Tilgare, do games w What games had easy soft locks that prevented you from either progressing or getting a true ending?

While playing Final Fantasy X the first time, I got to Old Zanarkand and inside the dome, I saved behind a sealed door in the Cloister of Trials. I wasn’t savvy to good saving practices and after solving the puzzle, got into a battle I was completely hopeless to defeat. There was no way to walk back out the door from which I entered, the only way out was through; and with my existing inventory, spells, charged up aeons, etc. I absolutely could not defeat the boss.

It was pretty crushing because this moment is so close to the end of the game, but I gave up and had to come back months (years?) later to fully start the game over. I think maybe I played 99+ hours of Final Fantasy VII and then decided to give X another try. The second time, I was much smarter with maintaining multiple save games for safety. Not to be bested again, I grinded up all of my limit breaks and aeons for safety and completely obliterated the boss in one go the next time around.

pastermil,

That Zanarkand Cloister of Trial is nowhere near the end

Tilgare,

Oh I vaguely remembered it being beyond the ¾ point, but also I wouldn’t have known and it certainly FELT like that was the case when I got soft locked.

BrownianMotion, do piracy w What is your go to music grabbing solution?
@BrownianMotion@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I use Lidarr for most music grabs. spotdl when Lidarr fails to find (which is uncommon since I use usenet). Then I use beets to manage music files <a href="">https://github.com/beetbox/beets</a> .

I have beets setup to run as a cron every 10 min, and it looks in the location that nzbget downloads to, and it automatically converts, fixes ID3s via musicbrainz db, and moves the completed files to my music section. Anything that beets doesnt see as a 95% match, I then manually run the script and choose the correct musicbrainz ID for the band/album.

Baku,

I like this approach

It works well, and you can trigger LMS (logitech media server) and Airsonic to update automatically. So if something goes in all automated, then your players will also ‘just’ have it available.

Baku,

That sounds like a dream. We’re there any specific tutorials you followed and could recommend or did you just try to click things into place until it all worked smoothly?

So Lidarr/NZBGet (or whatever you use) are pretty straight forward.

It gets complex with beets. Not that it is inherently complex, it just has an absolute shit ton of options. You want to start with a yaml config, and just get the feel of how it operates. There are lots of “howto’s” online, but unfortunately “beets” is a way to simple search. So you need to beef it with some specifics related to ahem music.

The manual and github do have it well documented. I would suggest starting with a subset of your collection, and just tinkering, (move files from /home/a to /home/b, convert to mp3 and fix ID3). It comes together pretty quickly. But the configurables of beets is crazy (in a good way).

Other things like triggering scans from LMS etc, they are documented on their respective sites.

I’ll fess up - its not immediately for the faint hearted, but its probably not that hard for most people - who actually read documents and learn.

Here you go, someones (slightly horrid) basic layout of how it can work.

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/pictrs/image/8b854b98-c047-4b74-8395-8f8747578c4c.png

You do not have to run a local of Musicbrainz (I do - because I can, it removes API limits but its expensive in storage and data) just point to the public instance. Also you could do Headphones, but I moved away from that years ago and have had a much happier experience with Lidarr.

YouTube, I installed YT music with Revanced for this very reason, Spotify or your regular streaming music app sucks for this.

ayaya, do piracy w Can I override Sonarr season numbers
@ayaya@lemdro.id avatar

You can manually import them to the correct episodes. You should be able to go off of episode names. Sonarr uses the TVDB and that is also what Plex/Emby/Jellyfin use normally so those are the numbers you probably want.

Honestly just don’t use it for everything. Sometimes the Metadata isn’t good. That plus being highly opinionated makes some niche cases not suitable for sonarr

captsneeze, (edited ) do piracy w Can I override Sonarr season numbers

When looking at the series page, if you expand the seasons down to list the contained episodes, are all of the episodes there (even if not in the “correct” season)? Or are several seasons worth of episodes just not listed at all? Which show?

@DemBoSain@midwest.social avatar

It’s Disenchantment. I just grabbed Season 5 manually and I’m going to put them in there as Season 3. It’s over anyway so I can just delete the show from Sonarr.

Project Zomboid is less narrative than what you’re looking for, I think, but when you start again in the same world you can find your previous character as a zombie.

empireOfLove, (edited ) do piracy w Direct Downloads always lead to "check internet connection"
@empireOfLove@lemmy.one avatar

This is why internet download manager (and other, similar download manager softwares) were originally created. Download managers track the amount of a file you’ve downloaded and will repeatedly retry when interrupted without restarting from zero.

Getting Warez in the pre-P2P era meant grabbing bits and pieces over a glacial ISDN or 33.6k modem line (if you were lucky- some of us bastards got 28.8k, or even 14.4k…) Everything was “direct download”. You had to use a download manager for anything larger than 30 megabytes because the chances of your line being interrupted were very very high, either by other phone users or by your ISP booting you off because you looked like a zombie modem being connected for 24 hours straight.

They still have their place. Try something open source like JDownloader. Or just pirate the pro version of IDM.

Lidarr for most, soulseek (slskd) for anything Lidarr can’t get in FLAC

@bloopernova@programming.dev avatar

I’d like a mouse with variable friction. Pair that with haptic feedback and you could make some very cool use cases, like simulating lock picking in RPGs.

@AlwaysNowNeverNotMe@kbin.social avatar

I had a steelseries mouse with some vibration settings. But I don't think it took game data, more like a few programmable bumps you could set up to trigger x seconds after you hit a mouse button.

EccTM,

Same, SteelSeries Rival 700. It could be used by games in the same way as a controller, but the game had to implement support specifically for it, and developers aren’t going out of their way to support a single gimmick mouse.

I think it had a few options to use the vibration for kill tracking or health alerts in CounterStrike, but that’s all I can remember, and I still never used it.
