recnamoruen, do gaming w Does an MMO with no way to turn money into power exist?

If the game has any way to trade, it’s possible to buy power. Wow Classic or Guild Wars 2 are probably your only really options.

Czego oczekujesz od takiej lewicowej literatury? Pytam serio, bo pierwszy raz spotykam się z pojęciem lewicowej fantastyki. Raczej szedłbym w stronę interesujących Cię motywów, lub rozejrzał się za autorami o określonych poglądach

Would love a library of photos from Feininger or Salgado, paintings etc.

I would love a private tracker for art digitalizations.

0nyxee, do gaming w Gaming often fetishises the new but many great things exist in the past, so let's strap into our time machines and talk about our favourite games released before say 2010?

I definitely have a lot that really get me feeling nostalgic. Couldn’t even count the hours I spent playing games as a kid lol but here’s a random list of a few:

  • Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete (My favorite of all time)
  • Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age
  • Dragon Warrior VII
  • Final Fantasy: Tactics
  • Chrono Cross
  • Phantasy Star I and III
  • The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Minish Cap
  • The Sims 1
  • RuneScape
scribblemacher,

Putting DQ7 on here is almost a bit spicy, but I think it’s one of the best representations of the series in terms of scope, pacing, gameplay, and storytelling. It’s absolutely slow, but that was sort of the point.

0nyxee,

I definitely have a few controversial choices. But DQ7 is legitimately my favorite DQ game and I always thought it didn’t get the attention it deserved. It was a long one to get through though.

I’d argue that having Chrono Cross and not Chrono Trigger is even spicier lol. But I think it’s really just nostalgia since that’s what I sunk a lot of hours into back then. I remember hunting everywhere for Final Fantasy Chronicles because it included a copy of Chrono Trigger, but I could never get my hands on it.

scribblemacher,

I can get behind the CC vs CT take. I finished CT first circa 1998 but found it pretty boring (I have a better appreciation for it now). CC was a lot more enjoyable to me–combat had a lot going on, and the music is an unmitigated masterpiece.

Being his last name is Bowser i thought i had to be a joke. This is wild.

Had a partner want to practice hacking a 3ds before they closed the shop so I can play PS1 games. The first one I put on that mofo is Azure Dreams, my first and probably favorite dungeon crawler roguelike with a city builder. Also Breath of Fire IV is one of my absolute favorite games ever.

0nyxee,

Both Azure Dreams and BOF IV were great. Haven’t heard mention of them in years

Donkdonkboom, do gaming w Shattered Pixel Dungeon

Played it casually in spits and spurts. Never got that far, but enjoyed it. Very good game.

ono, do gaming w Shattered Pixel Dungeon

Yep. It’s an outstanding game in the classic roguelike style. Nice to have it available on both mobile and desktop, too.

donio, do gaming w Shattered Pixel Dungeon

Shattered is my roguelike of choice on mobile (along with Hoplite if that counts). On desktop I play DCSS and Brogue. Used to play a lot of Nethack too. Never ascended in any of them but that doesn’t make it any less fun.

noUsernamesLef7, do piracy w What do you use to actually manage your stuff?

For managing my library on disk, I just recently made the effort to set up the *arr apps. I love having the metadata, tagging, organizing, and file naming all consistent and automated. Previously I used mp3tag and filebot to manage them and it was way more manual. Everything is set up with docker-compose and Ansible.

Library file stuff:

  • Two Radarr instances, one for 4k and another for lower resolutions
  • Sonarr for TV
  • Lidarr for music
  • Two readarr instances, one for epub/pdf and one for audiobooks
  • Jackett
  • deluge+openVPN

For library frontend stuff:

  • Jellyfin for movies, tv, music, audiobooks
  • Plex, for when Jellyfin is acting up
  • Jellyseer for TV & movie requests
  • LaunchBox for videogames and emulators
  • Calibre + calibreWeb for ebooks & syncing to my Kobo eReader

Haven’t set up yet:

  • flaresolverr
  • unpackerr
  • audiobookshelf

Doesn’t exist yet/wishlist:

  • *arr app for emulator ROMs (I’ll have to check out romm, looks pretty cool!)
Icedrous, do piracy w Third party Reddit apps just got canned.

I’m pretty sure I’m in the minority but it doesn’t make sense why these elitists are so upset. It was bound to happen eventually. Then they say the official Reddit app is unusable? It’s functional, it probably works better than half of the third party apps do anyway.

The only thing I’m upset about is the developers lost well earned money and their time and effort to make these apps only for them to shit the bed. But let’s be real: nobody’s really going to quit Reddit. I joined lemmy because I wanted a new social media app and I’m going to be using it alongside Reddit. Will I use Reddit more than lemmy? No, probably not. Will I use lemmy more than Reddit? Also no, probably not that either. I’ll use them side by side.

It’s kind of a shame that lemmy has mods though, from what I’ve been reading up on it, I thought it would be better than Reddit when it comes to freedom of speech. But just because it’s “federated” doesn’t mean you can’t say whatever you want. It just means it’s not owned by anyone in particular.

Skunk, do piracy w Guide: The idiot proof guide to downloading ebooks off IRC. With Pictures and everything!

Damn I used IRC a lot 20 years ago but mostly for the lols and getting laid. I even met my wife on IRC and we celebrated our 8 years wedding anniversary a month ago.

But I didn’t knew you can find ebooks, that is great thanks a lot for saving this guide. I guess it’s time to reinstall an IRC client.

kilkil2,

Using IRC to get laid? incredibly based
