Since Blasphemous II came out, I decided to give the first game of the two a try, and I’m amazed. For me, this is as good as a hollow Knight in terms of the map size, exploration, combat, music, everything. It’s phenomenal. The odd art style put me off at first, but it was unfounded. The game is awesome. If you’re on the fence about it like I was, take this as your sign that it’s a good metroidvania. Your mileage may vary, but I don’t usually give annoying or tedious games the light of day.

Final Fantasy IX Remaster

  • I’ve never finished FF9 on PS1 (my optical drive died), then I got distracted playing FF9 remaster a few years earlier. Finally decided to stream the game with a guide
  • The battle is slow, even with fast forward, the animation seems to be slower than FF8 or FF7
  • The fast forward in this remaster is not implemented as good as FF8 remaster’s.
    • It’s only either 1x or 4x speed
    • If you started the fast forward and forgot to turn it off before a cutscene, then the cutscene will play at 4x without any way to reset the speed.
  • Despite all that, I am enjoying the game, characters are likable. I’m currently at Disc 2, after the Clerya section

Resident Evil Remake

  • Again, I’m following a guide to get unlimited rocket launcher. I really dislike that 3 hour time limit. Or maybe I just really dislike time limit in games.
  • I’m not into survival horror, but I enjoy the shooting / action part of Resident Evil
  • So far, not enjoying it, since I’m just kiting zombies, skipping cutscenes, etc. My aim is to get unlimited ammo, then finally play both Chris and Jill sections without the ammo, and in some ways, inventory constraints.
Vitagox, do piracy w netflixmirror.com safe to use?

I would also recommend Strem.io. Also should use a VPN with it.

I use Cloudstream, it gets the job done.

theoldman, do piracy w With PLEX blocking Hetzner Hosting, I'm thinking of Moving to Jellyfin, but I have some questions.

If you are concerned about privacy, don’t use Plex or any other software which use central servers to collect your data. They can literally see where you click on the screen, let alone what kind of hosting you use. Jellyfin on the other hand is open source and don’t phone home. Also if a software is free, it doesn’t mean it was easy to create it in the first place. So please consider donation or support the project.

Cranksta,

The other option is Emby. It’s based on the same code, and is just another division of the same project. You pay for it, but it gets tons of support and more features as a result. Both projects have pros and cons but I’m leaning further to Emby than Jellyfin myself.

sfcl33t, do gaming w Anybody else in love with the base-control gameplay loop of the middle Far Cry games?

I love far cry 2 the most. It was more realistic and really made you work for those villages/settlements.

bermuda,

I haven’t played far cry 2 yet. I heard the realism kinda messes with the fun in a way, like the malaria and the guns breaking gets in the way of the objectives

CookieJarObserver, do piracy w Is It Farewell To The Internet Archive?
@CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works avatar

Internet Archiv will go .onion

It’ll be hard to do when the bailiffs have seized their building and all their servers

CookieJarObserver,
@CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works avatar

Federate it!

totallynotfbi,

That only helps for shadow libraries whose operators are unknown. The Internet Archive, on the other hand, is a registered non-profit organisation, so how would they be able to hide themselves?

AAA,

Just like the OG Pirate Bay. They closed down, and someone else, unknown, took over.

That’s not unproblematic ofc as the new owner can do whatever they want without the oversight of the non-profit.

It’d be harder for IA since they have hundreds of PBs of hard drives. You need like a warehouse for it so it’s a lot harder to hop around

CookieJarObserver,
@CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works avatar

They could give the entire data as download and others could take over

totallynotfbi,

It’s not so simple, unfortunately. The sheer amount of data they have - 212 PB as of December 2021 - makes it practically impossible for most people to mirror. Unless they physically hand over all 745 server nodes to another operator, there’s no way of someone

There are some solutions to this - for example Archive-Team has proposed a method of mirroring the Internet Archive using distributed clients, although this method currently only has a fraction of the total dataset. Still, at this point in time, there’s no real solution to resharing IA’s data in the event they go under

turkalino,

how would they be able to hide themselves?

It’s literally in the name for a .onion website: hidden service

Tor hides the identity of servers just as much as it does for client users. So as long as the IA hosts in a country where publishers don’t have jurisdiction, I believe they’ll be fine

WarmApplePieShrek,

Customs and emigration will notice the hundreds of server racks on a boat

Second stremio. I use the torrentio addon without rd but always with vpns. It’s a backup for me for when my main nas goes down so I don’t want to pay for rd.

VHS, do gaming w What runs better? Native GTA IV pc port? Or emulating GTA IV PS3 version?
@VHS@hexbear.net avatar

native version, even on linux it runs flawlessly with great performance. GTAIV isn’t considered playable under RCPS3.

OverfedRaccoon, (edited ) do piracy w What are the best alternatives to The Pirate Bay in 2023?

I like sites that are aggregators of content (no one site, necessarily). I think the best move is to find release groups you like the quality of and trust. From there, find out where they upload. I was a big fan of RARBG remuxes (x265) and RARBG-affiliated TV release groups, so it took a bit to find acceptable and consistent replacements. It’s worth the effort.

Junkernaught,

Who did you replace them with?

OverfedRaccoon,

For movies, PSA slotted right in the quality/size hole RARBG left for x265 movies. There’s groups with better quality at higher filesizes (like QxR), but the ~2GB 1080p stuff PSA puts out suits my needs well.

TV is a little eh. XEN0N is where I ended up, but definitely isn’t on par with ION10/ION265. I haven’t found a great catch-all replacement. But I haven’t had to grab a ton of TV lately, to be honest.

Junkernaught,

Thank you!

Varsico,

You’d probably like Pahe.in releases, I also landed on PSA (I use it for both movies & tv) and Pahe is pretty close to it in quality/size. Pahe doesn’t have torrents tho, but I think their GDrive and Mega links are pretty easy to get to; compared to some of PSA’s direct downloads you only need one real countdown and less than 10 clicks to get the file

After more than thirty hours and hours of discussions with a friend who knows Pathfinder and stuff, I've finally beaten the first boss of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous!

My character finally created, I got through the intro cutscene thingle, threw a dart, saved, and am in bed waiting to become asleep 🤣

(The joke is that the character creation is so interesting, involved, and/or difficult that it counts as a boss fight just choosing a character class to start with 😅 Also yes it did actually according to Steam take me nearly forty hours to defeat said boss 😅)

ConstableJelly,

Good Ness, I was going to express concern for you for spending that much time on character creation, but then I watched the Mortismal new player guide and…that looks overwhelming in a possibly good way.

morphballganon, do nintendo w Switch controllers vibrate extremely loudly: defective?

What type of controller? Pro?

PlutoniumAcid, (edited )
@PlutoniumAcid@lemmy.world avatar

I’m sorry, I don’t understand. It’s the normal Nintendo Switch (OLED) and those two controllers that come with it which slot into the sides.

all-knight-party,
@all-knight-party@kbin.cafe avatar

It's hard to really say, when they vibrate, depending on the intensity that the game feeds the controller, the vibration is absolutely audible, it will never be silent, so it is a little hard to say with no audio feedback whether they're louder than they're supposed to, depending on the game.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Those are called Joycons. I would say they can get pretty loud but I suppose that depends on the game. Have you noticed a difference after starting a new game or did you notice it on the same game you’ve been playing before they got extra loud? Also, is the excessively loud noise coming from one joycon or both?

PlutoniumAcid,
@PlutoniumAcid@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you; I will check and respond again.

Daefsdeda,

Let me just say that I disabled vibration cause when me and my so are chilling it can be quite annoying for how loud it is, especially in some specific games

morphballganon,

Joycons. Interesting, my joycons are pretty quiet, and I have two pairs (four pairs in the family). Are they loud in certain games and not others? Which game(s) have the worst vibrations?

PlutoniumAcid,
@PlutoniumAcid@lemmy.world avatar

Apparently it’s mostly in one game, WRC 10.

I guess it means the hardware is okay and that one game is crap.

bighi,

I have never even heard my joycons vibrating unless they’re vibrating against a solid surface like a table or the floor.
