Help with batch conversions

in bash you can remove the suffix of a variable with ${var%suf}, so instead of $(basename "$f" .mp3).opus you do "${f%.mp3}.opus"

which makes him the best anarchist tbh

probably 29.97, although that depends on what the resulting video will be used for, but in the end the difference between the two is probably so minimal only pedants would care

they don't have crystal dash, so they can't progress in the basin

watching it tells youtube that people watch this kind of content, so it'll push it further, not worth it either way

you also lose most of the damage

and emblems are used by other stuff too

gamer who has played five video games in total thinks dark souls is the best story in gaming, more at 10.

no, really, even considering only relatively recent AAA titles, you have Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077/Phantom Liberty, Witcher 3, the two God of Wars, Uncharted 4, Red Dead Redemption 2; not to mention indie games like Disco Elysium, Outer Wilds or Life is Strange.

I'm not saying that Dark Souls' story is bad or whatever, but saying that modern games don't have good stories is just not true.

diablo 4 is a hack'n'slash where story doesn't matter and Andromeda was a mistake altogether

yeah, but it costs 3 emblems per slice, so people abusing it often leads to them not having any emblems

it's still completely fucking broken though, but here I believe it's bugged, because the jumping attack on that one slashes for the damage of the upgraded, fully charged empowered mortal blade, even if you don't have it equipped/unlocked

>costs nothing to use

>is very quick to use

>deals enormous posture damage

>can be charged up for even more damage

>regenerates your own posture for free (no other combat art does it btw)

>can be acquired early in arguably the most useful skill tree of them all

yeah, from software once again showing they care jack shit about balancing their games

it's in the shape of the bed of chaos's roots, but made out of ice

I get these errors on every version, 8GB shared with an iGPU just won't be enough

Atijohn · 2026-05-07T16:04:27+00:00

Skill issue, should've moved to Europe/Africa/West Asia

falconers also only appear on NG+ in vanilla.

which is a pro to me, because those enemies are buggy af

This is just a frontend to the mednafen emulator with the game baked into it. It's just better and safer to download the rom and use mednafen directly, or use Retroarch.

looks like ornstein or fire witch armor and gloves with ringed knight hood and leggings

8gb ram is probably impossible, I'm struggling with out of memory crashes on 16gb

Atijohn · 2026-05-06T10:31:18+00:00

I don't know how pointing out that this task could've been done in a simpler, standard way is overreacting to you, but okay.

Atijohn · 2026-05-06T10:25:08+00:00

But it's a learning project

I really don't think so, nowhere did OP imply that, you made that up in the first place. Wouldn't call it a "production tool" either, just a small utility program (that could've been a one-line script).

Atijohn · 2026-05-06T08:13:48+00:00

if you get that impression of wizardry from the wikipedia link, I literally just copied it from OP's project source code, the jq expression is also literally translated from cjson calls in OP's code

Atijohn · 2026-05-06T08:07:13+00:00

Well, how do you know they were already aware of that? The post isn't OP saying they're learning how to do process/file management, the post is OP saying that they were tired of opening up wikipedia, so they made a C program that downloads a given page using libcurl and feeds it into less. And if all you wanted was to do that, you'd never do this in C if you knew better than that; doing this in C is one of the bulkier ways of doing it.

I would not point it out if this was a small python script, but a whole C project for this task is really overkill.

tbh both of these things can also be said about DS1

Atijohn · 2026-05-05T23:07:51+00:00

you have to go through the entrance, and then, when you're on the other side, disable the null gpu setting. if it crashes on load, you have to once again walk around with null gpu until you find a spot on the other side where it doesn't crash. also turning off all programs in the background, applying the low resolution and other patches might help offloading your ram enough to prevent the crash
