EvaUnit02, do gaming w Fighting game stick recommendations?
@EvaUnit02@kbin.social avatar

I can't think of any wireless sticks off the top of my head other than 8Bitdo's offering. They're generally not legal at tournaments.

Personally, I like just about anything from Hori. I like their Fighting Edge stick a great deal. It doesn't seem to be in production anymore, unfortunately. I've since modified mine pretty extensively but I liked it a lot right out of the box.

I have a Qanba Obsidian that I use whenever I play games on my computer. Again, it's out of production but Qanba now offers the Obsidian 2.

They're two of my favorite sticks and I own a lot.

SteleTrovilo,

Thank you! I hadn’t heard of Qanba before - they definitely have some interesting joysticks.

HovringSquidworld97A,

The 8BitDo stick has been pleasant to use, and is compatible with a ton of systems. Why is it banned at tournaments? Wireless? Or something else non-standard about it?

Wireless. While players should be unpairing any controllers prior to their matches, sometimes they don't and a third party can wirelessly interfere (intentionally or not) with a match.

HovringSquidworld97A,

That makes sense, thanks!

KrombopulosMikl, do piracy w Proton VPN. How good is it?
@KrombopulosMikl@lemmynsfw.com avatar

I use their stuff. I can’t complain about their vpn. I generally have it on in the background by default and I’ve rarely had issues with speed. And if a server is slow there are tons of others to select from.

They claim they don’t keep logs and so far I haven’t had any reason to doubt that. This is their whole reason for being since the Snowden leaks.

I also use their email, but it’s not my primary email. That’s mostly because of my setup. I really hate web based email so I always use an email client and they offer ProtonMail Bridge that makes it possible to use it inside an email client, but until recently I was running Linux. I think I got fed up with fucking around with Thunderbird and the bridge tool, but I gave up. Now I have a Mac and their tool works flawlessly, so I’m using the ProtonMail a little more.

missveeronica,

I will only be using email for…private matters. Not my new personal address. But thank you for the response and recommendation.

WeAreAllOne,

Only if your other contacts have proton as well then you are ok. If it is google and the likes then it isn’t that private…

If you are on Linux and require port forwarding, there is a bit of work that needs to be done.

Otherwise, it’s very solid.

counselwolf, do gaming w Tip of My Tongue Stealth Game Puzzle in PSX/PS2

Damn I don’t know what’s different tonight but I found it already. It was Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions on PSX. I swear I already checked this before, and I thought it wasn’t it.

But upon watching some videos of it again (now with sound), I think this it. I vaguely remember the sound it makes when succeeding.

Anyways, thread over.

Hundun, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of August 27th

Trying to get into Baldurs Gate 3. Never played the original games, never played D&D, and this is the first hardcore RPG of this sort I’ve played in awhile.

It is a bit of a struggle - the game is intimidatingly big and deep. I am also having troubles wrapping my head around the battle systems, and the random skill checks really don’t make much sense to me (am I expected to save scam in this game?)

But all that seems to be a question of habit. I went into the game for the joy of exploration and discovery, and I hope to lose myself in it very soon.

Ellvix,

Nice! I’m not too far off that, but I have a touch of experience with DnD and played the first Divinity game for a few hours (before losing interest). REALLY enjoying BG3 so far. It’s miles beyond that first game, which was a bit jenky and not as well written.

Save scumming required? no not at all. It’s a DnD style game, so the way the quests play out will change but barring a full party wipe you shouldn’t need to reload much. But do I save scum to get better roles so I can loot the chest? absolutely.

Sonarr / radarr / *arr. There are a bunch but this should be enough to look it up.

riley0, do piracy w Where's the go-to place for UK TV, that I could reasonably get into?
@riley0@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I watch UK TV with a VPN–BBC, UKTV, Channel 4, ITV. You have to find a UK address for iplayer, but that’s not too hard with a search engine. I started doing it with Surfshark, then BBC got better at recognizing VPNs. You need to do some homework around that, and don’t believe most online advice, as it tends to be paid advertising.

missveeronica, do piracy w Best place to get forced subtitles?

If it’s a MKV, it’ll probably have them.in the file. You just need to use Handbrake and select the correct track to burn.into the file if you convert to a MP4.

@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Proton is the way to go. For $12 or whatever it is these days, I get a subscription to Proton VPN, Mail, Calandar, Drive, and Pass (a password manager). I also get 500gb of storage. The VPN is fast enough I leave it on all the time, even when gaming.

kentucky444, do games w Armored Core 6 - Chapter 2 Final Boss
@kentucky444@lemmy.world avatar

I made the commitment to play exclusively midrange weapons (effective range 130-260) without melee on my first playthrough.

This boss felt like bullshit. Balseus was a challenge, this was simply a matter completely changing your build/playstyle, or you’re gonna hit a wall.

After ~12 tries, I google a build: tank base (which I swore to never touch in my first playthrough) 2 gatling guns and two songbirds.

With that, completely melted the boss on the first try. It was trivial, just hit it with the songbirds and continue building up stagger with the gatling guns. It felt like bullshit.

I know that maybe you’re supposed to adapt and slightly change my build, but everything should be viable and fun.

If anyone with a mid-range built (no melee, only bipedal) was able to kill it, would really like to know how.

Mrdrbojangles,

I just beat it with what I would consider mid range, I did use the starting blade for critical hits though. Mostly being in the air a lot is what helped, full blowing the altitude to avoid the claw attacks really helps. https://i.imgur.com/ydgLYuT.jpg

KittyCat,

I beat him last night in about 6 tries with a super lightweight build, starting sword in legt and the pulse machine gun in right.

I just never let him get away from me and stayed point blank the entire fight. With high speed you can weave between the missiles.

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

Everything which is aired on the public channels lands in the mediathek and you can legally download it for a while. Here is a handy search tool:

mediathekviewweb.de

prenatal_confusion,

While that is a nice service and a great resource it’s not what I meant. I was looking for shows produced by Amazon or the like explicitly for the German market.

Devjavu, do piracy w What about non-torrents sites serving cracked software?

Some possible issues are:

It could be a honeypot. While this likely won’t be the case, if you connect to a website and download directly from there, depending on your browser and os, general privavy and anonymity, they might be able to fingerprint you. Check against some other databases from sites that you visited today that have your real name and you’re bust. Unlikely, but possible.

If the website gets shut down because of suspicion of malicious activity and they intentified visitors, again, through a fingerprint or similar, it’s beasically the same as a honeypot.

So basically, the complexity of modern web browsing is the general issue. How do you circumvent this? Ideally you don’t. Just use a torrent with a p2p VPN in a secure and anonymous manner and you don’t even have to worry about your Javascript canvas.

Kissaki,
@Kissaki@feddit.de avatar

You lay out a highly sophisticated attack when it’s simple to adjust the downloaded software to call home. Why would anyone invest that much into something like that (you left out where “some other databases” would be and how reliable they would be) when there are much simpler and more reliable approaches?

Devjavu,
