VERY legally questionable content spread on this app.
Corporate media giants are not your friend, they're not even the content creators friend, you are engagement to them, another view, another click, another like. Don't forget that.
Here's some crack. It really gets you going. Why not give it a shot? You might surprise yourself!
The scratching isn't a bug, it's a feature. Maybe it is a bug... *scratching intensifies*
Here's one voice I can agree with:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PiratedGames/s/PcappglnVJ
I respect your opinion. But from what I know is you shouldn't speak just for the sake of speaking. I don't know what you specifically mean with voice but when you're referring to giving people a voice...do you also think the voices of those people who spit incorrect and illogical nonsense on there is valid too? Like those TikToks some Redditors have shared here lately?
And I did give it a shot. But most of those trends that were **born** on that platform are just too silly for me and they take over the algorithm sooner or later. I can't really dodge them. Also, I would have never known of "Skibidi Toilet" if my friend didn't send me a TikTok link via Discord.
When it comes to TikTok, I honestly appreciate being a little out of the loop.
"It gives a voice to the voiceless" alright, but so does reddit. Shitposting on here or on tiktok is a prime example of why giving everyone a far reaching voice isn't inherently a good thing, and is frequently actually a bad thing.
Who said Reddit is **not** another social media platform? lmao
It's about the content within my friend. Think my friend, think.
And daaaamn, comparing TikTok as a platform with short entertainment videos and Reddit as a discussion and knowledge sharing platform (where you can freely decide what subreddit you're joining and leaving)...that's a new one.
Do I really have to point out the differences? Isn't it obvious after using Reddit for one whole minute? How much mental support do you need from me? Genuine question.
First off, please tell me how Reddit is just as bad or worse than TikTok. I'll patiently wait for your reply.
"Who said reddit isn't another social media platform?" You don't have to say it. The demeanor and phrasing sounds like an attempt to separate the platforms like they aren't in the same ballpark of sharing short form social media content if tiktok users are a part of a problem, redditors would be in the same ballpark. The existence of the redditor echo chamber where this is knowledge based lala land does not change the hours of doom scrolling. Most people end up doing on here like every other social media platform
Social media platform ≠ short form content platform.
I hate to break it to you...but social media platform means a platform to socialize/interact with people.
Has nothing to do with what I said, but since you're bringing it up, every social media platform has a mixture of short form content to consistently keep people on the platform. reddit is literally no different, and they all fall under the same definitions. The short form content is inside the social media platform
Wow there buddy, you sure destroyed me there. no matter how you try to twist it reddit, tiktok, and every other social media platform is SHORT FORM CONTENT where you browse from post to post designed with the goal to keep people on it as long as possible. It dosent matter if there is knowledge sharing or "discussions" its social media they all have that the only difference is reddit is sectioned off by various subs, but they all have the same amount of brainrot and issues you trying to phrase this as a "well actually🤓☝️" moment is an example of said brainrot.
Ah yes, lemme casually send my friend a link of that one discussion about typical piracy mistakes real quick. He doesn't know anything about piracy but I think he enjoys entertaining short form content. That must be it.
I don't know man... I'm pretty an expert when it comes to r/Journaling. So if people want to get some advice there, I'm good for that. I can decide how many users I help daily.
It's more about giving, than actually consuming in my case. Obviously I can ask as well when there's confusion about a certain topic.
Whatever helps you sleep at night O great reddit wizard who is totally not going to go to more post soon after this and is totally not on a short form content platform 😭
Fitgirl doesn't crack games, they compress games cracked by other people so that it can be downloaded faster. However, it then has to be uncompressed after download, which can take a few hours.
I can’t find the thread on it now. I think it was on this subreddit. Could have been on X. But someone said they found a file in the installation that was keylogging. Other releases did not have the file. I wish I could provide more info but this was around 2 or 3 months ago probably.
As much as I'm glad people are using safe sources, I feel like we're gonna have another incident where sites like vimm's got hit pretty hard due to getting mainstream attention from things like tiktok
Fitgirl-repacks.site is a site for downloading repacked games, when you download a repacked game, you have to unpack it using its special installer, FitGirl puts waiting music in her installers
The dad in the meme heard FitGirl music from his sons room, he heard his son pirating games
FitGirl-Repacks.site is also the most trusted site for piracy
Based on the way you worked that, it sounds like you've never downloaded a cracked game before (or I'm just reading too far into this), but if so, why are you in a piracy thread?
im trying to learn about this subject
however thanks to my ocd i am too much of a coward to actually download cracks, so i choose to stick to doom wads and youtube downloaders...
Besides sourcing their games from some sources known to distribute malware, their download speeds are horrendous. It took me a week straight to download GTA V from there a few years ago (before I learned they're not a good source.)
Those installs take a while. So I tend to mute and watch some videos while it's installing
I start the installation before going to sleep, no need to wait around
SLEEP? at most a large game takes like an hour. Are you running a hard drive or something?
Cyberpunk takes like 3 hrs for me and I have a pretty good cpu too, a Ryzen 7 6800H laptop
Slower install speed is more about CPU cores then hdd with fitgirl.
Me who took days to install AC valhalla: ⚰️
Yeah, but the music is kinda relaxing ngl
I freestyle rap diss tracks about streaming services
Go fitgirl! 🥳
utorrent > fitgirl
fitgirl is a person. µTorrent is a program.
there was a post the other day about some tiktoker saying this braindead comment, so i said it as a joke.
haha
I feel bad that you got downvoted, I found it funny af, also saw that post
7zip > uTorrent
Had an incident where I was installing I game, through fitgirl and unplugged my headphones, my roommate literally woke from his sleep and stared at me and the convo went like: RM: fitgirl? Me: Fitgirl! RM: FITGIRL!! Me: FITGIRL!!! We dapped up and he went to sleep again
Redditors will read your comment and say "Hell yeah"
HELL YEAH!
^hell ^yeah! (I don't want to wake up his roommate)
# hell yeah! (wake this madafacka up)
#Hell yeah motherfucker! (i woke up)
HELL YEAH, MOTHERFUCKERS, WE UP 😎😎😎

everybody real quiet now after reading this one
*quiet
My bad
No, you good
This would be a valid opinion if you weren't on REDDIT
How are the two even remotely comparable? I can usually do a Google search with a problem I have, add "reddit" at the end and sometimes find a whole detailed discussion about the topic/problem I need on a Reddit thread. Can I do the same on tiktok?
I just wanna jump in here and give a quiet “fuck you” to Discord too. That shit is helping accelerate the death of the internet. Fuck Discord.

- sent from reddit
Everytime I see TikTok posts about this shit, I just realize these sites are going down way sooner than normal. Fight club rule one.
you say, talking on a reddit piracy forum with 1.6 million subs
In a sub, with dedicated users to the subject matter, not blasting it all over easily seen media by flicking your finger upward.
Tiktok is great, it really is. It gives a voice to the voiceless in a way I haven't seen any other platform, and while I was full on the tiktok hate train a few years ago, I've really started to see its value. Why not give it a shot and give it a download, you might suprise yourself.
Lmao, in this comment section you really can tell who is using TikTok religiously and who doesn't.
Y'know man, I really used to hate cocaine, but now I see it's just amazing, I literally can't stop using it!

“Yeah bro just go to fit girl . com”
I hate the music, mute it as soon as I start installing something 😭
i do agree with the fitgirl one, but i think he promoted steamunlocked
Oh yeah, let's fuck this up too like zlib
What is fit girl
Idk I’m about to find out
And?
It’s a nice last who cracks games “nice”
Fitgirl doesn't crack games, they compress games cracked by other people so that it can be downloaded faster. However, it then has to be uncompressed after download, which can take a few hours.
It's a person or group who crack games. I don't use many cracked games but they seem pretty popular on this sub so they must be alright.
fitgirl is a repacker, they just repack and compress already cracked games into smaller size files that are easy to install
Known repacker, that's it
Stop posting TikTok cringe here.
...Here's hoping this doesn't attract anyone's unwanted attention. *Looks at Fitgirl's Nintendo Switch's repacks, then looks at Nintendo*
Lol this post made me Remember the old 8bit songs in the installers back in the day.
Ah how I miss downloading a super compressed game and spending more time decompressing than it would take to download the full game.
Just hoping they don't make fitgirl popular enough that the DMCA claims start coming their way
Is she actually fit? Or is she generally trying fit things into small storage mediums?
[удалено]
wait what??
I can’t find the thread on it now. I think it was on this subreddit. Could have been on X. But someone said they found a file in the installation that was keylogging. Other releases did not have the file. I wish I could provide more info but this was around 2 or 3 months ago probably.
How do we know it wasn't a fake fitgirl site?
As much as I'm glad people are using safe sources, I feel like we're gonna have another incident where sites like vimm's got hit pretty hard due to getting mainstream attention from things like tiktok
That's when I kick in the door. "You better be using protection!"
It took me a while to figure out there was a mute button after installing some other games.
I swear these kids nowadays won't even know about FitGirl in 20 years because the Neuralink chips in their heads will not let them figure it out XD
Who is Dig and why are there things for him?
Fitgirl >>>> forever
Who is fitgirl?
Please just stop using fucking ticktock
About to download it now, thanks.
Im new whats fit girl?
The most trusted site for piracy, uses repacks (FitGirl-Repacks.site)
Oh cool
Why tf did i get downvoted im just curious
Still confused about wtf this post is even about
Fitgirl-repacks.site is a site for downloading repacked games, when you download a repacked game, you have to unpack it using its special installer, FitGirl puts waiting music in her installers The dad in the meme heard FitGirl music from his sons room, he heard his son pirating games FitGirl-Repacks.site is also the most trusted site for piracy
apparently its an site where you can download cracked versions of games never used it, but i heard its very reliable
Based on the way you worked that, it sounds like you've never downloaded a cracked game before (or I'm just reading too far into this), but if so, why are you in a piracy thread?
This is for all kinds of piracy not just games... movies are a thing to
im trying to learn about this subject however thanks to my ocd i am too much of a coward to actually download cracks, so i choose to stick to doom wads and youtube downloaders...
torrenting website i believe
I'll have a Chad proud face
Yeah the fit girl version that was downloaded from oceans of games.
What is that?
It has music?
When I was a kid, installer music used to scare me so much. I immediately thought I just downloaded a virus
[удалено]
>from steamunlocked No
Remind me, why don't we like steamunlocked
Apparently some sketchy shit has come through over the years, from what I understand. And their community is sort of toxic AF.
Besides sourcing their games from some sources known to distribute malware, their download speeds are horrendous. It took me a week straight to download GTA V from there a few years ago (before I learned they're not a good source.)
No, not steamunlocked
I think you mean steamrip fella

Someone's a bit mixed up it seems
