No more music streaming in c/[email protected]
[–] lunsjentilanette 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And dont feel bad for random rights holders of dead musicians or musicians who are already filthy rich. If your music taste is limited to taylor swift and some up and coming indie artist make sure the whole budget goes to that up and coming artist...

Build your retro library without breaking the bank in c/[email protected]
[–] lunsjentilanette 4 points 5 days ago

Yea me too, there are certain aspects of emulation that gives a better experience that in my opinion makes up for not playing on original hardware, such as save states and fast forwarding. I dont have the time to play games for two hours at the time often so if save options are scarce i wont progress without save states. And skies of arcadia would have been a nightmare to play without fast forward, i think i skipped 6-8 hrs of repetitive attack animations in my playthrough (as judged by diff in play time in retroarch vs in-game).

But i would love to play on original hardware once in a while still

The Subscription Economy Sucks in c/[email protected]

Yup they suck. Gave up piracy for streaming services once, wont get suckered in again if an attractive new service comes along unless there is some proper ownership involved. But i cant really see that happening.

Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? in c/patientgamers
[–] lunsjentilanette 2 points 5 days ago

I first got mirrors edge around the time it came out, but didnt play it much, think it was because of stability issues. Then ive always meant to play through it but never got around to.

And while you can only ever experience portal for the first time once, it is still fun to play thorugh again, especially if its some time ago and you dont remember how to solve everything.

I picked up portal 1 again, one of my favorite games. And then i also tried frostpunk a little. Seems cool but so far i suck at keeping the people warm

I also picked up a bunch of games on gog and might finally get around to play mirrors edge if it plays nice with proton.

I love this. The mon mothma dance scene(s) were great and this music is in my party playlist now

In my headcanon they believed jyn because of luthens intel, even though they dont mention it in rogue one.

Worth it to dive into clone wars (movie, series and game) for lore? in c/[email protected]

Thats a cool project!! I can torrent :)

Norwegian Support for EU Membership Hits 15-Year High! - in 2015, only 18% supported joining the EU, while 72% opposed-a staggering net of 54%. in c/[email protected]
[–] lunsjentilanette 1 points 1 week ago

First: regardless of their capabilities it is still easier to block off supply routes from mainland europe to norway than eg between germany and france.

Second: lets perhaps prepare for a worst case situation and not make arrogant assumptions of their capabilities 5, 10, 15 years down the road? If we kill off our agriculture now to join the eu, we cant simply rebuild it if russia (or someone else) suddenly poses a real threat to accomplish such a blockade in ten years. And at this rate i would not rule out that it would be china or even the us doing the blockading - the world is a-changing, and assumptions is the mother of all fuckups.

The Luthen episode was the best of this bunch for me, but overall what was going to top 7-9?

8 must objectively be the best tv i have ever seen.

Theres talk of adopting the euro regardless of membership status whether that is just binding our curremcy like the danes or actually changing. Our currency is a joke and with the euro gaining momentum as a safe haven currency we will be left even further behind with our oil based currency. We lose sovreign control of interest rates and money supply though and im not too sure how well that worked for eg greece....

Worth it to dive into clone wars (movie, series and game) for lore? (self.star_wars)
 

My star wars interest has awakened again with andor, and ive so far tortured myself through jar jar binks in episodes 1 and 2 to refresh the lore on palpatines rise to power and transformation from the republic to the empire.

I am considering jumping into the clone wars before moving into episode 3. Both movie, series and the ps2-era game.

Are they worth it from a lore perspective?

Looking for user created Mass effect video from 2007 (self.games)
submitted 3 months ago by lunsjentilanette to c/games

Oh boy this is a long shot but here goes: back in 2007 when mass effect came out i watched a user made video on gametrailers.com from the game which ended up being tge deciding factor in buying it. It was called (i think) just "planet" and featured mako driving on a red planet set to the track adiemus by karl jenkins (or perhaps credited as the adiemus project or just adiemus).

I wanna get my nostalgia fix but i have never been able to find it again. So..... does anyone know how to find it? 🫠

Xenia on Linux? (self.emulation)
 

Anyone got xenia working on linux? If so what strategy did you use?

I can get the og version of xenia "working" with bottles, but it runs really poorly. Xenia canary does not work (just hangs with black screen and grey menu options for a couple of secs before crashing).

Backup of installed flatpaks? (self.linux)
 

I have a couple of flatpaks installed that are no longer available on flathub, and i want to make sure to back them up so that i can run them later if i install a fresh distro for example.

Is it as simple as copying the application folder from ~/.local/share/flatpak and adding it there later? Does that include dependencies as well?

Storing videos from online courses (e.g. Zenva) locally? (self.piracy)

I got some courses on zenva and gamedev.tv thru a humble bundle some time back and would like to store the videos from these courses locally. "Save video as" is greyed out, but is there a common technique to download such content despite this?

Where to start? (self.startrek)
 

I want to get into the Star Trek universe but dont know where to start. I have previously seen first three seasons of Disocvery and first season of picard. Picard was cool but disocvery didnt quite track, a little boring and not adventure focused enough. However loving lower decks now (just started season 4) and want to get into the more canon stuff.

I have access to TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise and SNW. TOS i could probanly get access to if i want, but gotta admit that is not very enticing.

So where to start? TNG?

If it helps (and i dont get shunned for this), i am a stargate guy and love especially sg-1 and the adventure of the week format and the character ensemble

Backing up my media collection on something like rsync.net? (self.piracy)
 

I have a couple of local copies of my media collection, but in case of my house burning down in a fire i would like to not have to rebuild my entire media collection. rsync.net offers some fairly reasonable storage prices (i guess there are many other good options as well).

Would you guys have any second thoughts on storing the entirety of your media collection on a remote server like that unencrypted?

Stylus for Surface Duo? (self.android)
 

I just bought a second-hand surface duo running android for the sole purpose of emulating nintendo ds. I want a stylus to emulate that part of the experience, but all styluses are a lot more expensive than i anticipated. But they seem to include stuff i really dont need such as bluetooth connectivity and such like.

Can i just get any pointy plastic thing to use as a stylus or do i need one of these that connect to the phone?

Safe DraStic .apk download? (self.emulation)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by lunsjentilanette to c/[email protected]

I recently got a used surface duo for the sole purpose of emulating nintendo ds and 3ds. I have retroarch running with Desmume but as far as i understand, drastic offers better performance on android.

I know i can get it on the play store (for now at least), but i dont have a google account (and i will not sign up for one). I can see that there are many sites offering downloads of an .apk, but they all seem pretty shady to me.

What would be the best way to get a malware-free .apk for drastic? Am i better of waiting for it to go open source and build it myself?

Leakage of data from Smart-TV jellyfin apps? (self.jellyfin)
 

This is maybe a little paranoid but... i have a jellyfin server that i let some family members use. one of them intends to use an app for apple tv, which i think is swiftfin or something like that. i am a bit skeptical about smart-TVs and the data they phone home with, so i was wondering if there is any chance that i could be compromised due to the linux isos i host on jellyfin due to some sneaky smart-TV stuff?

Best way of pirating printed magazines? (self.piracy)
 

What is considered the best/safest way to pirate printed magazines? On the Awesome Piracy-repo, there are some links, but they either don't work or look sus (except for maybe magazinelib.com).

If you endulge in free printed magazines, what is your preferred way?
