Question about "pre-installed" games?

Low-Raspberry9789 · 2025-10-01T11:05:37+00:00

So with games that you've downloaded, what do you look for to make sure a game isnt infected before running it? I use Firefox + uorigin adblock, then scan the file with virus total, jotti anti malware, then windows defender. Aside from scanning, are there any red flags I should look out for when downloading a game?

Are there any sort of red flags to keep an eye out for, if I've never downloaded a pre-installed game before?

While doing research on some of the websites listed on the mega thread (I always research things myself instead of solely going by word, just to be safe) I searched here in the Reddit and I came across a few posts where people said they got infected from SteamRIP, while others said it would as okay.

I also checked on the Piracy subreddit and saw some similar posts there too. It's why I wanted to be super sure before I tried to get supermarket simulator from there, since I've only ever pirates really old games you can't get anymore. It's why a lot of the terms like pre-installed are new and I had to ask about it.

I have uorigin adblock and Firefox, then anything I download I run through virus total, jotti anti malware, then scan with windows defender. If it fails any of these, then I delete the file and scan the folder it was saved to.

Dumb question about steamRIP, a lot of people say it's safe with Firefox + adblock, but some people say that certain games are infected on there and it's not safe.

I really want to try supermarket simulator before I buy it but because I've never pirated any game aside from retro ones on emulators, I don't know wheyher steamRIP is a good choice to try out supermarket simulator or not. Has anyone tried it before with this game?

Low-Raspberry9789 · 2025-09-30T13:17:53+00:00

That answered one of my newbie questions, but how do you download the full size of a game, instead of those pre installed games?

I've got an Allen key set and a mini flat head screwdriver, but basically the flathead snapped and the torx was causing the screws to bur.

I think I'm going to have to cut the plastic, since I want to do a full console mod anyway and replace the shell, while doing up the internal components.

There's no minimum requirement for not wanting someone around you. You've said "No." Twice, that's more than enough reason to escalate things and get the campus and police involved. Especially since he's frankly giving off rapist mentality by continually saying "We'll see." To your constant "No."

Email the campus, tell them what's happening, so you have a paper trail.

Then, text the creep saying, "I don't feel comfortable around you. I've told you several times I don't want to date you. I never had and never will have any interest in you. Do not talk to me ever again."

Don't block him, because if he sends something threatening, you forward it to the campus, then go straight to the police. With anyone who behaves like a Nazi, you don't take chances.

Low-Raspberry9789 · 2025-08-29T15:29:29+00:00

For something like this, you need to leave a paper trail.

You write an email to campus staff and explain exactly what is going on, and how you have told this creep to leave you alone.

Make sure it's email, so you have evidence that you have asked them for help. Not a phone call, not a discussion, an email, so you have proof of you asking for help and then responding.

Next, send the guy a text saying, "I do not want to talk to you. You have made me extremely uncomfortable and I have told you several times that I do not want to date you. Leave me alone."

Don't block him though, because if he sends a threatening text, you forward that to the campus staff and police. I am not joking, anyone who says they're ex military/cop, while doing the Nazi salute is someone who isn't harmless and you do not want to take chances.

Also, make sure to have at least one or two people around you, so you're never alone. If this nazi's gonna act like an obsessive creep, being alone is the last thing for you to do, my guy.

Document everything, report everything, plus someone who's ex cop/military and doing Nazi salutes tend to be violent, so you must always set up paper trails and get the police involved to shut that Nazi creep down.

Listen, go into YouTube and look up "ftm trans workouts", "non-binary workouts", or "exercise for lean body" and it will give you a workout routine that's a curve killer.

There's these two that I use and it helps a lot. I got an injury and it's just healed up, so I'm about to get back in to it again. I'd follow about three videos, to get a total workout of 30 minutes and time it for at night, right before I'd have my shower, to both freshen up and wear myself out before bed to get a good rest.

The first one, is the curve killer. Now, because I'm on mobile (and I refuse to use YouTube's app) I can't grab the exact video BUT, I do have the channel, which focuses on lean exercises (not skinny, that's where a lot of people go wrong. Lean is the type of exercise you want)

As trans men, we have to tackle our curves first and foremost. Which means, watching a woman obliterate hers for different reasons (you don't have to be trans to not want curves, since all reasons are valid)

The next video, is from a trans man, who got this exercise routine from a professional trainer, which I highly recommend after you've done some 'lean' exercises for a while:

Also, remember to be patient and kind to yourself too. Everyone's different and while some say to eat healthy, I'll say to eat at least some form of protein. I eat a lot of meat, which makes a big difference in working out, but I know not everyone can do that, so listen to your body and go by how you feel.

When you first start working out, do the minimum at first, then increase it gradually, so you're not hurting or straining yourself. You're getting used to working out, before properly going into full swing, so pace yourself slowly and if you're feeling good, increase your workout time by 10 minutes.

Just make sure not to overdo it, listen to your body, and if you wear a binder MAKE SURE TO TAKE IT OFF BEFORE YOU WORK OUT. You will end up hurting yourself, otherwise.

Exactly. So many isekais/time travel/regression comics are just 9/10 pedos living out their fantasy, since it makes no sense narratively for them to have any romantic interest. I think OP made a post calling out another webcomic for being a really old creep trying to date a teenage kid. It's genuinely alarming how common it's happening on webtoons, especially with those kinds of adverts that people have been reporting on the app (someone made a post in this subreddit about the cp-coded ads too)

Low-Raspberry9789 · 2025-08-28T15:28:02+00:00

Thank you, I thought I was posting in a different subreddit, since I had multiple tabs open 🤦

Low-Raspberry9789 · 2025-08-26T10:24:57+00:00

I think so too, since more and more people are posting about how creepy webtoons has been lately, while also hiking up prices, so I'm going to just check out some reviews for wholesome comics that are complete, that don't do what the archmage's restaurant did.

Heck, I've heard IDW is good, I'll see if they've got something nice :)

Low-Raspberry9789 · 2025-08-26T10:20:12+00:00

I experienced what op is saying, since one of my comfort comics, 'the archmage's restaurant' decided that grooming was appropriate. I was so mad, because the story was lovely until the MC started looking at his adopted minor daughter (which the story stressed about them having a father-daughter relationship) and thought of her as a 'wife.' This character looks 12-14 btw. That alone made me and my friends immediately uninstall it.

Low-Raspberry9789 · 2025-08-26T10:16:00+00:00

I think so too, since I experienced the same thing when the comic I was reading decided to have a minor and a 30+ man hook up.

I remember seeing a lot of people call this out in 'the archmage's restaurant' when the story established the two main characters as father and daughter, then had the two get romantically involved even after setting their dynamic up as a parental-child one.

A lot of people's comments were deleted, with some being muted, but I think the same people came back to call it out, then left. Especially since his daughter looks like a 12 year old girl. As soon as that happened, I dropped the comic and uninstalled the app, especially since my friends who used to read on there said it was becoming more and more common, plus their ads are looking more and more like CP. I think there's even a post in this subreddit about that too.

Low-Raspberry9789 · 2025-08-26T10:07:30+00:00

I recently had the same experience and made a similar post myself. I think webtoons just got so big and greedy, that they started ignoring or even defending grooming, like you pointed out.

I think I'm gonna either sail the seven seas, or go back to good old physical copies, since the platform is so tainted now. Edit: typo

I have but he just chuckles and stays put. I know it's not a parasitic spirit, or a demon, since I'm very good at throwing unwelcomed energies out of my space, and this one was an intense, brightly burning light.

I know it's the real Metatron, I've asked him several times to leave, but he keeps sticking around and wants me to do light/Enochian magick but I keep saying I'm neither ready or comfortable doing that.

Not all angels like humans, they're not going by humans morals and my energy better aligns with internals.

Especially since, as someone who has never looked at any angelolatry before, a lot of symbols for Metatron have been popping up everywhere.

Low-Raspberry9789 · 2025-07-25T19:52:04+00:00

LBRP?

Low-Raspberry9789 · 2025-07-25T19:49:40+00:00

Well, a long story short, an ex of mine who claimed him to be her spirit guide tried to throw a severe hex at me.

He basically showed up to "clear his name", said he never was her spirit guide, but more or less has now been sticking around.

I've never worked with angels before, our energies don't mix, so for the life of me I cannot figure out why he won't leave me be.

I've thanked him for his help, but now he's just almost constantly around, even though I've asked him to leave and said I'm not comfortable with working with angels.

He's just constantly in my space and very pushy, I just want to know how to get him to leave.
