turtlepower, do gaming w What's the funniest game you've played?

Conker’s Bad Fur Day on N64 was definitely up there.

insurgenRat,

I was like 12 but it was funny as shit. I think now a lot of the humour might fall flat now the zeitgeist has moved on but that storming of the beach against the teddybears still cracks me up remembering it.

turtlepower,

Having to piss out fires and flowers with tits will forever be in my memories lmfao!

mojo,

The mighty poo boss was a masterpiece

turtlepower,

I still to this day sing that song from time to time. Absolute fucking masterpiece indeed.

Just recently played A Hat in Time. We’re never told, but every detail points at this being the fantasy adventures of a little girl with A LOT in common with Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes, an overabundance of imagination and hyperactivity. Charming and funny (well, save for Queen Vanessa, which I feel was instead a masterpiece in ambience). Loved it, gotta try the DLC. Just be ready for hard platforming at many places.

I almost can’t believe the lack of Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People in this thread.

Shadow of Mordor

And if something like 60% of Elden Ring’s difficulty is fine with you, Bloodborne.

DeathWearsANecktie,

I wish bloodborne was available on pc.

Deestan,

Ah, oh no. I thought I played it on PC, but I have it on my PS4. Duh. Sorry.

StijnVVL,

Interesting. I found ER way easier than Bloodborne. I played Bloodborne first though and was not yet familiar with the genre as much…

Deestan,

Oh! Same order for me. Bloodborne first, which I managed to bull through after a lot of effort. Then later ER which I got quite stuck on and took a break from.

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever,

If you can get your mind around dodging, ER is a lot easier as you have much more options to out DPS your enemies. Bloodborne, even on NG, is really hard to overpower enemies without heavy use of the cum dungeon. And you hit the caps before that would really let you brute force your way through the DLC.

If you need a shield? Bloodborne is hell.

Plex will cast to a Chromecast with subtitles. It will also fetch them if you don’t have an SRT file in the folder of your video with the same name. Lenguages is also selectable at the time of fetch. I do not pay for pro. Nonetheless, I have not tried jellyfin and cannot tell you if it is possible there or not. My guess is it should.

Disable internet connection. Try netguard or something.

Bombastic, (edited ) do piracy w Android Game Popup Ads

Idk if lucky patcher still exists, but i used it for a while.

If its an online game there’s not much to do.

If its an offline game that shows ads when you’re connected to the internet, then you can install a private local vpn like Tracker Control to specifically disable internet access to that app.

Invizible Pro also works iirc, but that might be overkill for your purposes.

Private DNS like NextDNS others didn’t work correctly for me but YMMV

I’m guessing not, but in the offchance you’re using one of the newer Chromecast with Google TV there is a Jellyfin app you can install

Trine 5 and En Garde!. Both on 'Deck.

Trine 5 is more of the same, which is good as I’m pretty fond of their take on ‘the same’ and En Garde! Is a delightful little game that combines Sekiro’s combat and Fables charm.

Not the funniest I have played, but I definitely found it funny and fun.

TechieDamien, do games w Game recommendation, looking for easier western 3D ARPG

I don’t really see how Elden Ring is a western, but I can recommend rdr2 or call of juarez gunslinger if you prefer something less serious.

Psyduck_world,

My bad, I don’t mean western as in gun slingers western, but western arpg like not Japanese arpg.

Carighan,
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

But Elden Ring is a japanese ARPG. That was what the jab was about I’d imagine.

Or do you mean you want an ARPG instead of a JRPG/CRPG, as in, manual combat instead of menu-based party combat?

Psyduck_world,

I don’t like emo main characters or waifu, so for example tales series or Final fantasy 7 remake would probably not work for me. I am not really familiar with the terminology, I thought those kind of games would be considered Jrpg/Japrg.

krdo,
@krdo@lmmy.net avatar

Well, Elden Ring isn’t a typical jrpg. It just happens to be developed by a Japanese developer. I guess it is its own genre by now.

Apeeksiht, do piracy w Is anyone else like 10 times more likely to play a game they pirated versus one they bought?

Pirated hades. Played for some hours, had a blast. Bought it on sale and now I’m still playing.

samus12345,

Wish I’d pirated it first. I bought it on Switch after the glowing reviews and played a while before deciding it wasn’t for me.

Apeeksiht,

It gets better the more you play actually. The hidden features unlock after few playthroughs.

samus12345,

The sticking point is the boss fights. I learned from loving Rogue Legacy and not liking Hades that I really hate having to do long, drawn out boss fights over and over again even after beating them.

mp3, (edited ) do gaming w Just Got an 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller, What Now?
@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

The Bluetooth mode is made specifically for the Nintendo Switch on that model, on PC and Android you need X-Input mode, which is made available through 2.4GHz and USB-C.

I complained about that part too, and 8bitdo doesn’t seem receptive…

https://www.8bitdo.com/ultimate-bluetooth-controller/

To configure the controller you need the software here.

Yonrak,

I complained about that part too, and 8bitdo doesn’t seem receptive…

I mentioned it to them and they were very helpful… They specifically sent me a beta firmware for the reciever that allows me to toggle between Switch mode and Xinput mode by holding Select+Y or Select+X respectively.

I’ll see if I can find the file …

d3Xt3r,

Interesting. My interaction with them wasn’t really helpful. Not for this issue, but I raised an issue that the macro function doesn’t allow you to replay certain buttons (like ‘+’), which limits it’s usefulness. I reached out to them and they said they’ll pass the info back to the team and never heard from them again. I bought this controller specifically for the macro feature (and specifically for being able to replay ‘+’), and without that functionality, the controller is completely useless for me. I already own a Switch Pro controller and I prefer it’s ergonomics/shape much more over the 8bitdo.

There’s a difference between the Ultimate BT (with hall effect joysticks and the paddles) vs the Ultimate 2.4g, which received BT support later on. They don’t use the same firmware.

https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/950359e5-92d9-4389-9ea4-4af55eec1bc7.png

Yonrak, (edited )

I have the Bluetooth + 2.4G one with hall effect sensors and paddles (with the 2.4G/Bluetooth switch on the back and included 2.4G receiver in the dock).

I didn’t realise the dedicated 2.4G one received Bluetooth later, but the firmware was for the 2.4G receiver, not the controller, which I’d assume to be the same one regardless? That said, it’d only allow you to use “Switch Pro Mode” and “Xinput Mode” when connected via 2.4G to the receiver. Bluetooth mode behaviour will be unchanged… But given the choice I’m not sure why anyone on PC would use Bluetooth instead of the 2.4G anyway, unless they’re not using the dock with that particular computer…

All that aside though, my initial comment was to indicate 8bitdo were actually quite helpful when I reached out to them, in contrast to the person I was replying to… To answer OPs actual questions:

  1. Bluetooth mode outputs as a Switch Pro controller by default, so a lot of games on PC won’t recognise it unless you use Steam Input or some other translation layer to convert to Xinput. There are numerous applications to do it, but Steam is probably easiest and most accessible. To set the paddles etc You can download the Ultimate Software on your Phone or the PC to set the back paddles and tweak settings.
  2. I’d recommend playing around with some first person shooters using the Gyro. Steam specifically has a Flick Stick-like mode that is a really fun way of using the Gyro in FPS games like DOOM. You angle the stick to the direction you want to face, and then use gyro to aim up/down and make fine corrections. E.g. to snap turn 180degrees, just flick the right analogue stick down. Works brilliantly when you (eventually) get the hang of it, it’s so much faster.
Ocelot,

I have this controller and bluetooth mode works just fine for me on my PC and steam deck, those do run linux but the protocol is the same in windows. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

mp3,
@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

It will work with Steam, as Steam itself is able to capture Switch-input, but if you try to use it outside of Steam in a software that expects X-Input it will not work as expected.

I wasn’t able to use it on Android in BT mode either, most games I tried wouldn’t recognize it, but would work fine using a USB-C cable.

Luella,
@Luella@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Huh, I’ve used bluetooth mode consistently on my PC. I am on linux however so maybe that has something to do with it.

Confetti_Camouflage, do piracy w Why are categories basically useless in qbittorrent?
@Confetti_Camouflage@pawb.social avatar

Tools > Preferences > Downloads > Saving Management

Change “Default Torrent Management Mode” to automatic

counselwolf,

what does this do?

rambos,

It will move files to location you have set in category settings. If you are using sonarr it can automatically set tv-sonarr category and then qbittorrent will move it to your tv shows folder.

Confetti_Camouflage,
@Confetti_Camouflage@pawb.social avatar

Qbittorrent will save downloads to the assigned category’s folder instead of manually specifying the download location each time.
