Sabin10, do games w Game wikis just aren't as popular anymore?

There was nothing wrong with the gamefaqs model, not every game needs or deserves a fully fleshed out wiki. Wikis are great if you want to know more about a game universe and its characters but are pretty awful as walkthroughs.

blanketswithsmallpox, (edited )

Agreed. I could completely understand why Gamefaq FAQ creators stopped though.

It’s A LOT of work. For no payoff besides name recognition and being a good guy. If there were community built GameFAQs sure, but they’re by author. I’ve never seen a community based Walkthrough in the classic text based only format.

pelikan, do piracy w Youtube - like apps like piped.video, but as Android app?

You need ReVanced app, that’s new incarnation of Vanced app that ceased to work

Bandicoot_Academic,

Pretty sure that Revanced still has google tracking since its a patched version of the official app.

Also if anyone here intends to use it: Please be careful. The real revenced site (www.revanced.app) has awfull SEO and usualy appears way below fake websites (that sometimes spread malware). The only real websites are revanced.app and the github.

Also you have to patch the app yourself for copyright reasons so don’t trust and websites that offer a direct apk of revanced (the real website offers a manager app that you can use to patch the official app)

WindowsEnjoyer,

Revanced instructions (official Youtube app, but with adblocking, sponsorblock and other nice improvements).

  1. Uninstall Youtube (or disable if not possible)
  2. github.com/ReVanced/revanced-manager/releases
  3. Install
  4. Open, go to “Patcher”, find “Youtube” and download the specified recommended version from www.apkmirror.com
  5. Patch it, install it.
  6. Install MicroG if you want to use your Google account with it: github.com/TeamVanced/VancedMicroG/releases
  7. Launch your installed youtube app. You will need to login from within the app if you are using MicroG.

I thought I read someone was providing “clean” patched APKs now?

WindowsEnjoyer,

Google might go after pathed apks, but you can’t go after patches (which isn’t apk).

DieterParker, do piracy w Is It Farewell To The Internet Archive?
@DieterParker@feddit.de avatar

I was of the impression that the ia doesn’t delete, but instead puts files in quarantine until copyright runs out. Else they’d have to digitize it again later.

@people_are_cute@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Honestly, for Sci-hub I think it’s just that Elbakyan got tired of maintaining and updating it constantly. That “waiting for court results” part was just an excuse, just because Indian law enforcement is too unequipped to go after pirates doesn’t mean the country magically became lax on IP law. There was no good chance she could’ve won the dismissal plea.

TheHobbyist, do piracy w If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate?

For people who pirate because they can’t afford the increasingly more expensive games, how does the removal of adblocks change anything?

sovietknuckles,

I think they’re talking about ads on download pages making it more difficult to click the correct download button when pirating

Pulp,

Using those sites is just asking for trouble

Agreed

ExLisper, (edited ) do piracy w A way to disable laugh tracks?

I think the best way would be to re-record the audio. Laugh track usually overlaps the dialog a bit so it’s impossible to get rid of it. You just have to find some actors and have them read the script. The casts of most sitcons are not that big. You will need like what? 10 people? You can probably do it with your friends. Then just add some basic sound effects like door closing and cars starting. A bit of work but doable.

"there hands"

"nefarious no-gooders"

"to these pirates"

"illegal files"

"of course"

It’s supposed to be their hands, not there, haven’t yet seen AI making mistakes on purpose but I guess it could if prompted

cobysev, do games w What games had easy soft locks that prevented you from either progressing or getting a true ending?
@cobysev@lemmy.world avatar

Undertale is an indie game that promotes and encourages kindness toward others. You can play the game however you want, and there are a multitude of endings depending on how nice/mean you are in your playthrough.

But if you’re not 100% kind to everyone you meet; if you take even one unkind action toward someone, you’re locked out of the perfect good ending. And it remembers your playthrough, so you can’t ever earn it by replaying the game. I dunno if that’s been patched; I haven’t played it since about 2015, but that was the rule when I started it.

And there was no indication starting out that you had this choice. Most people default to fighting bad guys in games. There wasn’t even a hint that you could play the game as a passive, kind person and never harm anyone, despite their aggressive and harmful actions toward you.

So most gamers got locked out of that perfect good ending. Which I guess is kind of the message of the game. Every small act, whether good or bad, can affect people around you permanently. But it’s still annoying as a completionist, knowing that I could never perfectly complete a game because of a rule I wasn’t informed of when I started.

bentsea,

The game remembered a lot of things but you very much could do a pacifist run by starting a new game. I read about the pacifist run after about an hour into the game, decided I wanted to try it, and restarted and was able to achieve the best ending.

ditherwither, (edited )

Yeah, you’re only locked out of pacifist if you previously did a genocide run

Edit: looking at the wiki, this isn’t true, there are minor differences in the soulless pacifist run tho

storksforlegs, do gaming w Does anyone know of any kid-friendly "horror" games out there for children ~7 years old?
@storksforlegs@beehaw.org avatar

Dont Starve is pretty dark… i wouldnt call it horror exactly but it has a spooky vibe. Its officially 12+ but I think a horror-loving kid would probably be fine with it.

rambos, do piracy w How to route transmission through Mullvad?

Consider moving from mullvad if you are into torrenting. Mullvad doesnt support port forwarding anymore. But no matter what provider you chose, use docker container gluetun to route traffic from any other container (like transmission). I like transmission, but most people use qbittorrent because its more advanced. You can also set up VPN in qbittorrent settings

sxan,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Which affects torrentors how?

Jerbil,
@Jerbil@hexbear.net avatar

If the port you’re connecting through isn’t forwarded, it isn’t allowing most connections through, drastically slowing down your speed and ability to seed, since you can’t connect to any peers.

sxan,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

I don’t torrent, as a rule, so I can’t say I’d notice any speed reduction. I had, however, noticed that no matter how long I kept seeding, I’d gotten few - or maybe no - connections. I didn’t know if this were because nobody else was leeching the thing at the time, or something else like this.

I’m very reluctant to give up Mullvad. So far, in all ways I care about they’ve demonstrated justification for brand loyalty. Plus, I’ve been with them for years and already have everything set up and configured across multiple deviiiiceeeessss.

As I said, torrenting isn’t a critical activity for me, so I’ll hang tight. I am curious to know if Mullvad has given a justification for stopping support for port forwarding. They used to, right? So it was work for them to stop.

lud,

Here is their blog post about it: mullvad.net/…/removing-the-support-for-forwarded-…

sxan,
@sxan@midwest.social avatar

Thank you for the link! Very informative.

matey,

You’ll get more connections if people can get to you; otherwise, you’re only connecting to people who are port forwarding themselves. If you’re port forwarding, you can connect to everyone.

SinningStromgald, do games w Do you find the description Live Service Game off-putting?

“Service Games”, gotcha games, games with excessive DLC (looking at you sim games), internet required and Denuvo games are all hard passes.

It’s actually gacha games

Rai,

feels the compulsion to make that correction

Sounds like they got chya, hon.

Duck_Potaaato, do piracy w Virus Total

You cannot tell a false positive from a real positive. It’s a gamble. You need to check for every AV what’s the results and do your own risk assessment. Do I really need this software given that XX Antivirus consider it to be a virus? New threats will have a low number of AV that will detect it.

ArchmageAzor, do games w What game has a great story and is worth the time investment?
@ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world avatar

I highly recommend Outer Wilds if you haven’t already. Just don’t get it mixed up with Outer Worlds

bionicjoey,

Outer Worlds is good too. Not as good as Outer Wilds, but still good. Sorta like New Vegas in space
