The gunplay looks pretty fun to me. That’s the most important part for me, if the actual combat isn’t fun, then that’s a different story, but it looks pretty cool. Cool enough for me to try it out on gamepass.

I'm the type of guy who hates New Vegas because it felt awful to shoot things (and that's why I'm still addicted to Destiny). Aiming's a bit weird, and shotguns don't have too much impact, but other than that, it's not the worst shooter I've played. I'll probably stick with it.

Oh, god how do they make it feel so good in Destiny 2. Unbelievable gunplay. Pity about the FOMO mechanics, I stopped playing when the brought in the battlepass, that shit just isn’t for me.

Ser_Salty,

I was surprised by how much a gun’s handling can change based on mods and stuff. Like, I have two SMGs of the same type. One feels like this pinpoint accurate, low recoil special-ops stealth gun, the other one kicks like a mule and sprays lead at basically everything vaguely in front of me.

Also I can have a 1911 and VSS in space, so that’s fun.

HelixTitan,

I would say it is. The shooting is hands down best Bethesda combat, clear enhancements over Fallout 4. And I haven’t really been into too many fights yet. Having been to Mars I can start to see how the environments really change up the combat

That’s more secure than most setups, the VPN with killswitch will defeat any and all attacks you’re likely to encounter if you don’t open files on that same VM.

What kind of firewall do you have? (Not on the VM, though something similar might work there also)

I use OPNSense and have an allow rule for the specific IP and port my VPN uses from that VM’s IP. Then a block everything from the VM IP after the allow.

I can connect to the VPN no problem, updates and everything work through the VPN. When it goes down it trys to connect normally and fails.

DNS can be a problem when trying to connect to the VPN so make sure to use the IP

Fisk400, do gaming w Saint Row developer, Volition, is shutting down

Am I correct in my understanding that Volition was doing fine but Embracer group fucked around with their money and now has to sacrifice a company that didn’t do anything wrong in order to save themselves?

nyankas,

I‘m not sure if I‘m missing something, but I‘d be really surprised if Volition was doing fine. Agents of Mayhem didn‘t do well at all and the Saints Row reboot was pretty terrible. Their last somewhat successful launch was probably the Saints Row 4 expansion back in 2015.

It‘s always sad to see a developer shut down, especially one with such history. But I can honestly understand closing a studio which hasn‘t had any great release for over eight years.

TWeaK, (edited )

By “fucked around with their money” is that perhaps a leveraged buyout? That’s what killed Toys R Us, and various other major high street brands, and it’s also what’s been happening to Twitter.

Edit: Apparently not. Embracer acquired Volition in 2013 after THQ went bankrupt and they put it under the Deep Silver subsidiary, then in 2022 Embracer moved moved Volition over to Gearbox, and then recently a multi-billion deal Embracer had lined up fell through so now they’re cutting costs and Volition ended up on the block. So maybe not so sinister, this one - the studio has been in decline since Agents of Mayhem in 2017.

It’s pretty clear from the Saints Row remake that whatever magic that company once had is long gone anyway.

darthsid, do gaming w Saint Row developer, Volition, is shutting down

Ffs this is literally what most people predicted when these developers doubled down on the shitty direction of the new Saints Row.

People are getting pretty spicy with the responses. OP was just underwhelmed by a game getting a lot of hype. Like lots of people are going to like it, but not everyone. I think theyre just trying to generate discussion, not say “everyone who likes starfield is an CHUMP!!” or something.

skullgiver, do piracy w help needed with linux and torrents
@skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl avatar

I’ve noticed plenty of torrents that don’t work right if you require encryption in your torrent client. If the client you used on Arch has encryption disabled by default but the Mint client has encryption mandated by default, this would explain the difference.

Montagge, do gaming w What games have you played due to FOMO?
@Montagge@kbin.social avatar

I grabbed Elden Ring on sale for $40 and I wish I hadn't

argv_minus_one,

What’s wrong with it?

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.social avatar

It's not worth $40. It's basically a Bethesda game without the modding community to fix it.

argv_minus_one,

Yikes. Thanks for the heads up.

Montagge,
@Montagge@kbin.social avatar

A lot of people liked it. I'll probably beat it because I bought it, but I'll throw it on the heap of other Fromsoft titles that I find to be lacking. I don't see myself wasting time on NG+ as the first playthrough has been less than satisfying.

@Squirrel@thelemmy.club avatar

For what it’s worth, most people would not agree with their assessment. To me, it’s open world Dark Souls, but better.

rich,

Yep. It’s Dark Souls 4 as far as I’m concerned

rich,

He’s utterly wrong.

Sas,

I found ER to be pretty polished on ps5. When i bought it in pc to do the seamless coop with my friends i was shocked by the stuttering that i couldn’t get to stop. So I’d say it depends heavily on platform

Mike90210, do piracy w Xmanager stopped working - logged out since yesterday, can't access

Logged out of the Spotify app you mean?

Try clear all data in app settings and re login, and check if the app is update.

Fyi no issues here.

forgotmyaccthxbye, do piracy w Easy and safe linux piracy with jc141

jc141 member here.

Glad you like what we do. Some observations: there generally is no unpacking, we use an archiving system which enables users to play without populating their drives with the extracted files.

Also glad that you find them safe. We started including a scanning result from ClamAV (open source cross platfrom malware scanner) to each new torrent as well as instructions to scan it yourself. And a blake3 checksum for authenticity.

@iturnedintoanewt@lemm.ee avatar

Wouldn’t using an additional virtual layer for storage affect performance during load/save and normal asset streaming? I guess this might work for older games, but for newer games I don’t see how performance won’t be hit.

forgotmyaccthxbye,

99% of the games tested are perfectly playable. In cases where its not we can relax the compression settings. And we use zstd which is super fast. Try for yourself and see.

FOSSFloss,

I obviously can’t verify if you are a jc141 member but I’ll believe it, I think it’s sicc that you’re adding an antivirus scan to the gamefiles and that the games don’t require extraction.

forgotmyaccthxbye,

You can join our community on Matrix matrix.to/#/:matrix.orgCan ask there for a verification

b42, do piracy w Fully understand if this is impossible, but is there any way to pirate/emulate switch games?

You definitely can! I'm using Yuzu on Linux with an jurassic 1050Ti and it works perfectly. I basically play Mario Kart 8 and BotW (for now, TotK in the queue) and never touched an actual Switch in person (seriously! I'm Brazilian and these things are hell expensive here).

will_iam90983402984,

yeah I get that, 300+ for something you’re using for maybe 2 games makes no sense

@ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca avatar

Have you checked the piracy mega thread? I think they have a few online audiobook sites listed there but correct me if I’m wrong.

Edit: if you have a library card, you could use Libby for listening to audiobooks for free.

JohnDClay,

I can’t seem to get mine to work, the library system doesn’t seem to be recognized.

ProvokedGamer,
@ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca avatar

Like your library doesn’t show up or?

JohnDClay,

Yes. It’s only giving about 25 library options in my area, and mine isn’t one of them.

ProvokedGamer, (edited )
@ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca avatar

This link may be useful for you. If the stuff listed in the link doesn’t work, then your library may not have Libby unfortunately. In that case, pirate then.

We use cloud library, but it doesn’t have as large of a selection.

I mean, I’m from Canada, so North American library card?

bblfrnz,

What if the OP is from South America or Europe, is there a Pan-American library card? Or maybe Transatlantic one?
