brickfrog, do piracy w Some noob questions about seedboxes

May also want to try !seedboxes and !seedboxes

Whatbox (and a few other seedbox companies) offer seedboxes in the US. How can they do that without being immediately shut down? Do they have some kind of restrictions that could cause problems with using a US-hosted seedbox?

AFAIK they do honor DMCA removal requests so if you happen to load a public torrent there & receive a notice Whatbox staff will ask you to delete that data. You could contact their support on that if you’re not sure on their procedure.

How safe is paying via your real payment details?

I’ve only used crypto for those things. But presumably if you find a pre-paid credit card they accept you could buy it with cash & then pay the seedbox provider with that.

How safe is connecting via your real IP

The seedbox service itself is essentially a VPN so you either trust it, or you don’t. You could just as well ask how safe is it to connect to your VPN, or if you need to use another VPN to connect to your VPN :P

One thing to keep in mind is that seedbox services probably do log more data than the typical no-log VPN.

That’s not the total subscriber count. Sounds like you’re viewing the subscriber count from your specific instance at lemmy.sdf.org - The 3 subs you mention are subs from users at lemmy.sdf.org specifically.

Lufia, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 ended up making me regret playing.

I always hate it when certain characters and quests in games don’t have as many options as other ones. It feels bad when you can’t save or help a character you really like, especially if there’s 100% a way it would work in the story, if it had been written in.

It seems to happen more often with animals and beasts. I really like dragons too, so it sucks that the only dragon isn’t able to be saved. I haven’t played BG3 yet. I remember being able to help a dragon in Divinity II, and not too far into the game either. If you haven’t played that, you could give it a try.

I feel you. I REALLY feel you. I’d say more to commiserate, but everything I’ve got to say on the matter is already up there, and while I’m upset, I don’t want to rant everyone else into being frustrated. Best of luck to you finding someone you can save in your games?

I could, but after getting burned so badly in BG3, I’m very much feeling cautious about touching anything else this studio’s made.

neckmeister, do xbox w What are you playing this weekend??

I was going to wait for Starfield, but then I caved in last night and bought the upgrade.

Got 4 hours in before I forced myself to go to bed and can’t wait to jump back in!

Okalaydokalay,

Haha same here! Though, I did technically wait. I was waiting on others to try it and see how it was. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it, so I figured I’d drop the $30 on GamePass to get it a few days early. They knew what they were doing in the US because it’s a 3 day weekend for most of us. Who wouldn’t want to take advantage of 3 days of not working to play this game?

Squabble3786, do gaming w Saint Row developer, Volition, is shutting down

I am deeply upset from the fact that management can decisively lay off talented staff without notice and impact their families financial security.

JokeDeity,

It’s the American way. Go out of your way for the shiny penny, don’t do anything to earn the dollar.

TWeaK,

Well the management are out of a job now, too. However in this case it’s the parent company that shut them down, because of the parent company’s financial troubles.

SheeEttin,

The other side of that coin is that employees can quit without notice.

Though really it’s not a balanced relationship. Businesses can absorb the loss of an employee much better than an individual can absorb the loss of a job.

The employees are still probably getting a layoff package, and they can file for unemployment, so it’s not like they’re out on the street, fortunately. We do have some protections in the US.

EmbeddedEntropy,

And the WARN Act.

Veraxus, do gaming w I watched 2 hours of starfield gameplay and an hour of review
@Veraxus@kbin.social avatar

I played for a few hours last night and, so far, I feel exactly the same. I'm going to try to barrel through the main narrative for a bit, which is supposed to "open up" the game a lot more - but the game systems and UI themselves are a major part of what is killing it for me. That, and the fact that the game so far seems to be little more than a mediocre FPS.

JBloodthorn,
@JBloodthorn@kbin.social avatar

Skyrim's default UI sucks, and mods make it better. I'm hoping the same for Starfield.

B3_CHAD, do gaming w Starfield Review Thread

Not the epic space saga similar to Mass effect Trilogy I was hoping for but not a bad game either. Exploration is fun enough, base building is good, ship combat also felt nice.Quests are a mixed bag, some feel really dated and mundane. Performance is pretty bad i.e the game is very demanding. Struggles to maintain a steady native 60fps on the 3060ti at 1440p even on low or medium settings. Maybe patches will make a difference. Honestly this feels like something I would pick up during a sale or play on game pass, not worth the full price for me at least.

ship combat also felt nice

Ooh, that was the thing I was really curious about – too many “space” games are just conventional FPS games set on various alien worlds and space stations, with only minimal nods to interplanetary vehicles.

WarmSoda, do games w Starfield - Review Thread (87/100 OpenCritic)

How long did these reviews play the game for?

Nilz,

Gamespot did 55 hours and IGN started NG+ at 60 hours according to their respective video reviews.

WarmSoda, (edited )

Cool, thanks.

Edit: I just read one that played 70+ hours and even two characters. I was afraid these people were rushing through the game to get reviews out but glad to see that isn’t the case.

DulyNoted,

All of the most positive reviews I’ve read have been at 80+ hours. Still finding new things to do, which is a good sign.

eutsgueden, do gaming w What's wrong with the Saints Row reboot again?

Did you play the original? Most complaints I saw seemed to focus on that comparison. Itself in a vacuum, it sounded like it was fine.

HawlSera,

I did… but Saints Row didn’t really become what it was known for (being this wild crazy parody of GTA) until The Third and this is in line with that.

Actually I like the overall story better than GTAV

ArtificialLink,

A lot of people would argue the second saints row is a masterpiece. Iand saints row is definitely never been about the story

hardypart, do piracy w Where might I get German (mostly tv) content?
@hardypart@feddit.de avatar

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,

I feel the same way. The demo was great and I can’t wait to play the full game.

DingoBilly, do games w Why do modern strategy games hate the grid?

I play a lot of strategy games and absolutely hate the grid. Always feels super basic and limiting to strategy.

Think it’s just a personal taste thing/what you grew up with playing.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

Same and I agree.

Don’t know why. Because XCOM is full of flexibility. But It’s like a feeling like once you see those boxes, it feels like you’re playing by their rulebook.

Which is weird because BG3 is literally about rulebooks.

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

I use telegram for most of my pirated stuff , there is a telegram bot that does that for u !

Well telegram has most of the stuff you need , just search in its search bar Music download bot , and boom you get a bot downloading music for u. Movies , no problem , just type the name and download the movie !

Does it do books?

Xy_lemmy,

Z-library has a good Telegram bot. All you have to do is register on their site and then create your own bot which you then connect to Zlibrary. They have a handy guide here en.zlibrary-za.se/z-access#telegram_bot_tab

selokichtli,

I’ve been told that in Telegram you can find bots to download music from Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Deezer. Probably Spotify too, but those are the ones I know.

Chewy7324,

Depending on the bot you might not know where the audio is coming from. Most tools I know of download from youtube and add metadata (title, album, artist, …) but sometimes also include noise from a music video.

Though Bots in general are awesome.

selokichtli,

Not the case of these at all. The quality is incomparable.

Trying not to commit to anything too strenious with Lies of P and Starfield on the horizon, but I have found the time to start two games over the last few days. Those games are:

XCOM: Chimera Squad

It’s an XCOM game. I’ll probably play a it until I inevitably make a mess of the base management stuff and find my city in ruins, you know, like every other XCOM game that’s come out over the last decade.

The Life And Sufferings of Sir Brante

I started this today and I’m kind of blown away by it in all honesty. It’s a story heavy RPG where you play the role a child born into a semi-noble family. During the game you’ll do an awful lot of reading and then make decisions and judgements based on the character your playing. I’m maybe 2 hours in so far and it’s unlike anything I’ve ever played.

Limeaide,

are you going to buy starfield at launch?

I’m not a massive Bethesda fan, but I’ve absolutely got the preload done on my series X. Gamepass is perfect for that sort of thing.
