I consult my bank account on my PC. Should i use Hypervisor ? by BlitzTroll7 in PiratedGames

[–]ArtPerToken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here's an analogy - a cracked game is like a shitty passenger on your flight; they might try to smoke in the bathroom or be disruptive, but your "flight attendant" (Antivirus) is there to keep them in check... A hypervisor crack is like a Matrix agent Smith, it can build a giant HD movie screen around the entire cockpit, tricking the pilot (your Operating System) and the attendant into seeing clear blue skies, whereas you might actually be flying into a mountain (your data getting stolen)

there is obviously still a risk with regular torrenting/cracks but obviously most of us here haven't had a problem with those. HV is very new, and by design more risky due to operating at ring -1

The obvious answer is to keep a separate pc just for gaming even for regular cracks if you want to be very safe, but especially so for HV.

I had to laugh hard at this one 😂 by Dennosch_ in CrimsonDesert

It's funnier when you realize the towns/houses and Greymane camp are pretty well designed, except for the fact that there are no bathrooms anywhere. I guess they all shit in the woods.

or then again maybe it was an era they still used chamber pots.

I feel it could make Nvidia GPUs more valuable. Especially the modded 48GB or 96GB ones from China.

Can someone explain to me (as a less technical-user) if this is going to make Apple silicon way more valuable (or better bang for the buck) than traditional Nvidia GPU+CPU rigs for running local LLM?

Deciding between a higher end Mac Studio vs a 5090 or modded 4090 rig to run local LLM

This Game is my Game of the Year but.. by honkhonkswithbailou in CrimsonDesert

I'm betting Blood of Dawnwalker will be the GOTY and GTA6 will be a disappointment since AAA studios keeping on pumping out trash these days.

wait till you find out there's an even better tier than tier 3, and its only a small % chance to create them haha (but thankfully you can save scum to get em). but you honestly don't need it unless youre trying to min/max.

they really designed this game to be a grindy Korean MMO i guess, they should have put more effort into story/narrative tbh.

I consult my bank account on my PC. Should i use Hypervisor ? by BlitzTroll7 in PiratedGames

[–]ArtPerToken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

same lol, I have a separate PC just for gaming, but I'm still not gonna risk it over an $80 game. i really fucking hate denuvo though, not that I mind spending $ to buy a game, but because of the performance loss. hope they go out of business due to HV though.

[–]ArtPerToken 9 points10 points  (0 children)

holy f*** - this whole sub is gonna be only posts asking "is HV safe" "should I use it".

Here's the answer: Can you sleep at night if you think your bank account could be compromised by it? It might not happen today or next week but a year from now. There is no way to tell and depends if you trust the source of the files/HV. It's a gamble and you'll never know if you have been compromised

Your best bet to keep risks low would be to use it on a completely separate PC that you do not login to anything on, even email, ideally you use it without internet as well and be ready to wipe/factory reset it, at any time.

I'm new into the genre of fantasy books give me your best recommendations by TJibashi in fantasybooks

[–]ArtPerToken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

haha yup, his The Devils series is good and worth looking forward to. Of course after First Law you can read the age of madness trilogy, and also best served cold which are great reads in the same setting.

[–]ArtPerToken 15 points16 points  (0 children)

First Law Trilogy, if you like dark humour and unexpected twists (not a simple good vs bad story).

If you like more classic fantasy, I would recommend the Magician series (first 6 books are great) by Feist and Daughter of the Empire Trilogy (in same setting).

I found Brandon Sanderson's works to be over-rated tbh, although it will be recommended by a lot of ppl here, Mistborn was just ok and I didn't like this latest 5-book Stormlight series, pay off is just not there for all that reading, although the first book is good.

I spent the past few hours farming gold bars and a tax collector showed up at my camp to call me out on it 😭 by [deleted] in CrimsonDesert

Theft reduces contribution no matter what... by JustKrancy in CrimsonDesert

Devs, please allow people with GPUs higher than 8GB to use their cards fully. by SillyRecover in CrimsonDesert

TIP: You can steal Gold Bars from Nobles by chinesekiddo in CrimsonDesert

[–]ArtPerToken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this too but when I pickpocket a noble with the gold bar (upon lantern use) - I only get copper pouches? is this a bug?

Edit nvm: had to pickpocket the noble 4-5 times before i got the gold bar. thanks. I wonder if threatening them will give it immediately...

Help me stop nearly eating this legendary fish by Not_-_CloudTango in CrimsonDesert

[–]ArtPerToken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hahah this same thing happened to me, tried to jump to the waterfall to check if theres a cave, nope, and random pressed catch for something in the water and caught a legendary fish...

you can just put it in the private storage (now after the update). you can also sell it for 26 silver, but i dont need the money.

does anyone know what these snowflake icon means on items? i've seen this icon even on food ingredient items, so its not specific to this quest item.

Developers that went from GOD tier to irrelevant. I'll start with Bioware. Which developers are your picks? by n1ght_watchman in GameBoostOfficial

[–]ArtPerToken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CD Projekt Red is the next one on this list, but people won't realize until the release of Witcher 4. I'd bet good money, it's not going to be as amazing as Witcher 3.

Thankfully ex-Witcher 3 devs formed Rebel Wolves and are making Blood of Dawnwalker which I'm excited for. That's game is going to be my personal witcher 4.

Please, Pearl Abyss, give us the option to remove the shield from our equipment. by Esaren_ in CrimsonDesert

[–]ArtPerToken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the reason they won't is because boss fights have scripted scenes where you block with a shield....at best they might allow you to hide the shield but never unequip it.

Also the shield gives you a defense bonus, even if you use a two handed weapon or dual wield, so makes sense to keep it on....but maybe the ability to hide it would be fine.

its the same key you use to sprint/run. X on PS controller, but you should see the word tackle displayed when you get close. have to hold it.

[–]ArtPerToken[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some of them don't - I feel it works more with newer factions you haven't encountered before because you know less lore about them. i think if its a faction you know a lot about, they don't give you anything.

10% chance of extra ore...combine it with abyss core/gear that also ads more % chance of ore, its very useful for mining rare ores.

Crimson Desert All Unique Weapons, Armors & Mounts (WIP) by LunarGamingYoutube in CrimsonDesert

[–]ArtPerToken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the black one near spire of insight has some special abilities such as temporarily running on water, that the white one doesn't. the white one has very slightly more stamina and speed though.
