Way too much Tetris on an emulated SNES

Kra, do gaming w I watched 2 hours of starfield gameplay and an hour of review

I mean the game is probably mediocre to okay, but why are they selling it for SEVENTY EURO? I mean wtf. If they want 70€ it should be outstandingly good. I would maybe buy it for 40€, but this greed is a hard pass for me.

Oneser,

Is this not standard AAA title pricing?

Kra,

I’ve never seen a game without dlcs that expensive on steam

CrateDane,

60 is standard, but there are a handful of companies trying to make 70 the standard.

silentdanni,

Unfortunately, there’s no correlation between game quality and its price. The standard now is 70 euros.

Devjavu, do piracy w Is the TNT version of macpaw gemini safe?

Well TNT… it’s dynamite

WeirdGoesPro, do piracy w Is the TNT version of macpaw gemini safe?
@WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I’ve found TNT to be a safe release group, but I haven’t had much experience with cmacked.com. If it is unaltered from TNT’s original release, I would presume it to be safe.

Software cracks often register as malware. I think it is a combination of an attempt at copyright protection, plus the fact that many cracks are essentially breaking, blocking, or spoofing the registration of the software to allow an illegitimate version to run. Just because it says it thinks it is malware doesn’t actually mean that it will do anything malicious to your system that you didn’t already intend for the pirated software.

If you’re super nervous about it, install it in a VM and see what happens.

HWK_290, do xbox w What are you playing this weekend??

Sea of stars… So far, it’s a master class in jrpgs

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

I have been hearing great things about it. And the fact that they were able to launch day 1 on both PS+ and Gamepass was probably a big win for them.

Hope they earned a good amount from those deals.

HWK_290,

Me too. We need more of this!

@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Nice. So not a perfect game. There are bugs and some parts may not be as great, but overall a very good Bethesda experience.

Looking forward to playing it!

Congratulations XBox Players!

AlexanderTheGreat,
@AlexanderTheGreat@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you! It seems to be a pretty successful launch overall!

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I read and watched some reviews, and I am very happy.

I think the gist of it is, that it’s a new Bethesda IP, it’s not Elder Scrolls, and it’s not Fall out. It doesn’t play exactly like those games. Looking forward to playing it whenever I get my Xbox 😀

Kolanaki, (edited ) do gaming w What games have you played due to FOMO?
!deleted6508 avatar

Only multiplayer games, since a single player game is usually available forever someway or another. Multiplayer games live and die based on popularity. No players = no game. And the longer the game is around, the fewer players it generally has so I like to get in right when they come out if I’m interested at all.

@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

There’s no single player game you played because your friends were hyping it up?

essellburns,

Nope. That’s a young person’s game

ShranTheWaterPoloFan,

I’m not young and I still will play a game because it’s suggested to me. If everyone tells me a particular game/movie/book/restaurant is amazing, I’m going to try it.

Taking the advice of others and trying new things isn’t a sign of inexperience.

essellburns,

Yes it is. Evidence is against you on this point when we’re talking about population level behaviours, individuals vary of course which includes you

Not that experienced people are less able to consider other opinions, simply that when we’re younger we depend more on volatile social acceptance metrics combined with having had less time to firmly establish our own preferences.

ShranTheWaterPoloFan,

Taking suggestions for new media isn’t a sign of youth. Imagine having a friend recommend a book and saying “I’m no callow youth! I’ll select my own media thank you!”

Elevator7009,

Yeah, but deciding not to do so after hearing the specific advice is not necessarily a sign of being a head-in-the-ground ass. Especially if it’s just a video game recommendation.

Also, is the person making a recommendation based on what they know of my tastes, or because they want to gush about something they enjoy? I’m happy to hear the latter, but it doesn’t necessarily mean I will like it. If you love spicy food, I’ll gladly listen to you talk about it, but I’m going to ignore your recommendation to try it because I know things about myself, one of which is “I have no spice tolerance”.

ShranTheWaterPoloFan,

There is value in trying things outside your comfort zone. It’s the only way to grow, or find new things you like.

What friends?

Seriously: I’ve had friends talk me into getting stuff; but not from a fear of missing out. My friends were never really gamers. Half the shit they recommended to me I was already into or didn’t give a single fuck about lol

What about file encryption? How do you store your new files?

Lettuceeatlettuce,
@Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml avatar

Full disk encryption? Or should I do something additional?

_TK,
@_TK@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz avatar

file or disk encryption is only for protecting against attackers with physical access to the machine your VM is running on. Getting files from your server to local storage you should still use a secure connection and encrypted traffic to prevent ISP snooping, but going extreme on file encryption isn’t necessary unless you’re downloading actual heinous shit (CSAM) in which case you should go to jail.

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Why would you need file encryption?
Not like having a drive full of movies is illegal…Except if OP has CSAM stuff inside. Than it should be very encrypted in case of loosing (or not depending if OP wants jail time).

spez,

Except if OP has CSAM stuff inside. Than it should be very encrypted

then OP SHOULD go to jail.

FrostyCaveman,

That escalated quickly

Lettuceeatlettuce,
@Lettuceeatlettuce@lemmy.ml avatar

Holy shit yeah lol. Obviously nothing like that! I was confused as well why anything other than the generic Linux full disk encryption would be needed.

This would be in a server closet, so not on drives that I would be transporting copyrighted media into other countries anyways.

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Not like I don’t agree. Those vile people should.
But something like that or actually confidential stuff you don’t want others to see is a valid reason to encrypt it.

escapesamsara,

FDE is for physical attackers, it would have nothing to do with torrenting unless you’re really intending on pissing off every single criminal legal authority and not just worried about civil suits from copyright holders.

lukas,
@lukas@lemmy.haigner.me avatar

Nah. If you piss off the executive branch in your country, then they can more likely than not force you to hand over the decryption key. Plausible deniability doesn’t exist when an encrypted drive of likely illegal content chills there in your room.

dracs, do gaming w Steam in-house remote play (link)

This is pretty similar to my setup except for using a Valve Steam Link over the nVidia Shield. PS5 controllers connected to Steam Link. Steam Link connects to my desktop (over lan, previously PoE worked well). It works quite well overall. A small number of games seem to have issues with being streamed, but they’re pretty few and far between.
