My favorite thing these days is putting my windows laptop in airplane mode before installing anything. It goes all buggy and aggressive about “we don't know if this is a threat!!!” Meanwhile it always flags these installers as a threat anyway, and offline whining is easier to get through.

Yes yes, I know, windows bad mmmmkay, all my other computers are linux, I keep this on windows for “but moooooom I don't want to have to mess with a load of shit just to test this game to see if I even like it enough to go through the arduous process to install on linux” reasons
