lyam23, do gaming w How does multiplayer gaming fit into your life?
@lyam23@beehaw.org avatar

It doesn’t. I’m not really interested in multi-player games of any kind. Partly because I don’t have the time to git gud, and partly because my gaming interest is primarily getting lost in a narrative world.

acastcandream, do gaming w What's a good game you played with an awful tutorial?

Exo-Primal. Seriously it is really, really fun. But the tutorial is awful. It’s so slow-paced and then it takes a few hours of playing to really have the game show you what it is. By hour 7 or so though i was hooked and it’s just kept delivering.

nekahat, do piracy w Is it wrong to pirate movies I've purchased digitally and load onto my Plex server?
@nekahat@hexbear.net avatar

It’s wrong to pay for movies so technically yes.

adonkeystomple,

Would you care to elaborate? I don’t really see how it would be wrong?

That was a joke.

Deemix with a Deezer free trial for good quality, free is 128kbps.

OfficerBribe,

You can also find ARL cookie strings for premium accounts around. Eventually they go down, but there always seem to be some available

McCainRBGcreampie, do piracy w What apps/programs should I get
@McCainRBGcreampie@hexbear.net avatar

Office is obviously handy. Download a legitimate release and activate using this. Other than that, I only use pirated software on an airgapped computer.

PeWu,

I’ve come to enjoy Onlyoffice. It’s free, has cool features, and it has slick, dark mode

1337x is good for flac discographies

Limeaide,

Noob question

Whenever I search for 1337x or any other site someone recommends, how do I know which one is reliable? Because if I search in Google, DuckDuckGo, or any other search engine, I get results with domains ending in .is .to. .tw .skin .net etc.

Are they all just different proxies to the same thing or is there a list of reliable links?

000999,
chemsed, do pcgaming w Just got my first entry level gaming pc! i have about 30 bucks to spend, what should i get for it?

Here are my recommandations on what is better on PC because of the advantage of mouse and keyboard vs controller by genre:

Strategy: the first thing I wanted to do when I bought my PC is to play Age of Empire 2 and Starcraft 2 and they still are the top games of the genre. It’s night and day compared to their console games like Halo Wars. I recommend also the Civilisation series.

Simulators: Cities Skylines and Microsoft flight simulator are fun games and nothing looks like it on console.

MOBA: AFAIK, MOBAs like DOTA 2 and League of Legends only exist on PC because it’s unplayable on controller. I don’t like these kinds of games, but it’s still something that you won’t find on console.

FPS: A mouse let you have better control on your aim, but it’s less relevant in games with crossplay multiplayer where the aim assist on controller is strong like in Apex Legends and Halo Infinite. Recently, a lot of people enjoy Battlebit.

Awall,

Although Cities Skylines is the goat city builder it’s not the cheapest game in the world with all of the DLC which adds a huge amount to the game. I’d definitely wait it out with CS2 right on the horizon. If you can get the first game on a wicked sale it’s still worth it but CS2 is looking amazing!

TheOakTree, do gaming w Doing things in games because it simple felt good.

By the time I started playing Forza Horizon 5, I had already completed a vast majority of the content in FH4. Once I started FH5 I found myself doing a lot less missions/races and instead just hopping in a pretty sounding or nicely handling or gorgeous looking car and seeing if I can drift some corner or launch myself off a ramp and land on a piece of road.

It just feels good.

Guild Wars 2 falls into this category for me. Being from the boom of MMORPGs I’m not sure if the deva figured everyone would just get it kr what. The game has a lot of odd choices in places and it does a poor job explaining those choices or even pointing them out.

RichByy, do gaming w What's a good game you played with an awful tutorial?
@RichByy@beehaw.org avatar

Voices of the Void. Even though it does talk about the basics of the game, it really didn’t make the important aspects of these basics that aren’t known from other games clear at all.

It’s a demo, however, so that’s excusable, even if the tutorial was actually reworked too… I dunno why you need to launch it in order to get into the game though. :D

Raft is really fun but explains very little about how things work.

Buelldozer, do piracy w Looking for that one MS Word version
@Buelldozer@lemmy.today avatar

What do you mean by “All in one save menu?” / “not windows save menu but built in save menu”? Do you mean pre-ribbon interface, because that was introduced in Office 2007 and would mean that you’re looking for MS Word 2003 or earlier.

Here, have a look at this visual history of MS Word, it may help jar your memory about which one you’re after.

I mean when you save documents then a save window come up, the built-in save menu save everything in it like save docs to other formats (pdf dot…), save to a specific location, edit author… all in one window but the one have right now I have right doesn’t have that, here is a pictures how I remembered it https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/5ae936fe-dcf6-45bf-aff2-02eb8a8dad93.png

You should be able to replicate that even in Word 365 (Desktop) by opening Word, going to Options, (or File then options if you have a document open) click the Save category on the left then check (or unchecking) the box for “Don’t show the Backstage when opening or saving files with keyboard shortcuts”.

In the latest version of Word 365 if I check that box I get the floating Save dialog. If I uncheck it I get the embedded version.

Thing is I’m pretty sure that option, or something very similar, has existed in the same place with every Word version since 2013 and perhaps even 2010. You can learn more about “Backstage” here.

I think the Circuit Board Background / Theme was introduced along with theming in either 2010 or 2013 and can still be done even in the latest versions of Word 365. You can find out how to do that here.

downvotee,

The backstage is the worst piece of shit, I hate it.

TheMadnessKing, do piracy w What's the best piracy for music?

Deemix to DL all your music. And media servers like JellyFin/Emby/Plex to host the data. That’s the only way to get the best Music Exp.

ZeroHora, do piracy w Where do i find sea charts for sailing? (Baltic sea)
@ZeroHora@lemmy.ml avatar

Is that a innuendo for piracy stuff or I’m too dumb?

ekky43,

It’s meant quite literally. Sea charts are expensive, yo.

Been looking for some myself, my old nav has some ~20 year old charts, but I’m greedy, and I haven’t sunk yet.

I’ve been jumping between Genshin Impact (Fontaine recently released), Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and Baldur’s Gate 3. I haven’t made much progress in Genshin or BG3 because I’m having so much fun in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk lol
