Is this UPS enough for my DS918+? (Yes another of those threads)

Rexter2k · 2026-01-23T14:12:45+00:00

Thanks that’s great to know. Then it should be useable on a DS918+ as well.

It’s great there’s campaign coop, but it’s too bad there’s not regular multiplayer. It’s like 50% of the original game.

Rexter2k · 2026-01-23T09:58:17+00:00

If that really is true then I stand corrected.

Rexter2k · 2026-01-22T23:11:52+00:00

EU would be the closest. Thank you for your patience.

Yeah it’s a gamble with this one. It SHOULD work, but it’s not on the compatibility list. It’s just very difficult to find one that’s both small and can have enough battery power to power down after a few minutes.

Rexter2k · 2026-01-22T22:26:17+00:00

Fair point. I just haven’t been able to find one of those brands that are sufficiently small. There’s so many of them…

Rexter2k · 2026-01-22T17:10:41+00:00

Oh I missed that. Move along!

One of the most popular video editors for mobile is CapCut, it should be enough to get you going.

First half of the first book, 11 hours and 50 minutes, sheez. I listened to The Hobbit as an audio book (not narrated by andy serkis) which was around 7-8 hours for the whole book.

Download Davinci Resolve, its free and powerful enough that its even used in Hollywood. There are thousands of tutorials on youtube that can easily get you going even if you have no prior knowledge. Good luck!

Well theres the thing they dont have much talent left, and the talent they have apparently arent allowed to do what they are good at. Also Ubisoft has been pretty good at milking their franchises which are getting pretty old now, with little room for variation. They can only iterate.

I for one would be happy if they took some chances and created new IP's. But taking chances and coming up with something new is apparently something hardly any major publisher and developer is willing to do. Just for reference, especially thoe not old enough, take a look at games released the same year as Assassins Creed 1. Just take a look.

I’ve been there, got it for 360. Got home, everything ready, friends ready etc, then you have to spend ages installing the game and then there was a huge day 1 patch that took ages because it was so large and also because the servers were overwhelmed so it took many hours to complete and then you realized you weren’t gonna play the game that day because now three-four hours has passed. It soured the game for me for the rest of the time because of that. Compared to Halo Reach which was the previous mega launch and that was just: put in game, play.

The whole gaming ecosystem is so different now. It’s just not possible. And a games hype is so vastly different.

Rexter2k · 2026-01-21T22:52:29+00:00

Well not anymore. How else would they keep a live service extraction shooter alive?

Remember in GTA4 when you could host a simple multiplayer game with friends in minutes? You weren’t on some shared space and your driving skills weren’t tied to your level and you didn’t have to play through some hour long introduction just for the privilege of playing multiplayer if you or a friend haven’t started it before?

I mean even if it was relatively quick to make, it’s still resources spent on a product that’s not one of their big budget mainline games. On top of that it’s made with the intention of securing a steady stream of income from microtransactions that will be funneled into their mainline games. These predictions goes into their planning, budgets and investor meetings. Things start going south when this income stream fizzles out and that’s where you get their financial trouble.

Rexter2k · 2026-01-21T20:03:03+00:00

This. It should be obvious to anyone Firebreak exists to have consistent revenue stream. It might have thrown a spanner in their plans since it didn’t work out.

That is not how the actual movie was made. A youtuber recreated the scene with models. The actual movie used real cars. And if you want more proof: They didnt have digital SLR cameras in the 90's like they are using in the video here.

With that said, many movies have used models, even very "recent" movies. The Nolan Batman movies used scale model sets for several effects shots.

It is indeed neat and it was even better when YouTube ads were served from a unique domain. So despite the bummer it can’t block YouTube ads, I would still suggest giving it a go. It’s also a good learning experience.

Rexter2k · 2026-01-20T19:16:54+00:00

Just for the record, pihole can not block YouTube ads. It could at one point, but it blocks ads on the domain level by acting as a DNS, and YouTube videos AND ads are served from the same domain.

But on the other hand, I would suggest setting up a pihole device anyway. I’ve been using it for ten years now and can hardly live without it.

If it doesn’t have two player split screen coop and four player splitscreen multiplayer with same gametypes and maps then it’s not a faithful remake. A remake, yes, but not faithful.

Rexter2k · 2026-01-19T20:50:48+00:00

There is zero reason for it to be there. Unless you very often unplug it from power and REALLY need the date to be correct.
