Not the funniest I have played, but I definitely found it funny and fun.

TechieDamien, do games w Game recommendation, looking for easier western 3D ARPG

I don’t really see how Elden Ring is a western, but I can recommend rdr2 or call of juarez gunslinger if you prefer something less serious.

Psyduck_world,

My bad, I don’t mean western as in gun slingers western, but western arpg like not Japanese arpg.

But Elden Ring is a japanese ARPG. That was what the jab was about I’d imagine.

Or do you mean you want an ARPG instead of a JRPG/CRPG, as in, manual combat instead of menu-based party combat?

Psyduck_world,

I don’t like emo main characters or waifu, so for example tales series or Final fantasy 7 remake would probably not work for me. I am not really familiar with the terminology, I thought those kind of games would be considered Jrpg/Japrg.

Well, Elden Ring isn’t a typical jrpg. It just happens to be developed by a Japanese developer. I guess it is its own genre by now.

Apeeksiht, do piracy w Is anyone else like 10 times more likely to play a game they pirated versus one they bought?

Pirated hades. Played for some hours, had a blast. Bought it on sale and now I’m still playing.

samus12345,

Wish I’d pirated it first. I bought it on Switch after the glowing reviews and played a while before deciding it wasn’t for me.

Apeeksiht,

It gets better the more you play actually. The hidden features unlock after few playthroughs.

samus12345,

The sticking point is the boss fights. I learned from loving Rogue Legacy and not liking Hades that I really hate having to do long, drawn out boss fights over and over again even after beating them.

mp3, (edited ) do gaming w Just Got an 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller, What Now?
@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

The Bluetooth mode is made specifically for the Nintendo Switch on that model, on PC and Android you need X-Input mode, which is made available through 2.4GHz and USB-C.

I complained about that part too, and 8bitdo doesn’t seem receptive…

https://www.8bitdo.com/ultimate-bluetooth-controller/

To configure the controller you need the software here.

Yonrak,

I complained about that part too, and 8bitdo doesn’t seem receptive…

I mentioned it to them and they were very helpful… They specifically sent me a beta firmware for the reciever that allows me to toggle between Switch mode and Xinput mode by holding Select+Y or Select+X respectively.

I’ll see if I can find the file …

d3Xt3r,

Interesting. My interaction with them wasn’t really helpful. Not for this issue, but I raised an issue that the macro function doesn’t allow you to replay certain buttons (like ‘+’), which limits it’s usefulness. I reached out to them and they said they’ll pass the info back to the team and never heard from them again. I bought this controller specifically for the macro feature (and specifically for being able to replay ‘+’), and without that functionality, the controller is completely useless for me. I already own a Switch Pro controller and I prefer it’s ergonomics/shape much more over the 8bitdo.

There’s a difference between the Ultimate BT (with hall effect joysticks and the paddles) vs the Ultimate 2.4g, which received BT support later on. They don’t use the same firmware.

https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/950359e5-92d9-4389-9ea4-4af55eec1bc7.png

Yonrak, (edited )

I have the Bluetooth + 2.4G one with hall effect sensors and paddles (with the 2.4G/Bluetooth switch on the back and included 2.4G receiver in the dock).

I didn’t realise the dedicated 2.4G one received Bluetooth later, but the firmware was for the 2.4G receiver, not the controller, which I’d assume to be the same one regardless? That said, it’d only allow you to use “Switch Pro Mode” and “Xinput Mode” when connected via 2.4G to the receiver. Bluetooth mode behaviour will be unchanged… But given the choice I’m not sure why anyone on PC would use Bluetooth instead of the 2.4G anyway, unless they’re not using the dock with that particular computer…

All that aside though, my initial comment was to indicate 8bitdo were actually quite helpful when I reached out to them, in contrast to the person I was replying to… To answer OPs actual questions:

  1. Bluetooth mode outputs as a Switch Pro controller by default, so a lot of games on PC won’t recognise it unless you use Steam Input or some other translation layer to convert to Xinput. There are numerous applications to do it, but Steam is probably easiest and most accessible. To set the paddles etc You can download the Ultimate Software on your Phone or the PC to set the back paddles and tweak settings.
  2. I’d recommend playing around with some first person shooters using the Gyro. Steam specifically has a Flick Stick-like mode that is a really fun way of using the Gyro in FPS games like DOOM. You angle the stick to the direction you want to face, and then use gyro to aim up/down and make fine corrections. E.g. to snap turn 180degrees, just flick the right analogue stick down. Works brilliantly when you (eventually) get the hang of it, it’s so much faster.
Ocelot,

I have this controller and bluetooth mode works just fine for me on my PC and steam deck, those do run linux but the protocol is the same in windows. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

mp3,
@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

It will work with Steam, as Steam itself is able to capture Switch-input, but if you try to use it outside of Steam in a software that expects X-Input it will not work as expected.

I wasn’t able to use it on Android in BT mode either, most games I tried wouldn’t recognize it, but would work fine using a USB-C cable.

Luella,
@Luella@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Huh, I’ve used bluetooth mode consistently on my PC. I am on linux however so maybe that has something to do with it.

Confetti_Camouflage, do piracy w Why are categories basically useless in qbittorrent?

Tools > Preferences > Downloads > Saving Management

Change “Default Torrent Management Mode” to automatic

https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/d980de24-a190-46c9-a569-300ee4d3b890.png

counselwolf,

what does this do?

rambos,

It will move files to location you have set in category settings. If you are using sonarr it can automatically set tv-sonarr category and then qbittorrent will move it to your tv shows folder.

Confetti_Camouflage,
@Confetti_Camouflage@pawb.social avatar

Qbittorrent will save downloads to the assigned category’s folder instead of manually specifying the download location each time.

solberg, do piracy w Is there a good source of mac software?

Cmacked but you’re going to have to deal with lots of ads and direct downloading

EliasTheOG, (edited )

There is uBlock Origin and FilterStalker for these Ads ;)…for DDL I found Real-Debrid is an excellent investment.

janguv,

What about the actual files there – risk of malware/viruses?

solberg,

I’ve not gotten one. I think macOS is less prone to viruses than Windows, but there’s always a risk.

Rearsays,

It seems all the software versions I’m looking for have dead or paywalled links. The only thing worse than paying full price is paying for cracked software that might be riddled with backdoors and not have a warranty or anything.

cyberpunk007, do piracy w Automated torrenting and Plex Docker image, for Pi setup?

You might have a hard time on a pi if transcoding occurs. Use something like pymedusa and couch potato for automatic downloads of tv shows and movies, and something like transmission for a torrent client. They all have docker images. Check out linuxserver.io

fleet.linuxserver.io

ChrisLicht,

I have limited grasp of transcoding, but there are just a few of us hitting the Plex server, and everyone is using Roku TVs or Roku boxes, which I thought were generally okay with most current file encodings, but maybe I have that wrong.

Awwab,
@Awwab@kbin.social avatar

You should be fine as long as you aren't trying to play 4k, there is an additional feature where you can disable transcoding as an option in Plex.

Check out this guide if you want to go down the docker rabbit hole.

ChrisLicht,

I’m def going down it, thanks! Bought a couple of Docker books and am watching intro videos now.

rambos,

wiki.servarr.com

I think you want portainer, sonarr, radarr, prowlarr and qbittorrent

ChrisLicht,

Thank you! My challenge right now is grasping how to get them to talk to each other in Docker.

OhTheMoose, do games w Game recommendation, looking for easier western 3D ARPG

You might enjoy “The Surge” 1 and 2, they’re souls-like in gameplay but in a more industrial-punk atmosphere. There’s also the “Darksiders” games, I enjoyed all 3 of them. They’re action-RPGs, but “Darksiders 3” is closest to a souls-like. “Remnant: From the Ashes” and “Remnant 2” are also very good fun.

It’s a private tracker. They want proof that you’re a good standing member of some other private tracker. So they’d want to see that you seed and have a good ratio.

They have an IRC chat. If you had skill cracking apps or something they might let you in that way.

Older gamer here, that has just dipped his toes in RPGs in a long time by buying Elden Ring. These days there’s no time to bash your head in the same bossfight two dozen times. Fun has to be a little less “long haul”.

My suggestion: Valheim

Im28xwa, do piracy w Where do you guys download pirated android apps from ?

I recently stumbled upon platinmods dot com, don’t know whether it is safe though so a comment from someone who knows about this site more will be appreciated

Azurebalmunk,

It’s safe. I would stick to the approved/verified and tested mods sections of the site.

Havant played myself, but two twitch streamers I watch started with the Xbox copy and the load times were brutal. The steam version, apparently, felt much better to play reguardless of story quality.

I’ve opted to play it on my newly built PC as a crave those FPS aha. The load times have been pretty alright for me.

sylverstream,

Initial load time was very long, after that it was okay. Playing on xsx.

sylverstream, do xbox w Starfield Review And Discussion Mega-thread

I’ve played it for two hours or so today and so far loving it! 30fps is noticeable, but much better than other games and not an issue to me while I usually can’t stand it. It all feels immense and very fun, I enjoy exploring and looting and talking to people.

Graphics are a bit underwhelming to be honest.

Also I couldn’t spot a minimap for stations to find eg shops, unless I’m missing something.

The fast travel feels perfect to me, not an issue like others described.

Exciting game. 9/10

Chee_Koala, do games w Game recommendation, looking for easier western 3D ARPG

Maybe Diablo II Remastered or Diablo IV?

Vlyn,

OP might have used the term aRPG, but clearly didn’t mean isometric games (Their example was Elden Ring and they like Witcher 3).

Besides that, Diablo II Remastered is anything but easy (rough start and then pushing towards hell difficulty you get slapped with immune enemies).
