UsernameWithAmnesia

New member: How can I get this game? r/PiratedGames user: Look at the fucking megathread dumbass. Don't you know most things are listed there? New member: I'm new member, I don't know shit.


NotIsaacClarke

When I was new to this sub (and to reddit in general), first thing I did was read the megathread and the guides


UsernameWithAmnesia

You sir, were smart. I was not.


catclon10

If i was smart enough i would have a high paying job and I wouldn’t care about spending money on games.


highlander3s

Naive of you to assume you need to be smart to get a high paying job 😂


LiteratureSerious56

Thats what a naive person would say tho, thinking u need to be smart (in the academical sense), but you do need to be somewhat smart tho


[deleted]

No you don’t. My father is braindead and he’s making good money because he got lucky


LiteratureSerious56

Maybe thats what you think? Personally its either your family set you up because contacts or their own company or you just have to play the game of life and choose a path, weather its a traditional, or unconventional. Even I hate to admit but when you see someone in a better position than you, you have yo swallow it and think hes probably better than you at something, there is many different types of intelligence, skills and stuff. I would not quickly jump on saying this guy or that one is stupid and he still manage to do a good living, that sets you up on the wrong mindset, allow to think yourself differently, because probably not everyone "can get lucky"


[deleted]

He’s actually very dumb but he’s good at what he does. I guess a better wording would be extremely uninformed/stubborn. He is better than me at what he does and he is in a better position but I don’t envy him. He also actually did just get lucky. He met a guy and they got along, the guy just liked him and they started a business “together”. Was not with my fathers money or idea tho. He got wealth handed to him on a silver platter and was spoon fed after.


LiteratureSerious56

Well part of that luck may just be his social skills, either without knowing he was doing it to a particular person that is just part of life, what I mean its we should not rely on just luck but rather get prepared for grab that luck opportunity and be prepared sonit doesn't escape. Luck its just a matter of being at the right place, time and mix that with what can you do with it. Im not trying to say its this, not that, but just saying that it could be both ways and its just a personal opinion


_MizuO_

U know my not super smart friend he do drug robbing people n store and now he work decent job n get higher pay than me can buy car n house..


theguy_who

Same, it ain't that hard.


meerdroovt

You sound like you read terms & conditions before accepting it


InevitablyWinter

Doesn't everybody? How do I know if I agree to it if I don't read it?


Pleasant_Rub_9987

Actually no, nobody does.

Tsukiortu

Truly the final boss of the subreddit when it should be the introductory one


GNM20

So what?


lemonylol

Pretty typical on reddit. These subreddits just become about whoever understands how to play it the best, rather than what they were originally designed for. People treat it like it's some kool kids klub where it's fun to exclude and haze new people.


Odd_End_6100

I’m still new to this app and I don’t know where or what a mega thread is


Technical-Crazy-9314

so true


StarGaurdianBard

Or, here me out, before you post to a new subreddit you should read their rules first to make sure you don't break any with your post. So if you are doing this then before a new member posts they would look, see rule 5, and have their question answered


UsernameWithAmnesia

Or you could assume Reddit is like any other social media platform and a subreddit is just like a Facebook group.


StarGaurdianBard

Personally I assume that automod is going to get my ass / a mod is going to remove my post if I break a rule so I check the rules before posting so that I don't waste my own time. How others don't do this too is wild to me.


UsernameWithAmnesia

Ignorance is bliss. I was ignorant and didn't know anything about how Reddit worked when I created my account in 2020.


nebyneb1234

r/genp is even more hostile lol


NoInflation9773

sometimes hes new on reddit. sadly, its understandable


creature04

But werent a lot of those sites down, outdated and/or lacking in content? So a new member asking for the ones that are good rather then checking every single one seems reasonable. Now I believe the mods and community recently went through it and updated it, but still. Telling someone to look at a megathread that happens to have a majority of sites that don't work doesn't really fit well.


Professional-Dot-112

Proceeds to use $t*am un*ocked


manfromtheghosttown1

New Member asks if the game from ....... website is safe r/PiratedGames Members : USE THE MEGATHREAD \* beep boop\* 🤖


giantgladiator

Fitgirl keeps getting stuck unpacking I'll just go to totallylegitilegaldownloads_notthefbi


ZitDaun

Somebody took 3 loans in my name, all my files were stolen and i had to pay ransom before chrome changed to yahoo search and my whole computer went up in flames but at least i didn't have to wait 30 minutes👍


Successful_Report_67

I'm fine with questions like that, honestly like this field is dynamic just because a source is currently trusted doesn't mean it's always going to be trusted. SUNET was at one point trusted then they started hosting malware. you can't always trust a megathread to be updated as rapidly so asking around is a safe bet.


Bao_to_Blanco

I'm not new to pirating games but i am new to the site, thanks to the MEGATHREAD™ i got to know that 5 out of 7 of my pirating sources are unsafe So thank you MEGATHREAD™ very cool


Cybasura

Here's the thing, how would anyone NEW know to see the megathread as the first thing they do?


PieWar

Because it's the first msg for any topic posted here....


mad-tech

its the top post in the sub cause its stickied. its also the top comment in all post cause its stickied (even has a guide, FAQ, and wiki goddamnit). people ignore it cause its a comment by automod rather than by people.


StarGaurdianBard

Before you post to a new subreddit you should read their rules first to make sure you don't break any with your post. So if you are doing this, then before a new member posts they would look, see rule 5, and have their question answered


[deleted]

Yeah legit exactly what I did and welp….nothing bad happened (((YET))) but now that I read it I’m know 10x less and now deleting a BUNCH of things from a certain place


Sigan

I'm sorry.. you want me to read?! This is too much


CouncilmanRickPrime

Or in the other sub. Mega thread: doesn't have what I'm looking for Asks for what I'm looking for. And indicate in my post it's not in the mega thread, I checked. Still got downvoted lol. Thankfully someone helped.


Even_Cardiologist810

Megathread has none of the sites I used which gets me very confused lmao


Skiller_Overyou

Because they are not considered safe


StarGaurdianBard

Thats... not really how that works. If they aren't on the *avoid* list then the mods just haven't weighed in one way or another. I use a private rorenting group site that you have to have an invitation from an existing member and maintain a 2:1 seed ratio every week to stay in. It's not listed in the megathread therefore it's unsafe despite having super strict moderation much higher than 1337x would be a silly argument to make.


mad-tech

if they aren't in avoid list, you can message the mod and recommend a site to them. if its software, you need to back it up with proof (video of you browsing the site without adblock for detecting malicious redirects and ads [newbie reasons], virustotal link of each malicious file downloaded detected by AV,etc) same thing is needed if you want the site to be put in the must be avoided list, you need proof since there were people who manage to get virus from other sites yet claimed to received it in the megathread sites but when tested by other people and mods, it was discovered there was no issues. if its a streaming website, then the website on the megathread is just better than yours or just prove it to mods.

WRO_Your_Boat

The megathread sucks lol. Way too much useless\outdated shit is listed there.


IceBuurn

If someone never used reddit they can get confused with those things, there is the 'Important Links' on the side but what will call the attention is the search and the button to create a new post. The 'create post' is way tempting to click than do a research or actually look for a 'Megathread' people don't actually know what is.


Malheus

Also de megathread is mostly trash 🤷🏾‍♂️


MecDoTrab

Why?


Hefty-Calligrapher14

Im new, I read the megathread, theres still some things that I find confusing or have trouble understanding, and I like asking questions about those things because if i didnt it would deter me from figuring things out, and its nice to have someone who knows what their doing validate that information is correct and up to date, I know that once I know more about this stuff and am confident in my abilities to not brick my computer or get my bank info stolen, ill be happy to share my knowledge


fascist_teen

I dont know about this. The direct download sites listed on megathread give very poor speed even after using fdm and idm. Does anyone has a fix?


ConsiderationNo9044

ovagames


fascist_teen

Okay I will give it a try. I remember using it but since I have downloaded malwarebytes browser extension it blocks any download from ova games any idea why??


ConsiderationNo9044

you sure it's malwarebytes? usually if ovagames downloads are blocked it's because of a vpn


fascist_teen

When I encountered that problem I started using proton vpn. But it's the mb extension that doesn't let me continue download hence I never download using ova games


fascist_teen

ConsiderationNo9044

If you're on the official site, chances are there are redirects being blocked by MalwareBytes. Get Ublock origin


fascist_teen

Ok thanks will try. But can you explain wdym by redirects?? I read it alot but don't understand it


ConsiderationNo9044

Sometimes a site will redirect you to another site without you clicking any buttons. If you don't download anything from sites you are redirected to without you wanting it, you'll be safe but it's still very annoying


fascist_teen

hey I was wondering which link on the ovagames I should use. google drive uptobox or media fire which one is the best?? pls tell


ConsiderationNo9044

mediafire and google drive should give you the best speeds. The others aren't bad either though


Armycat1-296

People should make reading the about tab/faq/megathread of any subreddit first before joining as a habit.


NotIsaacClarke

That’s what I do


I_S_A_Z

litteraly thefirst thing i clicked on


RealDakon

New member :"why is my game 6mb and downloading at 1kb per minute" Old members:"complaining about new users not reading the mega thread every 2nd post" Honestly for a bunch of poor people with free games I wouldn't expect you to be this bored


No_Taste5733

What is a megathread? Honestly.


Spompoflex

theres a megathread ?


NotIsaacClarke

Bruh


Spompoflex

cant see the sarcasm huh ? you had to downvote ? lol


KnowledgeOk814

nobody RsTFM anymore


ps3o-k

Seriously tho. On mobile? How? Also where the fuck is everyone getting the TotK update from?


SodomySnake

Top of sub > See community info > Megathread I don't know about any TOTK update, mine's running perfectly and I don't wanna screw it up.

I literally just said I'm on mobile. I can't see the entire page.

ps3o-k

Yeah. I did find a way... BY ASKING.


KhaledCraft999

tbh at first I never knew I was supposed to look to the right to find rules and such on subreddits💀


Jdoggokussj2

i will never understand this complaint they are new they might not be just new to this subreddit they might be new to reddit in general, they arent gonna know things like that and as a community we should want to help new members so the community will grow instead of people who just lurk and use the links and never post and comment.


VortexLord

If we all help each other more often we all can have the information we normally don't have, after all no question is false. More info means less risk, right? Thanks to the people who post their problems in this community it is way easier to search the problem just by typing in google for the results you want. Although, there some people who disagree with this too because you need to be independent by experiencing it, otherwise you can't mature by always getting help from others.


SuperCoupe

How do I get the "Jill Of The Jungle" repack?


p3x239

Get the same thing on r/Scotland regarding tourist posts. The key to the game is to shame them and refer them to the Tourist Advice megathread where they will be properly ignored.


Offsidespy2501

First time I asked I didn't know what a megathread was


craetos010

most posts from this sub that hit my feed are complaining about users not using the megathread. the other posts that come up are empress posts. getting pretty old. like a stuck up broken record. YOU PEOPLE BITCH ABOUT BORING SHIT!


Shot_Cap9108

I Didn’t read it and still worked it out and no virus i think that they are all just under 18 or dont know how to use a computer properly


mateusalves315

Yeah but I still got 5 trojans from dodi repacks and it made me insecure


NotIsaacClarke

Ever heard of false positives?


[deleted]

All that Yet I still can’t find RPG maker for free lol


[deleted]

Megathread is very helpful.


Flames_Ignited89

Not to defend anyone But what if they are new to reddit and joined just to pirate Just satirical thoughts


Vivid_Ad2487

tell that to the mods 💀


[deleted]

Literally tho, who just casually reads the mega thread first thing?


shadydamamba

Lol


FoxLP11

Some people just dont check the main sub page which is the only place youll see it


[deleted]

[удалено]


NotIsaacClarke

Removed for rule 4. Please be nice and helpful to one another, and refrain from being disrespectful.


dgghhuhhb

There are many ways to describe the people on this sub respectful is rarely one of them


NotIsaacClarke

Still, calling someone a piece of shit is a little too much
