I semi agree. I have a shitty DSL connection but even with 5MiB/s downloads, a game will be there in like 2 days or so? And that is totally fine!

I get 3rd world countries, my standards are just low end normality in many parts of the country.

But still, games are huge and this leads to 1½ or more of disk usage. Repacks often save less than half the space, so if you want to share it and also use it at the same time, you will keep the repack and waste a lot of storage space. I have 4TB now and even then run out of space. I would very much prefer having the files there, linking (or copying, doesnt matter on BTRFS) the files to my bottles sandbox and using them there

Yess. Getting torrents from the website only makes sense. Pretty sure jackett supports it too

Good one, I need this

Lol

Cool stuff. I did that with a USB stick which is objectively better but has less swag (as it is smaller lol)

I dont burn, I rip with MakeMKV, reencode with ffmpeg using a denoise filter and svtav1 with strong compression.

That reduces filesize to about ¼ or less and makes it shareable with anyone, many times.

I love digital media
