Reminder that the reason that GOG is DRM-free and offers offline installers is because it was started by former pirates (in a sense).

If there is a game you love, buy it from GOG and archive the offline installer. If it isn't available on GOG, pirate it. The number of games that have disappeared is too damn high.

I need to get a couple more external drives and make at least one Faraday cage to keep one in.

All my installers are on a 1tb hdd that sits in my dresser. Made it a lot easier to put my games on my new laptop since they were installed before I even got to hooking it up to the internet.
