Back when internet cafes were popular; this game right here was the cool shooter game being played.

A cafe near me would host monthly tournaments and would pay 3 times the hourly cost to the top three with nuke button banned. We weren't really skilled in the game compared to the pro players; but we had our own weapons we were good at. I was good with SMG grenades and electric gun but never managed to hit top three; but all the matches were good times anyways.

There was a really good player that used arrow keys to look around instead of a mouse, and was insanely good with the railgun. Would somehow always end up at either first or second place. Wonder what's he up to nowadays.

Only reasonable purchase for anti virus are for companies where all it could take is one weak link for a hacker to cause all sorts of trouble. Common sense is best AV.

CaptainBasculin ,

Since the licensing of GBA4iOS was GPLv2 they could've posted the source code with their edits and call it a day; but i guess they didnt even do that.

CaptainBasculin ,

Welp, whichever sites loses this case it's still a win for me. Fuck elon musk and fuck the music corps.

CaptainBasculin ,

I'm betting half of those are the typical piratesite103.com domains; which after domain seizure moves to piratesite104.com within minutes.

Tetr.io is by far the best implementation of this game currently.

kemono works by people buying the subscription to share the content they can see some patreon pages. If it's just image files; it's always obtainable this way. Just wait for someone to upload them there, or be the hero and do it yourself.

If it's a program that runs on your computer, it's possible but you'll need some decompilation knowledge. Typically you'll need to see which variables change when your authentication is successful and adjust them accordingly.

If it's a program that works fully server-side, there isn't much possible way unless an XSS of some sort is possible on the site; which in that case the site owner has bigger problems than some rando trying to pirate their program.

CaptainBasculin ,

The problem is, this never needed to grow to the point where some people call it that. Some people not wanting to buy games a group of people worked on doesn't make it a hate campaign; but calling them out in an attempt to shut them down eventually did turn it into one, a one with way more people's support at that.

Their Steam curator page used to have around 2000 followers until all those articles calling them out were published, and literally no one gives shits about curators in the first place. Now? They have 250k, and some people started giving shit about it.

CaptainBasculin ,

Would that put any restrictions to use Unreal Engine in App Store, since it includes code from a banned developer?

I hope not, cause it would be a really dumb move.

CaptainBasculin ,

Interlinked Jellyfin Instances that you can access if you're hosting a server, similar to fediverse. Gather all interlinked libraries in a single frontend for the user so they can have a massive library available for them for all sorts of media.

CaptainBasculin ,

If there is high demand for certain titles, duplicates could help avoiding overloading a single server; but making sure we dont end up with more copies than the demand is definitely important.

How do I patch an android game I paid for, but now doesn't work because the devs shut a server off?

I paid for Puzzle Quest 2 on android like a decade+ ago. It is a local single-player game. It has a validation check when you open the app. That check fails because this game is ancient and the servers are offline....

CaptainBasculin ,

Try lucky patcher to remove licence verification. It's a very hit&miss tool; but when it works it does well.

CaptainBasculin ,

Its official site is https://www.luckypatchers.com/

CaptainBasculin ,

The application from all versions link to there, that's how I know it's legit. Check info section of wherever you find the application from.

But the site looks really sketchy I agree with you on that. Unbrowsable without adblock

CaptainBasculin ,

It's reachable by me.

Strailing could work well. A combination of streaming and sailing, as in sailing the high seas.

Is it possible to get a virtual credit card for a different country?

I wanted to get my mom YouTube Premium for her birthday but don't want to pay the ridiculous annual price for my country (especially since she mostly just watches YouTube shorts). She uses an iPhone so trying to get adblocker would be too much of a hassle, especially if it stops working. She won't be able to figure out how to...

CaptainBasculin ,

Another alternative could be Google Play gift cards from cheaper countries. You can buy Youtube Premium through it. Look up their currencies and search gift cards with that currency.

CaptainBasculin ,

If you're not doing stuff with them; not much point.

Since these devices have ARM processors, they can be embedded to places that doesn't need high power and contain smaller volume; unlike PCs. You can host your a Jellyfin server on one, host a pi-hole so that you filter out every internet traffic from ads on another. Maybe a small FTP server that you can use as cloud storage?

CaptainBasculin ,

Similar to what happened to Netflix, competing services will harm this process. Currently the most comparable to old Netflix is the Xbox Game Pass; which if companies like EA and Ubisoft pulled their games from; it would be way less prefered.

As the profits that come to these companies decrease, they'll be more tempted to focus more on their own subsctiption platforms. Game industry has this trick up its sleeve that some games can be played 1000s of hours, but even adding games of this nature; satisfying every player with a single subscription service is impossible.

CaptainBasculin ,

Look up compression methods, work out which would work best for your needs. Maybe re-encode your video files with H.265 which offers lower filesize for similar quality, or decrease the frame rate of the video files.

CaptainBasculin ,

Which site is this? If the site was big enough, most people should be able to pinpoint it.

CaptainBasculin ,

I don't know if uTorrent does ratelimit torrents someway (they shouldn't be by theory), but it being adware is enough of a result to switch to another torrent client.

I'm more of a fan of Deluge, but alternatives like qBittorrent / Transmission are solid choices.

CaptainBasculin ,

Can the comments please stop finding a reason to pirate? Not everyone needs reasoning to pirate.

CaptainBasculin ,

Each of these sites Tachiyomi uses are compliant with DMCA. Not taking it down on them and instead crippling Tachiyomi is literally the worst action to do.

CaptainBasculin ,

tetr.io could be good

(dont enable manual targeting or you'll ruin friendships)

GTA V source code has been leaked. ( lemmy.dbzer0.com )

The full GTA V source code has been leaked The leak contains GTA V source code and stuff from Bully 2 and GTA VI Leaked in a discord server by a random British guy in the 360 modding community known to get sued by Rockstar multiple times...

CaptainBasculin ,

The source filesize 4.3GB seems really odd for a >100GB game. Why is it like that?

CaptainBasculin ,

I’m looking for full assets; can anyone give a magnet?

Pirated video games SOURCE CODE

So there are multiple sites&groups that pirate video games especially on PC. I was wondering if there are places on the internet where you find source code for games especially the highly modifiable ones like Half Life 2/Portal and Skyrim. Or groups that crack into the source code of games (or even software in general), not only...

CaptainBasculin ,

Doom was open sourced later. An example of a game that got reverse engineered just fine is Super Mario 64

CaptainBasculin ,

Math knowledge is not essential; but really useful in programming as you’re trying to make the computer do calculations of some sort.

Someone could definitely be too dumb to code though.

Download and Install Oracle VM VirtualBox from here

…virtualbox.org/…/VirtualBox-7.0.12-159484-Win.ex…

Follow the steps here to create a Windows 98 Virtual Machine

i12bretro.github.io/tutorials/0070.html

After that (assuming you have a CD/DVD Drive), you’ll need to do VirtualBox’s Machine > Settings > Storage > Enable Passthrough for the DVD drive; them just plug in the game disk.

What's the purpose of multiple quality profiles existing in parallel in Radarr/Sonarr?

Well hello there, I’m diving into the *arr suite of things currently and am trying to setup everything to my usecase. I think I mostly already understood, how a single quality profile works within itself, like upgrading quality and so on. But what I didn’t get yet, why would I want multiple different quality profiles to...

CaptainBasculin ,

Allows you to set which quality you want on each show you want specifically. Maybe you’re looking for an old show in its original quality and not some improperly upscaled version.

CaptainBasculin ,

Virtual data on the internet that currently we take granted for could cease to exist later on, so collecting these data is not worthless at all. There exists many lost media even in the age of internet.

With that said, collectibles that only takes a server to mark “you have it” truly are worthless.

What's the deal with the private trackers?

I’ve read on reddit I think that if you are torrenting using a private tracker you’re gonna be fine even without VPN. The question is: isn’t the tracker is just a server that leads my torrent client to the pieces of the file on the seeders? And the connection between me and the seeders is p2p, isn’t that type of...

CaptainBasculin ,

Private Trackers are solid options if you’re looking for some data in a specific niche that public trackers don’t offer quite well. Their signups are controlled by admins which makes harder for media companies to go in and send cease letters to torrenters. This does not mean they can’t however.

On a public tracker, anyone can be part of the seeding chain without any authentication; meaning they can monitor who’s torrenting what pretty easily. However for each private tracker, there has to be a seperate infiltration. Combining limited signups and being invite only makes hunting for them difficult.

To find them, you’re gonna either look at tracker forums’ open signup threads as a beginner; or if you know people that could have access to these trackers ask them for invite. Most private trackers have strict seeding rules, so seed them according to their rules.

CaptainBasculin ,

Private trackers are also quite easy to delete accounts in anyways

Steam Deck Owners: What’s been your favorite game that you first discovered on Steam Deck and now you can’t seem to put down?

Looking for those games that you may have heard about but never tried until you got a Deck. Or old games on systems you never had that you’re trying for the first time. Or new AAA games that just released in the last year or two that you picked up for the first time specifically to play on Steam Deck and have kept you glued to...

CaptainBasculin ,

This game is already addicting enough for me on PC, can’t imagine the addiction in a portable console.

CaptainBasculin ,

There are multiple options.

  1. Find a private tracker that focuses on content in your own language. This is the option you should go for if you’re looking for more dubs.
  2. Fetch subtitles externally. Sites like opensubtitles can provide subtitles for your files.
  3. Use tags. Scene naming format typically includes the language the file is in. (en stands for English, ru stands for russian etc.);
CaptainBasculin ,

There is a crack team called MKDEV that targets Football Manager series which uses a slightly weaker version of Denuvo. They didn’t crack the 2024 series so far, but chances are they will sometime soon.

CaptainBasculin ,

If you earn/get big enough to care about it, then you would in the first place. Most software piracy busting methods revolves around existence of a snitch who knows you’re pirating. You definitely can get away with it if you’re just pirating it yourself, but a corporation with like 100 workers cannot do it when all it takes is one person to get busted.

On sound effects / samples it depends on how many people see it, so you don’t need to worry too much unless you get popular similarly.

Where to get Minecraft for Arch Linux from?

Arrrr my fellow pirates. Since I’m very unexperienced with the seas I ask for you guys, where can I get Minecraft from for Arch Linux. It’s not because I’m not willing to pay 20€ but because Microsoft is a giant bitch and I’m not willing to put money in their mouth(especially after they changed their privacy policy).

CaptainBasculin ,

I use it because I don’t want to break something while switching it to a different client; and it still gets updates.

CaptainBasculin ,

This is over a developer accessing GitHub? WHAT THE FUCK?

CaptainBasculin ,

My personal use computers are named after characters from the manga Tearmoon Empire Story, MiaLuna (storage server) - Anne (home desktop) - Ludwig (laptop).

My phones were named after JJBA characters (Jonathan Joestar - Joseph Joestar - Speedwagon)

Small form factor computers for automation are typically named after their purpose, without anything creative (PiMirrorDNS, PineKodi, PiPocket)

CaptainBasculin ,

Most of the old scene thought of cracking DRM in games as a challange within themselves, and did it for the competition. Skidrow’s thoughts align with this mindset. You can’t blame skidrow for that.

CaptainBasculin ,

What is the advantages this provides over a Yubikey?

Windows+Mint Dual Boot: Food boot record after replacing the disk that had the boot record?

I had multiple disks in my PC, one with Windows and one with Linux. The drive with Linux had the boot record I guess; I removed and replaced that one with a new disk and again installed Linux on it (so the Windows disk has been the same the while time), but I can no longer log into Windows while this new disk is installed and...

CaptainBasculin ,

While both disks are installed, boot prioritise the disk with Linux from BIOS Settings. After it boots to Linux, you can fix GRUB (the default bootloader that comes with Linux) with mounting the partition that has Windows (If you can see the files from Windows in your file manager, it’s mounted.) and running sudo os-prober, and sudo update-grub

After fixing the bootloader, you can reboot to see both operating systems on GRUB menu.

If you think that GRUB looks lame, feel free to install another bootloader later.

[Rant] I swear to fucking god. Windows is harder to use than Linux. Have any of you ever USED Windows lately? Holy fuck.

I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones....

CaptainBasculin ,

I would reccommend you to not install W11, but install W10 instead. It’s more stable with all sorts of hardware.

Also this could indicate an issue with the drive you’re going to install the OS on. Could you run some checks on the disk itself for failed sectors?
