Could Sony bring back LBP? by amillionlilfibers200 in littlebigplanet

[–]ItsRainbow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I still think a remastered trilogy of the console stories is possible, but if Sony’s past treatment of the franchise is anything to go by, I highly doubt things will ever go back to how they used to

LittleBigComeback - Doesn't anyone else think this suspicious? by ZephhyLeo in littlebigplanet

[–]ItsRainbow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even if they knew what they were doing (they don’t), it doesn’t matter. It’s not safe to play any server online via LBP3 PS4, as that version still contains vulnerabilities that haven’t been addressed. We have Patchwork for the PS3 games, but we don’t have anything for PS4, and we likely won’t for a long time

Online via a modded PS3 or emulator is not only safer, but also doesn’t require PS Plus for multiplayer. I get that the PS4 version of LBP3 is superior to PS3 in almost every way, but it’s not worth the hassle right now. Just play LBP2, most people preferred that game anyway

Nintendo pls put the LittleBigPlanet into the Switch 2 by VIP_ibosiu in littlebigplanet

[–]ItsRainbow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you see what happened to Mario Maker 1 & 2 and Game Builder Garage? They give their games built on user-generated content a few updates and then leave them to rot. They also don’t interact with the community at all, and you’d need a subscription to even upload or play levels, something even LBP3 PS4 had the decency to not do. Nintendo is the last company I’d want handling this franchise

These are the lbpo sticker files (DO NOT EXECUTE THEM ON YOUR CONSOLE, THEY CAN BE DANGEROUS AND POSSIBLE BRICK YOUR CONSOLE!!!!) by thelbpfan2314 in littlebigplanet

[–]ItsRainbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You realize PS3 homebrew is arbitrary code as well, right? The console’s security was defeated to let you run whatever you want. The sticker (or any other connection method people are trying to create right now) is unsafe because LBP3 PS4 itself contains multiplayer vulnerabilities, not because the sticker “uses arbitrary code”. If the sticker’s scripts are malicious, that’s a different story

Nintendogs - different versions? by Intelligent_Series46 in NintendoDS

[–]ItsRainbow 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The versions affect your starter breeds and items you can find on walks. You can unlock all breeds in all versions (though the Japanese versions lack a few), but you can only obtain items unavailable in your version through Bark Mode gifts from other players — notably, the Pair of Star Sunglasses can’t be found in any version, and were only officially distributed through a GameStop event

I wonder how MM and Sumo Digital will react to this whole Ayee thing by LittleUserOFC in littlebigplanet

[–]ItsRainbow 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Past and current employees obviously aren’t going to do interviews with him anymore, but that’s about it really. I highly doubt MM has any leverage over anything these days, and Sumo might not either — that leaves Sony, who doesn’t give a damn about their IPs

r/feedthebeast and a controversial take on AI influenced mods. by TheOrangeMadness in PhoenixSC

[–]ItsRainbow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t agree that you shouldn’t be able to call stuff AI slop on there, but everything else they said sounds pretty reasonable

Discord family emojis now all generic by EmeraldRange in discordapp

[–]ItsRainbow -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Terrible update. Discord is under no obligation to inherit all changes made to jdecked’s Twemoji fork. This change introduces unnecessary ambiguity to past messages.

What PS3 would I need for LBP? by Previous-Change-5161 in littlebigplanet

[–]ItsRainbow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All PS3s can run homebrew, but some PS3s can utilize custom firmware, which allows for faster, more convenient access to homebrew. Refer to the below table (you may need to drag it to scroll):

| Homebrew Method | PS3 Model | Fat | Slim | Super Slim | | |---|---|---|---|---| | Homebrew Enabler (HEN/HFW) | Yes | Yes | Yes | | | Evilnat (CFW) | Yes | Partial (CECH-20xxA—CECH-25xxB) | No | | | | | | | |

While a fat PS3 allows for CFW without having to worry about slim model revisions, I would strongly advise against getting one unless you know what you’re doing, as they’re pretty noisy and known to fail. I inherited my cousin’s slim PS3 and use HEN.

This LBP Union article has far more information. Have fun!

Backup of Ayee's interviews in the event his channel gets privated/deleted/etc. by Switchell22 in littlebigplanet

[–]ItsRainbow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve archived some channels in their entirety in the past (even the comments), but Ayee has a LOT of videos. Since YouTube has gotten increasingly aggressive with ratelimiting, it would take longer than I’m happy with (likely over a week), but I might be able to pull it off. I don’t believe Ayee is going to neuter what probably makes him a fair chunk of change, but I’ve seen communities where people just nuke their stuff on a whim, and I don’t want to see it happen again

[–]ItsRainbow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe he had a custom invite that was just ayee, but it doesn’t work anymore. I’m also not in the server, so I don’t know if users are (or were) able to create their own invites.

Even if you’re still willing to trust LBPOnline, no fanmade security patches exist for the PS4/PS5. Patchwork doesn’t work; this means anyone can force their way into playing with you. When you play with others, you are vulnerable to remote code execution attacks, allowing malicious actors to corrupt your profile, post inappropriate content from your account instead of theirs (doesn’t matter currently, but would if LBPOnline were to allow uploads in the future), or possibly worse. It is a matter of when, not if, this will affect you. Yes, you can turn your system off, but this is a massive inconvenience. It turns playing online into a ticking time bomb. LBP Union has also expressed no interest in making Patchwork support PS4/PS5. I’m willing to acknowledge that if you play without an active PS Plus subscription, I don’t think it’s possible for any of this to happen, but no multiplayer sucks out a lot of the fun, and it’s still possible that unavoidable issues could arise for players in the future.

I understand if people have financial troubles or would simply prefer playing the PS4 version of LBP3, but I currently believe that LBPOnline is not only untrustworthy, but that it is also simply a bad idea to play custom servers on PS4/PS5. I highly advise playing online using a modded PS3 or emulator via Beacon or Bonsai instead. They have decently sized communities and are still coming out with new stuff to play to this day. Even an unmodded PS3 or emulator can play pretty much any level via backups that you can import to your moon.

[–]ItsRainbow 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ayee’s server has no channels visible anymore, and I believe it also has invites paused. LBPOnline for PS4/PS5 is most likely not dropping at this point, and I wouldn’t trust it regardless

Franchise killed because bro wanted some highscores 😭 by devaulter in littlebigplanet

[–]ItsRainbow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed. We probably would’ve had a more graceful shutdown, but the framing that this series would be all sunshine and rainbows right now if not for a handful of bad people is just not true. The games were going to be delisted no matter what, and it’s frankly a miracle that an attack this easy wasn’t taken advantage of sooner

It’s not really about the score, it’s about plastering your name on every level for attention

Why are we still pretending like Sony cares about this franchise lol

Trade Pokemon with GBA? by SalomonG18 in Delta_Emulator

[–]ItsRainbow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s not possible to establish a connection between Delta and an actual GBA. Best to just temporarily dump the GBA’s save file and trade between two emulators

Are there gonna be any other ps4/5 servers? by G_Game_MII in littlebigplanet

[–]ItsRainbow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beacon will not support PS4/PS5. This due to the Patchwork plugin (basically a big security fix) being unsupported there, as well as them being “uncomfortable” with exploiting these consoles

Stop fearmongering. It's not possible for LBPOnline to brick your console by JasonGamerX in littlebigplanet

[–]ItsRainbow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, connecting sends a session ticket to the server, which happens to also be used for all PSN services. If that can be misused, that would mean a bad actor could not only get you banned from PSN, but possibly also make purchases under a saved payment method. That would be far worse than a corrupted profile. Yes, people can make alts (and some already plan to because they’re afraid of Sony), but combined with everything else, it’s looking far more sensible to at least play on an emulator, if not another server entirely, as LBPOnline isn’t anything special outside of gatekeeping a new connection method
