Seems like the description of “No Man’s Skyrim” was a little off the mark. :( Not as in depth for space stuff as No Man’s Sky, or as story based as Skyrim.

Will be interesting to see how it evolves over time though!

I’ll reserve my take on the “No Man’s Skyrim” until I play it more myself and see how it unfolds.

Those aren’t really FOMO in my opinion, more like being curious about what the praise was about. It’s trying new stuff, and rather healthy I’d say, even if you realize some of those really weren’t for you in the end. Yeah, I had quite a few of those too.

To me, FOMO would be anxiety about stuff that you really can miss “forever” and regret afterwhile.

In games, it’s weaponized with artificially limited stuff because whoever is pulling the string wants you to fear a missed opportunity and make an impulse decision.

It’s stuff like preorder “bonuses” you will never have another chance to get otherwise, time-limited content, battlepasses, daily rewards etc.

One of the most pathetic recent example I can think of being Nintendo making the translation of a 1990 Famicom game available only for a couple months. “Quick, buy Fire Emblem now, before it disappears forever!!!”

Even then I’d argue the lines are blurred with so many online marketplaces going down and how secondhand games have exponentially increased in price.

As far as I’m concerned emulation is the solution to this but I could see it being a hurdle for those that do want to play them legitimately

Thrickles, do gaming w What games have you played due to FOMO?

Breath of the Wild. My first Zelda game. Not one single regret.

deksesuma,

My first was the original game on NES.

I don’t hate Breath of the Wild (or Tears) but I don’t think the series needed to go in that direction.

MadMenace,

I thought BotW was quite like the original, with how open and non-linear it is.

Overwatch was basically the only way I could socialize with my friends for a while, even though nothing about it really spoke to me. I thought for sure the allure would wear off with my friends quickly, but they stuck with it for a long, long time, until after it became Overwatch 2, though the sentiment had turned on it before that.

I’ve also been stuck in the mentality of if I want to play a game in a series I need to play the prior games.

I do this too. I just played through Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 before starting 3, and I already know there's at least one recurring character who will show up in this new one; it's that kind of thing that makes me want to see what came before. However, if I was playing Armored Core 6 right now (which I'm not, but if I find the time, maybe I will), I won't be compelled to play the earlier games in the series. I tried Armored Core 4 back in the day, and the story is as much as "you're a mercenary; shoot stuff". Not a whole lot lost there, and that means that the sequel is more of an upgrade to the software than it is a totally different chapter in a continuing story.

Not so long ago I searched for a Spanish dub of a very popular anime and had a tough time finding active seeds on most sites listed on the Treasure Trove page.

I think YMMV depending on what you look for, and how old is it. I had much better results adding “Spanish” and “latino” to a simple google search. Turns out some people stream a single series on a website (as opposed to multiple series hosted on large streaming platforms).

Why not just grab and put them on your phone or host them in a server?

Whole lot of storage space and a whole lot of work respectively?

You are severely overestimating both in your assumptions.

I think I have like 3,000 audiobooks in .mp3s and it takes hardly 5gb.

JohnDClay,

Wow, and those aren’t unlistenable due to compression? Cool. Yeah I would have thought it was more like 1gb per 10 hours, but I guess it’s orders of magnitude less than that.

@dudemanbro@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

For real. I become a little bit of a snob when it comes to my audiobooks. I have a collection going of near 2000 and thats about 2TB of space. Now, I do try and get the “best” I can of what’s available, and, to be fair, 64kbps books are truly well and good. There are also ones that sound great and don’t pack a high bitrate, but once it hits the 32kbps that when its rare I’ll touch them unless the are the only copies I can find. Personally, I hate how much highly compressed books make the narrators sound. Just awful

dustojnikhummer,

I dumped my Audible books. Metro 2035 is around 550MBs, Windows reports 62kbps bit rate. Is that normal? m4b Downloaded with Booklib+AAX Converter

dudemanbro,
@dudemanbro@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

That seems normal. The copy I have in an m4b ~530 MB (@63kbps). There are various tools like the one you mentioned and (github.com/VarSell/iAmDeaf) which I’m sure does the same thing. Unfortunately I am not too well versed in the actual ripping of content so i dont really know how people get the untouched “highest” bitrate content. But what you did appears to be wihtin the normal range, I would say.

I am not really part of the scene but am part of a community that shares the booty

Setting up a plex server takes less than 5 minutes and audiobooks are less than 100mb most of the time. So not really. Setting up audiobookshelf takes a bit more time if you don’t already have docker installed/setup on windows but even then. An hour maybe? At most?

JohnDClay,

Cool! Could you direct me to this five minute guide to setting up a Plex server? Also for these you’d need another computer that’s always on, right? If it’s off, you wouldn’t be able to access the server? Our family only uses laptops right now so that would be an issue.

Vendetta9076,
@Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works avatar

I can write the 5 minute guide out for you in this comment. Im assuming windows. And yeah the machine has to be on. Although you could just run it off your main machine, especially if its just audiobooks.

Make a plex account Download and run the latest version of PMS (plex media server) and follow the gui to create your media folders

Now if you only want to access the media within your home, you’re done. Grab the apps for each device and be on your way. If you want to access out of your home theres one more step. Port forwarding. Thats done within your router and is different for each one but basically boils down to this.

Find setting. Create port forward entry for whichever ip is hosting plex. Port forward 32400 on tcp/udp Done.

Im explaining it in short bullet point lines because it should be that easy.

dustojnikhummer,

Yes. You need a PC that can act as a server (so run 24/7). If you want outside access you would also need a VPN or expose your services to the internet.

Jeżeli pasuje ci angielski, to ciekawym zasobem jest ta strona; thefitness.wiki

Nie jem zwierząt ani mleka, coś tam czasami potrenuję, powspinam się czy intensywnie pochodzę po górach. Moja filozofia w zakresie diety jest taka, że białko raczej ciężko przedawkować i jeśli trenujesz na pewno potrzebujesz go jak najwięcej. Nie znam się (!!!), ale dla nadwyżki przy treningu/intensywnym wysiłku celuję żeby mieć dziennie do 2krotności masy ciała w gramach zjadanego białka (też dlatego, że deklarowane na produktach jest przeważnie zawyżone). No i zróżnicowana dieta jest absolutnie kluczowa. Nie mam głowy do liczenia kalorii i jakichś fikuśnych testów, staram się jeśli możliwie różnorodnie, zawsze możliwie dużo zieleniny i w miarę możliwości świeżej.

banana_havoc, do gaming w Who's been playing Wayfinder?

My two major issues with the fame are how clunky and stiff the combat feels, and how awful the UI is on PC. Animations don’t let your attacks move with the camera far, so you end up attacking in the same direction even when you’re trying to track something to your side. This feels really bad with niss’s ult, because you need to wait between each dash to let the animation reset and give you the direction you actually want to go through.

The UI quite frankly feels like it was made for a phone. Every single choice requires you to hold the confirmation button, the interface itself looks scaled up too much, and the preview model for weapons and characters tends to bug out.

sandriver,

Would you tell me what games you have as a point of reference that the combat feels stiff and clunky? I think I generally play games with similar kinds of pacing so I haven’t personally noticed anything. It’s not as fast, fluid and flashy as say PSO2 New Genesis, but I wouldn’t say it feels stiff or clunky to me.

Agreed the UI is awful though. There’s a lot of missing functionality too… like there’s just no way to manage echoes in their own screen.

banana_havoc,

The combat feels like it could have gone either stiffer and chunkier like monster hunter or much lighter and responsive like warframe, but it chose the worst of both worlds. So right now you primarily use normal attacks, but they don’t have a lot of weight and locks your character into position and attack angle. The skills feel great in terms of weight (stagger, damage, flashiness, etc) but the cool downs spread them very thin early on, so you are mostly attacking normally.

I actually don’t like PSO2NGS combat for a similar reason, they lock players into a combo or attack pattern in a game that is all about movement and jumping around.
