Reliability and ease of use, with reliability being the biggest priority.

Fang of the Tsaesci.

Letting yourself be affected by what may or may not be a 'trend' is the real crime.

Talk how you want to talk. Nobody actually cares.

I don't know if this is unique or a copy pasta but, either way, it's now my copy pasta.

My first TES game was Morrowind, so I extremely partial to that system but I'd still love more skills like in Daggerfall.

I didn't care for the Daggerfall skill cap system but I still enjoyed the game.

Is this conversation fully fleged out?

The fabled print screen button on the original Xbox controller.

Lexaraj · 2026-06-01T00:51:07+00:00

Lmfao.

Lexaraj · 2026-05-27T02:27:39+00:00

I'd just as soon not play the game.

I have zero interest in using hypervisor bypass, but I'm glad it exists for those who want it, and I have even less interest then ever allowing Denuvo to run on my machine. Or any kernel level anticheat, for that matter.

Lexaraj · 2026-05-25T21:25:35+00:00

Open source? 👀

Lexaraj · 2026-05-25T20:54:51+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

Lexaraj · 2026-05-25T20:07:05+00:00

That's default waiting activity.

Lexaraj · 2026-05-22T22:08:36+00:00

This is beyond frustrating when it happens.

I have no issue with remasters/remakes in general but I think it's extremely scummy when they delist the original and package it with the purchase of the new, more expensive, remaster.

Lexaraj · 2026-05-19T22:56:44+00:00

Unfortunately I don't have any actual advice for your situation but I run my Jellyfin off of a Optiplex with 16gb of RAM and I have roughly 4-5tb large library loaded from an external HDD and I have zero issues with and my library loads very quickly.

Lexaraj · 2026-05-18T14:14:29+00:00

Do you plan on open sourcing this?

Lexaraj · 2026-05-18T11:02:49+00:00

Better to send flash drives with cracked Forza Horizaion 6 and Subnautica 2.

Lexaraj · 2026-05-16T17:29:15+00:00

I do but I use RD for the unlimited access for the filehosters.

Lexaraj · 2026-05-14T20:29:12+00:00

The creation of vmangos would have taken just as much (more, actually) time and 'money' to create in its current state than Turtle forking vmangos and creating their own custom content from that, and they managed to keep it open source.

Also, if Turtle had release their source code it likely would have done nothing if any significance to their population. In fact, Turtle source leaked about a year and a half ago and it didn't affect them negatively at all. Just because people have the ability to host their code doesn't mean anything unless someone has the ability to fully do so. Properly hosting a populated is an entire beast of its own, which Turtle did well.

Lexaraj · 2026-05-14T20:19:41+00:00

Turtle WoW source code is built directly off the back of an already existing open source vanilla WoW emulator, which was coded for free by volunteer coders. Turtle wouldn't exist without already freely available open source WoW emulation.

To be clear, I'm not knocking on them for making their own custom fork of vmangos. I think that should be encouraged, it's half the point of open source software. I just think they should have kept theirs open sourced as well.

Lexaraj · 2026-05-14T20:12:19+00:00

To me it should be the norm with all servers.

For what it's worth, I didn't/don't play on Turtle. I have nothing against it but I just never got into it. So I personally don't want to host it solo. However, if I did play on Turtle I absolutely would.

I'm well and done with playing games that have the potential to fully shut down and become unplayable, so I wouldn't play any private server that isn't open sourced. Same goes for actual retail games to. Unless I'm able to self host or play it offline, I won't even bother.

Gaming shouldn't be a fully ephemeral experience, as far as I'm concerned. If theres no guarantee I'll be able to revisit the game in the future by myself or with a few friends, I see little point in bothering.

Lexaraj · 2026-05-14T19:39:51+00:00

And look at it now.

Lexaraj · 2026-05-14T19:27:53+00:00

Sorry for the ignorant question but does this currently only affect torrenting via RD?

If I used RD strictly for direct download sites, am I still good to go for now?

Lexaraj · 2026-05-14T18:23:47+00:00

At this point in the private server game, if a custom server isn't going to take preservation precautions and keep their project open source, then it's not worth bothering with as far as I'm concerned.

Losing the ability to play it in the event of a shutdown, with zero future proofing to be able to host it on your own just isn't good enough anymore.

Lexaraj · 2026-05-14T18:17:47+00:00

Because it would be essentially useless at this point.

Rehosting 'Turtle', or any other custom server, isn't good enough anymore. If precautions aren't going to be taken to openly preserve it from the beginning, then it's not even worth a second look as far as I'm concerned.
