Reocken, do piracy w Have you considered IRC?

Since RARBG shut down, I been using IRC more often for 2160p releases that are tougher to come by. Also, I never stopped using it for chatting. You won't ever catch me using that bloated Discord garbage.

Could you tell a resourse for 2160p releases? Did not know IRC could be used also for such “big files”.

hottari, do piracy w Whats your preferred codec?

Can’t get enough of x265. The size to quality ratio is very good and all my hardware supports it.

hyper,

I know right! I was confused when I first encountered x265 files because I thought it was too small lol.

hubobes, do piracy w Whats your preferred codec?

Never really thought about it. Just download whatever and Plex then transcodes it if necessary…

hyper,

Valid 😄

Sandman89, do xbox w Giving away a Gamepass Ultimate code (for new accounts only)

Any chance this is still available? I would love to have it for my wife.

nitefox,

Yeah, seems like it still is!

Sandman89,

How do I use it?

nitefox,

You find the missing letter, which is the last letter of the alphabet, and replace the asterisk with it. Then you go on redeem.microsoft.com and use it

Xianshi, do piracy w Whats your preferred codec?

I prefer x264 since all my devices can play it, though x265 is great for file sizes.

Kidnose,

This. I actually went the opposite route to OP, replaced everything 265 to 264 to avoid playback issues. My content is played on many different devices so 265 simply won’t cut it.

What kind of devices won’t play x265? I’ve got some rather old hardware and it seems to work just fine on everything.

IceSeaHunter,

I sometimes stream from my 2014 ultrabook to my TV… never had a problem with x264, but some x265 encodings cut out/freeze/lag during scenes where a lot is happening (motionwise)

ArcaneSlime,

Same, laptop from '15, TV from '09. If you’re on linux what did you use to reencode, ffmpeg? Never even occurred to me I could do that lol.

IceSeaHunter,

I’ve been using Handbrake for a while now - albeit on Windows. It is available for Linux but I can’t guarantee it’s the exact same experience.

Stephen304,

For me the math worked out that it was cheaper to get a nuc with quick sync than to pay for the extra storage h264 uses, it’s less than half the bitrate (usually ~2Mbit for 1080 compared to 8+), I have 23TB of content and my Intel nuc power efficiently transcodes to h264 on demand if the device needs it.

I didn’t get malware yesterday, here are the sites I visited:

BrandoCalrissian9229,

I have firefox as it were

jessica,

That’s interesting. Less than one minute after posting this, you said you used Brave.

BrandoCalrissian9229,

indeed. I use both. I happen to have brave AND firefox on my laptop, as I’ve been making the transition to firefox the last few months. I’m entirely on firefox on my desktop, but I mainly use brave on my laptop. I used it to stream the aforementioned things on Saturday

mayo, do piracy w I got some malware yesterday, here are the sites I visited as a warning

This was a popup in browser only? Closing browser closed popup?

BrandoCalrissian9229,

so the way it worked was that it would only open the popup when the browser was opened and it would open it in a separate window. I could close it out but upon restarting the browser the popup would come back up.

After this I performed a scan with windows defender, which found and quarantined two things it labeled as trojans, and then with malware bytes, which found a couple of other bits of malware that I can’t remember how it was labeled. Seems like it’s all cleaned up now

Squid777, do gaming w I understand cosmetic DLCs, but cosmetic "battle passes" are bad
@Squid777@kbin.social avatar

I say this as someone who doesn't like MTX, but I've never understood how optional cosmetics ever factor into whether a game is "complete". The only way they could be seen as an important part of the game is if you play games to play dressup. Which I get if you're playing a fashion designer style game or a game thats almost purely social, but in the majority of games they don't fucking matter at all. How do people get so bent out of shape about them?

The only way they could be seen as an important part of the game is if you play games to play dressup.

You really shouldn't be but I feel you'd be surprised how many people, especially MMORPG players, care about this. I personally play GW2 a lot and since there's no gear treadmill unlocking cosmetics is one of the main goals you can actually do there, to show off your accomplishments or hard work. Ofc it's not the only thing keeping players engaged but it is a major part of it.

Besides, if it didn't matter to players then it wouldn't be monetized as much in the first place. So whenever I see this argument "well its just cosmetics so it doesnt matter:", I get kinda frustrated because obviously it matters, obviously it works which is why it's still a thing to monetize so much.

I'm not arguing it doesn't matter, I'm arguing it shouldn't matter.

all-knight-party, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 20th
@all-knight-party@kbin.cafe avatar

Continuing my first time playthrough of Apollo Justice on my way through the rest of the Ace Attorney series.

And returning to Death Stranding since I beat the game to max out the prepper shelters (mission givers) and to slowly work towards Legend of Legends (completing every single repeatable mission on "hard" mode).

Now that the story is over Death Stranding is a fantastic "throw on a podcast and grind" kind of game. Very soothing.

Still working through side quests in Borderlands 3 as well. Really enjoying the shooting in this one. As acclaimed as 2 is, I just couldn't stand the shooting model until at least Pre Sequel, but 3's shooting genuinely feels quite good now.

itsgroundhogdayagain,

I loved Death Stranding, it’s one of my few platinum trophies on Playstation. looking forward to the sequel that I just recently heard about.

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

I'm a PC player so I probably won't get to play the second one for quite a long time, but I'm excited as well. Kojima doesn't usually iterate in a straightforward manner in sequels, so it's hard to know just quite what we'll get out of it.

Death Stranding was already one of the most novel and interesting games I've ever played in both story and gameplay, so I'm glad we'll get to see some more of it.

sigmaklimgrindset,

I hope you enjoy the Apollo Justice series! Will you be playing the Investigations series with Edgeworth too?

I played all the Ace Attorney games for the first time during the pandemic and had an absolute blast! The Great Ace Attorney duology is definitely my favourite of the bunch by far, but they are all so charming!

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

As a kid I endlessly replayed the original trilogy and never wanted to try Apollo because "I thought his hair looked dumb", so after trying it now and realizing that even with a new character it's still Ace Attorney I won't be skipping any other games.

So yes, I'll be doing the Edgeworth Investigations next! I'm excited. Eventually I'll make my way through the 3DS titles and then to Great Ace Attorney too.

buedi,

Is there a way around the stealth / hiding from the black fog thingy or does it get less as you progress? This is the only thing that held me back playing further. And I was so impressed by everything else in the game. It is a bit sad, I really want to continue playing.

reric88,
@reric88@beehaw.org avatar

You do get a way to combat them fairly easily later on, but it’s still usually best to avoid them unless they are very dense or blocking your path directly. It does not become less frequent, it gets more frequent, but you can actually engage them

buedi,

Thank you. Knowing that I am able to deal with them other than trying so sneak around them will make things easier :-)

I don’t know how to do spoiler tags, so I deleted that comment 😵‍💫

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

They won't go away, but you will eventually learn and see where they are. Sometimes you'll have to engage them, a lot of the time you can get around them.

They're not in all areas, but you will be able to understand how to deal with them and once you can fight back you can handle them.

I was terrified by them in the beginning and didn't want to have to deal with them, but now I really think they're cool and enjoy taking them down. You really go from helpless and confused to knowledgeable and prepared.

buedi,

Thank you very much. I guess I just have to pick it up and get through this. I loved everything else of it, so I am sure it is worth it :-)

ReversalHatchery,

It is wild if jetbrains actually gave them IDE licenses, and that other company M1 macs

Edit: I’ve just looked into it a bit more and those badges are coming from the prismlauncher repo, which is the direct upstream of poly

bonfire921,

If I recall pollymc had a controversy about something that made everyone drop it for some reason, can’t recall what it was though

LuycYQ2uUiTjR3yLri,

PolyMC (with one L) is the launcher that had the controversy. Prism Launcher was forked from PolyMC, and PollyMC (with 2 Ls) is a new project forked from Prism Launcher.

bonfire921,

Ah I see didn’t know there was a new one, interesting that they carried the name and added an L, could be a turn off for a lot of people

QuazarOmega,

It’s just a nod to pirates, now me wants cracker!

nakukono,

I think polymc and pollymc are two different things.

LiveLM, (edited )

The PolyMC controversy is that one of the devs went rogue and kicked everyone else off the project, so they didn’t really have a choice but to fork. They explain what happened on the FAQ of their website.
