If you're sincerely whimsical about really liking a treat, that might be a good time.

Reminder (if you're in a hellhole where a VPN is needed for torrenting) to bind your network adapter in qbittorrent to your VPN so that in the event your VPN drops it doesn't automatically fail over into the host ("real") network interface and expose your ip for copyright claims.

This is found under settings -> advanced -> network Interface.

Also reminder that any game that you definitely legally own that only uses steamdrm can be played offline by using the Goldberg Steam emulator. Check the readme on that project page for more information/instructions.
