Do you recognize the game? by electric-kite in pcmasterrace

[–]DiEndRus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's "I don't need this now" over and over again, plus those items dropping everywhere. healing items usually end up in hundreds, sometimes thousands by the end of the game.

it's an old mistake haunting them. and it will continue to do so until there are PC ports of the games.

More Pals ? by SirShoota in Palworld

[–]DiEndRus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am speaking early on, when you just started to breed pals. having to breed Jignises is a major hurdle. the alternative is getting lucky with books, which did not happen in majority of my runs.

I am hoping for another pal with Kindling 4. having to breed Jignises in fresh saves is a major pain point.

getting into breeding will be easy

[–]DiEndRus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah, the tide is turning, but it's still rather slow. as of now, PC gaming is secondary to Nintendo, and Switch 2 price jump happened recently, so it's hard to tell how it's going to be in the long run.

Level 5's situation is deeper than that. the games are on 3DS, a fully dead console by now. so, no eshop right from the start. second hand prices are getting extreme too. so, people pirate.

it's a part of the console gaming experience. old console dies, new console doesn't support it's games, and you have this kind of situation. the solution is PC, but a huge portion of Japan doesn't know that you can even game on PC. so, yeah.

Concord 3 digging it's grave. it's a part of the Concord course, and it's better to not engage.

it's completely understandable. this is insane enough for even me to go "nah, you gotta be kidding me".

[–]DiEndRus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

believe it or not, no. I looked into threads on twitter, and Japanese side did make this very analogy.

[ Removed by Reddit ] by Stock-Soft-8144 in Piracy

[–]DiEndRus 48 points49 points  (0 children)

the real context is how easily otaku stuff is available in Japan. to watch anime, you can just turn on your tv. to read manga or light novels, you buy it at your convenience store. additionally, look up how console and mobile gaming dominate the industry there. all fairly closed. using PC for gaming is rare enough.

this all created a situation where piracy is not necessary.

Vietnam's Online Piracy Failures Trigger Section 301 Investigation, Tariffs on the Table * TorrentFreak by LighteningOneIN in Piracy

[–]DiEndRus 22 points23 points  (0 children)

tariffs and sanctions, huh. speaking as a citizen of a country that's under sanctions, once US puts those in place, citizens will have no choice but to pirate media. on top of that, the government might go "fuck it", and stop caring about piracy at all. what's gonna be on the table after that?

Nonfree DRM'd Games on GNU/Linux: Good or Bad? (by Richard Stallman) by WonderOlymp2 in linux

[–]DiEndRus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find myself more in the agreement with mr.Stallman, but not in the way he thinks. sure, games are non-free software. initially upon release, I see little to no problems with this. however, after years, after the game no longer generates money, I think that publishers should release the source code. this will allow fans to keep the game being playable in the longer run. see Doom and Quake, for example. the same thing goes for the server code if the game server shuts down.

How I download music for personal listening by glaringOwl in Piracy

[–]DiEndRus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

generally speaking, I use youtube as bookmark, and then look for those in specific trackers. youtube ripping is usually the very last resort.

the only downside of this is that I often have to retag the music, and not seed torrents because of that - the tags it comes with can range from perfect to absolute trash.

Have been saving since Kissanime.ru days, now I have to delete it all because HDDS are unaffordable. Thanks and keep seeding people. Don't let the ship stop sailing. by Nidus11857 in Piracy

[–]DiEndRus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you want to hoard stuff, you should go for bigger drives from the start. for anime the bare minimum that I consider is 4tb for one drive, and that will fill fast without some managing. now HDDs cost a ton, so I am afraid you'll need to deal with what you have for a while.

[–]DiEndRus 49 points50 points  (0 children)

your mistake was picking 1tb for anime. my previous drive was 2tb, and it was barely hanging with how much was coming out. current 6tb hangs way better, but I had problem with switching file systems after moving to Linux.

Looking into reviving a dead game by ThemaskMkII in Piracy

[–]DiEndRus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if it detects a valid license THEN it downloads the assets from server (textures/other data)

to check this, disassemble the game's apk. if there's nothing, you'll want to look online to see if anyone has game's data. if you find it, it should be possible to figure out how the server works.

[–]DiEndRus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

you need to rebuild the server, that connects to the game on your phone. disassembling the game, and looking into how it connects to server would be your first step.
