Kongregate was my teenagehood. I met so many amazing virtual friends through there.

This director doesn't have many directing credits but seems that worked out well for The Super Mario Movie. His current catalog is averaging around 7 on IMDb, which is a far better indicator of quality than RT, so that's promising.

So... do you think we'll get "silent" Link (as in the games; the version of Link who doesn't have much to say -- besides his iconic mouth noises, of course), a return to "Well, EXCUUUUSE me Princess!", or something different?

Ugh, so much freemiun trash.

roguetrick , to gaming in Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a live-action TV show

I get they're just shopping it right now, but we are seriously getting like Japan and anime with these fucking streaming live action shows. If you've got an IP that seems like it has a pulse go for it. I don't dislike the game, but the writing doesn't justify it.

Edit: Not to say that I think relying on proven showrunners and creators as a system is any better, mind you. I don't really have a solution to how these multimillion dollar productions should be put together, it just seems really vapid.

God, finally. Maybe playstation will get better now? They've been declining in quality for literally ages.

I mean, I know the pandemic felt super long, but 5 years is not exactly what I would call ages.

playstation started declining with ps3 which released in 2006. PS4 released in 2013, a decade ago. PS4 wasn't worth buying. That's a decade of garbage from sony.

Phanatik , to gaming in It shouldn’t be this hard to play old Armored Core games

I've been ripping PS3 games for a little while now. I've recently bought some Dynasty Warriors Gundam games from Japan which I'm dumping at the moment.

Armoured Core has especially been in a thorn in my side. I've got 4 and 5 but still trying to acquire For Answer and Verdict Day. They're extremely hard to come across. I haven't looked at the PS2 games but I'm sure I could find those for cheap. Super easy to rip with a standard Disk Drive.

eltimablo ,

I've got a rip of 4A if you want it. Might even have my old copy for 360 around here somewhere if you'd prefer that.

Phanatik ,

That's very kind of you. I prefer physical CDs that I can redump if anything gets messed up. Haven't seen what I need to dump 360 games but I can give it a go.

360 games require original hardware unless there’s been some breakthrough recently. They use their own kinda weird dual layer DVD format.

Phanatik ,

Well shit. I think I'm close to being done with the PS3 exclusives so the 360 is an option.

@SenorBolsa@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah you can get drives that can rip them with third party firmware installed, (I have drives with custom firmware for other things) but the cheapest way is to just use an actual Xbox 360. Doesn’t need to be modded, Xenia can just use an installed game, so you just install the game to a flash drive then you can move it to your PC and run it from there.

I’m curious, can a standard Blu-ray drive on a PC rip PS3 games? Or do you need special hardware? I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to rip PS1 games.

Phanatik ,

I've read that you can use a Blue-Ray drive. The RPCS3 website has a proper guide on it though I haven't tried it. I jailbroke my PS3 (not fully because it's one of the 320GB models) and use that with FileZilla to dump games over the internet onto my PC.

Mindless_Enigma , to technology in Amouranth made a chatbot clone to outsource flirting — and protect herself
@Mindless_Enigma@beehaw.org avatar

I don’t really like the logic of “chatbots like this will help cure loneliness.” It might help someone feel less lonely at first. But then it’ll be a crutch and, if anything, hurt people’s ability to socialize with other real people. Like it’s a quick dopamine hit that will slowly dig you deeper into the hole you feel you’re in.

cnnrduncan ,

Adding on to your comment, I read a really interesting study recently that suggests that interacting with AI engages the social parts of our brains but does not provide the same stimuli/feedback as interacting with a real person leading to increased loneliness and thus increased alcohol abuse and insomnia.

Fascinating, do you happen to have a link? No worries if it’s buried or you don’t remember, but I’d love to read it
