I’m just a weird, furry, pan guy (cis he/him). I also have a big, blue username.
I’m learning Japanese so sometimes I might write something out in romaji just to practice. Please correct it if it’s wrong!
I pirate games to demo them. If I like them, I buy them legit. If I don’t like them, I don’t even play more than an hour and delete them.
It’s the only medium I’ve done this… If I am pirating a movie or a TV show, it’s either old and not able to be purchased or only available on Paramount+ which is absolute garbage and doesn’t work 90% of the time I have tried to use it.
“People bad.”
Going back.
Afaik, it’s possible for any file to be infected with a virus. Videos themselves can be, and .MKV is a container of other files (video, audio, subtitles). The video source, audio source or even .txt containing the subtitles could be a malicious virus inside the container.
Man, I can’t believe that site is still going. It was always my first choice for no-cds when games actually still came on CD/DVDs.
Go to rental place in the 90’s/2000’s
Rent things
Copy things
Return original - No harm | Return copy - ???
On the rare occasion it’s not on Spotify? Because it’s not on Spotify and I wanna hear it.
Well I can’t help much with the technical stuff (haven’t had any issues to solve) but here are some tips to help with the difficulty:
If you started as a Vagabond, unequip 1 of the weapons and maybe your gloves so you’re not fat rolling right off the bat. Class starts with a set of heavy armor, a sword and shield and a halberd and begins the game already overloaded, which will make avoiding attacks harder.
Rest at the site of grace that’s just north of the big camp but before the gates going up toward Stormveil so you can meet Melina and get Torrent as well as unlock the ability to level up.
Immediately after doing the previous thing, go back to Kale (the Santa Clause looking guy) and talk to the girl that will be there and get the summon bell and your first summon.
You’re directed to go to the castle in front of you when you start, but it’s intended for around level 20-30 so you’ll need to cut your teeth on some easier stuff. Instead of proceeding toward Stormveil, head south to the Weeping Peninsula. It’s a slightly lower level area than where you begin the game, and there is also a couple merchants with extremely useful tools like the lantern which will allow you to more easily explore caves, mines, and crypts without giving up your off-hand for a torch. There is also a good, pretty easy legacy dungeon to conquer there that will give you some goodies and runes to level up.
Hemorrhage (blood loss) is one of the best status effects in the game, and almost every corporeal enemy in the game is weak to it. Bleed builds are essentially putting the game on easy mode. The Samurai class begins with an Uchitigana which has the effect, and you can easily find a second Uchigigana in the early game to dual-wield them.
Rune Fragments can be thrown to distract enemies. Throw the stone where you want an enemy to look, and if it was close enough for them to hear, they will investigate giving you a chance to sneak by or backstab them. You can also hit someone directly with them or a knife or other thrown object to pull them into aggro away from a group (though there are some spots where this aggros everything so use wisely).
Is the experience bad because of technical issues or because it’s a hard game and you’re not good at it?
I remember asking for this a lot back when Shadowplay (I think that’s what it was called? It was exclusive to Nvidia cards and I was an ATI/AMD user then) first came out and they were actively taking suggestions for Steam Community/Overlay features. Valve time is a helluva drug.
I don’t go out of my way to record all the time, but damn do I like the idea of being able to hit a button and save the 30-60 seconds of what I just did when something gnarly happens.
Did you have express, written consent from both the NFL and 20th Century FOX? 🫠
Let’s overhaul the video game and film industries now.
Is Valve even truly interested in being part of the competition? All their hardware offerings seem more like prototypes or proofs of concept, and the details for other manufacturers to build on the idea are available. Like their strategy to inject competition in these spheres is more just lighting a fire under the asses of other manufacturers to get them making the hardware instead of Valve.
I just use informed delivery. It even can do something you couldn’t just DIY: it tells me what’s coming before it even arrives. Does it just tell you when you have mail?
That said: I just love things that are done simply because they can be done. Especially when they go hard like this. 😃
I think in this example it could go either way, depending on who is viewing it.
Regular people would say he’s famous.
People running streaming platforms and other big corpos (especially Tim Sweeny) might say he’s infamous.
Basically as soon as I found out about it. I really got into it when I later discovered emulation. Never felt bad about it; I was pretty much only looking for games I literally could not buy because they could only be had via retailers, and they didn’t always carry every title.
The game companies aren’t telling me this; it’s what I’ve experienced when actually using them myself.
Copyright itself has a time limit so… Who would be able to make a claim on a thing after it becomes public domain? 🤨
I remember when the go-to search term was “warez.”
I still don’t know if that was supposed to be pronounced like “wares” or “war-ehz.” 🤔
