nosebleed, do gaming w What games have you played due to FOMO?

Minecraft.

Way back in its beta days, a couple of mates couldn’t put it down. They couldn’t explain why digging holes was fun nor placing cubes. I really didn’t get it after a demonstration from them. Eventually had a LAN with a mate that was vaguely curious but also didn’t think it was going to be interesting.

We didn’t sleep for the next 36hrs, nor notice it was a new day until my family got up and started making breakfast.

Did you two play much afterwards? I’ve played a few times with friends but I find it usually fizzles out after a couple months then it’s just me who hosts occasionally messing around.

nosebleed,

Fully the same here. Sometimes I get bouts of inspiration to hop on the server or organize to do something with the group we have, but always fizzles out after a few months as you say. Which is fine really, a lot of other good games I tend to circle back to over time just like minecraft.

Thanks for aggregating this!

Havant played myself, but two twitch streamers I watch started with the Xbox copy and the load times were brutal. The steam version, apparently, felt much better to play reguardless of story quality.

I’ve opted to play it on my newly built PC as a crave those FPS aha. The load times have been pretty alright for me.

sylverstream,

Initial load time was very long, after that it was okay. Playing on xsx.

Anyone here remember Freespace? Sad times :(

Supposedly there are people who still play 1.6 so I’m sure anything is possible.

That’s a shame that even a 30 year-old studio is just one commercial failure away from closure, even when part of a larger company. Then again, Volition’s output after Saints Row IV has been pretty middling… So it’s not that big of a surprise that they were on the chopping block.

jupy, do gaming w Suggestion for game streaming setup

as your switch is modded, you could install Moonlight to stream from your PC using Sunshine, but if it’s over WiFi you might hit latency issues :(

jabib,

Haven’t had issues over an AC1900 wife setup here!

Seems like the description of “No Man’s Skyrim” was a little off the mark. :( Not as in depth for space stuff as No Man’s Sky, or as story based as Skyrim.

Will be interesting to see how it evolves over time though!

@AlexanderTheGreat@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll reserve my take on the “No Man’s Skyrim” until I play it more myself and see how it unfolds.

trustnoone, do gaming w I watched 2 hours of starfield gameplay and an hour of review

Eh, for me, it has story and apparently I can romance people and shoot stuff. So it’s already up there for me. But can totally see how people will feel different. Especially if you felt any hype for this. Me however has had no hype for Bethesda games after fallout 76

I’m using Geek, they’re pretty good so far. I’ve found everything I’ve searched for on them. I don’t even search trackers anymore, with how fast and efficient Usenet is compared to torrents.

Skotimusj,

Thanks for the suggestions. I am looking into it currently!

AstralPath,

Yes! 100%! Play it now! :)

I’ve started using alldebrid. It technically is torrents but not using my home network so I don’t need a VPN anymore. I use RealDebrid Client with my alldebrid account and it works with all the *arr services. Most torrents I can download at my full ISP speed.

I know it’s not what your asking for but just throwing the idea out there.

Keeboy, do piracy w Xmanager stopped working - logged out since yesterday, can't access

Delete Spotify and xmanger and reinstall worked for me (if your traveling make sure to use a VPN set to your home country when logging into spotify)

theshatterstone54,

if you’re traveling, use a VPN

Is there a way to circumvent that? VPNs usually come with a speed decrease

bblfrnz,

You need VPN only for login into the app once in two weeks, so, there’s no problem with it.

Thank you!!

Appoxo, do piracy w VPS/VPN and Private Trackers (Questions)
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Usually you do not have a static IP anyway. Sure you could probably backtrace the DHCP of your ISP to the date yout that IP got issued…But that is IMO a bit overly paranoid.

Though to be fair’ I don’t know why they don’t like VPNs for signups. Most likely to enforce IP based bans for not following rules or for entire banned countries.
If you don’t really care about the rules, just do it on signup but don’t connect US -> DE but instead US -> US. That way they may not care enough to enforce rules.
One tracker even mentioned that the rules are there. Some are strictly followed (like naming rules), while others are not followed as strictly.

privadesco,

Thanks for answering and for the proposed solutions.

About the DHCP backtrace, that is the (standard) procedure being avoided. I don’t think it’s paranoid, it’s just how it already works.

Have you tried using prowlearr? It claims to support usenet.

AphoticDev,
@AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

It’s not a claim, Prowlarr does support Usenet.

Skotimusj,

Thanks for the suggestion! I don’t quite understand what prowlearr adds over just adding multiple indexers to Sonarr/radar?

Chewy7324,

It allows for managing indexer/tracker from only one place for all *arrs. I usually set the apps to “Full Sync”, so I never change anything in each of the apps (e.g. radarr).

It also provides some statistics, like how many file grabs each indexer gave you compared to others. This might help to decide which of the paid ones are actually useful (useful for usenet indexer).

If your not resource constrained (e.g. rpi), I’d recommend prowlarr. It makes things more streamlined imo.

MusketeerX,

I’m not the OP, but I had wondered the same thing. After already seeing up the other *arr’s I couldn’t work out the point of Prowlarr.

Re your comment about resource constrained, I have just started using Sonarr and Radarr on a Pi4. They seem to work OK. Had installed but not set up Prowlarr yet. Hopefully that wouldn’t slow things down if I used it to sync the other apps.

Chewy7324,

My point was mostly about the added RAM usage if running prowlarr (or any other additional web server). It’s probably not an issue with Pi4s since they have more RAM. I’ve seen prowlarr use quite a bit CPU while syncing, but that was only for a short time.

So it’s probably save to ignore my comment.

Spark1337,

You still need at least one indexer account for Prowlarr, correct?
