Tried the demo for System Shock remastered and finally started Jet Set Radio with the release of the spiritual successor. They did not age well for me, but I could see why they were popular back in the day

iHUNTcriminals, do piracy w please help debug my qbittorrent socks5 setup with nordvpn

I believe I had this working once but unfortunately I don’t recall having to troubleshoot anything.

Right now I just use a stack and put all my apps the need VPN in that docker stack and use kasm Firefox with ipleak to double check the VPN.

The reason I use the VPN container (gluetun) is I think I can specifically connect it to the nord p2p servers… Is that possible with the proxy settings?

Trine 5. Loving it so far.

ConstableJelly,

Just finished Trine 4 with my son! I’d never played one before but it was really a great little co-op experience. I’ll keep an eye on 5.

I started playing Children of Morta with my son yesterday and I’m pretty impressed with it. I e tried playing Diablo 3 a couple times and found it really boring, so I assumed dungeon crawlers just weren’t really my thing. But I started to find some depth in the combat after a couple runs in CoM, and I quite like the roguelite cycle and progress. We’re making pretty slow progress because my son is young and kinda sucks at it, but I’m enjoying it more with him than many other games we’ve tried.

I also started Baldur’s Gate 3 with my partner with it yesterday and am pretty much in love so far. I had similar experiences with both Divinity games but they both were just a liiiitle too long and we would lose steam around the end. Hoping that’s not the case with this one.

thisisnotcoincedence, do piracy w (Solved) Does anyone know if there are still clean DVD ISO rips of Grand Theft Auto IV around?

IPT should have what you’re looking for.

phamanhvu01,

Good suggestion thanks, I already found the needed ISO rip but it’ll probably be handy later for sure.

counselwolf,

ipt?

Try using the IP address of the NordVPN SOCK5 server, instead of the domain.

I had issues with using the domain name provided by Privado, and found switching to the IP address resolved them.

bremen15,

ok, i tried that (109.202.99.45) and it still does not work. The “retrieving metadata” progress animation keeps animating, and no info in the magnet link on the ipleak.net website shows up.

Unfortunate. From here the best I can say is check the logs.

bremen15,

i dont see any socks5 or proxy related log messages. should I? if so, how can I enable them?

Diablo 4. I've been trying to push to get the season objectives done. Right now it's basically sitting around and waiting for the world bosses to show up every six or so hours.
In the meantime I've been running around in the remastered version of Quake. I'm kinda bummed id Software didn't also remaster Scourge of Armagon or Dissolution of Eternity. Still gotta use GZDoom to properly play those.

explodicle,

Same here. IMHO Diablo 4 is like a return to the art style of Diablos 1 & 2. And the sound design is top notch.

My biggest disappointment so far is that they kept the Diablo 3 generic necromancer corpses, instead of using actual (but lower quality) corpses like in Diablo 2.

Poopfeast420, (edited )

Wait, I just played the Quake Remaster in the last 12 months, and all the expansions/addons/DLC/whatever are included.

If I remember correctly, if you launch (through Steam), you either choose the remaster or the old versions, each being a different “game,” but in the remaster you can just start the expansion episodes inside the game, no need to launch anything else.

Quake 64 is also included I think, as well as the newer episodes by Machine Games.

CharlesReed,

Oh, that's good to know. I guess I'll have to take a closer look next time I hop on.

Kolanaki, do piracy w So how fast do y'all think Starfield will get cracked when the early access goes live tonight?
!deleted6508 avatar

Lmao

It was already cracked 2 days ago when the early access for the big pre-order set went live. I’ve been playing it the whole time.

Entropy,

Yeah me too, I made this post the morning before EA went live.

Kolanaki,

Oh damn. I didn’t notice the age of the post. The app I use (liftoff) makes it pretty small.

Pheonixdown, do gaming w Should I get Monster Train or Inscryption?

Inscryption is not close to StS in gameplay style. It’s more narrative and the card gaming strategy takes a back seat, it’s also very breakable with certain strategies. Not to say it is a bad game, just it doesn’t sound like it’s what you’re looking for.

Monster Train is a solid game, you’ll get more replayability if you get the DLC later since it impacts core gameplay.

I would actually recommend you check out Griftlands, it feels closer to StS playstyle to me than Monster Train. In Monster Train it’s a lot about supporting the units with your deck, whereas StS and Griftlands are more about using your deck for the combat.

PriorProject,

My take echoes this. If one puts any stock in streamer recommendations, Baalorlord who has at various times held spire world record winstreaks, has recently cited Monster Train as his current favorite spirelike (other than spire itself), and also cited Griftlands as a playthrough a highlight.

Baalor probably doesn’t have an opinion on Inscryption as he tends to avoid things with even a slight horror theme. I enjoyed what I played of Inscryption a lot, but very little about playing it evoked the vibe of playing spire. Monster Train is quite adjacent though, the mechanics are different enough to feel fresh but it slots into the same gameplay mood for me whereas Inscryption is just a different (and still very good) thing.

Neither has the tight balance of Spire or feels quite as deep strategically to me (though in all honesty I’m probably not a strong enough player to be trusted in this regard), but both are fun.

I picked up Slay the Spire after kinda recently learning about deck building games and how much I apparently love them. Been having a bunch of fun and beat the game for the first time just recently. Now I have to do it with the other characters :3

boo_, do piracy w Is there a desktop app with similar UX to Cloudstream?
@boo_@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I have not gotten cloudstream to work, so I don’t know it’s similar, but I’ve used popcorn time and my friends use it regularly and are happy with it.

LazyCrow,

Oh that’s one I haven’t heard in a while, maybe I’ll give it a shot too, thanks!

I have not gotten cloudstream to work

For the extensions you mean?
I successfully got them from cloudstream[dot]on[dot]fleek[dot]co/repos/ it seems like that website hasn’t been taken down yet and hopefully it won’t “ever”, since, as I understand, it relies to some extent on the IPFS, though I don’t know how that works exactly

Backslash, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of September 3rd

I recently discovered Manic Miners, a remake of 1999’s Lego Rock Raiders, and ever since I’ve been busy reliving my childhood in 1080p. Now if only someone could remake Lego Racers 1&2…

Beyond that, I found out that the Steam release of Dwarf Fortress totally passed me by last year, and so I’ve been getting back into that and I keep marveling at the lovely graphics and the mouse control. I’m happy that I can support the creators this way after years of playing the game every once in a while. Still waiting for stuff like Dwarf Therapist, but for the first time I’m playing DF without tons of add-ons and it’s actually pretty neat. I’m looking forward to all the FUN I’ll be having! :P

r1veRRR, do gaming w What games have you played due to FOMO?

Nier Automata. I really hated the replaying it part. The combat gets incredibly boring after the first two playthroughs. I also found the supposedly “deep” story to be extremely lacking, very on the nose and, like way too much japanese entertainment, bipolar when it comes to emotions.

QualifiedKitten, do piracy w Some noob questions about seedboxes

I'm definitely not an expert, but I've been using Whatbox for many years without any issues. I'm based in the US and have it set up to autocharge the same card that I use for everything else. I do not use a VPN or anything else to access Whatbox.

I have received plenty of DMCA notices from Whatbox over the years, and they just require you to delete the offending content within 24 hours or your account will be locked until you do.

In fact, I vaguely recall them increasing my storage allowance a few years ago without raising my rate, so that was pretty cool.

Tadpole7085,

Cool to hear! Do you actually need to delete the content in order to comply, or simply stop seeding?

QualifiedKitten,

I've never actually tested that out. If it's content I want long term, I simply download it to my local storage before deleting from Whatbox.

What I've found works best for me when using public trackers for new content is to set up a max seeding ratio and whatever relevant *arrs. Doing it that way means that I've usually been able to download the content and stop seeding before the swarm is discovered/monitored by those sending the notices.
