I wonder how this will work with local accounts

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah I mention that a few times in my post. I have been trying to figure out why it runs on one but not the other. Where are the differences?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It depends what you are after.

Even though Google has a long history of killing their products I doubt they'd do it to Google Drive anytime soon. You could upload it there and make it publicly available. Proton Drive is newer and preferred by a lot of people for numerous reasons. It has a 5GB limit. You could probably use that.

I feel like the key is having at least one other place where it is in the event one service dies.

That said there are paid services out there that would likely keep your files indefinitely and are unlikely to shutdown anytime soon.

There's also other non canon and cancelled Fallout projects like Fallout Extreme and Fallout Tactics 2. They are neat for fan project world building.

For anyone interested in Van Buren there's a huge rabbit hole you can go down. The demo is available, there's several fan projects made to recreate elements of it (more than the one the article mentions), and Retcon Raider has some pretty good videos covering the design documents.

Glad I'm not alone on this. If I do find a solution I'll make sure to tag you in it.

It would be nice if troubleshooting this was more standardized. Most people just seem to jump to a new firmware or give up all together.

I was referring to drives like the Seagate 16TB HDD Exos X16. That said there are MDD drives that are apparently cheaper but I haven't heard of them before.

Kind of reminds me of how I played The Long Dark. I turned all of hazards to minimal and treated it like a walking simulator/exploration game

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe Paralives. I feel like it's further out from completion than Tiny Life though and is going to require more time to become a polished product.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I mean you aren't too far off. Honestly I wouldn't mind it. I would rather have a feature rich simpler looking game than something that's fancy and shallow.

I'd be more than impressed by something just basically recreates the original Sims experience.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

That's a shame. I do feel like Life By You is the Sims-style game I've heard the least about though

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (5 children)

That's kind of like Tiny Life. It is similar to the Sims but with retro graphics. Lots of people bought it as soon as it hit early access when a lot of core things were missing.

The project has been in the works for a while. About a year ago it seems several YouTube videos were released covering it. Here is one by T0nik. I was pleasantly surprised to see it is being worked on.


If you are interested in this kind of thing you might also be interested in Project Arroyo. It's a remake of Fallout 2 in Fallout 4's engine. There's also the older project The Chosen's Way, it is also trying to remake Fallout 2, but in Fallout New Vegas' engine. As far as I can tell that one has been abandoned for years now.

Pretty much every Fallout game (and Van Buren) has some kind of remake or port project if you want to go really down the rabbit hole but a lot of them lose momentum after a while.

 

The video I linked to this post is titled How I Hacked Pokémon Emerald to make Pokémon walk with you. It's quite interesting if you are into ROM hacking and it's one of the things that made me think of this.

I just started getting back into Pokemon after playing a bit of Yellow and Crystal when I was a kid and I am wondering what are some Pokemon ROM hacks that add QoL features? Maybe some that improve the overall flow of game play or add little things to make the game more fun?

I mentioned staying vanilla because I am not looking for fake Pokemon or something radically different like Pokemon Snakewood for example. Back ported Pokémon would be neat though.

I saw some lists online but some were dated or didn't focus on what I am looking for.

 

The link attached to this post contains all Cacoaward winners from 2004 to 2020. I have seen a few others on Archive.org such as this one but they seem more focused on backing up everything.

I am wondering if there is a collection of total conversion mods like Total Chaos, Trench Foot, and Ashes 2063 for example.

I imagine there are a lot of best Doom WAD lists out there but it would be nice to not have to go through the effort of downloading them individually.

It had a few niche communities I would occasionally post to after the Reddit exodus but a couple months later I would post there and get no responses or votes. Going to lemmy.film now gives me an error message. Did they decide to shut it down or combine with another instance similar to FMHY? I am curious if they gave some kind of statement.

I am also curious what happened when I post into their communities now. It still gives me the option and I can see prior posts. How does that work with post federation?


Edit: Is there a good community for lemmy specific questions by the way? I know there are a few AskLemmy's but some say they are not for support and redirect to support communities but I am not sure if they are specific to that instance.

 

The movie that comes to mind for me is Matango. It's a 1963 Japanese horror film by Ishirô Honda (the director of the Godzilla movies) that IMDb describes as "Shipwrecked survivors slowly transform into mushrooms.".


I was curious what other PG horror movies people like. I find a lot of the time the limitations or target of an age rating can become noticeable and distracting.

 

Sad news tonight. Nintendo of America has requested for 717 games and their images to be removed from The Vault. Each download plus it's box art and screen shots are no longer available.

 

Fake Dentist perhaps? Something about getting cavities filled.

Fake McDonalds? Not sure.

 

TheFloW's PPPwn GitHub page can be found here but instructions are also posted in the Wololo article linked.

TheFloW has reported this to Sony as part of their bug bounty program and it has been patched in firmware versions beyond 11.

Here is a link to some neat homebrew applications you can try if you do decide to jailbreak your PS4.


Hope this post is fine here. There's nothing about discussing jailbreaks in the sidebar.

 

I am running EndeavorOS with XFCE 4 and am using Mullvad as my VPN. To be clear I know Mullvad's client has a lockdown and kill switch mode but it seems like after updating it my PC is connecting to the internet without it. I could be mistaken but I don't think it's blocking anything at that point. I would likely have to wait until the next Mullvad update to test this for sure though. If someone can either confirm or deny my suspicions I would greatly appreciate it because I wouldn't have to find another work around.

All that said if that is the case, how can I prevent my PC from connecting to the internet when Mullvad is not running?

Maybe there's a simple option like binding the network manager to mullvad client application? Ideally I'd like to avoid either not using their client and using some thrown-together update script like

#!/bin/bash

xfce4-terminal --command="sudo pacman -Syu";

/opt/Mullvad VPN/mullvad-vpn";


Edit: Maybe it is connecting after the update but not showing the GUI. I came across this post on GitHub

I have a Mullvad desktop app set to launch on start-up. Also "Start minimized" is set to false. At the system start-up I get connected to the VPN, so the Mullvad daemon apparently starts, but no application window launches. I have to launch it manually.

I did not check to see if this was happening after I updated.

 

For a long time my favorite was Excite Mario Bros.

Excitebike riders, Kirby, and Samus are trying to stop you at every turn from reaching the end of the levels! Here is a full game hack which changes all the levels and graphics. Also the music has been slightly altered to give the original music some change.

Recently though my favorite has become Celeste Mario's Zap & Dash!.

A hastily done minihack (with levels designed within 2 months) that features Celeste-styled gameplay.

It adds dash and wall jump mechanics. I haven't beaten it yet but I am really enjoying the level design.


What about you? Any favorites or recommendations?

 

The Weeping Angels apparently originated with Steven Moffat seeing a statue of a weeping angel in a structure in a cemetery and returning later to find out it was gone. At least according to this RadioTimes article. They first appeared in 2007 in the episode Blink.

I am wondering if this mechanic has been done before though?

It's become quite common in the indie horror scene.

In the 2007 video game Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis Watson would not move if in the player's view but would teleport behind the protagonist when given the opportunity. A video of it can be found here.

Considering this could be an easy place holder for developers or a way to get around programming walking animations all together I'm surprised no one took the idea and ran with it before then.

All that said it could have been used in books or movies. Maybe a twist on some other vision-centric myth like Medusa or Orpheus and Eurydice?
