I apologize if this is already answered somewhere but I'm curious what exactly a fitgirl repack is? I know it's a pirated version of a game but like is it just an installer or something? And if you imported the game into steam for example can you be "banned" or VAT (idr the term)

I mean yeah, decompression is resource intensive, but it's still retarded to say that the goal of it is to overstress your computer, especially considering that any reasonable setup will throttle itself before just burning up

I totally agree it is quiet dumb. The only thing that wants to stress/overheat your computer are stress tests and that's their job. And yeah 99,99% of hardware will thermal throttle either way so there's no way to really do permanent harm to It
