Reviews hit yesterday, check your preferred gaming sites

7Sea_Sailor,

The review embargo was lifted with the start of the early access, meaning that all the regular review channels that received review copies have already posted their content.

Steeve,

That’s not “pre-ordering”. Go write the reviews

bookmeat,

Go watch people actually play it in twitch or steam or YouTube. See if you like it. Why wait for someone else’s opinion?

TechnoBabble,

And also, the “early access” is just a way to get people to pay more for the game in the first week.

By all reasonable standards, the game has been fully released.

“Pre-ordering piracy”… What does that even mean?

BurnedDonutHole, w Starfield has been cracked

And even it’s cracked from I won’t be able to play it thanks to my old as system and my lack of will to purchase a new one untill it dies.

Qualanqui,

Haha I was thinking along similar lines, my R5 1600 is either going to take to it with it’s usual shrug while it rolls up it’s sleeves or just explode, it still punches way above it’s weight so hopefully it won’t explode but she’s getting a bit long in the tooth.

dendarion, w Can anyone recommend a VPN that has working port forwarding?

www.azirevpn.com seems like a decent candidate. Haven’t tried it myself yet

iHUNTcriminals, w So how fast do y'all think Starfield will get cracked when the early access goes live tonight?

I just finished it yesterday.

I mean, if it was gonna be anyone, the Pinkertons would be it. I imagine they’re just waiting for the US to become corporate-owned enough that they can operate on US soil without getting in trouble again.

Huh, the game isn’t even out yet. 🏴‍☠️ stay winning, I guess.

It’s out on (paid) early access. Think that’s how they got the game files lol.

As soon as anyone can download a game, all pirates can too (unless Denuvo)!

aldalire, w Having a hard time settling on a VPN

Not recommending a VPN here. But there are many open-source anonymizing networks out there that need more attention. I know speed and avoiding blocks and captcha’s are important to you, so this answer is not geared toward your use case, but for those looking for a free alternatives to VPN’s and don’t care about the speed and want to help out the network, there are

lokinet: (github.com/oxen-io/lokinet) (Based on the LLARP, low-latency anonymizing protocol, basically tor 2.0).

(My personal favorite): i2p. A network within a network. Downsides are you can only download torrents within the network, but the upside is there is a solid community and there are more and more torrents that exist. Mental Outlaw has a great video about i2p

There are some VPN’s you can trust, but in the end of the day, I trust encryption and the decentralized network better than any centralized corp.

Kuro,
@Kuro@feddit.de avatar

Can you give a little more input in i2p? Where to start and what to use? Would be nice :)

aldalire,

Sure thing matey! I am happy to chart a course as you sail through these waters.

In short, i2p is a network within a network. Think of it as being it’s own seedy town within the larger city of the internet. Any information that enters this town is end-to-end encrypted. Now, in this town, to preserve anonymity, people pass along information in paper notes. Each person accepts notes from different sources, encrypts a bundle of it, and passes it along in a chain. (hence the name “garlic routing”. When it hits your “inbound tunnel,” or a set of (usually 2-3) people that have been assigned to pass messages to you, they incrementally un-bundle that message until it hits you, and since you have the private key you can unencrypt the message.

Information that stays within this network are automatically anonymous. These people in your inbound tunnel do not know that the messages are being sent to you, nor do they know any information about the source. They only know that they’re passing these messages along.

One way companies figure out that you’ve been torrenting is that they would torrent a public pirated movie file. Then, they would target the ip addresses that would actually send them that information, because they know they are seeders. These companies cannot do that in i2p, because everybody in i2p is just passing along information!

There are different options for installing i2p:

For windows, there’s the i2p easy install bundle that bundles a firefox profile and automatically installs the i2p router. This uses the java implementation of i2p.

For linux, there’s a java (i2p) or c++ (i2pd) implementation of the i2p router. Basically the same program but in different languages, and i2p routers can still communicate with i2pd routers and vice versa. I recommend starting with java i2p, and after trying it for a while try i2pd. There’s more GUI in the java implementation, but the i2pd version is faster because cryptographic functions run faster in c++. Mental Outlaw has a good video on running i2pd on linux

ProvokedGamer,
@ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca avatar

If i2p is completely anonymous, does that mean we can torrent risk free using it?

aldalire,

Yup! I haven’t had to pay a vpn in months and have populated my jellyfin server with torrents within i2p :-)

ProvokedGamer,
@ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca avatar

That’s crazy! Thanks for telling me and other pirates about i2p. :)

DonnieDarkmode,

I heard about i2p during my search; I’m interested in it. Would it work with the arr suite when I get into that down the road?

aldalire,

Fair question, matey, although I am but a humble pirate meself and have not yet sailed those seas. Those waters still need to be charted by a swashbuckling pirate. Here’s a lead that I found: reddit.com/…/how_to_setup_radarr_and_sonarr_for_a…

SpringStorm, w Can Skip Redirect be considered redundant if you have uBlock?

Can uBlock also skip redirects? The whole time I’m using it, it doesn’t skip them at all. I use FastForward to skip redirects and it’s been working really well.

Xirup,
@Xirup@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I didn’t know FastForward but it looks great, in fact Skip Redirect didn’t work on many sites. And I do not know, it is a comment that I have read a lot but I have never been able to confirm, I only know that at least in my case sometimes the counters of some pages go down to 0 suddenly but I do not know if it is because of uBlock.

SpringStorm,

I didn’t know FastForward but it looks great, in fact Skip Redirect didn’t work on many sites.

I’ve been using FastForward for months and every single time it successfully skips redirects. Though the addon is not on Firefox for now due to some miscommunications. You’d have to install it manually here. But if you’re using Chrome or Edge, you can install it directly from the store.

Xirup, (edited )
@Xirup@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I have been using it since I read your comment and it is absolutely great, not only because of piracy, but also because of the links attached to some Youtube channels.

Early_To_Risa, w **this seems to be the theme of the season mateys**

Not the main point, but this is the first time I’ve seen “allowlisted”. Lol

…are they trying to avoid saying whitelisted because of the word “white”?

Andreas,
@Andreas@feddit.dk avatar

Yes, it started from this terminology change at Twitter in 2020. They’re the reason that version control systems call the primary branch ‘main’ instead of ‘master’ by default, because ‘master’ comes from the master/slave terminology that is used in electronics hardware design.

There’s a comment here saying that master/slave in hardware design is being replaced by primary/secondary because of the software trend, which I think is stupid. Master/slave works much better in that context because the master device controls the slave device. Primary/secondary implies that the slave device is a fallback of the master device.

IoSapsai, w Where can i find rare books ?

I use irc for the more obscure books. It’s a bit more annoying but once you get the hang of it, it’s easy.

buckykat, w How to *not* get ratted whilst cheating in Minecraft

What the hell is cheating in Minecraft? Isn’t that like cheating in Lego? You can just make a server with whatever setting and mods you want.

melmi,
@melmi@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

People like to cheat on community servers so they can own those kids at bed wars or whatever. It’s not the same to mod your own server, because then you’re not exerting “power” over other people.

buckykat,

I see, OP is just a douchebag.

themagzuz,
@themagzuz@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

not necessarily. there are servers with no rules, like 2b2t where hacking is pretty much required because everyone else does so. interestingly, this means that the pvp actually loops back to being really deep and complex

buckykat,

Why then would OP be concerned about being caught?

themagzuz,
@themagzuz@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

getting ratted isn’t getting caught. a RAT is a remote access tool, which is commonly included as a trojan in order to give a hacker remote control of a victims pc

kworpy, w Has YouTube Blocked Your Adblocker Yet??

For me it’s quite strange. This first happened around 2 weeks ago, I was getting ads, however only the audio works as when the ad plays the screen is black.

I’m on Firefox with uBlock. Also I never got this popup, I just started getting ads with a black screen.

cmysmiaczxotoy,

Install 1.51.1rc2 and restart Firefox. That will fix it. github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases

Gellis12, w I know it's redundant and annoying at this point posting her bullshit but I just found this too funny to not share. @db0 remove this if you want,it's fine.

I’m out of the loop, what’s the context for all this?

TWeaK,

Empress is pretty much the only person who cracks Denuvo DRM - the only other person who publicly releases cracks only does it for Football Manager games. However, Empress is just a little unhinged, as this post demonstrates.

There was an r/HobbyDrama reddit post that covers much of the history: reddit.com/…/digital_piracy_the_rise_of_empress_h…

Corkyskog,

When are we going to get a Hobbydrama community on Lemmy?

mnemonicmonkeys,

Be the change you want to see in the world

Devious_Thoughts, w I know it's redundant and annoying at this point posting her bullshit but I just found this too funny to not share. @db0 remove this if you want,it's fine.

No gay content? What is this, Nazi Germany 1984?

@LinkOpensChest_wav@beehaw.org avatar

Having a “no gay content” rule in a discord server is like having a playground where you’re not allowed to use the swings or slides

narc0tic_bird, w Is anyone concer about denuvo on switch?

Detecting that the game runs on an emulator should be rather trivial I imagine.

In theory, it’s also rather trivial to remove these checks from the game binaries (if you have the knowledge, but enough people have).

What Denuvo does is it not only implements these checks very effectively, but it also modifies/obfuscates/encrypts the game binary/code in a lot of ways. I honestly don’t know a lot about how it works, but this deep integration makes it very hard to remove.

There are two ways you’d circumvent Denuvo DRM. Either by emulating all checks and whatever Denuvo wants in order to verify the game copy is “legit”, or to completely remove Denuvo from the game binary. Both have proven to be very hard and a lot of work. There are likely only very few people out there with the expertise to do it, and of these people, most of them probably work for Denuvo (most people understandably prefer getting money for what they are doing as opposed to street cred), and most others don’t bother.

There’s one known cracker who calls herself “EMPRESS”, but even she doesn’t crack nowhere near all Denuvo games, as it’s simply too time consuming.

Some people assume that the Switch version of Denuvo will be less powerful, but I honestly doubt it’s that much less effective. I don’t think Denuvo would announce Switch availability if they’d think it wouldn’t be effective, they have a lot of high-paying customers to lose (or not to gain).

It’s always a battle between DRM companies and the cracking scene, but with Denuvo it has been a steep uphill battle so far.

ninchuka,

I think theres another group that can but they only crack fifa
