Sure do, they even pay hourly for you to browse it. But it's complicated to get into, and they get angry and throw people out after a day of browsing for some reason.Quote:

Steam sales are never that good anymore. They should bring back flash sales. Too many people bitched and moaned and they got rid of flash sales. Games going all digital sucks too. That's why I try to get physical whenever possible.
are there any pc games like animal crossing(not the sims series)?
Post count isn't increasing and it's distressing :wacko:.Quote:

So downloading a 50GB game takes days. Hell, anything above 2-4GB will take more then a night to download.Quote:

Also, yeah a game that takes a long time to download, but can be beat in not a very long amount of time also kinda defeats the purpose to a degree. Why wait 10 hours for a game to download, when it can be beat in like 4?Quote:

Offline play, LAN/direct IP MP, nobody wants those :revwacko:.
The pitfalls of an all digital future. One the main reasons I try to go all physical as much as possible. Also, this shows why emulation is important, at least through emulation we can relive these games, granted it takes time and resources for newer systems to be emulated. Ps3 and Xbox 360 are showing good results as of late and will hopefully continue to do so. Also, original Xbox emulation is coming along nicely too.Quote:

Emulation will always be great.

Thrashed Apple Mountain Dew. That is all.
I think your sig needs some work :booger:
1fichier is really nice for downloading these huge files. Like seriously, Elden Ring is 30GB and I downloaded it in under an hour or something. I member when I had to leave my computer on overnight to try and get a 4GB file, and fail.
it is, even for uploading.Quote:

It's my preferred host now.
There was talk on pkglinks a while back about not allowing 1fichier but it seems to have failed thankfully.
I mean Mega is near fucking useless for any file above 4GB plus it has data caps anyway.
Zippy works but if you have a PS4 game that is 25GB or more it's a crapload of split archive files... plus I can't see better speeds on zippy myself, 1fichier is faster to dl from (faster than mega too).
1fichier you can just upload the pkg no need for an archive at all.
I think you're right. I have had sigs and avatars disabled for the longest time to streamline my posting experience. Now I see it. >_>Quote:

It's a lot better than it used to be. The users that complain about the good free hosts are usually the users paying too much for the lame pay hosts.Quote:

Because of course port forwarding is handled by my modem, and they made this "user friendly" and accomplish this by pushing an update at my modem and force it to reboot. I forget if reboots were required with port forwarding before, but damn, this effort to be user friendly is not.
Did you get the app for the app :wacko:?
Having to restart for PF is terrible, adding an "app" requirement to that is even worse. Does your ISP not let you use your own router?
Got a section of my ceiling painted :prada:.
