How would I go about getting this running on the SteamDeck? Is the .net requirement a dealbreaker?

sane, (edited )
@sane@feddit.de avatar

I know people have gotten it to run on Steam Decks in the past. Here’s a guide for running it on Linux in general, though I would assume it also applies to the Steam Deck.

Also, controller support is not a thing in Freelancer, so you have to play with KB&M

Though you might be better off asking in the discord server: discord.gg/FdSkbZ8

shiveyarbles, do gaming w Does anyone else use mouse acceleration? I love it.

No I never use it because it reduces accuracy and control

Nawor3565,

How does it reduce accuracy? It allows you to make very precise movements if you move the mouse slowly, but make large movements very quickly by flicking the mouse instead of needing to pick it up and move it multiple times.

Shikadi,

Depends if the acceleration is continuous or not. Also, it used to be implemented very poorly, not sure if it still is

NaturallyAsh, do piracy w Personally confused on how to use a Raspberry Pi to pirate properly

I just bought a Pi and set this up a couple of weeks ago. I turned my Pi into a NAS using OMV 6 (Open Media Vault - free), installing docker compose and qbittorrent in OMV, also installed gluetun docker in OMV, and then added my, opened a port in AirVpn, and added the port to gluetun and set the network_mode argument in qbittorrent to my gluetun container. Now qbittorrent only connects to my vpn. OMV has extensive documentation for setting it and docker compose up, and the OMV community forum is extremely active.

Ive been abusing steep for days now, and boy is that game the after dinner thin mint of gaming. Its gorgeous, and offers million of ways to go down tue several proposed mountains.

Stray - There’s not a massive amount to it, but what’s there is charming, with just enough storytelling to drag you in. Plus you’re a cat. Who doesn’t like cats?

Guardians of the Galaxy - The gameplay feels a little rough around the edges, and the characters have an extremely irritating habit of starting to talk just before you cross the invisible lines that stop them talking again (and unlike God of War, that conversation is now lost), but it felt like a Marvel game should. More fleshed out than the movies (especially Drax and Mantis, who are just fucking moronic on screen). I feel everyone (including me) ignored this on launch because of The Avengers, which is a shame because it deserved to do better.

Ghostwire Tokyo - Definitely unique. It’s kind of a shooter, but not. They’ve added a (free?) update to it with a school, so if you played it before and wondered where the horror element was, go back and play that bit.

Death Stranding - The first strand type game. I’ve certainly never played an apocalyptic Deliveroo driver before. I recommend mostly just mainlining the story here, as the payoff is the best bit.

Humanity - Neat little puzzle game. Not especially challenging. Somewhere between Lemmings and an obscure Amiga game called Timekeepers.

Endling - Come for the cute foxes. Stay for the sudden realisation that you can actually lose those babies and this isn’t what you thought it was. Like Stray it’s not overly long, although somehow even bleaker.

I really liked that little crab island shooter. Cute and inexpensive. Not a huge or blockbuster game but pretty fun for me. I need a new FPS after OW2 ruined OW1.

OP if you liked Project Wingman VR, you absolutely owe it to yourself to try out VTOL VR.

As a combat flight simulator enthusiast I can’t recommend it enough. Virtual joystick so you don’t need to set up a HOTAS (it works surprisingly well), online multiplayer with a very active modding/custom scenarios community, and a good balance between realism and arcade.

I literally rebuilt my pc with this game in mind 🤪

Elden Ring and Dead Cells stand out to me the most.

Blizzard, do piracy w Ad blocking on android

You wouldn’t be able to use AdGuard properly with Opera anyway because Opera don’t accept user certificates (issued by AdGuard or AdAway) so it wouldn’t filter https traffic.

Try Vivaldi, amazing browser, built-in adblocker. Hopefully will be better than Opera’s. Personally haven’t tested it as I’m using said AdGuard which Vivaldi has no problem with - one of the reason I moved from Opera to Vivaldi.

Or simply change DNS to AdGuard.

Wait since when is firefox considered slow ? For me the speed is decent i dont have a 1000$ phone so i dont expect it to be as fast as on my pc

bjoern_tantau, do gaming w Pirating games you own?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

I often pirate old games I own because I’m too lazy to go find the disc. Although at least for Gothic I went to find my old disc anyways because the version I downloaded was missing the In Extremo concert.

And I pirated Sims 4 because of some DRM stuff, can’t remember the exact issue. But let that sink in, I had to pirate a game that is literally free.

Rentlar, (edited ) do gaming w Pirating games you own?

(See my Beehaw comment for the full detail)

Is it piracy to do that? I’d argue no.

Is it illegal? Possibly, but it’s a grey area and it all depends on your country whether it breaks the law.

PenguinTD, do gaming w Pirating games you own?

Depending which country you lived in, there is legal consequence for getting stuff from unauthorized source, there are a couple ways to work around your data cap.

Legally:

  1. get a external USB3 SSD portable
  2. download using internet not capped, ie. your friend or library, mall, etc(remember to limit the data rate so you blend into ambient youtube/streaming traffic) Referencen: Scrolldown for a chart and use 720p/1080p as your rate limit
  3. hook up back to your PC and move the game to different local SSD folder.

Shady, really not recommended because of point 3:

  1. look up your local law regarding P2P like torrent AND VPN. (well, not every country consider VPN legal.)
  2. Make sure you know how internet works, protect yourself/identity. Pick a good VPN provider, make sure they have their own or use good privacy policy DNS, pick a good torrent client that supports magnet link and encryption and choose “forced” option. (means you don’t download/upload to client that have encryption turned off. ) And set you seeding cap, (I don’t blame you if you choose to not seed cause data cap is real.)
  3. Last but not least, pirated game, like any pirated softwares, are exposing you to malware/virus/randomware, etc. They can hide in any possible files you downloaded cause you don’t know what else they touched this entire thing to work. So sandbox your environment or playing on low overhead VMs might be necessary.

And, when you can, move somewhere that have good ISP that have no data cap.

Doods,

As someone who has pirated many games, and who lives in a 3rd world country that barely cares about most minor physical crimes, I am not worried in the slightest.

everything after this point is closer to a rant and unrelated.

minor includes, but isn’t limited to: corruption, driving opposite side, hitting someone with your car as long as they don’t get seriously hurt (It happened in front of me once and it was kinda funny to be honest, the man got hit and kinda slept on the hood), damaging public property, blocking the sidewalks with your shop, Using a drill to draw a heart on the middle of the street to celebrate your marriage, blasting music hearable 3 blocks away several hours a day, and 12-year-olds driving cars

Piracy is 100% unpunishable where I live. (also atleast 90% of the population doesn’t know that software - aside of no-body-uses Google play apps - costs money, including Windows 7 and office 2010*)

*This is why I cannot share .odt Libre Office files.

Just to try the stave off an inquisition against multi-lingual support, the extreme filesize isn't because you're downloading different "language packs". The extreme filesize is because, for whatever reason, they decided to package up five entirely seperate copies of the game in five different languages. You are, in fact, downloading Fallout 3 in its entirety five times.

Doods,

This is believeable as tomb raider only went from 12 to 20 something, and FFXIII changes cutscenes so mouths match spoken language, even though there’s only Japanese and English.

pre, do piracy w How is pirating software a thing?
@pre@feddit.uk avatar

Worth noting that paying for a license for software doesn’t stop it being spying malware either. In fact the pirate versions often take out the spying and the reporting-to-homebase that proprietary software does.

The photoshop that phones home to check a license is arguably more malicious than the pirate version that has been cracked so it doesn’t do that.

alexg_k,

Good and valid point. I use opensource software wherever I can.

Though paid software is not going to encrypt your data for ransom or use a keylogger to steal bitcoin (yet).

NullGator,

There was an antivirus that was caught running a bitcoin miner in the background tbf. If memory serves it was Norton?
