I’d hazard a guess that most people down vote you not because you don’t want to use steam or that you want to pirate, but rather because it’s most likely something wrong with your setup and you can’t be arsed to figure out what the problem is. Which might end up being a lot more serious than simply being unable to launch steam.

IMO, figure it out, get your system to work properly and then go pirate if that’s what you prefer.

I’ll have to go through that thread post by post when I have time.

Depending on the game I switch between Xbox series, kishi, ps4 or dualshock 2, the latter I think is my favorite controller. I have tried a few others in the past, like Gamesir stuff and a few other telescopic ones for phones but didn’t stick for me.

However I am of the opinion of playing a game the way it was supposed to, if possible, ie I’d rather use a 3rd party n64 controller for n64 games.

I am not sure if Lemmy can handle it, but if it can, I want to eventually start a thread on controllers per system, with linked reviews on comments, either mine or from the community. But I doubt Lemmy can do that. Perhaps a wiki of sorts. Eventually.

How are those emulation devices? I really want to buy that rg35xx but I think it’d really bother me trying to play say ps1 in such a small screen. And of course ds stuff wouldn’t be that good considering the one small screen.

Still haven’t managed to get into MAM but abtorrents is pretty damn good so far. Haven’t managed yet to search for something I wanted and be unable to find it.

Not knowing what you’re looking for, I can’t help much. But I found a whole lot of art books on cgpeers and gfxpeers in the past. But registrations are closed now I think.

Last time it got so bad that I started duping to be able to function there with a new character without nolifing the game. Something which I had promised myself not to do ever in this game, ever since I learned how back in 2007.

I heard a lot of people with performance issues, luckily I never had that problem myself for whatever reason. Regardless if it was with the new or old engine.

Then again, if I ever decide to play again, I have an entire roster of lvl1 chars with the entire set of the store QoLs to go, from all the keys to the gardens, to stupid amounts of VP/tokens, to banks and portable stores and even endgame armors and a complete set of twinking weapons/armors for every skill/ability at every breakpoint. So it’ll be easy to get back into it.

Though I doubt I ever will again.

Meanwhile, 162 days and counting for dead space.

Doesn’t make me want to buy it, without trying it out first, but saying hours to days for denuvo is…a joke really. Sure there were a couple of games that were cracked in a couple of days, but that’s a handful of them in the last 6 years or so. Most take a long, long time.

It’s not. Most of the time it’s fine, but there have been cases in the past that they added their own DRM in the games.

Mine would be Anarchy Online. Still around, though FC has ran it to the ground and not too obscure, considering it used to be quite big before 2005ish, but almost nobody talks about it in EU and the few times they do is to comment on the dreadful launch.

But I doubt there’s a game I’ve sunk more hours into, playing constantly from release up to 2011 and then on and off until last year. Eventually I figured out it’s just nostalgia and it’s not worth it anymore, the time, let alone the sub.

Last I checked, if you had an account from back in the day, you could still play on the servers, even with other people (there is still an active community on discord for events and raids and pvp and such).

But no. Don’t play that abomination on steam.

I really dislike how it went full plugin mode. It annoys the hell out of me that I don’t have an app locally. Plus it looks a bit iffy to me on data collection compared to other password managers and the fact that it’s located in US doesn’t fill me with confidence about privacy.

I use dashlane and I want to change. Any ideas on something that can offer the same functionality?

ie awesome with input fields for autocomplete, ability to save documents and with a good android app?

Do you happen to have a good guide I could follow? I really like the idea behind playnite and how good/useable it can look, but I get lost every time.

If not for the rest, at least for emulators/retro gaming.

I really, really want to use it instead of having a bunch of launchers for pc and emulation but it’s too damn fiddly. Cant get retroachievements to work, normal achievements tab is forever empty, no way I found to have a unified control scheme, most of the plugins I tried do absolutely nothing, like the deal finding one, I could go on.

Not saying it doesn’t work, obviously it does. But it doesn’t for me sadly. And I can’t spend a week on trying to get it to work. Two days of following guides online, did nothing for me, so I just gave up.

Sonarr and radarr can use torrents just as much as they can use usenet. I used them for both, now I dropped usenet altogether.

I find it easier to either DDL or torrent, plus a lot of the stuff I’m after recently proved hard tto find on usenet for whatever reason.

It’s more hassle to search usenet for my usecase and while it’s true that maxing out download speeds is awesome, I’m not in a hurry. I let the .arr apps do the work while I’m busy with life and when I get back home I have it all ready anyways.

Not a server solution but it’s not a desktop app. On androids there’s Seeker that does an excellent job of connecting to the network and downloading what you want.
