A fair assessment. But it’s still better than a lot of games released since then. I’m not going to kick it out of my bed for eating crackers.

kugmo, do piracy w Is it possible to rip movie straight from cinema?
@kugmo@sh.itjust.works avatar

The movie at a cinema isn’t a regular mp4 file, it’s a massive 100-300gb proprietary file that needs a valid license key to even be played back during a specific time period. Good luck decrypting the file or getting the company that issues the keys to the cinemas to give you a key because you’re not getting it to play early. Iirc somehow the Korean rip of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie was leaked early and something similar happened with the My Little Pony movie, but those fan bases are incredibly autistic and will find a way.

montar,

Yeah, there’s no need to pirate at the cinema when you can pirate at the studio. Anyway how in my Lord Satan they made that file that huge, it’s 12K resolution or what?

cmnybo,

It’s either 2K or 4K video. The bitrate needs to be high because any compression artifacts would be very obvious on a huge screen.

Explore musical creativity by conducting a quartet of animated blobs. In blob opera, you adjust their pitch and vowel sounds to create beautiful harmonies. The goal is to have fun and experiment with music, with each blob offering a unique vocal contribution to your compositions.

I’ve been playing the new Solium Infernum with a friend - the first playthrough I did not particularly enjoy (partially my fault for not playing the tutorial first) but once I learned the mechanics my second game was more fun. The UI is not very smooth to use and there are some mechanics I don’t like, but overall pretty good.

I also picked up Mindustry again last night - it’s an open source Factorio + Tower Defense + RTS that is rather addicting… The new campaign they added a couple years ago is better than the original too.

I decided to give a chance to Super Virus Defense. It was made by the brother in law of my best friend, but it was described as tower defense so it sat ignored for over a year. I play on PC, but it’s very mobile like. I’m addicted. There’s a grind element to buy upgrades, but it’s been so non mindless that it reminded me of how big companies just choose to make you suffer. Specifically, I can grind while completing higher difficulties in previous levels or by playing the endless mode.

Playing it made me want to create a post with all the Brazilian indie games that I really liked over the years.

Still having fun with Helldivers 2. Player Base dropped but still around 40k in the meantime (don’t look at Steam Numbers only, there are console players too). There are constant updates and a big one is coming mid August.

I’ve been progressing through Divided Reigns. Very indie, retro JRPG. The story reminds me of FFIV & FFVI in good ways. Battles are much more involved then the aforementioned classics though: while remaining turn based there are plenty of types, effects and skills involved. A rage meter brings in some form of planning ahead between turns, somewhat like Octopath Travellers or Bravely Default. All around solid game. Only downside is the dialogs being sometimes pretty silly.

Been playing Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla as well. So here’s my theory: inside Ubisoft there are two wolves. The first wolf is made up of thousands of creative, talented, diverse artisans working hard to make the open world formula fun and beautiful. The second wolf is a handful of suits looking for ways to milk the first wolf’s output for money in all sorts of shit ways. I’ve found out that if you put the Ubisoft launcher in offline mode, you’ve blocked the second wolf. As for the game itself, it remains faithful to the series. There are some welcome improvements, such as the end of garbage equipment loot. In terms of storyline, I can’t say I’m feeling especially involved so far. There is a certain cruelty to the protagonist which I struggle with. On the other hand I must also say that at times the game feels unapologetically woke which I thoroughly enjoy. The side quests are also super goofy.

Three of four Pro Pinball games are available on GOG. They’re probably on the more realistic side of pinball games, effectively simulating a single table down to aspects like scratching, aging and blemishes. That’s all optional though, you can just install and play. I don’t know how well they’ve aged since it’s been a few years since I last touched one of them. But I’ve always found them fun, with great visuals and sound, even though I’m pretty inept at pinball in general.

DEMON’S TILT and XENOTILT are both pretty cool. Other than that you can get Space Cadet from Github.

Pinball Deluxe Reloaded has been an excellent time-waster on my phone for a while now. It’s available on PC too.

Off the top of my head:

  • The entire Pro Pinball series
  • Yoku’s Island Express
  • Creature in the Well
  • Pinball FX3
  • 3D Ultra Pinball: The Lost Continent
  • Metroid Prime Pinball
  • Epic Pinball
  • Addiction Pinball

The MD game you’re thinking of is likely to be Psycho Pinball.

I like the Skyrim and Deadpool tables on Pinball FX3. Plays great on Steam Deck.
