Don’t pirate windows.

Download the official ISOs and then use an activation tool instead.

I don’t think the above scripts work with 8/8.1 but you can likely find activation scripts for them.

Persona 5 Royal Reloaded

I got P5R on steam sale at lowest price and found out with a jail broken PS4 (which i have) you can convert your save to PC so you don’t have to start over (completed first dungeon on PS4 and dropped it a few years ago)

Can’t stop playing it now, especially with mods that mix up the battle music and one ones that restore the oddly cut content shown in the recently leaked 2015 beta build. (More hangouts and more “M” rated language present)

wazzupdog , to piracy in Win8

Afaik, you can just download windows and run it, till just get an “activate windows” prompt that might be annoying. It’s great if you just want to try something out if you need windows to update firmware of a peripheral.

MindTraveller , to patientgamers in What have you been playing this week?

I’m playing Morrowind! It’s my first time!

I already downloaded a couple code fixes to reduce crashing, Solstheim rumour fix, DB attack fix, and gender neutral dialogue. Any other must-have mods I can install on an in-progress save?

SteveNashFan ,

Morrowind is one of my favorites! Graphic Herbalism is nice, but the DB and Sosltheim fixes are the only necessary ones, atleast for OpenMW.

Have fun! You’ve probably already heard this if you’re aware of the bug fix mods, but if it seems like you’re missing every other attack, check your stamina and make sure you’re using a weapon you’re character has the skills in. A low stamina bar affects every skill check, and that iron dagger in the census office often trips people up if they try using it without taking short blade as a major skill, as an example.

I love Morrowind, but it doesn’t do the best job of walking you through how combat works unless you read the manual, so I thought I’d mention it just in case :).

MindTraveller , (edited )

I’m using a bound spear. I have skills in conjuration and spear. I still miss most attacks though. How am I supposed to have high stamina when I reach enemies if getting to enemies requires walking and thus expending stamina? Should I be taking a rest break every ten steps or guzzling potions?

I just got back from the first difficult Mages Guild duty. I had to recruit a new member and gather dues from some people who live in bumfuck volcanic nowhere. I now hate cliff racers with a passion. On the other hand, I’m level 5 and I’m starting to kill scribs in one hit. I also can’t believe I cleared that entire dwemer dungeon just to find the puzzle box right near the entrance. Plus side, now I’m loaded on dwemer coins. And playing a conjurer was definitely the right move when it came to those ghosts. I’d have been fucked if I were using mundane weapons.

One thing I’m disappointed by is that a minion-based build seems much less viable in Morrowind than Skyrim. Seems you can’t just go all in on conjuration in this one. One thing I like is spears! Spears are the best weapon!

SteveNashFan ,

Yeah, resting whenever the stamina bar hits half is generally what I do lol. The Mages Guild definitely throws you to the wolves with that quest, when I did it I failed the speech check and had to fight her.

I’ve never tried a conjuration build, but I definitely remember falling back on my dagger regularly when I played a Dunmer mage. The Mages Guild has an item chest with magika potions you can use freely.

You can also enchant a ring or amulet to conjure, so even if your magic/Intelligence is low you can consistently summon minions if you can afford the cost of the enchantment. A big difference from Skyrim is that enchanted items recharge automatically when you rest.

This makes a build where you carry around summoning rings/amulets to use before every fight not only possible, but incredibly strong from what I’ve heard.

TheRealKuni , to lemmyshitpost in maple beans rule

I still have a tab in my phone’s browser with this exact meme from last year. I love it.

andrewta , to asklemmy in Would you wear a body cam at work?

Certain jobs I would. fire, police

Most jobs I would not

perishthethought OP ,

Sure. But where to draw that line? I can imagine companies will want them for liability reasons.

andrewta ,

The line I draw currently is this. Jobs that we currently look at and say those persons should have body cams. Police fire rescue.

I’d also add landlords and their staff/assistants should have them. Other than that . No I wouldn’t wear them.

Little_mouse ,

I imagine if my occupation includes carrying a gun, interacting with citizens, and a historically high rate of extrajudicial deaths amongst people I am supposed to be protecting. A publicly accessible camera would be beneficial to easing the minds of those I interact with and providing evidence for any actual instances where I felt my life was threatened.

lolcatnip ,

Draw the kind at jobs where someone wields authority over the public, disputes can’t be easily resolved after the fact, and the person doing the job moves around too much for fixed cameras to be adequate. I can’t off the top of my head think of an example that isn’t in law enforcement.

If you take away the authority part, you could say that, for example, cleaning personnel should wear body cameras because it’s so easy for them to commit theft, but they’re already treated pretty poorly and I wouldn’t want them humiliated further.

@anon6789@lemmy.world avatar

I heartily agree: they should be a tool to serve the public interest. That police can withhold that footage after an incident or have any justification having a camera off in public, I find it reprehensible.

Using it on private citizens feels more like having a cheap overseer…just a tool to punish.

I’m close to finishing The Talos Principal 2 as well, I’m quite enjoying it.

I get it’s annoying to see a comment on almost every news article shared that contributes nothing to a conversation, but you can also just block the bot and be done with it.

I’m not sure why it’s enough of a bug bear to take even the short amount of time it took to make this image and post it.

OP and others like them are seething at the fact that disinformation is more difficult now, you used to be able to post whatever insane bullshit you wanted and people might engage with it, now you’ve got a great big old banner at the bottom of your post telling everyone exactly how much bullshit you’re spewing.

They’ve been outed, so now they’ve taken to attacking the credibility of their watchdog, because if they want people to continue to engage with their propaganda then people need a credible reason to distrust MBFC.

TheAlbatross ,

I dunno I think that’s a tad conspiratorial… lemmy is a pretty small audience upon which to launch state sponsored disinformation campaigns. It’s a far simpler explanation that it’s just some dork annoyed at bot comments, which makes sense tbh, it’s just easy to solve by blocking the bot.

skulblaka ,
@skulblaka@sh.itjust.works avatar

OP’s account is less than 24 hours old and already contains two articles from nonreputable sources and a complaint urging people not to trust the reputability watchdog. Even if I am overreacting, that’s a bad look.

Also, nobody said it has to be state sponsored. Nongovernmental actors propagandize shit all the time. People do it all the time for free in my home country, and I guarantee you’ve experienced the negative effects of it, because this is why you hear things about American conservatives every day.

A citizen who cannot trust their news cannot act. And a citizen who cannot trust an independent fact checker cannot trust their news.

Disinformation is easier than ever on US corporate social media, because they’ve been folded into the US military-intelligence-propaganda-industrial complex.

Mods, I appreciate this bot!

Deciphering media bias is tough, and finding 1 site that will ‘perfectly’ identify biases is an impossible task, but at the minimum having this bot show up on posts ‘gets people thinking’ about the credibility of their news sources.

MBFC doesn’t have to be the ultimate arbitrator either. If it is missing something about a specific article people can call it out in the comments. At the end of the day, the worst thing it does is add more data about a news source and I’m not gonna complain about that.
