This keeps happening to me when I open certain windows. Why?
you probably fucked up some window file.
Had the same thing happen recently.
Basically why I stopped pirating after starting my first job.
Pirating shits is so tiring and money saved from pirating really doesn't worth the time I would have to waste for said pirate version to work.

I remember laughing at the guy that puts stick notes on his webcam. but holy shit after hearing what happened with discord, I've learned to mute my mic every-time I turn my computer on.
I also think this is why web-cams have a light next to them, just for this paranoia.
>friend gets his PC ransomware encrypted from a game he got from TPB

Tip one, avoid TPB because it's unmoderated and anyone can become a VIP or Trusted in 5 minutes.
Tip 2, the uploader isn't a signal of anything. Look for comments and whether the torrent itself is trusted.

Fit girl just takes cracked games from scene groups and compresses them.
Why don't these groups have their own official sites so I can go to them directly, rather than gamble on fitgirl making a repack?

Task manager is the number one anti virus tool. Just having it running all the time stops most virus from attempting to run.

theres a glitch where people could access your mic/ your mic would auto connect to random servers/ or you would just generally never leave when it shows you leaving.
I never fap unless my mic is off.
Did they ever get GTA V properly cracked? I remember it crashed every few minutes.
There's a virus that you can get on Discord that will turn your webcam into a going into games machine and force you to go into a game of the hackers choosing.

funny I thought mustards used pirating as a go-to reason why PC gaymen is """"superior"""". Looks like it's just a huge headache with a bunch of risks. Don't you guys just play mobas, indies, ports, and 10+ year old games on your $2000 machines anyway? What's the point of all that expensive hardware then? For 60 fps 144k in Dwarf Fortress?
People used to be able to remote access your webcam and mic if they were in the same group you joined.

Avast used to be good.
but like said.
Simply don't go on shady sites. its nearly impossible to fuck your computer up nowadays.
Google alone idiot proves the internet for everyone.
8 onwards has an annoying-ass "routine maintenance" flag that wakes the computer from sleep to do fuck-all.
Mine would do the same thing, I never noticed until I started going to bed right around the wakeup time, disabled that shit and now it stays asleep all night
And the goddamn power bill still went up
No.
I know you're joking, but people honestly assume its some normal background program.
I just keep going through the trials of the reputable ones. They seem to reset every other month if you've uninstalled your expired one while using a different one.
Mcaffee is malware, btw. That shit does not like leaving your computer and also installs seperate programs like Web defender that do nothing but slow your pc down and collect data.

My friend had a ethernet cable that'd show when the computer was active and on the network and it only ever went off after he installed Linux, it'd always stay on when Windows was installed (he turned his PC off, it probably also ties in with the gay flagshit)

I wish she would use GOG games when they're available. Like, her Kingdom Come repack is based on a crack. Why do that? The drm free version is right there on GOG. It's better performing and doesn't even need a crack. She makes me nervous sometimes.

God I loved reliving Zoids CC.
your mouse has a dpi higher than the resolution of its sensor causing it to jump around randomly
thats matte coating.
Matte painting is basically painting backgrounds in a optical illusion technique that ends with it looking like a 3D space.
Its likely called matte painting because it can't have any reflective tint to it or it will spoil the effect.
This is in a lot of old movies.

you did install the fix right?
It shows you everything that's actually running, rather than what windows thinks you need to know is actually running
and it includes a nice thing that automatically googles/checks a process on virus total and tells you if it's known to be malicious or not
It looks ugly as fuck but it's functional, which is more than I can say for windows' task manager.

This is actually a sign of having been compromised, hackers optimize your pc and close down security breaches so they stay the only one in your pc.
Literally the only crack that exists that worked with the DLC I wanted to play.
Fuck no. Those chinks already modify every game to have their watermarks everywhere. I got Halo 2 from them and the game was all fucked and non responsive to mods because it was so different from the standard game. Who knows what else they do.

If a game wants to run as admin, it's to make the antivirus not respond to it.

It's not like they're the result of generations and generations of the craft being passed down. They maybe had one person who showed them what to do who had figured everything out for himself.
they basically are.
Like not to sound all boomer, but we live in a generation that is majority unfamiliar with creative hobbies.
wew lad that's a thing i didn't know
so, what way is there for me to find where the miner is?
it's much cheaper to get a new motherboard than a graphics card

>>tv loses signal when looking at it directly from a certain spot up close
I have the exact same effect on radios, alarm clocks, and old t.v.s. in my house.

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of traditional arts that are dying out as the universities shifted focus to more easily made forms where the emphasis is put on concept rather than the actual creation(which makes the courses they offer more appealing to rich kids who don't want to put in effort), but the point was that the guys who made the kaiju suits in the 60's didn't have hundreds of years of teaching passed onto them because film is a very new artform.

Clearly, you just get rid of the infected files after ending their tasks, followed by a scan from Norton AntiVirus.

technically speaking though those arts were borrowed from other arts. Once painting is lost, backgrounds will be lost as well.
Yes, that one, I was a toddler and got a pirate version from my uncle, I couldn't afford games back then, I was like 10 years old, 1990.
>Clearly, you just get rid of the infected files after ending their tasks, followed by a scan from Norton AntiVirus.

THAT MIGHT BE A VIRUS! Do not pirate games. And update your system to Windows 10 and make sure you install all the updates : )
As much as I curse the internet, I cannnot imagine having something like that just bug you for the rest of your life.
No wonder people would risk falling off the face of the earth just for a better trade route. We are insanely curious creatures.

The time it takes Steam to launch every time takes longer than copy-pasting the crack files. The time spent on the digital shops is about equal to the time searching for a torrent.

With airwaves this makes complete sense as you are interfering, but this tv got its signal through a cable from the media box.

Maybe the pennies you saved by pirating the game aren't worth the heart failure later in life from giving yourself paranoia, just sayin
There aren't that many scam torrents, but a lot of proxies will add fake torrents to popular searches and make them look like they're exactly what you're looking for, except it's a 10 Mb virus with fake comments.

Essentially I intended to make a faraday cage out of my body. Figured if i remotely interfered with whatever was in that tv it had to be a field of some sort so i tried closing it and it worked.
I assumed the tv's decoder was about where you would have to look at, which explained the spot you had to be in for the trick to work.
I would also work on only two channels.
The weird part was that this stopped working after a while. The issue reappeared a few days later and my colleague recorded it, but without the movements i did. Then it vanished forever.

Think it depends on the game. If it's a cash grab from EA with a bajillion expansion Packs (e.g. The Sims) then it's absolutely worthwhile pirating. That and you don't give any money to a cunt of a company like EA as well so everyone wins!

My teacher said that there is a difference in the way rich and poor people think about money.
A poor person thinks about spending money. Thinks about how to get the best deal, to mitigate the amount he loses.
A rich person thinks about investing money. About where to put it to see the biggest returns.

You aren't a real hacker if you aren't opening up Kali in a VM and running Wireshark plus Packet Tracer to see what's going on.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with this, but there are these practices of chi kung and Zhang zhuang, it's some chinese exercises that increase your energy, they consist on making slow body movements or static poses, I found it curious that you actually invented a pose that somehow isolated your energy.
Seeing the description of what you made and by what I remember of what I have learned on yoga meditation, I think you simply closed your energetic circuit, which may not necessarily mean you isolated it, but this is all mystical stuff and may seem nonsensical to you.

i dont get pirating music. just searching the song having it play instantly versus dealing with torrent sites for every song you want to listen to, which would be thousands in my case.
>game pirates you
Why not use tommorow mode?
ha i remember when i was like 12 and pirating music was more dangerous then pirating games but thats long time ago
Source music is dramatically better than what you will typically find online. Especially youtube.
It also lets you assign affinity for specific processes and save it, warns you whenever a new service is created, tells you how much disk activity each process and service is using and a bunch of other shit.

how do you take a screen cap of your mouse?
yea, it does sound tedious, especially compared to literally typing the song and having it play.
There's no difference to the human ear.

After you download a song, the process is the same, but faster.

There's no discernable difference, mate. Get someone to give you a blind test. Do it 10 times in a row to make sure. Nobody can tell the difference.
unironically more danagerous to pirate music than anything else.
The human ear can only hear 10fps
I think I know what is referring to but its so obscure I can't find anything about it.
Youtube had to recently update their audio shit because of complaints about this.
its barely gotten better.
>One day a mischievous mod is going to slap a screamer in here that has a ten percent chance of going off whenever you post so there will be a subcommunity that will never believe the unlucky.
you know you can check what was entered right?
generally you use bat files as a form of portable shortcut, so it's probably fine.
They only did it to like one or two games and if you try to edit the file that does it it breaks your game, which is undeniably shady but reddit is eternally pissed with igg because it snitched on some other warez site or some shit so they pretend it's worse then it really is.
There's no noticable difference between YouTube rips and source flac files. I know my shit so stop trying to fuck with me.
I will never understand the appeal of having a million fucking icons on the desktop instead of a folder
Being unable to understand others is a sign of autism.

It's a very subjective experience, some people notice. Tbh the best audio experience I had was from some asus soundcard I bought eons ago. Nowadays I have theoretically better equipment and it doesn't sound as impressive.
when was this glitch and are there any sources on it? couldn't find anything on google
>chi kung and Zhang zhuang
I'll look into those, thanks!
I tried keeping a consistent tone in the discussion, but the truth is that tv event opened my eyes and I started looking into a lot more than science for understanding.
My issue with knowledge beyond conventional science is that people interested in it are either insane, quacks or too mysterious about it.

I'm 100% dead serious, like ignore the rest of the thread. There was a glitch that discord would turn your mic on, and it was freaky as shit when people found out. I only keep using discord cause the quality.
Be careful with that shiet, nig, don't become religious, just meditate or do these things I said, I know the tales of some people from /x/ who joined some hindu spiritual website and horripilant shit happened to them.

Can confirm this shit happens with Discord. And this "glitch" still happens with some servers.
Friend of mine was playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R and didn't even have Discord open or running and suddenly it streamed his game on a random server
Discord is shady in general and I wouldn't use it if I were you.

Except that warhammer's pirated version runs better than the original.
I so badly want to just click and drag select all and plop them into a folder
There is a fucking massive difference if you have even "okay" headphones, my guy
Unless the flac file is bullshit or 128kbps "upscaled"
Discord sells all your info to ad companies and probably records you even when you're not using it.
Your neighbor IS the fbi and he knows what you've looked at. He's got your back.
Run a blind test and see for yourself.
So basically epic's game store but useful.
You have my curiosity
Not him but I already did. Downloaded a bunch of songs from youtube, then a bunch from bandcamp/game ost rips and mixed them up and put them into different folders.

Chances are that you caught it somewhere else and not from that game.
Also holy hell people are pussies nowdays, pirated shit is almost always curated by community hard, you have higher chances catching random shit on your favorite porn site than from a pirated game.

No but discord usually automatically opens up.

Is there a video on this?

I remember first finding that crack
It was years ago, I was using a Windows XP Vn and wanted to test if it would run Source
So i wanted to install l4d on it
I booted it up, and this came up
I deleted the entire VN
VM not VN
igg snitched on based godgog.
But everyone with half a brain can pirate without problems except if it's some obscure game no one is seeding, i really don't get these memes on how pirating is so difficult, time wasting or dangerous.
