I apologize if this is already answered somewhere but I’m curious what exactly a fitgirl repack is? I know it’s a pirated version of a game but like is it just an installer or something? And if you imported the game into steam for example can you be “banned” or VAT (idr the term)

    Well to be fair compression/decompression is EXTREMELY CPU intensive even on newest hardware. It was always that way and will always stay that way probably. The more you compress the longer and more CPU intensive it is to decompress No matter if your pc is 10 years old or if it’s a rack server with newest hardware

      The thing is that it takes a complete ignorance of the concept of compression to suggest that a Fitgirl repack is designed to overheat a CPU when that’s just how decompression works.

      Fitgirl repacks also aren’t nearly as lengthy as he says. Between the time and the inane take on decompression, evidence points to this guy having a shit computer and thinking it’s everyone else’s fault.
