Grabbed off usenet pretty much immediately for me

it's a little over twice that long though

It's in a really unfortunate state. FOSS wise, the only thing I can recommend is navidrome, BUT finding a good app for it is REALLY hard.

One step away from that would be plex pass, which is getting enshittified more and more and will likely never reverse course. But if you just want a good self hosted music player, plex pass is much better than navidrome, to the point where you have to be REALLY dedicated to decide on a navidrome solution over plex amp.

Then there's Roon, which is as far as you can get from a FOSS solution but is unfortunately the best solution to self hosting and streaming combined, and it has an awesome interface where you can read bios of the artists, select a composition of theirs, view any documented covers or interpretations of it, find out everyone who played on a particular song and what they played, then check out their entire range of output, and so on. There's unfortunately nothing close to Roon for that experience , but Roon still has MAJOR faults and bugs.

So you get nothing and you'll have to make do with that :\

BTW I'd be stoked to work on a project that aims to make a FOSS version of Roon. I just want to see those fuckers suffer the way I've suffered dealing with that horrible program

100% with your thoughts here and here and actually elucidated some of what I was trying to say. The player shouldn’t be corralled into one place but the quests they should for the most part explore that particular area unless the quest is of a journey type.

These are excellent examples and I definitely agree with them. I didn’t know that you could dragons in Skyrim. I never got that far

I've literally never seen a project remotely interesting that has their documentation on discord

Well that could be annoying if you’re trying to scroll past an open application but you end up vertically scrolling within the application instead.

Oh sweet, this seems like it would be very useful for syncing offline first notes applications.

…by design

Sigh… unzips

The Valheim implementation sounds clever!

Wow… yeah I can definitely see that. I skipped any enemy camps because your reward was usually a bunch of bananas and it felt repetitive as hell. That’s a really valid critique. I regardless think it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played, but now that you mention it, there’s definitely room for improvement

Yes! That’s really rad. I think this is similar to the Spiderman travel system where if it’s a joy to traverse the game world, even given the option to fast travel, traversal is more fun. And of course it’s fast enough that the time you do spend traversing isn’t a burden. Great example

Nice observation with regard to Zelda! I noticed it but I never put into words why I liked it. It is really nice that fast travel doesn’t just plop you down in the middle of the village.

I just couldn't with RDR2. I'm not /c/patientgamer-y enough for that. It's like a final fantasy game with the nonstop cutscenes, except you're on a horse

oh yeah, that's a great point as well. Spiderman for example. I only ended up fast traveling right near the end when they start piling on the side quests. Up until then I spent the whole time swinging across the city.

Also agree with the Zelda games. They're so huge in scope that fast traveling becomes pretty much a necessity. That's something I was trying to elucidate but didn't really do a good job of. You can have this great huge game world, but if it's a chore to cross it, what's it worth? Ideally the story and missions would be what move you to travel across the game world, creating an engaging reason to not just open up the menu and fast travel as close as you can to the next objective.

Wow. Very impressive. I'm surprised that this is going toe to toe with games like spiderman 2 and super mario bros wonder. Maybe this is scored based on the fact that it's a fighting game, like it's a 9/10 in terms of fighting gmes

This is awesome. I beat few just by saying

Damn, gandalf the white is hard. I got it by asking it to

lmao these are really not that difficult to hack

I don’t personally get anything from this threads. It’s kinda self congratulatory. I guess I understand being excited about it though

I researched this stuff a LOT. I originally only knew about anonaddy but it's a pain to set up self hosted. There's a lot of options but I really like the proton setup: proton pass + proton mail. Lets you respond to emails from the fake email created very easily.

My flow is like this: some website asks for my email, proton pass extension suggests a fake email using domain.hash@passinbox.com for example: shoppingwebsite.1c8sn@passinbox.com

I think it's the best of all worlds and it's why I switched from bitwarden as the flow is way faster and easier to use. And it's a cinch to respond to emails from proton mail.
