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

I love Linux, use it regularly and even work with it professionally, but gaming is still a nightmare.

I tried one of these torrents for some small game, and couldn’t figure out how to install it. Then I gave up and bought Spider-Man on Steam, tried to run Spider-Man through Proton but the performance was crap (supposedly it works great on Steam Deck, but not on my NVIDIA laptop despite having all drivers). Finally I gave up and installed a dual-boot of Windows.

That's unfortunate, it really does run well on Steam Deck. I'm dealing with my own NVIDIA issues trying to get hardware acceleration and it's not been fun at all.

I cannot say that I love Linux, in fact it annoys me daily lol. I want things to just work and itends up wasting tons of my time to get only part of the functionality I was hoping for. The Steam Deck has been great, though my media server at times has made me wish I never wanted to self-host in the first place lol. (been kicking around various attempts at varying levels of success since 2017). From here, tl;Dr I am very stupid, I'm well aware, but also why is Linux so complicated? It seems counterproductive to need to be so heavily invested in something when it's goal is to keep you more hands off so you can focus on other tasks?

I feel like a broken record but I really want some medium between having full control over my OS and things just working. It doesn't help that there's OS specific syntax making anything outside of official documentation a hail mary. I've no love for Windows either but I've only been limited by it a couple times and I just wish I could say the same for Linux.

Of course, the limitations I've reached through Linux are entirely my own incapabilities, but that's kind of my issue? It seems redundant to have to know the entire ins and outs of it when the point of getting these tools to exist was to mitigate our tasks? I make music, art, I wrote and have a bunch of tech hobbies. I've spent time learning, but goddamn I just don't have the time and as time from the server hobby passes and I'm basically starting fresh. I just want some inbetween from needing to know the entirety of my OS and being locked out of it. It just seems that this hobby more than others, at least for me, needs to have the most consistency while having the least consistent sources of information due to immense level of knowledge that there is as well as the fragmented nature of each distribution.

On another note, I find it amazing how much easier Docker and its tools are in Linux than it is for Windows. Now that's funny! And it seems poignant to your issue as well... Some software is made for certain things, and translating that can throw a wrench in things. Docker on Windows, like NVIDIA on Linux, just weren't made with each other fully in mind and as a result have been made to retroactively "work".

Which is really too bad. It's pretty unlikely that something like Rocksmith2014 will ever work smoothly out of the box in Linux - it can be made to work with lots of work but... You can also just dual boot windows. Unless you're extremely familiar with the OS, chances seem high that the entire process of downloading and installing Windows then downloading and installing RS2014 will take less than 1/3rd of the time.

three, do piracy w Where do i find sea charts for sailing? (Baltic sea)

this is one of those things i wouldn’t pirate. maps and weather are extremely important when sailing and having legitimate sources of these things is something you should be doing. you wouldn’t pirate a first aid kit would you?

PoisonedPrisonPanda,

you should be doing the anti piracy commercials.

donuts, do gaming w Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon Review Thread
@donuts@kbin.social avatar

As someone who totally loves the Souls games (plus Bloodborne and Sekiro) but played Armored Core 2 on the PS2 way back in the day and thought it was just kind of OK, I'm not really sure what to think about AC6 right now. On one hand I don't really expect them to diverge from the essence of what AC is and should be (deep mecha customization and intricate combat), but on the other hand I feel like the type of game that AC2 was is something that I don't look back on super fondly.

Anyone else feel conflicted about whether to pick up AC6?

EvaUnit02,
@EvaUnit02@kbin.social avatar

AC4 was more super robot than real robot. AC5 was real robot but half-sized. AC5 also had a global multiplayer war. So, they've experimented with the series over the years.

That said, if you haven't liked AC in any form it has taken, I can't imagine you're going to like AC6.

atlas_core, do piracy w How can I find my schools Adobe Premiere/Photoshop Elements 2020 key?

I know my school will sometimes use last year’s CC versions because they’re familiar with it, and it’s been tested to work with what they want to teach, so it won’t just break or not function as expected out of nowhere. Now why they use 2020’s version in 2023 is beyond me, stuff generally does not change drastically in 3 years.

Vimm’s has been a solid pillar of the emulation community for over 25 years.

Fire Emblem has relationships you can maintain, as do Mass Effect/Dragon Age though to a somewhat less gameplay impacting scope

Luella, do gaming w What are some open source games you can recommend for Linux?

Veloren!

knokelmaat,

As an MMO, what is the gameplay loop currently? Doing quests or raids or pvp or just sandbox?

Luella,
@Luella@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I’m not all that far in the game, but it seems progression revolves around crafting. Killing enemies and mining for materials to make various armours and weapons to take of harder dungeons.

I don’t believe there are quests or pvp yet unfortunately, but it still ends up being fun despite being a highly ambitious game truthfully barely scraped the surface of its ambitions yet.

I know this is a piracy board, but please don’t steal from your school and just get a cracked copy if you need it.

luciole, do gaming w Besides Robux, What Can I Give to My Little Brother that Plays Roblox?
@luciole@beehaw.org avatar

Never played Roblox myself, but my son had a big phase and still plays from time to time. Back then we’d get him Roblox figurines once in a while. They can be disassembled/mixed and they come with codes for virtual items as well.

Stillhart,

they come with codes for virtual items as well.

Ooh, this is a great compromise. I like this idea!
