Yeah, but as far as I can tell there’s hasn’t been malware in fitgirl repacks. So, I suppose I am outsourcing my vetting to them.

It’s really a question of how much effort I want to put in finding a different source that’s not dangerous. The extra time it takes to unpack them is okay then.

GOG games is fine as well, but they don’t have everything and direct downloads aren’t always stable for me.

I trust fitgirl repacks from the official sources.

Direct downloads and other sources need to be vetted.

The world is tough out there cousin brother.

I send hugs and vibes.

A data analyst with an econ degree specialising in econometrics and a political science degree. That’s awesome.

Are you the cousin that my mother foretold about?

This is very inefficient, they should be using a switch case.

Software tools -

• obsidian for keeping track and record keeping and noting ideas.
• Obsidian Canvas, Miro - for mood boarding, currently using canvas but I am looking for an alternative that’s FOSS and very light weight.
• paint to make diagrams and concept ideas.
• Typora - good distraction free free writing tool.
• Keep - quick idea noting, but slowly shifting over to obsidian mobile. Unfortunately it isn’t as intuitive on mobile, need to configure it.

I am only making use of these so far, but I am also currently on the lookout for a map creator tool. The mainstream ones are either to anemic or paid.

Idea Generation Tools -

• Immersion techniques, subscribing to the communities I want to use for inspiration to learn more in depth about them, watching videos, shows, reading articles
• I have an Idea bucket from where I pick and mix in with other ideas to come up with something.
• Deviant art, Reddit, other socials for interesting art to take inspiration from.
• recently I’ve also been creating playlists on all the social media platforms.
