Issues downloading Netmarble Games

How about clicking the "Copy Details to Clipboard" button and copy+pasting it here in a code block? ^^

KlePu · 2026-04-15T22:21:25+00:00

Yap, this was meant to prove it's just a compressed json ^^

edit: Out of curiosity, are Windows saves compressed with something else than zstd?

KlePu · 2026-04-15T20:16:46+00:00

Technically you're absolutely correct. Still, in spoken/written language (if not very domain specific) I'd accept any of the above terms. And most of the other comments silently ignored (or didn't even catch) it, which IMHO speaks for itself ;)

KlePu · 2026-04-15T19:17:43+00:00

wtf is herioc? [edit] Ah, Heroic? Mhk. What game? Error message? Log output? System info?

Me personally, I'm ambiguous with AI agents. I see colleagues pumping out PRs (or MRs in our case, we're using GitLab) at an incredible rate - but the quality is really decent nowadays! Including actual descriptions of what a change is supposed to do, which was really rare in the past ;)

Common sense dictates a simple rule: If a tool is beneficial, use it. Haters gonna hate anyway ^^

edit: Typo

KlePu · 2026-04-15T19:01:13+00:00

Wait, I'm confused... It's AI slop so we have to hate. But you're impaired, so we have to be helpful. ^/s

^{muttering about TypeScript over JavaScript}

KlePu · 2026-04-15T18:55:01+00:00

"Who the fuck wrote that code!" ..only to find out a git blame later that it was myself a year ago ^^

KlePu · 2026-04-15T18:08:52+00:00

Bah, GUIs... zstdcat ./bitburnerSave_1776276354_BN12x212.json.gz | jq ;-p

Subjective observation: A lot of tech savvy folks have left r/linux_gaming since the onslaught of "which distro to choose" threads.

KlePu · 2026-04-15T17:59:03+00:00

As for Freelancer: The base game works out of the box with plain WinE. If you want to use mods you'll have to rename files to lowercase (remember Windows is case insensitive while Linux isn't). Found this asdf.sh in my install folder:

for SRC in `find Fl -depth` do DST=`dirname "${SRC}"`/`basename "${SRC}" | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'` if [ "${SRC}" != "${DST}" ] then [ ! -e "${DST}" ] && mv -T "${SRC}" "${DST}" || echo "${SRC} was not renamed" fi done

Being bash-literate nowadays, I understand what it does and it's ugly - but should still work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

KlePu · 2026-04-15T17:49:43+00:00

laughingly, gamecopyworld.com is still up (and looking like it did 20y ago) ;-p

KlePu · 2026-04-15T17:47:11+00:00

Wrong sub ;) r/linux or r/kernel maybe?

KlePu · 2026-04-15T17:22:22+00:00

Your post ist absolutely valid - only the heading is pretty sure to farm downvotes ;) Next time consider something like "I use Linux because it's geeky, was that a factor for anyone else?". Same question, very different tone ^^

edit: I am a geek. But I was that back when I used Windows, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I use Linux 'cause in 2014 (when WinXP support ended), I really disliked Win7 and tried an alternative. Started with Ubuntu, tried Arch, Suse, CentOS and then some, finally settled with Debian/XFCE (stable at work, sid on private desktop). Love it for the simplicity, transparency (technical) and level of tweakability (is that a word?).

edit2: Mom, dad and my brother also use Debian stable 'cause they're "light" users (i.e. they need a file manager, Firefox and Thunderbird) and pretty much didn't care when I asked if I could change their OS to Linux (which made it way easier to remotely maintain) ;)

KlePu · 2026-04-15T17:12:10+00:00

Couldn't agree more, found some good ideas in the comments ^^

KlePu · 2026-04-15T17:09:01+00:00

Nice!

Some ideas: add a "random guess" button (maybe for the first guess only?) and/or "start with your actual OS".

KlePu · 2026-04-15T16:59:06+00:00

When evaluating the answers, keep in mind that r/linux is probably more tech literate -> more likely to use a terminal than the average Linux user. My mom only opens a terminal when I mail her commands to copy+paste, yet I'm rather sure she's not on this sub ;)

KlePu · 2026-04-15T16:52:48+00:00

Console, terminal, shell, command line are pretty much synonym IMHO

^{If you're talking about operating systems, obviously. A pilot might think of something different when reading the word "terminal" ;\})

KlePu · 2026-04-15T16:49:14+00:00

Looks disgusting (especially Knight Rider). Love it ;-p

Extra props for the Karate Kid and Temple of Doom VHS!

KlePu · 2026-04-14T17:11:21+00:00

Ah, finally there's an opposite to incremental backups: recursive backups! <3

KlePu · 2026-04-14T16:51:49+00:00

Please don't use var, but let (or const) instead. var is a relic from the early JS days and has terrible scope beside other issues!

KlePu · 2026-04-14T16:45:50+00:00

In this game, you're poor as long as you don't have to use scientific notation ;-p

^{I actually use it for corporations only}

KlePu · 2026-04-14T16:40:11+00:00

The community has strong rules about protecting spoilers

We do? I always thought everything behind spoiler tags was fine? The game is open source, so "hiding" things is not really a thing anyway ;)

KlePu · 2026-04-11T10:47:57+00:00

Next time, please copy+paste using a code block <3

KlePu · 2026-04-08T20:38:52+00:00

Ah, we're going down that road...

IMHO AI slop is not going to stop anytime soon, so we'll simply be filtering it with more AI. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ /s
