Never heard of it, probably never will once I forget about this post.

Yep, agree. Heat Signature was also fun, but getting rather repetitive.

I can’t switch to Linux due to software requirements for work. On my personal computer I’m using Xubuntu for well over a decade, I didn’t like the unity window manager of Ubuntu. I heard they changed to something else by now, but I can’t be bothered to switch.

One more reason never to use the official adobe software. SumatraPDF is awesome. Barebones and blazing fast.

viking, 5 miesięcy temu

Yeah it does. Adobe has a lot of active script support, including java script for example, which can be exploited. If a software can’t interpret those scripts at all and simply displays plain text, that means malware won’t be executed.

And since Adobe Acrobat / Acrobat Reader are the most common pdf viewers out there, they are a natural target for hackers as well.

I genuinely don’t know, I have set my browser to download pdfs by default and only open them with Sumatra. There might be a scripting layer active in the browser as well though, quite possible.

Bypassing copy protection has always been the number one reason, it was never emulation per se.

Anything good you can recommend? Haven’t seen much good since Witcher 3… And before that, maybe Gothic 2 or Oblivion.

The signup process for mastodon sucks massively. Unless you’re nerdy enough to sort it out, you’ll give up then and there. Bluesky is very straightforward, while offering customization to those looking for a non-mainstream experience.

Same for Lemmy tbh.

The OG Doom is fairly linear, unless you play on the lowest difficulty level where all doors are permanently open. Else you need to kill specific enemies that can only be found in certain rooms to get keys.

I never used any ranged weapon in the game, did I miss out?

You can’t patent certain game mechanics. Would have to be an actual piece of code that was replicated.

GDPR protects user data, not virtual data associated with an avatar you control. We might get there someday, but as of now, you’d only be able to request copies of stuff directly associated with yourself.

I never played the game, but thought the show was pretty great. Maybe not being familiar with the game is key, since you have different expectations?

The option to download free is excellent, I wouldn’t know what price is “fair” without checking it out first. Will give it a try for a couple days and then come back with a decision (or not if I end up not liking it, who knows).

It says not to leave “subjective bad reviews”. As in, objectively bad is fine.

In the context of a game, let’s say a clearly outdated graphics engine that everyone can agree on looks very dated. Or game-stopping bugs. Constant crashes. Etc.

I’ve tried time and time again to enjoy “modern” games, but nothing released after Oblivion or The Witcher 3 was worth my time.

Plenty of old games however have an extremely high replay value, thanks to their immersive missions and bugfree gameplay. Recently played Thief: The Dark Project again (from 1999), and it’s a bloody masterpiece.

Blocking is a personal thing, there’s no heuristic that determines if a specific user is blocked by x people to automatically block them for users. That would be quite appealing though, but the abuse potential is quite significant, if you have a bot army…

Reporting will notify the moderator(s) of the community, so if and how fast they react really depends on them.

Breathedge - SciFi game where you are stranded in a small shuttle after your main ship exploded, you’ll need to fly around in a space suit with limited air supply, gather stuff, examine objects to identify possible devices you can cobble together from random space trash, and eventually build and upgrade your equipment to the point that you can progress to another area, and so on.

Once you know how specific items are built, the solution is near identical, just some components might be drifting in another part of the screen.

Not at all, the cracked copy from fitgirl works just fine, for those who can’t be bothered to succumb to ubisoft DRM.

Any multiplayer game. They sacrifice a deep and interesting storyline for the sake of pointless grinding and slaughtering.

Firefox has zero issues with adblock on Desktop. On mobile I prefer Newpipe, but hey. Anything goes.

viking, rok temu

Newpipe is accessing the videos straight from the backend. There is no chance to splice any ads into, unless youtube were to modify the source material, and that’s highly inconvenient. And then we’d just use sponsorblock anyway.

They tried to change the code to access the raw video material many times over, but unless they encrypt it and enforce decryption via keys uniquely embedded in the official youtube app while somehow finding a way to prevent a disassembly to use their keys in unofficial apps, I don’t see that happening.

viking, rok temu

Not trivial at all, else they’d have done that already instead of playing cat & mouse. How would they differentiate whether it’s the official app, some mobile browser, or newpipe? Changing the user agent or cloning a fingerprint from a browser is the trivial thing here.

Nope, what’s that?

If you can’t afford a good VPN, you can’t afford to torrent.

If you don’t pay for something, you are the merchandise. And the last thing you want is a VPN that sells you out, when your primary use case is to do something illegal with it.
