YoMismo, do piracy w I got some malware yesterday, here are the sites I visited as a warning

You never visit this kind of sites without a minimum of an ad blocker installed. My advice :

  1. uBlock Origin with the recommended filters installed > github.com/yokoffing/filterlists
  2. A Userscript Managers (I use Tampermonkey) with an anti ad-block killers scripts.
piracyismurder,

Instead of tempermonkey i use violentmonkey it’s open source and does the same thing.

YoMismo,

violentmonkey

It’s still in beta, maybe will give it a try when a stable release is out.

BrandoCalrissian9229,

I presently have both uBlockorigin and Brave’s native adblockers at work, so not sure how it slipped through there. Definitely gonna look at the userscript manager though

DestroyMegacorps,

dont do that if you are gonna play to use ublock origin stick to ublock origin as braves built in adblock can interfere with ublock origin which can make sites slower to load

Sharpiemarker, do piracy w What's the deal with Steamunlocked.net?

Idk if any of you are old enough to remember NonSteamDown, an alternative Steam launcher that gave you access to all Valve’s games (when the only games you could get through Steam were Valve’s own titles). Completely unrelated to your question about Steamunlocked, it just triggered a core memory from my youth.

squaresinger,

Yeah, plenty old enough^^

Sharpiemarker,

Haha cheers!

    Gris, it has an exceptionally good art. Great landscape, sound effects and the storytelling.

    Moonrise2473, do piracy w Is anyone concer about denuvo on switch?

    On the bright side it will eventually make emulators more accurate

    tiwenty,

    I’m curious, how so?

    moody,

    Emulators typically cut a lot of corners to make emulation faster rather than make it more accurate. A truly accurate emulator would be impossible for the software to differentiate from the actual hardware.

    Vilian,

    but it gonna run slow as shit

    tiwenty,

    Ok i see, thank you!

    Note that 100% accuracy on emulators is not always a goal. Super accurate emulators might take more computation/emulation and run slower.

    HeneryHawk, do piracy w Publishing New Torrents

    You’re going from a source of an encoded x264 and reencoding (the already encoded file) as x265?? What are the results like?

    Most people encode from a high quality source like a remux, rather than an encode

    heartlessevil,

    Yeah, a lot of private travelers will not accept doubly-lossy encoded files as a rule. So you can’t just go from 264 to 265. You need the original lossless file.

    To OP, yeah, you want a seed box. Both to pin the file up and host it for a while, and to preserve your anonymity (the original seeder is under particular scrutiny.)

    rah,

    a lot of private travelers

    What’s a “private traveler” out of interest?

    HeneryHawk,

    It’s a typo, supposed to say “private tracker”

    heartlessevil,

    Auto correct typo of private tracker. Sorry.

    rah,

    Ah I see, thanks for clarifying.

    pastermil,

    Looks good to me… I’d be happy to take some feedback tho

    HeneryHawk,

    It will depend a lot on hardware and/or software but I’d bet users would see some artefacting, ghosting, and general noise when they play your x265 file

    As another comment pointed out, an encode of an encode is banned on a lot of trackers… Or at least an encode of an already pretty lossy encode (x264) won’t be allowed

    Does the filesize change much?

    pastermil,

    I was able to shrink down the whole thing from about 120GB to 90GB

    GBU_28, (edited ) do games w I am LOVING Baldurs Gate 3

    Loving the game as well but the character creation is kinda limited. Everyone turns out sounding like a Shakespeare actor, and looking too prim and proper.

    I understand why that is, a game as large as this would be impossible to make with the range of voice variety I’m hoping for. Unrealistic on my part.

    That said, the game is incredible, and as long as you accept what the character creator gives you, the models and faces look great

    verysoft,

    Yeah, was expecting a lot more from character creation, but it's just the same as DOS2. I mean most of the game is just DOS2, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing, DOS2 was awesome. Just do yourself a favour and get this mod, it makes the game much more playable.

    My first dude was a Dragonborn and that was my thought with the voice options, too. My dragon doesn’t sound like a dragon. He actually sounds like me, IRL.

    riskable,
    @riskable@programming.dev avatar

    Yeah that’s the one thing severely lacking: Character screen voices. There’s only 8 of them!

    They should put out a call to the community to make more and hold a silly contest where the winners get their voices into the game. All Larian has to do is release the scripts and provide somewhere for folks to upload the audio files.

    They don’t even need to listen to 99% of them themselves! Just let the community listen to them and vote. Then Larian will only have to listen to like the top ten or twenty and they can have a second round where contestants are given instructions to “fix” certain audio files or whatever (e.g. to make them shorter or longer to match the cut scene timing).

    Rhynoplaz,

    That would be a fun idea! Probably a lot more difficult to implement than we imagine, but if I had the time, I’d totally record some voice lines going to get in a game I enjoy!

    SCB,

    Dunno why this is downvoted. My half-orc barbarian sounds like a schoolboy and it is weird.

    Perfect is the enemy of good but I’d love a PC chatter mod.

    RickyWars, do gaming w If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it?

    Always GOG. While I’ve loved Steam for years and still do, I’d rather have a stronger ownership over my games.

    Faydaikin, (edited ) do gaming w What is up with Baldur's Gate 3?
    @Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

    I don’t think I have a lot to add to what was already said here.

    But I will say that the Baldurs Gate series already had a pretty big following. It had an established fan-base, like Fallout. But unlike Fallout, Larian chose to stick with what people liked about the originals and expand upon that.

    So there’s another tiny reason to add to the collective.

    Jotain, do gaming w I don't want to "Press any key to continue" to the main menu
    @Jotain@suppo.fi avatar

    There was (is?) a requirement from Sony and Microsoft about how long a game can take to load as part of the game licensing process. One of the ways it is measured is by counting time from game boot to how quickly the game can react to user’s keypress. A “press start to continue” screen is the most simple thing you can load that passes this requirement. After that the game can do heavier operations such as loading save data, checking DLC or pulling latest messages from online server without having to worry too much about how long these operations take.

    EvaUnit02, do gaming w Rant: Frustration Related to Ethics of Games Companies
    @EvaUnit02@kbin.social avatar

    I'm a former game dev and I can tell you, at least from my experience, there was no golden age where developers and customers were treated fairly. It's the primary reason why I left. Hell, I once interviewed at a place that showed off how the offices had beds in them, as if that was a selling point.

    That said, I'd probably be someone who you'd consider "doesn't care about the bad things these companies did." I'm just too fuckin' old to be mad about shit all of the time. If I was only going to patronize folks and companies who matched my own set of ideals and ethics, I would be more than just gameless. I would be homeless and penniless as well.

    What I do is simply detach products and services from those who provide them. I can buy a thing from a person I find distasteful. I don't have to invite them out for a drink and I certainly don't have to avoid taking them to task for their poor or unethical behavior. Moreover, ethics and behavior are saleable. If someone comes around who offers something comparable to something from someone I find distasteful, then I can go patronize the new person instead. I have jumped ship from many service and product providers for that very reason. If you want my business, then you better ensure you're either the only person who can provide what I want or ensure you're the person I want to buy from.

    This is part of why confidence is attractive.

    It isn’t that confident humans of the male reproductive caste treat women more flippantly; it’s that actual competency correlates with not being as much of an insufferable whiny piece of shit.

    If it’s a subscription, I wish you the very best, but it won’t be for me.

    Unfortunately the explanation seems to point towards the latter :(
