I wrote a Matrix bot that can be used for my community to schedule gaming events. I just pick a time to play a particular game, and play with whoever shows up.

Sharpiemarker, do piracy w What's the deal with Steamunlocked.net?

Idk if any of you are old enough to remember NonSteamDown, an alternative Steam launcher that gave you access to all Valve’s games (when the only games you could get through Steam were Valve’s own titles). Completely unrelated to your question about Steamunlocked, it just triggered a core memory from my youth.

squaresinger,

Yeah, plenty old enough^^

Sharpiemarker,

Haha cheers!

Starglasses, do piracy w Are most of you using Torrents or Usenet?

I’m not. What are sonarr and radarr and why do you recommend them?

@stu@lemmy.pit.ninja avatar

Sonarr and radarr manage downloads for TV and movies in a nice way for Usenet and actually torrents as well. You can set up quality profiles and choose which shows and movies you want to download and they will grab torrents/nzbs that meet your preferences, automatically start them in your torrent app or Usenet downloader, and then organize them in folders with appropriate metadata for Kodi/Plex when the downloads complete. They automate the process very nicely.

Edit, I’m a Usenet guy if that wasn’t already clear lol

Flatworm7591,

How is Usenet for privacy compared to torrents, e.g. if a usenet service you are paying for is compromised at some stage are they likely to be able to identify you based on payment data for example?

mygully dot com. You need to log in but it has a lot of stuff. Not via torrent usually tough.

PeachMan, do piracy w What about non-torrents sites serving cracked software?
@PeachMan@lemmy.one avatar

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. It’s possible that this site you found is perfectly safe, but it’s also very possible that it’s a honeypot or they’re serving up their cracks with a side of malware. I would recommend known torrent websites and reputable crack builders. Running a custom, unsigned .exe is already a risky activity, don’t make it more dangerous.

Can only help with the last point - Nvidia Shield is a beast. I have two of the 2019 Pro and they’re just great, nothing comes even close. I’ve also had the 2017 version and it was great as well. Can’t speak for the base model, haven’t had a chance to try.

noctisatrae,

So it’s snappy and allows for sideloading ? To what extent can you remove the bloat of Google, privacy-wise?

Sharpiemarker,

It’s android, a you can set your own launcher rather than using Nvidia’s.

WeAreAllOne,

LineageOs is your friend. They have a rom for Nvidia Shield which I use for the last year 😉

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

For decades there have been a wide variety of shady filehosts that will happily host content with no regard for IP and offer downloading for the same (good for them). They manage to make money by offering “premium” subscriptions that allow to download without having to wait / bandwidth limitation (these days you even have services that try to mutualize such premium accounts between users for a smaller fee, using their proxy to serve their own users). For just as long there have been websites that index those direct filehost links, and make money through either ads or members donations. It’s an alternative to torrenting. Gog-games is an example of such an indexing website (there are many, many others). 1fichier is an example of the filehosters I mentioned above (same remark).

To answer your question, the reason they don’t go down is they routinely operate in jurisdictions that are hard to act on by LE in the imperial core; they also often pay lip service to DMCA requests by actually removing content after reports, though they’ll almost universally make the process complicated, long, and pretty useless (not removing identical files reachable from other links, for example).

Works for me, even though F1TV Pro isn’t normally available where I’m from.

lingh0e, do gaming w Need some local coop recommendations

How has this thread been up for half a damn day and no one has mentioned the Borderlands series (Smoogy@kbin.social at least mentioned Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep, but that was just a Borderlands 2 DLC which got re-released as a standalone.)

My wife and I put tons of hours into most of the the Borderlands series. I recommend playing them in release order.

  1. Borderlands is a fun shoot n’loot that’s got a loose plot, but it’s not terribly deep. It’s like a sci-fi road warrior feel. It’s a fun co-op game with plenty of DLC and replay value. My personal favorite.
  2. Borderlands 2 is all the fun of the first but they went all in on the writing and voice acting as well. It’s tons of fun. Arguably the best of the series in every aspect. It’s also tons of fun in couch co-op.
  3. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is the third game but canonically it’s the second. It’s the same concept but with new anti-gravity mechanics and lasers. It’s like Mad Max on the moon. I believe this started life as a DLC for BL2 before Gearbox decided to turn it into a fully fledged standalone game.
  4. Borderlands 3: It was a fun game with some really great level design, but the writing seemed forced. Worth a playthrough to see where they take the storyline.
  5. Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands - Borderlands meets DnD. A spin-off of the aforementioned Assault on Dragon Keep DLC. The game itself is a lot of fun, but it’s a miserable split screen co-op experience thanks to the terrible menu and inventory management system.
Rentlar,

I had no idea Borderlands series had a splitscreen co-op mode! I have done online co-op before and it was fun.

Rename it to something else, see if it still works, if not revert, else it is needed.

Ok, will try it.

EnderofGames, do gaming w How was inside for you?

INSIDE was easier than LIMBO, but a worthy spiritual successor. Very good in the genres of puzzle platformer and horror. No cheap tricks, just good work all the way through.

The story is VERY open ended, and I felt a little slighted at first, but it grew on me. As far as very open ended stories, so was LIMBO's.

MJBrune,

Really? I feel like 90% of it was just plowing ahead to realize what something does because the game wasn’t clear in the answer. Like I’m inside death is required to figure out what you need to do. Even if it’s not death it’s going forward, pressing a button, realizing you aren’t supposed to press the button and going back to press it again.

Honestly the biggest issue is the player verbs aren’t clear. There was one point that you have to hide behind a box but the game has never had that mechanic so you have no clue you can even do it. The game will respawn you hiding behind the box to explain the mechanic to you. So that’s essentially one place of forced death but there are dozens of examples of information you get the best after death.

I ended up using the quad legs, with two songbirds the starting pulse blade, and a bazooka. Topped off with a pulse armor extension.

Ended up taking a few tries, but with floating above the first phase and keeping it staggered, until the second phase it worked out really well.

I really need to learn how to make use of quad legs.

With the right generator and booster, I was able to hover under that bridge and never get hit by the lasers. It’s now in my saved rotation for boss fights.

Disgustoid, do gaming w How was inside for you?

I’m going to be the voice of dissension. I absolutely adored Limbo and bought Inside day one solely because of it. But Inside just didn’t hook me like Limbo did. Inside was perfectly fine but I never gave it a second thought once I finished it, unlike Limbo.

MJBrune,

I agree to be honest. Limbo seemed very touching and impact in its story. With inside the biggest argument I’ve seen is that the story is about individualism and working together but honestly, it didn’t feel like the story delivered the impact of the narrative as well as it could. Specially since losing your individuality was the best gameplay of the game.
