Oh yeah, Deluge, Transmission, qBittorrent, those are just a few of my favourites. Oh and TuxRacer of course.
Battle for Wesnoth can definitely compete with most commercial titles.
Love me Luanti. Love me voxel games. Simple as.
My husband swears by Warzone 2100
Beyond All Reason (Total Annihilation community clone) is excellent and FOSS
Dwarf Fortress is free also (the Steam version is just a tile pack and some UI changes, Dwarf Fortress tile packs are legion)
I highly recommend Mindustry, and HedgeWars (Worms clone but with hedgehogs). And honestly Super Tux cart is pretty solid, even if bits of it feel dated.
You can pirate games, you can't pirate RAM. If you have a PC, you're good.
Welcome back old scam:
Connectix wasn’t the scam, theirs actually was a novel utility.
It's fine, you can download more ram, just like you would with games
You wouldn't download a car
I've literally downloaded more cars for GTA 4 and Cyberpunk 2077 than I've been in IRL 😄
I feel like you need to see this anti piracy ad. For your own safety.
Too late, already a veteran helmet shitter. The families accept me as an inescapable consequence of being related to a cop by now.

PPIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRAAAAAAACCCCCCYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! ALL HAIL MISS FITGIRL!
Well, I've never been [to] Greenland
And I've never been to Denver
And I've never buried treasure in St. Louis or St. Paul
And I've never been to Moscow
And I've never been to Tampa
And I've never been to Boston in the fall
'Cause we're the Pirates
Who don't do anything
We just stay home and lie around
And if you ask us to do anything
We'll just tell you:
...
We don't do anything.
EDIT:
Viking Hippie found a typo!
Veggie tales, on lemmy? Alright.
I feel like the "raised fairly extreme Christian -> fuck basically all that noise" demographic is uh, kinda either underrepresented or unacknowledged on lemmy.
I may no longer be religious, but, goddamnit, that song is a banger.
I've previously ... apparently just completely introduced a fair amount of people to the NRA's uh Eddie Eagle, the gun safety mascot.
I'm guessing there is actually a fairly large amount of nerds who were raised American Christian in the 90s, who also basically had dysfunctional families, and thus spent a lot of time on their computers and the internet, trying to escape that.
Well, I've never been Greenland
Me neither, but I HAVE been there.
It's quite lovely in the summer and nowhere near as cold as you'd expect.
Ah! The lyrics page I copied from must have messed that up, hah!
... the verses get increasingly ridiculous.
By the end, you have:
And I've never licked a spark plug
And I've never sniffed a stink bug
And I've never painted daisies on a big red rubber ball
And I've never bathed in yogurt
And I don't look good in leggings
...
And we've never been to Boston in the fall!
... this is all being sung by a 90s CGI/cartoon cucumber with a face, amongst a bunch of other CGI fruits and vegetables, dressed as pirates, basically on beach lounge chairs, on a moored like, galleass or something.
I think ostensibly the joke for the adults is supposed to be like, a guy or some guys who just own a boat, but never actually take it out, just use it as an excuse to get away from the house.
I love it!!!
Obviously somebody’s never heard of the fun free PC games of Solitaire, Minesweeper, and Calculator
GCC is the best game ever. I play it for 30 years, community is very active, new versions are released regularly!
GCC is the best sandbox game
... What is GCC?
GNU compiler collection.
Oh, I thought you were talking about an open source game 😅
But I do :)
Over the past like 5 years I have ever only used Epic for one rhing, collecting the free 1 to 2 games they offer every Thursday. I have like 200+ games from that alone. Just don't buy anything from them and your good, people do not like Epic at all so this may get some downvotes but free is free to me.
Too bad epic is just trash and lacks basic functions that should be standard for any competent storefront. I used it for a free game once a few years ago and I couldn't even play the game when my Internet died after I'd already played it.
Nothing like being so mad a shit service giving you a free product that you go and purchase the same product later from a real games store that had basic functionality.

Install OpenTTD.
Mmm. Do you know that there are games given for free on different platforms. Even if your pc can't run an high spec recent 3A, you can find plenty of low graphic entertaining games.
Super Tux Kart is right there!!!
Games in GOG for 2€ or less right now. Quite a number of them still look great and others have fun gameplay which transcends time.
Then there are quite a lot of free games like OpenTTD or Luanti.
Last but not least, for PC games piracy has a pretty low technical barrier to entry.
Put in your hat, we are sailing off
Beyond All Reason is free, open source, and a good strategy game. They are still rebuilding the campaign though.
I've had my PC for like 2 console generations, it still runs new games 60fps 4k, and if I really wanted to I could pirate basically any game.
maybe that's the point of the handcuffs being so loose
Ah, my interpretation was that the shackles represented a self imposed financial situation from buying a PC, but I like yours better.
Most older games on steam are $5 or less, and many of them are still very fun to play, also more recent games go on sale on steam all the time

Yeah but, if you want legit free game you can just rob Epic.
Also there's tons of f2p on steam, just brace yourself for the monetization.
