Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Modern Game File Sizes Be Like
You can chuck compact.exe at it by hand (use the /exe option), or if you'd prefer to avoid the command line there's my Compactor tool, or the venerable CompactGUI.

The era of 100GB games is upon us, and the average PC gamer is underprepared
Look into compact. Or the tool compactGUI. It uses windows inbuilt compression which doesn't impact performance noticably. The less well optimised a games files are the more space you get back. For many games you get nothing, maybe couple mb per gb. But for things like Ark? Install went from 186.5gb to 68.8gb. Runs just as fine no problems. But takes up a third of the size so it's absolutely noticable and demonstrateable that filesizes are in certain circumstances a result of lazy dev work
You can also just use compactGui smaller filesizes without having to remove dialogs or cutscenes or anything. Obviously how much space is regained depends on how well it was compressed originally. With triple A titles perhaps getting 10% back, while things like ark can literally be shrunk by hundreds of gigs.
- Faster LZ is not the answer to 150-250 GB video game downloads

Quite OK Image is now my favorite asset format
> This claim needs some real world evidence to back it up (and usually it's not about a performance impact, but instead a perceived image quality impact).
We're talking lossless compression here, so image quality is not the issue.
Fortunately someone else has already done this research. There's a tool for Windows to control the compact.exe behavior for individual folders called CompactGUI: https://github.com/IridiumIO/CompactGUI
They maintain a database of compression results here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14CVXd6PTIYE9XlNpRsxJ...
Reductions in storage use of greater than 50% are so common that they're hardly even worth remarking on. My experience with compressing a bunch of games is that the biggest gains come from compressing bloated asset packs. Hard to know what else could be taking up more than 50% of the storage space in a particular game.

*For anyone curious, using CompactGUI is the easiest way for average users

Tip for vastly improved gaming experience
You can claw back a lot of it by marking the folder as compressed, or using Compactor/CompactGUI periodically.

what are some software's that should be noted?
7zip, microsoft powertoys (useful utilities n stuff), hyper-v (VM stuff), OBS, optimizer (https://github.com/hellzerg/optimizer) (privacy stuff + system tweaks), compactor (https://github.com/Freaky/Compactor) (uses windows compact.exe and provides a GUI for a otherwise cmd based tool) also qbittorrent

C drive keeps filling up, I’ve cleaned up disk many times and ran many antivirus scans. It just keeps filling up. Any help?
Also run Compactor https://github.com/Freaky/Compactor and compact the C:\Users C:\ProgramData & the two Program Files folders. I find this can bring back a lot of space when you are dealing with a small drive.

What's everyone working on this week (52/2022)?
I'm working on a rewrite of my Windows 10+ app compression tool, Compactor.
-
mind making a video on the superior 7z one compression to rule them all
and clustersizes larger than 4k on ntfs doubles troughput and read write speeds. problem is u lose compression of compact. BUT an app called compactor allows u to still compress in a very intelligent way of skipping uncompressable files to get most disk space IO speeds and throughput on ur pc. while removing fragmentation. https://github.com/Freaky/Compactor

What's the size of your Playnite folder?
Oh yeah, I know it. There's a newer one, based on it, which is more up-to-date: https://github.com/Freaky/Compactor

can somebody explain this to me please?
You can google compact.exe commands or download Compactor or CompactGUI and check the folder.
