When you put it like that yeah but I was forcing myself through games I wasn’t necessarily enjoying.

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

I get what you are saying but a lot of the time it’s just a mediocre experience and I’m not necessarily disliking it. More indifferent than anything. Occasionally a game has made a pretty solid turn around in the last act

CorrodedCranium,

I guess I meant it more so in the fear of missing out on something culturally relevant. Whether it’s a modern multiplayer game like Destiny 2 or a classic that is frequently referenced like Half Life. Not being able to be part of the conversation when it’s brought up

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

No Man’s Sky. It looked slow and grindy but people kept hyping it up. I caved, and forced myself to play 20 hours trying to find the good bits. I never found them.

That’s a game I tried as well but I feel like I set myself up for failure by trying to see everything the beginning of the game had to offer versus exploring naturally.

There has to be an example of that happening but I can’t find one. Can you think of anything?

PiBoy Mini: just add a Raspberry Pi and you've got a handheld retro gaming system (www.raspberrypi.com)

Retro gaming is a massively popular Raspberry Pi application, and while loading your favourite old video games onto an SD card is pretty straightforward, building the physical shell of a gaming system can be daunting for those of us without 3D printers or design skills of any kind. PiBoy Mini bridges that gap by providing...

Sometimes the portability is nice.

There’s also a ton of emulation handhelds out there that can likely do the same thing with better firmware for around $100. Look at the RG35XX or the Miyoo Mini. Both devices can play up to PSX.

Here’s a photo taken from their website.

The triggers look like they would get very tiring to use. There’s also only two so you wouldn’t be able to play PSX.

May want to check archive.org. That’s where the GTA 6 footage stayed up for a while

Trying to download/export, and convert 1000ish kindle books to get out of amzns ecosystem angielski

Does anyone have any experience with doing this? It’s not for myself, but for someone who isn’t tech inclined. I want to set him up with FOSS to avoid future shitification by azn. I know I need to strip drm, and then convert out of amz formats, but really have no idea how to do this. Any help would be appreciated! -j

That’s how I feel about most farming sim games like Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley

The OG Splinter Cell. I modded my original Xbox not top long ago and am looking to play games on it so it wasn’t a waste so I figured why not give it a try?

I am enjoying it so far but I’m used to playing the new Hitman games where the AI is rather predictable and I can gun my way out of most situations. I just beat the Kalinatek level and feel like I need to finish the game at this point.

I don’t know if I need to play one game after the other to full understand the overall plot or what game I should stop at if I just want to play the best in the series.


Not sure if I’ll play Baldur’s Gate 3 because I own the first two on multiple systems and haven’t beaten them

In Minecraft I run in one direction for half an hour and build little forts. I don’t sleep in the bed and when I die I die. There’s a neat sense of satisfaction finding all the little things I’ve left behind.

I used to do pixel art too so I’ve run into giant glowstone Pikachus in the past

I kind of hope they add dystopian elements. It would be an extra thing on top of my message of my sewage canals

Can anyone think of an example of a game released moved back to release earlier?

The Steam Deck is changing how normies think of gaming PCs.

Just thought I’d share something I thought was pretty interesting. I have a mother in law who is… well let’s just say she’s a stereotypical older mom who doesn’t own a computer, just an iPad. During the pandemic, she started getting into Nintendo games and bought herself a Switch. Fast forward a few years later and...

Even so it made it significantly harder for people to make the dated throwaway comment that you’ll lose access to a majority of your games by switching to Linux.

With that I feel like people will see it’s just as usable as MacOS and Windows in a majority of circumstances.

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

I’m not too sure. I used to browse /r/MacGaming despite not owning a Mac but I lost of track of things when they killed 32 bit support

VR headsets and games with anti-cheat software still have issues. I haven’t been able to get Oculus Rift S to work for example.

I think some headsets like the ones made by Valve and HTC work better though. I’m not sure if there’s currently the same degree of rapid advancements for VR Linux gaming as there are for gaming in general on Linux. I know OpenHMD exists but I haven’t tried it out myself.

Have you tried using the PSVR on your computer?

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

I would have linked an article. I haven’t experimented with it myself but it seems like there’s one paid project available through Steam that aims to support the PSVR

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

Me too. Messing around with hardware is something that’s always stuck with me from when I was a teenager. If you give the PSVR thing a test mind messaging me or commenting so I can hear how it goes?

Just take your John Madden Football Sega Genesis ROM and use this tool to update the roster yourself. Who’d be able to tell the difference?

I wonder if they’d have a hard time selling a service that doesn’t include the micro-transactions.

What's the history behind cam rips of movies and where have they typically came from? angielski

I’ve seen a few throughout my life at friend’s houses as a kid during the age of Limewire. Typically they were pretty good quality even though you’d see the odd person get up from their seat or hardcoded subtitles. Lately I’ve been curious about the history behind them and how they came to be....

For Windows I’ve used Game Save Manger for years, since it’ll auto find save locations that you want to select to be backed up.

On Linux you could use a program like Timeshift and specify the general directory your save files are located in and have them backed up on a schedule as well.

As for saves. I’ve had some luck finding them from nexusmods and sometimes steam message boards or guides.

That sounds like what I’m going to end up doing. I wasn’t sure if there was a general well known hub for save files I was unaware of.
