There’s a PC game called Ctrl Alt Ego (Steam link) where you play as a disembodied conscience that can project itself into - and control - different entities in the game.

When your current host is destroyed you just become disembodied again and can project yourself into another nearby entity (even the enemy that destroyed your host, in some circumstances). It’s quite a unique concept and almost completely removes the need to quick save/quick load.

If you’re into Immersive Sim games then I would highly recommend it - Stands alongside Prey and System Shock 2 IMO.

Avenging Spirit for Gameboy and Arcade was exactly like that, and I think maybe Messiah had that mechanic, although you spent a long stretch being a plump and frail cherub.

In Thief 3: Deadly Shadows, when a city guard kills you for the first time you get sent to prison instead of dying. It’s a cool “bonus” level many players can miss because city guards are the easiest enemies.

I think it would be a cool idea if they gave other factions (Pagans and Builders) their own bonus levels

  • NEO: The World Ends With You

    • I’ve only played TWEWY Final Remix on Switch recently. I find the control frustrating. Docked, it’s barely playable with joycon motion control, while undocked, it’s tiring, and my finger keeps obstructing the screen. The game also keeps interrupting you, very often when you moved between screens, and sometimes just halfway running, someone will just stop what you’re doing halfway for conversation that’s not that essential.
    • Now, this sequel has improved the gameplay part a lot. It still has problem with interruptions. But at least with proper controller support, this game is way better than its predecessor.
  • Immortality

    • This is very slow, not sure if I will eventually enjoy a 10 hour FMV mainly consists of clips not in proper order. Also, I prefer Her Story’s keyword search than this, because now I need to manually scrub the clips to the point of interests. So far I’m not enjoying the story as much, mainly because it’s about acting for now.
    • spoilerI know there’s some supernatural stuff in it
    • I can’t help but fantasize, what if the setting is sci-fi mystery, you scrub thru a number of CCTV, interviews, interrogations videos, about some weird alien / sci-fi murder. So far Immortality feels like a slog.

Katana ZERO. The fact that your character can fail and "die" and yet be able to control the flow of time to return and try again is not only contextualized through the game's lore and your character's usage of a drug, but becomes basically the entire story by the end of it. Brilliant game.

HidingCat,

Fuck Sierra games, it's why I gave up on them and played only Lucasarts point-and-click adventure games.

Same although I didnt get into the lucasarts games until the 2000s. I played every Sierra game and love/hated them all not realizing there was a better way to live.

Any of the Sierra "X Quest" games. Space Quest, Police Quest... so many soft locks. I remember Police Quest had a soft lock that would trigger on the first day but wouldn't become apparent until day 3 or 4.

luthis, do piracy w What's the history behind cam rips of movies and where have they typically came from?

Some family friends brought back cam rips from Egypt of several Disney movies, Beauty and the beast, Aladdin, and a couple others.

They had strange ads for burgers in Arabic, and the cam was really low quality.

We didn’t really know any better being kids, so I always thought that Beauty and the Beast was a dark, terrifying, grainy, nightmarish movie.

Having seen the real version, I have to say the shitty cam copy stuck better in my mind.

Anyways, sorry I can’t answer any of your questions OP.

nestEggParrot,

That reminded of the shitty cam print of Iron Man 1. Started from the Humvee scene a minute before getting blown off. 20-30% was dark or pointed at floor for whatever reason. Godawful audio.

Thought it was a shitty movie halfway though and stopped. Got a good print after Iron man 2 released and faithfully watched all marvel release, many in cinemas, till Infinity war. Now its all available on Disney+ and I won’t watch the new ones after it.

With ffmpeg


<span style="color:#323232;">ffmpeg -i src -c copy -map 0:v:0 -map 0:v:1 -map 0:a out.mkv
</span>

ffmpeg uses a sectioned parameter approach. Input parameters and input, optionally multiple, output parameters and output target.

In my example I specified copy as codec so the streams are copied as-is, without reencoding. I used map to map video streams 1 and 2 of the first input, and default/all audio streams.

The ffmpeg reference docs are thorough. The wiki has some more guide, example, and explanatory docs.
