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

Yeah, Denuvo registers every version of Proton as a different computer. So when you cycle through a bunch of different versions, Denuvo sees you booting it on a bunch of different computers back-to-back. IIRC Denuvo’s ToS allows for 5 different computers to boot a game within 24 hours. So it locks you out for 24h, as an anti-account-sharing measure. It has hit the spotlight a few times recently, because of the Steam Deck users needing to cycle through Proton versions.

They still pay for Denuvo for Persona 4? What a waste of money.

Atlus, like many Japanese companies, is very protective of their ips, for worse. There is no better

Same thing happened to me with Street fighter 6. I was just trying to get it to run and kept switching proton versions and it got locked.

Folks here are like "everyone uses it. Eventually all gamers realize it's better"

Me, having never even heard of this in my 30 years of gaming: 🫣

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.

It's a catch 22. If everyone uses it, game companies get it shut down, and then it doesn't exist, and then nobody uses it. The only existing methods of piracy are little known. That you've never heard of it is expected.

I was so upset when the vault got dmca'd

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 38 points 6 days ago

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

[-] Wubwub@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 days ago

Omg He's just like me fr fr

[-] Rooster326@programming.dev 3 points 5 days ago

Hopefully less old. We want him to keep them repacks coming

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.

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

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.

I used fit girl for a game I didn't know if my first pc build would run a game I wanted to buy. It didn't work, I upgraded my pc and tried it again and then it worked.

I'm glad they are around now that I'm trying to learn about pc gaming.

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.

As a Loonix enjoyer I prefer a pre-installed game folder compressed in a 7z archive or whatever instead from cs.rin.ru, it just werks. In Lutris.

[-] Harvey656@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Wait fitgirl is actually a female? Been using those repacks for a very long time. A legend among the scene.

[-] Jessvj93@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Yep, she was super happy when another girl came upon the scene, Empress. They collabed on a big release one time and I remember her saying "Girl power!", then not long after Empress had a big ego trip and falling out with the repackers.

[-] Harvey656@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago

That's some lore I didn't know. Pirates and egos, an iconic duo.

[-] jazzkoalapaws@ttrpg.network 4 points 5 days ago

I love fitgirl.

Truly fighting the good fight.
