@sramder@lemmy.world avatar

You can get it in a can, just gotta’ pour it off before you toss all the beans. Or get one of those big boba straws… pro tip: buy a few cans, there’s just not enough in one.

linux gaming without 3rd party launchers.

HouseWolf ,

Funnily the first time I tried Linux on my desktop was because I wanted to play BF4 but the EA App refused to launch on Windows 10 even after restarting/reinstalling everything.

I slapped Pop_OS on a backup SSD and got it running through Lutris within the hour.

Origin was a fucking nightmare to use even on Windows, and honestly…the EA desktop app wasn’t really an improvement.

@wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world avatar

Origin was better in literally every way, but it’s predecessor, the EA Download Manager, was even better, as it wasn’t an always-online DRM piece of shit. You logged in, it listed your games, it downloaded them, and games still used a CD key.

Though I’m still pissy, as I bought NFS Carbon and obtained it via EADM, but when they moved to Origin, existing games didn’t transfer, and there was no way to grab games for archival. So EA owes me a fucking copy of Carbon, since I didn’t have it installed when they sunset EADM.

Fuck you, EA. In every conceivable sense of the word and action.

Just slap the “Linux” onto any post and immediately get more upvotes on Lemmy.

Ubisoft Connect is supposed to update itself when first launched. Which games specifically are you referring to with broken versions?

CodeAssembler , to books in Are you writing a book ?
@CodeAssembler@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m still in the world and character building phase. Sketching landscapes, rooms and such, writing little short stories to form the characters (my idea is that they have a “memory”, don’t know if it works in the end).

As for now I’m completely analog, I bought a nice notebook and do everything in it. But when time comes I think I will go with Obsidian as I already use it for my other notes/projects. I think it will be very powerful with the graph-view regarding relationships etc.

Obsidian is not FOSS though, and there are alternatives. I just hadn’t the time to look at them.

Edit: Obsidian can be used for free when you do not use their sync features. I use it that way and just have it in a Git-Repo for accessing it on different devices. Obsidian notes are in Markdown so you also do not have some kind of vendor lock, it’s just about the links between the notes.

I’ll take a look!

palordrolap , to nostupidquestions in Ok so coffee is made from coffee beans. And beans are *also* made from beans. Why is nobody making, like, black bean coffee?

I strongly suspect that many of these things have already, uh, been tried.

As for those that clearly made it through at least one round of testing, a self-styled "Weird Explorer" has a YouTube series called "That's not coffee" where he - and occasionally a friend or two - reviews some of them.

Not sure if there's anyone on there who has tried roasting and grinding other sorts of beans for science though. The closest I can think of is the various creators making tofu alternatives from beans that aren't soy, which kind of turns the whole thing on its head: Could you make a tofu from coffee beans? (I'm guessing not, but that's another for-science idea.)

Daxtron2 , to fediverse in What made everyone move to Bluesky or Threads instead of Mastodon?

Is it really that surprising that large companies with lots of money can advertise better than user run instances of open source software?

RustyNova , to linuxmemes in I'm looking at you, ubisoft

It always reminds me that genshin is playable on Linux with proton (at least in 4.2, and I didn’t even tested wine). It’s just the launcher that doesn’t work. They are just so close yet so far

AkatsukiLevi ,
@AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world avatar

It is fully playable? I play on Linux with HoyoPlay and I have absolutely no issues?

RustyNova ,

I haven’t booted it up since 4.2 but I do know I didn’t had any issues. You just need to start from the game exe instead of the launcher

exu ,

There’s “an anime game” project to workaround the launcher and anti-cheat. Was fully playable when I used it a few months ago, but I did have to change to Proton GE or something else to fix some graphical glitches.

Also, no guarantee your account won’t get banned.

AkatsukiLevi ,
@AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world avatar

AAGL, it works great, but ‘going around the anti-cheat’ is no longer true, since the mHyProtect is working just fine on Linux

exu ,

Huh, since when? I did check the project wiki and it still says there’s a workaround for anti-cheat, but whatever. Nice that it’s working better on Linux since I last checked.

AkatsukiLevi ,
@AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world avatar

Since 4.6 or something like that, don’t remember exact But the anti-cheat with even HoyoPlay is working fine on Linux, even ZZZ worked out of the box right on release

fourwd , to piracy in What are the advantages of using a private tracker?
@fourwd@programming.dev avatar

In my case, I didn’t see any advantages compared to public trackers. Users of private trackers are supposedly all so elite, but in reality they pay for seedboxes and try to be the first to download literally every new release to at least somehow support the ratio around 1.0.

Guys, while you seed all sorts of junk for the sake of who knows what, I seed really useful content on public trackers and have a ratio of 99.3, which in fact does not affect anything.

There are normal private trackers, of course, such as Milkie, but there are a lot of dead torrents there.

KazuyaDarklight , to asklemmy in How do I stop a 'planned future' from blindly determining my life's path?
@KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world avatar

Planning is well and good but your present self should be driving towards your future, not the other way around which is how this kind of feels. In some ways it strike me that you seemed to see yourself as the future state person that you wanted to be rather than who you are. It may be worth taking a step back to try and rediscover who you really are “right now” as a person, not what you think or thought you wanted to be, if the plan has been in place that long you may find that at heart you just aren’t in the same headspace as the you from all those years ago. With that done, reassess what the current you wants and set out to “make” those things happen, don’t trust for the new plan to just natural play out, each thing should at least be treated like its going to take effort. If getting a family together is a thing and really important, don’t just hang out at bars waiting for a connection to happen. Get on apps and sites and date like it’s your 2nd job. Building on that as an example, if you’re a halfway decent person you will find somebody, but it might still be person 112 and you have to put in the work to get through the first 111 to get to them.

HubertManne , to gaming in I typically avoid online games but this is why I'm fine with it in Elden Ring

whats the very good stone?

Cyv_ ,

Your character doesn’t speak per say, so you usually are limited to gestures for interacting with other players.

The stone refers to a series of items thatve been around since dark souls 1 where you drop a magic stone and a voice comes out saying the line. In dark souls 1 and some others it was a rock you dropped and it broke open making sound, so the “stone” term stuck.

In elden ring it’s called a “prattling pate: ‘voice line here’”. Your character blows into it like a flute kinda and the line is spoken.

Basically the guy showed up, said “damn ur fashion is on point” then left :)

HubertManne ,

ah. I have only played elden ring so did not realize it meant the prattling pate. though it was like a certain color of glowy stone.

Megaman_EXE ,

In the game, there are stones that you can find, and when you use them, they say something. There’s no voice chat in the games, so these can be used to communicate

This is probably the most honest review I have seen, that points to gripes I would have playing through it, as opposed to the way other articles and videos have glossed over those very concerns I had while watching gameplay footage. Thanks for including it!

Appoxo , to piracy in Alternative/manual way to fix cloudflare-locked trackers on Prowlarr
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Alternative: flaresolverr

github.com/FlareSolverr/FlareSolverr

Edit: Regarding your question to reduce issues:

  1. I had it on a Pi, and it didnt tac it very much (BUT I used flaresolverr!)
  2. Limit the request times of your trackers?
