Or you could just download it from one of the repositories. Unless it’s something really obscure it should be already preserved somewhere on Archive.org, Myrient or even Vimms Lair

Ripping stuff yourself is too much of a time waste when the exact same image can be found online

While everything you said is valid (and I may or may not have done that), I legitimately enjoy the ripping process.

teawrecks,

I don’t know what the rules of this community are regarding piracy or DRM, but I think backing your content up is generally protected, while sharing the content or encouraging people to copy something illegally is possibly not allowed.

setsneedtofeed, (edited ) do games w The Outer Worlds: Base Game | Free on Epic Game
@setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world avatar

Edited: There was a recent patch this year. Which supposedly has fixed the technical problems that made Spacer’s Choice unplayably bad. I still can not recommend it because it was broken when I tried to play it pre-patch, but it has supposedly been fixed. Edited to slightly soften the tone against it.

A lot of comments in this thread are confused about what “Spacer’s Choice” means. This is the “remastered” version of the game that was not done by Obsidian. It is a Game Of The Year style pack that includes all the DLC. The upgrade flowchart picture on the storefront page is needlessly confusing, ignore it. As of May this year, this version was very buggy and unoptimized. Texture pop-ins and laggy framerates are widely reported. For me personally I couldn’t even get it to run at all.

joe_cool,

According to this comment: www.gog.com/forum/the_outer_worlds/…/post4

They fixed it. Is that true?

setsneedtofeed,
@setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world avatar

I guess I’m out of the loop. I tried playing it in May of this year, and it finally got patched in June.

flambonkscious,

That’s brilliant, I love it and I’m jealous I wasn’t witty enough to come up with it myself

Omegamanthethird, do games w i made a speadsheet to get through my backlog a while ago and today i hit my milestone for the year.
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I was wondering about the “I’m done” and I love it. When you’re satisfied with the game and don’t feel like you need to play any more.

freebread,

Something I’m starting to realize too. Just because I start a game doesn’t mean I need to play it to the credits as soon as possible. I’m the only one fixated on my trophy list or hours played.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

So, I actually do need to play to the credits ASAP for two reasons. First, coming back to a game is intimidating. So if I put a game down, I end up deliberating between restarting and trying to relearn the entire game from the last checkpoint. Usually I end up playing something else.

Second, I meander a lot. So even games I’m actively playing I try to stick to the plot so I don’t burn out playing side stuff. (It’s not always even side content. Sometimes it’s just dicking around.)

freebread,

Feel that- source: I’m a Like A Dragon fan.

But another reason I tend to binge each game is lack of storage space and rising file sizes. Don’t want to download 100 GB again so better finish it immediately.

HeyJoe, do games w GameStop’s definition of “New”

Back in the day they would tell me the only game they have left in stock is the wall case copy. So you can take it but the case was opened and disc removed and put into a drawer behind the counter in a cd envelope. They would tell you it’s new and they can’t give a discount but assure you it’s new. I hated that, still took it but I really hated it. Give $5 off or something… the worst part is it probably happened to me like 3 times which I couldn’t believe.

I wonder if the copy in the pic is the same deal that I had.

vivadanang,

I hated that, still took it but I really hated it

they fucked you because they could. you kept going back, that’s part of growing up I guess.

they’re just awful.

ComradeBunnie,
@ComradeBunnie@aussie.zone avatar

I used to work for their brand in my country, and I would have to repackage and shrink wrap the game & booklets when we received new stock.

So yes, it is open but still new (assuming the store manager is honest).

I still didn’t like the idea of doing this to games, but there weren’t many jobs in my town and it sure beat working checkouts…

ICastFist, do games w This should be illegal
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

Can any owner of this game tell me whether it is online only or not? Or what uses it has for an internet connection? Because back in mah dayTM© that’d be the kind of thing you’d download once and, even if the online service died, you’d still have a working program/game afterwards.

Intralexical,

Why would they want you to have a working program? How does that help sell you more stuff?

Just take your John Madden Football Sega Genesis ROM and use this tool to update the roster yourself. Who’d be able to tell the difference?

ahal, do games w I've been replaying Into The Breach lately and stumbled on what I think is an insane power squad.

Love this game! This is the same studio that did FTL. Two of my all time favourite roguelites.

fartsparkles,

Subset Games rock. Really looking forward to whatever they put out next. It’s been rather quiet from them but they said in an AMA they have several prototypes kicking around. Fingers crossed.

TheUnicornOfPerfidy,

I hope they’re looking at Tactical Breach Wizard as inspiration now too. It’s obviously inspired by Into the Breach and it’s masterful.

lay, do games w A funny thing in Iran is how they repackage old PlayStation consoles

Similar to how the market works here in Iraq. They package refurbished consoles with new boxes and often 3rd party controllers. A ps1 with two controllers and a usb flash drive full of random roms goes for around 50,000 IQD which is about 35$.

QuantumSparkles,

They don’t have NES or SNES like that do they?

lay,

They don’t, I’ve only seen Sony consoles repackaged, basically because they are well known to most consumers. When it comes to Nintendo, they sell cheap knockoffs that come with 1000 games or something pre-installed.

insomniac_lemon, do gaming w Games with good pixel art are my weakness

I like polygons.

No you don’t understand, JUST the polygons and in a countable amount too.

https://lemmy.cafe/pictrs/image/402062ff-a147-4b9d-be1e-b7cb69076c40.webp?format=webp

I don’t need the textures. It’s my aesthetic.

amino,

I tried OSRS as someone that’s never played RuneScape before and I gotta say, the pretty polygons are one of the main reasons I kept playing and had fun. pretty world doesn’t have to be 100GB

Anton243, do gaming w Everyone's favorite AAA company might be facing bankruptcy

Yeah but… You do get that you don’t own any of your games on Steam, Epic, whatever either?
Just GOG is DRM free.

RayOfSunlight,

itch.io as well

Kerred,

Id just like to point out when you read the full article the context is different than the headline as usual. But regardless Ubisoft deserves their demise.

CharmOffensive,

You’re not wrong, but Ubisoft were absolutely tone deaf for saying that.

tesfabpel,

steam can be DRM free as well but it depends on the game to use or not the Steam API for license…

samus12345,

Any Steam game that doesn’t also use extra DRM can be cracked, too.

The Neverhood is deeply underrated. It got a spiritual sequel a few years back.

There is also a platformer set in the same world, using the same main character, on PS1 called Skullmonkeys.

anomnom,

Yup skullmonkeys is great. It’s in a box with my Game sharked PS1 for playing a copy of Bushido Blade once a decade.
