telepresence, do piracy w A good place to listen to audio books online?
@telepresence@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

these two tools apparently let you rip borrowed audiobooks from this service named libby. although i haven’t tested them. github.com/ping/odmpygithub.com/bookbonobo/libby-download-extension

also, have you checked the index? stuff like this is usually there.

They asked for audiobook sites online. They’d have to download for that so that wouldn’t work unfortunately. I saved your comment though because it’s still useful.

There’s quite a wide range of reviews. I tend to trust the ones who talk about how much fun the side content and faction quests a lot more than I trust the ones that were underwhelmed by the main questline. I’ve been playing these games since Oblivion and the only main questline I ever finished was Fallout NV.

refurbishedrefurbisher, do piracy w Is there a desktop app with similar UX to Cloudstream?

With Stremio, there is no email verification. You can just put in a fake email in the signup and it will go through.

LazyCrow,

Wait, so what’s the account for?

refurbishedrefurbisher,

It tracks your watch history and play positions, syncs across different devices, and can have a watchlist of both movies and TV shows.

Like, you can start an episode of something on your PC, then continue on your phone.

Also syncs all of your addons, including Torrentio and all of its settings.

LazyCrow,

That sounds pretty convenient, although I’m a bit worried about the privacy side, it would seem that making a guest account is a good enough compromise at least

if you login as a Guest User, no personal data is collected whatsoever.

refurbishedrefurbisher,

I don’t worry too much about them collecting data. Not much data to collect, and I’m using fake info.

But yeah, you can totally use a guest account.

OpenBooks by Evan buss on GitHub. It’s an irc based downloader and I have been able to find even the most obscure stuff with it. At least so far.

jordanlund, do gaming w Switch 2 - launch games?
!deleted7836 avatar

If you look at the Switch titles:

1-2-Switch - Some game to show off new features.
Just Dance 2017
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Cross gen game.
Skylanders: Imaginators - Merch game.
Super Bomberman R
I Am Setsuna
Tokyo RPG Factory
Snipperclips - Another new feature game.
Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove - Shovelware
Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment - Shovelware
Fast RMX

I could see either a new Mario game launching on the Switch and Switch 2, maybe a Metroid game instead. Zelda will be too old and played out by then, but then Zelda fans love buying the same game over and over.

niisyth,

Hold the GODDAMN heck up, did you just call Shovel Knight Shovelware??? b r u h

jordanlund,
!deleted7836 avatar

Ported from another platform with little to no effort?

It’s the literal definition of shovelware.

The Switch was literally the last of 11 platforms it launched on.

niisyth,

That’s called a port my dude.

jordanlund,
!deleted7836 avatar

With no new features or nothing added to take advantage of unique Switch capabilities = shovelware.

ryven, (edited )
@ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

It’s worth noting, I think, that the definition of shovelware has slipped somewhat since it was coined like thirty years ago, and I think this is leading to you and niisyth talking past each other. Shovel Knight for Switch was maybe shovelware by the original definition, which was “shovel a bunch of old software onto a CD and resell it,” but by the Wii era people were using it to refer to software that is just bad, but exists to trick people into buying it by promising to be more full-featured than it actually is. The Wii had so many titles like this that it seemed like they were “shoveling” shit directly onto store shelves and calling it games. In this new definition, it refers to titles like My Horse and Me or Imagine Party Babyz. So if they are thinking of the newer usage, it sounds like you’re insulting Shovel Knight’s quality as a game.

jordanlund,
!deleted7836 avatar

Yeah, never once heard that definition ever.

niisyth,

Also, by your definition, Skyrim and Witcher 3 are also Shovelware.

Which, I want you to think hard about for maybe 1 min.

jordanlund,
!deleted7836 avatar

On the Switch? They absolutely were. An afterthought at best.

WarmSoda, do games w Starfield - Review Thread (87/100 OpenCritic)

How long did these reviews play the game for?

Nilz,

Gamespot did 55 hours and IGN started NG+ at 60 hours according to their respective video reviews.

WarmSoda, (edited )

Cool, thanks.

Edit: I just read one that played 70+ hours and even two characters. I was afraid these people were rushing through the game to get reviews out but glad to see that isn’t the case.

DulyNoted,

All of the most positive reviews I’ve read have been at 80+ hours. Still finding new things to do, which is a good sign.

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

Before it goes live

Pretty excited to get my hands on this game 5 days later! Reviews are surprisingly more split than I expected, with some calling it an easy 10/10 while others call it shallow. The general impressions are: If you like Fallout, you’ll love this game. I like Fallout, so I’m in.

By the way, IGN gave this game a 7/10, which is a new one for them because they hand out 9/10s like candy.

This game is on my to buy list, but probably in a few years when they have ironed out all the issues and dropped the DLC in a GOTY or whatever edition they make later.

@weeahnn@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll probably wait to see what kind of performance people are getting before I make the jump.

thessnake03,

Part of me wants to drop coin over the weekend to upgrade my outdated system just to play ASAP. The other part of me knows waiting is better

donuts,
@donuts@kbin.social avatar

Next year's value proposition on PC parts is almost always better than this year's. (Except for NVidia for some reason.)

Martorias,

Console is downscaled and 30fps and one guy on pc had 45-70fps 1440p high settings using a 3600x/2080ti. But yeah, more performance info should pop up soon :)

Ertebolle,

I'm thinking Steam Deck. Or wait for the Switch 2 and expect a port to that (Microsoft seems to have no problem putting exclusives on Nintendo platforms, c.f. Ori)

_spiffy,
@_spiffy@lemmy.ca avatar

Yea I’m a linux gamer so waiting to see if it works for me is basically mandatory. Good way to stop pre-ordering lol.

FMT99,

I kind of enjoyed fallout but it did feel very shallow for an RPG. I’m hoping this one does a bit better in that regard but I’m trying to temper my expectations.

darth_helmet,

Fallout had a lot of clever environmental storytelling, vignettes in random buildings, drama happening via terminal logs throughout abandoned factories, etc.

I hope that Starfield hasn’t gotten rid of that aspect of their world building.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

It’s what Bethesda does best so I’ll be astounded if it’s not still present

WarmSoda,

Yeah that ign number threw me off lol. Good for them!

Ace0fBlades,

I think many ambitious games recently get divisive ratings. I remember many cyberpunk 2077 reviews rated it highly praising the (imo excellent) highs while minimizing the lows before many reviewers bashed it for the bugs and incomplete scope. When these reviews come out it almost feels like the reviewers are scared to be the first to open the “hey it’s bad” floodgates

rDrDr,

I feel the opposite. Everyone wants to be the first to dunk on a popular game. That gets you more clicks than just another 9/10.

hardypart, do piracy w Where might I get German (mostly tv) content?
@hardypart@feddit.de avatar

One click hosters are pretty popular in Germany, so you will find lots of German stuff hosted one one of these. The most popular ones right now are rapidgator and ddownload. You will need special websites and forums for finding the links, though.

rufus, (edited )

You mean special websites like serienfans.org and funxd.site?

hardypart,
@hardypart@feddit.de avatar

Yes. I just didn’t feel too comfortable posting these links here ;)

rufus,

Hehe. I figured it’s alright per the rules. And it’s not my job to censor myself but the mods’ job. Also Lemmy belongs to the people and not some large corporation.

Sailing7,

Here is also a good page to get a overview of what websites there are available: (the site is a little dated, so be aware of that) startseite(dot)to

pcjones, do piracy w Where might I get German (mostly tv) content?

Usenet is the secret for German stuff. I have a German beginners guide: github.com/PCJones/usenet-guide

LazyKoala,

Danke Brudi, top gemacht!

I’ve known Bethesda as the: “fun bug ridden producer” i’m curious to see what this does as it’s time to step away from delivering broken stuff.

forgotaboutlaye,

Yeah pretty surprised by the IGN review. But all in all I’m sold on the game already based on what I’ve seen and read.

Slwh47696,

That’s funny, I remember reading about how IGN always gives 9/10s back in like 2004 on the Gamefaqs forums, some things never change k guess

thoro, (edited ) do games w Starfield - Review Thread (87/100 OpenCritic)

I typically patient game nowadays. I still have games from two years ago to get to and I’m currently slowly playing through Baldur’s Gate 1 so I probably wasn’t going to Day 1 this anyway.

But I thought about it.

Tbh, while I don’t really care for the big name review sites, there’s enough mixed reviews on the storytelling, procedural generation, and RPG systems, that I think I’m going to keep this in my wishlist for a while.

Might look at it closer later in the year and when I have more free time or just wait for the inevitable GOTY edition
