  • Some comments:

    • It has some unique content you will not find in both of them, if you are the kind that looks for specific releases.
    • The black Friday deal is usually really worth it.
    • There is no in-site forum, but instead a discord channel. Their “forum” link sends you to their discord.
    • The free account is deleted “after 14 days of inactivity” but it can happen earlier than this.
    • Paid activation happen manually, so, if discord receipt is a privacy nightmare for you, hope they read the e-mail.
    • Performance is ages ahead of dog.
    • Unlike dog, they accept requests for content (via discord) and they really go after it for you, that is really nice.

    Overall, it is a mix of both you mentioned, but you will find content there that you will not find on dog and vice-versa. I believe they cover geek well enough. Note that it all depends on what content you are after,



  • Hello Lemmy readers!

    After one month gathering information about indexers I created this table and I thought It would be nice to make it a markdown and share it here.

    The reason to make it was the inconsistency between multiple sources of information (review sites, reddit, hydra github, etc.) and the reality I found in every site. So this table represents the data I found inside the sites themselves between August and today (09/09/2023).

    A further note is that I did not add other German sites because they needed invites that I don’t have so I couldn’t get any info from them (and they are quite local). I also didn’t add a French one because it was trying to web-mine.

    As the title says, only sites with APIs able to be added to *ARRs are used for this table (excepting the ones omitted).

    If you have any doubt, correction or opinion, just comment!

    I hope to keep it updated, (or at least release a new one if too much time passes).

    Yeah, this table right now is the most updated thing you will find.

    I hope you enjoy!



  • Denuvo is the apex of a long history of bad choices.

    Maybe actually sell us the games in a way we really own it, without any sort of online activation/account/telemetry/data-gathering like when we could buy a disc and just use it, and it should all be ok.

    I feel like a dinosaur every-time I think this nowadays, but what is so problematic with the “own as in physically own” that is so hard to implement? If they want to provide a service, sell a service.

    In the past I used pirate versions of games I bought just to be able to play them offline, or because I did not agree with the terms of service. It is so much for our info, it goes beyond just knowing you are the real owner of the software copy: it comes to the point where it looks like it’s to guarantee we are not its’ owner.

    Now some DRMs even destroy gaming performance and its just faster to use 'ked versions. I hope it changes somehow.
