overview for Auster

Create Games for Dreamcast & PS1 with Retro Game Designer | Kickstarter by Auster in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago

Agreed with Magician and RmDebArc, and besides that, it could also be for the challenge, for the enjoyment, or because the vision of the dev only works in such a platform. And with emulators that allow commercial use around, the developer can also publish his games to modern platforms without having to rebuild the whole game.

Side note: The game is in Korean only, despite the English name.

Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead by Auster in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

If an Android program¹ is available elsewhere DRM free, open source, FOSS, etc., go for that instead, even before confirming the presence of this new DRM / social engineering tool in the given program. And if the program itself is not available, look for alternatives. And to make researches a little easier, some APK resources from the top of my head besides F-Droid and Github are Humble Bundle, Itchio, Patreon and potentially any Github alternative.

¹ "app" should never have replaced the name already adopted for no good reason

Imagino que tenham que respeitar o nome da empresa, serviço, etc. ao momento da reportagem, pelo comportamento que observo inclusive quando se mencionam outras empresas.

About the crossposting, maybe it's a bug in the Lemmy software or the specific instance in which it was posted, so I'll first ask in the meta community for fedia.io.

About manuals, reminds me I should pick the manuals of FFVI to read at some point. Sabin's first ability always got me confused, since it requires diagonal movements on a d-pad.

(Titles aren't supposed to hold half of the full text body, afaik...)

About your idea, some official materials, like game manuals, can be a good source of immersion too. Up to around mid-2000's, I can remember them being pretty good, and even some sites and publishers that distribute such older games include such materials too.

What's this? Free games? by Auster in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

A few more (SFW) I forgot:

https://www.gog.com/#giveaway (when a giveaway is present, it just scrolls you to that part of the front page)
https://gaming.amazon.com/games (a cleaner redirect to https://gaming.amazon.com/home?filter=Game)
https://www.zoom-platform.com/search/ (filtering in the site is still lacking, so my solution is a set of Ublock Origin filters)
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/browse?sortBy=currentPrice&sortDir=ASC&category=Game&count=40 (sorting by lowest price first - UbO helps here too)
https://www.gog.com/en/games?priceRange=0,0&hideOwned=true (showing only the freebies, permanent or otherwise, from the whole catalogue, and filtering out what the user already has)
https://randombundlegame.com/ (not directly useful, but maybe people can use it to keep an eye whenever another massive bundle pops up)

Of the NSFW ones, first the DLsite ones (so many because the store is split in multiple sections, and so much noise in the links because filters are hardcoded into them):

spoiler

Other NSFW sources, all sorted by price so if any freebie pops up, it's easier to spot:

https://denpasoft.com/product-category/all-products/?orderby=price (they don't mark products as owned in the catalogue, so once more, UbO may help)

I have a few more resources noted down, if you'd be interested for the list:

https://www.indiegala.com/showcase
https://www.amusement-center.com/project/egg/game/?mode=search&sssort=desc (service itself is paid so kinda like Prime in "free with a fee")
https://freebies.indiegala.com/
https://steamdb.info/freepackages/
https://www.app-sales.net/
https://steamdb.info/sales/?min_reviews=0&min_rating=0&min_discount=95&sort=discount_desc
https://itchclaim.tmbpeter.com/
https://shaigrorb.github.io/freetchio/
https://isthereanydeal.com/giveaways/

Should I list the NSFW resources too?

[GOG] Breach & Clear to be delisted (lemm.ee)

From its announcement post:

Hey everyone! An unfortunate news:

Breach & Clear (https://www.gog.com/game/breach_and_clear) will be removed from the store on September 13th, 2024, at 3 PM UTC.

We'll, of course, do our best to bring the game back.

Should I buy fallout 4 goty from GOG? by Auster in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

As much as GOG/CD Projekt have more than their fair share of problems, usually their versions of games work, can be preserved, don't require as much bloat, launchers included, and usually don't require 3rd party validation. And like others said, besides Wine and related, and installing through Steam as external games, you can also install stuff very easily through Heroic and the sort. So I'd say it's the better option indeed.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

Afaik most such Reddit alternatives support RSS feeds, so a RSS reader could be an option.

If I understand correctly, you're struggling with isolation? If so, and if you have the time and resources for it, maybe finding a hobby, sports club, etc. in your area could help?

Meta: title format? (lemm.ee)

submitted 6 days ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

5 comments fedilink

Rules say that the title format is to be followed, but there are no indications of what it is, at least not here on the fediverse.
If this is a sister community of the subreddit with the same name, perhaps the rules were copied over from there but without adapting to how things are over here?

Without using external scripts, is there a way to hide posts that link to specific domains? For example, if I want to hide all posts where the OP put google.com links in the URL field when creating the post.

[GOG] [upcoming delisting] The Suffering and The Suffering: Ties That Bind (lemm.ee)

submitted 2 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

0 comments fedilink

From the official announcement post:

Hey everyone! As much as I hate posting such information, we have an upcoming delisting.

Per the publisher's request both The Suffering (https://www.gog.com/game/the_suffering) and The Suffering: Ties That Bind (https://www.gog.com/game/the_suffering_ties_that_bind) will leave our store on September 1st (no exact hour yet).

Grab the game before that if you're interested. And as always, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
