ryven, do games w Why do modern strategy games hate the grid?
@ryven@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

It’s not the lack of a grid specifically that bothers me in BG3, it’s that there are a lot of scenarios where in tabletop an enemy would be ruled to have cover, but in BG3 the shot is simply obstructed and your character needs to move before they can take it.

Also sometimes the automatic positioning for melee attacks is bad and will tell you that you can’t reach, but if you click to move and then click to attack you actually can.

Also the fact that AoE spells target the ground specifically instead of an arbitrary point in space, which means in some areas you get weird situations where the enemies are close enough together to fireball all of them but you can’t do it from your location because the spot where you need to place the fireball is in a slight depression that you can’t see into from where you are.

Also there is some weirdness about casting AoEs through doorways, where even if you can see someone that doesn’t mean you can fireball them because it’s treating the fireball “projectile” as being wider than I would expect, so that it can only go through at certain angles.

I do think a grid system would be less likely to have these issues, but they could be fixed without it.

Huh. Never heard of this before.

But if I'm being honest, crappy indie pixel art games are a dime a dozen, so it takes a lot to overcome my general resistance to games like this. It can happen, though... Dave the Diver, Blasphemous... it's just a much steeper uphill battle for pixel art games than other styles.

Get stremio.

Psythik,

This. Stremio is exactly what you’re looking for OP. Works just like Netflix, runs on your TV. Every show/movie from every streaming platform is there.

Just make sure to install the Torrentio and Streaming Catalogs plugins to get the free content to show up. I also recommend a Real-Debrid subscription cause it it allows you to stream instantly without delay. (In fact, you can download any torrent you want instantly with Debrid.)

chimmy_chonga,

Is this possible without torrents? Like getting content from a streaming website rather than torrents?

Psythik,

Stremio uses torrents, but they’re direct downloads. Everything is stored on a separate server. It’s similar to a seed box, except no waiting cause the files were already downloaded beforehand by what’s called a “Debrid service”.

You can also use Debrid to directly download any torrent you want, not just movies and TV. I have a gigabit connection so it’s way faster than any torrent client could ever dream to achieve.

i find most music i search for in higher quality (doesn’t have everything) on slavart.gamesdrive.net

it’d be a pain to download full playlists tho

maxprime,

Lidarr can do this, but it downloads the full album of each song which may or may not be a feature in your use case.

Valmond,

Gotta read upp on all these arr! softs, looks like there is a whole eco system around them too.

squaresinger,

Huh, doesn’t sound too bad. Adblocker takes care of the ads. Slow host, oh well. And the last point I don’t understand.

Tippon,

IGG /nosteam uploads presumably means that they are the sources of the games. I don’t know a huge amount about game piracy, but it sounds like IGG / nosteam are not trustworthy.

Infiltrated_ad8271, (edited )
@Infiltrated_ad8271@kbin.social avatar

IGG is very toxic website that has a history of adding various types of malware (both web and games), including cryptominers.
It's higher on that list, even though for some reason it only highlights the (barely coherent) silliness that it has DRM.

I'm not know the nosteam website, it's odd that they mention it on the list but it's not listed.

Pantrygheist,

Never looked in IGGs direction ever since their spat with gog-games. It showed me they would bury other crackers if they had the chance.

Ganbat,

FMHY’s mod team has moved from Reddit, or at least isn’t as active as they used to be.

They run a site where these lists are gonna be better maintained.

Closed-source AI models.

Books3 corpus would like you to know that all the data in it is from copyrighted books. It has reportedly been widely used in closed-source AI LLMs. “Rules for thee, not for me” shit. They’ll break copyright and then copyright what they made from it.

huggingface.co/datasets/the_pile_books3

Books3 is literally everything from the Bibliotik private tracker for books.

So yeah, fuckin roll out the cannons, mateys, let’s sink these hypocritical fuckers.

Even_Adder,

You’re allowed to train on copyrighted works, it isn’t illegal for anybody. This article by Kit Walsh does a good job of breaking it down. She’s a senior staff attorney at the EFF.

dingus,
@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

I didn’t say it was illegal, I said it was hypocritical.

Even_Adder,

Oh, my bad.

aldalire,

This has the same vibe as Github (owned by microsoft) training its AI Copilot on repositories under the GPL license, which specifically forbids any work based on it not be made proprietary. Literally a blatant disregard for the license, but it’s ok because it’s a mega-corporation doing it

PowerStone 2. 4-player full-freedom game. Think Super Smash meets WWE games, but with pulp adventure theming (including a kinda stereotypical T-Hawk-style indigenous dude) and a vaguely Tezuka retro-anime art style. That and Virtual On Oratio Tangram (which is like if Armored Core was a fighting game) were reasons to own a Dreamcast for innovative fighting games.
