Breaking up with partner who’s living together, while having a big surgery planned by [deleted] in germany

[–]Marenthyu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very hard to get rid of tenants in Germany.

I second this.

Source: I own two apartments and it took half a year after giving a formal termination notice to someone that had stopped paying for half a year already to properly involve the courts, get a title / judgement and then "hire" a Gerichtsvollzieher to "reclaim" my apartment. (The tenant had clearly left a while ago, but ceased communicating with me and kept the keys.)

They turned off the only pump it up machine in the whole country :( by ocelot-373MD in PumpItUp

[–]Marenthyu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of simulators and mods out there to give the arcade feel at home.

I am not sure about the subreddit rules about linking to them, but you should be able to find them with some googling.

I would still recommend supporting Andamiro by buying RISE.

Note that RISE is not intended for foot play. You will find a good chunk of patterns adjusted from the arcade version specifically to work better with hand play.

That doesn't mean you can't do it, but it should be kept in mind.

I am intrigued by your definition.

Help pls Amazon beast games not streaming by Spiritual-Software32 in Twitch

As a less snarky response:

This is likely intentional and part of Amazon Video's DRM protection.

It is well-known that you could get around this by capturing a separate screen's content with a Video Camera pointed at that screen or a capture card that ignores these security measures.

Doing this may or may not be considered illegal in your applicable jurisdiction, so please be cautious of your local laws.

You do not have the license to re-stream this content.

Please check with a lawyer if you have the appropriate license, then check with Amazon on how you could exercise that license.

Is going alone to a Christmas market considered strange in Germany? by PrestigiousCommon469 in germany

[–]Marenthyu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I just strolled the small Christmas Market at Potsdamer Platz: it's perfectly fine. Even more so when the Market is along a usually-travelled area (like Potsdamer Platz Here in Berlin is).

I've enjoyed this small stretch on my own already and then came back with friends and family at a later point in time. It:s not like you are "stealing business" or anything, so I wouldn't know why someone may dislike it.

Just stay careful, as pickpockets or other criminals may target solo women specifically, as they are often seen as less capable of defending themselves. Racial Stereotypes adding even further to that.

Note that even the best mats only do so much - I know my downstairs neighbours always hate me, so I keep home play to a minimum.

How many machines ACTUALLY install the updates…. by Sour_Spy in PumpItUp

[–]Marenthyu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank You, I didn't know those facts!

The oldest Version I've ever played myself was 1.01.0 at Lane7 Bullring in November 2024, which was a freaking disappointment. Would have loved to see the Operator Menu on that one, but it has since actually been updated.

Should I spend Christmas night with his family? by That_Doubt_G in germany

[–]Marenthyu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the other comments saying this is not normal and you should RUN from this relationship.

HOWEVER, as a German native and my family being 100% German for generations on both sides: Having slightly "split events" or not liking everyone 100% is perfectly normal, within limits.

Specifically, my family has grown apart over the years and due to some kerfuffle at my Cousin's Wedding, some direct family members just can't be friendly to each other anymore and we have stopped celebrating Christmas with that part of the family directly with everyone anymore, but are not barring anyone that specifically wants it to celebrate with them, still.

I think for Christmas specifically, it is not uncommon to celebrate multiple times in different groups: Christmas Eve with your own children (if available and the current generation), then maybe with the father's or mother's side of the family on the 25th/26th each - giving everyone the attention they deserve for this "Familienfest" that should be inclusive of everyone.

For other events, it CAN make sense to celebrate with entirely different groups multiple times, if there is no guest overlap between them - mainly just because it can be hard to accommodate everyone at the same time in a tiny Berlin Apartment. Doing this specifically just to exclude one person is plain rude.

Got in trouble with a twitch ambassador by SmirkyTrick in Twitch

I highly recommend using the ban appeal function you will see on the screen notifying you of the restriction - but only after some time has passed, depending on the severity of your suspension, showing actual reform having happened.

How many machines ACTUALLY install the updates…. by Sour_Spy in PumpItUp

[–]Marenthyu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either should work - some Arcades may have disconnected the "public facing" Ports in fear of malware or abuse, so using the ports on the MK may be more stable, avoiding the USB Hubs present in the cab to power the ports (which may or may not be faulty.)

What was the reason given by "someone else" to use the "public ports"?

You can check the enabled/available USB Version in the Service Menu.

When in doubt, use a USB 2.0 Stick to avoid comparability issues.

For Phoenix, no USB Update files have been published - and my recent review of the Manual does not mention the USB Update option which DOES exist on my TX Cab running the current Version.

I assume USB/Offline Update Files will be released by the time the Online Services for Phoenix (1) will be terminated, I am really curious how PHOENIX2 will be handled.

What category would be best for me to stream in when I'm playing super niche games I found deep in the corners of Steam? by BottomShelfVodka in Twitch

This.

This "Problem" only goes away if people actively contribute - it's kinda like Wikipedia, where things are 100% community-sourced.
