I love that pirate groups still use ascii text art in their release notes. It’s like a little piece of the world that hasn’t changed in 30 years.
I need to find out how to make these. Mostly just cause I like it.
On Linux, you'll want to install figlet and toilet (both available in the debian repos)
Alternatively you've got this online frontend
If you really want to get weird with it you can also play any video in ascii art through libcaca and mplayer. Looks like this
I use
Arch btwEndeavour OS so don't have Debian repos but I will definitely check them out. I especially like the fancy dark mode.I just checked and figlet at least appears to be in the arch repositories as well
Thanks, I will check it out tomorrow. I uave used pyfiglet in the past tbf so I figured it woukd be available either via the official repos or the AUR.
And still include cheesy mp3s playing too loud in retro-futuristic-looking installers
Somehow I expect hackers to do cooler stuff these days. I want hackers to release a Switch version of the game.
It can barely run on a gtx1070 man what kind of black magic do you expect a hacker to cast to make it run on a Switch
I really like the chip tunes, but I think they are not creating them anymore in the authentic way
I would think that it's cheap availability on GamePass and likelihood of frequent updates would make for a muted response to this one.
Plus I don't think it was protected to start with for modding purposes. People will be flying around in Thomas the Tank Engine by the end of next week.
For these reasons, I'd rather buy Bethesda games. As a company, they aren't assholes. I'd hate for them to get bought out by ea or something like all the rest.
You forgot Fallout76 and their own shitty launcher, well and the fact that Microsoft bought them already...
And horse armour.
And all their attempts at turning modding into a walled garden they could control and profit from.
At least they don't tread modders like Rockstar, well at least not yet I guess.
Yes, that would be terrible for them to be bought by somebody like MS.
While you're absolutely right to point out they have already been bought by Microsoft. I think we can all admit MS has had an unbelievably better track record with acquiring studios than EA.
My only beef with them is their complete disregard for QA but, in the end, they're right.
We'll do it for them.
Well, and watering down the social commentary in their Fallouts to an absurd degree.
Can't wait for Fallout 5 to say "AKSHUALLY, it was all China's fault and capitalism is based and Vault Tec was justified. Join the Brotherhood or die, trash."
Triangle For Enthusiastic Yes Square For Nod Silently
As a company, they aren't assholes
It's just locker room sexual assault
I would think that it's cheap availability on GamePass and likelihood of frequent updates would make for a muted response to this one.
The performance is absolute crap I think everyone should pirate it just to send a message. Like holy crap it's awful.
I found an optimized ini file on nexusmods that has the game running real well and still looking pretty good. Good lord though yeah the performance is awful.
Exactly; this just needed an emulator like goldberg
Bethesda games usually don't go for heavy DRM stuff (beyond the basic steam DRM), because it impairs modding (especially injection / nonofficial modding, stuff like SKSE for skyrim)
I have to applaud Bethesda for this decision, it is something that is very nice for the end user.
It really is a big move, since it likely cost them millions in early sales.
I probably would have bought it already if I couldn't find a crack, but now I can pirate and wait for a nice sale.
I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Tbh what you're doing is exactly what I did too with Skyrim. Downloaded a crack played for probably 1k hours and then bought it just to play 1k more
It was developed by ID I believe, bethesda only published the game.
It had denuvo but the game shipped with a denuvo-less exe so it was "cracked" day 1 lol.
Mighta been the 2016 doom but regardless it was funny lol
They don't even replace the DLL file for you! After you run the RUNE installer, you have to copy the emulator yourself
You can just click the checkbox for "Copy crack to install directory" to get the installer to do everything for you.
I'm not sure why that isn't the default.
To be fair it's the exact same bypass as any other Steam game. Any steam emulator would work.
Lol it was this "https://lemmy.zip/comment/2283511" /\ Did starfield not have denuvo drm. I thought most Bethesda games did. ", I tried to delete it but obviously not lol.
Eagerly waiting for the videos of every Starfield's fade-to-black screen transitioning back into Skyrim's opening
Hol-eee shit. My GTX 1070 doesn't meet minimum requirements...and it just won't boot? Oh wow.
It runs like absolute crap. I have a 2070 with i9-12900k and 64gb ram and get 30fps on the LOWEST settings. That's it.
I run Elden Ring at 120fps and just got done with Armored Core that ran at 144fps rock solid medium settings all the way through without a single blip.
The performance is unbelievably atrocious.
I was legitimately impressed at how well AC6 runs on my machine. FromSoftware's come a long way from the original PC release of dark souls 1
Yeah it runs rock solid. I get the impression FS must have good employee retention and have very good methods for building employee skills, so over time they've only improved. On top of hiring and acquiring some of the best staff that must have existed in other Japanese studios. No idea how they actually treat the employees, could be like shit because it's Japanese work culture, but something about them is producing content that is consistently a cut above everything. They're getting up there like Rockstar in terms of quality but based in Japan instead of the UK.
Gamers nexus had gtx 1070 in their starfield performance review, so it can work on a 1070. 30fps on low settings I think though.
If you've got windows 10 try updating to 22h2 (no, really; a consequence of Bethesda being acquired by Microsoft, I suspect), and update your GPU drivers.
That got it running on my 980ti, so it should also work with the 1070.
Or it's a consequence of the fact that all earlier windows 10 (non enterprise) versions are end of service.
I highly doubt it's done intentionally. 21H2 probably misses a feature or they just didn't care about 21H2 because why should they.
Yeah, I think it's probably having to do with how Wine/Lutris emulates the Windows version, that makes it think it's an older version. I'll try on a real Windows partition...
Did u try adding it as a non-steam game directly on Steam and not using Lutris? I've tried both on my EndeavourOS PC and find that for whatever reason, it runs much better via Steam vs Lutris.
Been trying to run it on an rx480 and it hiccups and crashes so much lol
The four day head start thing being bullshit was a good point. But yeah, I'm not likely to pirate an executable any time soon.
Time and money consuming, new hard drive, install windows, install the exe and check if that wasn't a malware, or a VM, GPU pass trough, install win and starfield
Yeah, this is probably the way I'd go about it. Dedicated hard drive, separate/no network access, no access to other files. Who cares if it is malware if it can't get to anything.
Did starfield not have denuvo drm. I thought most Bethesda games did.
Bethesda Game Studios games don't have DRM like Denuvo. BGS and Bethesda Softworks are two different entities. ID, MachineGames and other Zenimax studios tend to have DRM, not BGS.
On the other hand, didn't Denuvo come out after Fallout 4 launched? So what would they even protect, 76?
No, Denuvo was first used in Sept. 2014 and Fallout 4 came out Nov. 2015.
“Didn't Denuvo come out after Fallout 4 launched?”
“No, it came out a bit more than a year earlier.”
And even it's cracked from I won't be able to play it thanks to my old as system and my lack of will to purchase a new one untill it dies.
Rune is. A lot of people don't like IGG, but I've never had a problem with it. You gotta be good at dealing with ads and such though.
Im not pre-ordering piracy either.
Im waiting for the reviews.
The review embargo was lifted with the start of the early access, meaning that all the regular review channels that received review copies have already posted their content.
Go watch people actually play it in twitch or steam or YouTube. See if you like it. Why wait for someone else's opinion?
And also, the "early access" is just a way to get people to pay more for the game in the first week.
By all reasonable standards, the game has been fully released.
"Pre-ordering piracy"... What does that even mean?
