Hell yeah, congrats! I get back into DCSS every few years but I have only escaped with the orb once, a lucky MiFi run. Just getting there is huge!

themoken@startrek.websiteto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•As an older torrent gen, I tried Debrid for the first time.English7·1 month agoI use private trackers exclusively for content I want to “own” or want in the highest possible quality. Stremio/RD is great though for my wife to be able to search new media and potentially stream in okay quality without fucking with sonarr. Or popular TV you’re maybe not sold on but would try an episode. Or for old SD content, like tossing on a 90s show for a few episodes. To be honest, I live in a world of ad block and Stremio is sometimes the only way I even know something is out…
Anyway, they complement each other well.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•What's your favorite FPS weapon?English16·2 months agoFlak cannon all the way, but I spent many days in high school instagibbing my friends so the shock rifle does hold a special place in my heart.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•The best streaming service :)English3·2 months agoCertain ones, like music trackers, can still be interviewed into. Once you get into an initial tracker and establish yourself, it becomes easier to find / get into new ones via forum invites. It’s a long road but barring a time machine it’s the easiest way.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•The best streaming service :)English4·2 months agoI dunno, maybe I just had crappy indexers but usenet was always more miss than hit for me. Maybe it’s superior to public torrents but private trackers are the gold standard.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•New Civilization 7 update adds a confusing Natural Wonder plus tweaks to the UI, AI and Age mechanicsEnglish7·2 months agoThe way the first paragraph is written made me think this is a garbage AI article, but I guess it was a joke. I hate this future.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•Was Avowed a Success? - Laura FryerEnglish21·2 months agoI’m with you, I’m having a blast, but I think the reactions are because of the idea that it would be a Skyrim type game and… It’s not really even trying to be that. Like you said, it’s an ARPG, the roleplaying is basically just dialogue and most of the game is really well done exploration and combat.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•Some 20 hours in, I can say that Civilization 7's age transitions are the series' most radical and disruptive mechanic yetEnglish9·4 months agoYeah, I was watching Potato McWhiskey and this is his take. They have metrics that show most people don’t actually finish a game and that indicates a pretty big flaw in game design.
One interesting thing the devs brought up was the ability to pivot from one civ to another based on new information. Like if you discover your continent is mostly plains and horses, then maybe your next iteration looks more like the Mongols, with bonuses to cavalry. If your early conquest didn’t go off, maybe you pivot to a more science or culture oriented civ.
I don’t hate these ideas, it just depends on how it actually feels in game.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•Diablo 4 lead claims players don’t actually want classic Diablo back as modern gamers are too “consumptive”English22·4 months agoIt’s subjective. Easy builds can be super fun. Especially if you earned it by getting some gear. It’s also an accessibility issue. Not everyone is 25 years old with lightning reflexes (or, conversely, not everyone has 20 years of history with the genre).
Anyway, my point was only that if you’re bored with being OP, try something different. If you think you’re invincible but killing things is a slog, maybe shift your gear to be more offensive etc. The way these games work, difficulty is entirely up to you.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•Diablo 4 lead claims players don’t actually want classic Diablo back as modern gamers are too “consumptive”English67·4 months agoI enjoyed D3 and D4, I think they both do difficulty well (at this point, D3 was stupid at launch). In both there are now hundreds of fine grained tiers you can shift up or down to find the right difficulty for your gear/build/skill.
That said, holding down a button to win is more of a build issue unless you’re running embarrassingly low difficulty. There will always be easy builds and more challenging, technical, timing based builds. Finding a fun build is part of the fun of ARPGs.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Hello pirates, I am looking to start sailing the seas again but it's been a while looking for hardware requirements?English61·4 months agoSo it’s not fully self hosted then? I can’t see how it would do that without registering you with their own service as a middle man. Seems like that kinda defeats the purpose.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Hello pirates, I am looking to start sailing the seas again but it's been a while looking for hardware requirements?English41·4 months agoSorry, why would Jellyfin be different from Plex for exposing to the Internet? Dynamic DNS service / static IP and router port forwarding just like any other self hosted thing. It requires a user/pass to login as usual. VPN is nice but not required.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•LG discontinues all UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray playersEnglish3·5 months agoI’ve only used Jellyfin, what does Plex do better for the non-expert user?
themoken@startrek.websiteto Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla releases API pricing, dev says would cost $60 million per year to run his 3rd-party appEnglish1611·5 months agoI mean, fuck Elon and Tesla but if you’re spending money on a car you’re giving it to a bastard one way or another. The CEOs of Ford, BMW, et. al. might not be making asses of themselves on the global stage, but I’m sure they’re still horrible. Even used cars run on gas 99% of the time.
Because at some point after the first few million you turn into a dragon that must hoard wealth and the people that generate that wealth become a cost to minimize.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Update on BluEnglish2·6 months agoI got my account locked on BLU because I stopped seeding when my RAID went down. I was able to recover the data and get back up in about 24 hours but there was literally no recourse other than begging some random mod’s reddit account.
Always sad to see a tracker go down, but this place was a shit show.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Gaming@beehaw.org•Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes4·7 months agoI feel guilty about it, but I appreciate the monthly pass. I played EUIV for exactly one month, at a total cost of like $7 (got the base game for free at some point) with all the bells and whistles. It seemed like a good compromise because you’d have to pay it for years at this point to cover the DLC out right, but it is a disgusting level of rent seeking behavior.
Now it bothers me that I’d need to put another $7-$10 into the machine to access those saves, but not as much as if I’d throw down hundreds of dollars on it to own the content for a 10 year old game.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•Factorio Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in FluidsEnglish4·7 months agoI have a few hundred, but 5500? Sheeeit. The game is definitely evergreen though.
themoken@startrek.websiteto Games@sh.itjust.works•Factorio Friday Facts #430 - Drowning in FluidsEnglish6·7 months agoCan’t wait for the expansion, 10/21. I’ve been putting off a new play through for it, and Wube always puts in so much polish (as the FFFs show).
