Maximilious, do gaming w Sea of Stars (2023) review thread
@Maximilious@kbin.social avatar

I learned about this title too late to back the Kickstarter but absolutely loved The Messenger and SoS demo. I am very miffed that LRG distributed the KS but other physicals are being released by iam8bit. I'm currently waiting on Eastward CE that I purchased last July through iam8bit and they keep pushing the release back. They are claiming an early Q1 2024 release for this title but I'm VERY sceptical of that date.

maybe cinemaz.to but it’s private also

You have exemple of content you’re looking for, I could check if it is there?

Sportsurge.to has worked decent for me the last 2 seasons.

Keeboy,

Do they have on demand or only live?

lustrum,

Ah crap, sorry misread your title. It’s live.

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.

GamesRevolution, do piracy w Whats your preferred codec?
@GamesRevolution@programming.dev avatar

I really love AV1, it’s very small in file size and it’s completely free, meaning that it should play anywhere were it was implemented

hyper,

Are there scene releases that are encoded in AV1?

ruben,
@ruben@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

There are a moderate amount of tightly connected releasers who encode and release AV1. Just add av1 to any search on 1337x and you can find them.

@kaya@eviltoast.org avatar

Wish AV1 was more widely used, better licensing than x265 while same compression afaik

LufyCZ,

It’s open, so no licensing.

Also, compression-wise, it’s either equal or better from what I’ve seen

s. to, you may need to use the IP so go over Aniworld. to and use their directory. Its streaming.

d4sm4dd1n, do piracy w What's the best way to rip music off Spotify so that I can store it on my HDD?

I found this tool www.sidify.de a while ago. They have a paid solution, which you could pirate a crack for on a site of your choice. Maybe not the best solution, but it downloads the Tracks/Playlists/Albums by recording the audio and adding all the metadata.

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.

@danielquinn@lemmy.ca avatar

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.

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

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.

junusdenised420, do piracy w Where might I get German (mostly tv) content?

If you are using jackett or prowlarr then filter the indexers by language and only select the german ones and try to get into them. Some will let you fill out a form to get an invite

@ayaya@lemdro.id avatar

For codecs it is highly dependent on the release group. For 4K it is the only valid option, but for 1080p a lot of groups make their x265 encodes too small and sacrifice quality. Take a look at the group rankings in the trash guides for sonarr and radarr for a general idea if who is the best/worst.

As for Tdarr, you should only really use it for audio and subtitle processing. For one you should not re-encode video so unless you’re starting with remuxes you’re further degrading video that is already degraded. And for two it’s best left to the people who know what settings to tweak for each movie or episode. There is no universal setting that works well for everything so while you might be able to get acceptable quality with automation it’s never going to be great. The best groups already took the time and effort to get it right so you might as well get those and save yourself the time/electricity.
