Definitely 😄👍 It boots up and I’m good with that lol

Yeah very strange. And also the hashes on Vimm’s lair can’t even be copied correctly. The little box is too narrow for its content and the overflow is set to ellipsis, so it’s truncated and you can’t copy it unless you go into the HTML with the web tools. 😆 Not the best user experience.

The hash is on the Dusk GitHub download page!

Weird, those hashes are different from the ones on Vimm’s lair. But none of them match the actual download lol…

I downloaded the rvz iso from Vimm’s lair, but I couldn’t get the hash to verify either. I don’t know which file to check against. Neither the zip nor extracted content (rvz file) matched the hash checksums. The file name is also different in the download page, than the one you’re getting on your disk. So I’m thinking maybe you need to recreate the iso and then chan against that?

Either way, it worked 🥲 Not sure how to verify, it what to verify, at this point.

Phew!

Anyway, thanks for all the help! I was playing some Twilight Princess today and it was a good hit of nostalgia!

Although I had to turn down the resolution to just 2x, otherwise it was too crisp and the nostalgia didn’t activate. 😅

I loved TP, also my first Zelda game. I also loved BotW. What freedom to explore and roam and discover! ✨🙌

Are you running that command and getting the correct hash on any download? Test it with some other known, safe download as a control test. 😁 Ubuntu iso or something.

Or just generate a new hash with a short string, like “Hello, world!”.

Played this all the way through back when it released, as a teenager. So formative. It was my first Zelda game.

❤️🫸🫷✨

Teach me these Vimm and archive ways?

I can just download the .iso and it’ll work with this project, I take it?

Well the beautiful thing here now with the spirals is that you can linearly search for suitable shapes to mine. It’s great, and also makes sense in the context of space and the vortex. It’s such a good addition.

So I guess you somehow found home when you made those main lines. I just know you get where I’m going with this lol.

When you drag train tracks home, do you just hit H?

Wish I could, I don’t have a DVD reader at all. I don’t know anyone who has a PC with one in the last decade lol.

Dang. My private torrent tracker only had the Wii and Wii U versions. And I only have the Wii physical disc. Alright, thanks!

That anisotropic filtering on that wooden ledge though. What a beauty. Some blurring too to dampen the effect.

Spoiler!!

Will a Wii dump work with this? I find it difficult to decipher the exact requirements for making this work.

Yo did you notice the map is now shaped like a spiral instead of just white noise of shapes? I really like that. It also helps to find home much more easily. Really good call.

Yeah, demos are nice, but I mean maybe you liked the demo, bought the game, but still didn’t play the whole thing. Life could also happen. Or you found another better game that stole your attention.

Wow, that’s such a good model at first thought. Like, you pay for as much as you want to play of the story. If you like the whole game, you pay full price if you want to finish it. If you only played a little bit and got sick of it, you pay just a little bit.

I would probably buy a lot more games if they did this.

I played this on the N46 from 1996 and on. Finished it only as an adult and got the Easter egg on the outside of the castle. 😁

Looots of nostalgia from this!

I was about to say, Factorio is known for never being on sale, wow, what a day… A day… Huh. What day is it. Dangit.

The tldr says the timer resets to 5 minutes but the longer description says 15 minutes.

The joke is that joystick is a euphemism for penis.

“TipOfMyJoystickNSFW”?

I think that’s another discussion altogether. Making the decision possible at all is a fundamental win to start with. I’m for it. 👌

Haven’t even had time to install and play the first one damnit

Fair enough. But know that I’m not saying “it gets better after X hours”. I’m saying it continually gets better in a smooth progression. That’s what I liked about it.

But all to their own. You are entitled to stop playing after that short amount of time. 👍

Fully agree. I can’t imagine quitting at 16h. Adventure games must not be for them. 🤷‍♂️

The game isn’t going to flip on its head 30h in.

It’s just that the game has a narrative and game-mechanical progression which you are losing if you don’t follow through.

The 2h threshold for a refund doesn’t really suit every game of course, it’s a blanket threshold for the entire store. 🙂

But meh, you made up your mind, no point in trying to convince you to play it now. I’m just saying it’s a game that might grow on you even more than you realize. I looked it immediately, but even I was amazed at the beautiful scenery and great battles I was going to experience even further into the game. The expansions were awesome as well. Really good end game boss battles.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the games you have access to!

I’m fine with a bland story as long as the gameplay is solid. The gameplay is why I play. If I wanted only story I would watch a movie, I suppose.

But you say you played 16h of Horizon? You must not have finished it, or? I played it for 123 hours. Granted I finished it 100%, and did a loooot of gathering and exploring. But 16h feels low for completing all of the main story. I don’t know.

You’ll get better with practice!

Might get them! Thanks for the recommendation!

God of War bored me as well, but the Horizon games being SLOP?! I’m personally offended. They are carefully created masterpieces in my opinion.

The way they perfectly amp up the difficulty in proportion to your skill level. You can go anywhere in the world but it guides you perfectly to go where your skill fits. The fights are fun, you can choose to be stealthy or go all in Rambo style.

That first feeling of analyzing a new animal for the first time, planning your strategy ahead of the fight, what parts to attack etc. Then the feeling of jumping in and executing the fight with success. So satisfying.

I personally took on every single fight stealth wise because I love that style.

But anyway, what kind of games do you play that you think are good enough? Curious what your bar is set to.

Horizon games were killer though. Last Of Us were great, I hear.

these patches certainly wouldn’t be accepted for upstreaming to the AMDGPU driver given HDMI Forum’s rejection already and needing to clear AMD’s legal review. It may help apply pressure on the HDMI Forum to change course especially if Valve and other stakeholders get involved, but this has been an unfortunate issue going back years already. AMD Linux users are best off just using DisplayPort where possible.

Yes.

I use it ironically.

I assure you I was blowing into my NES and N64 cartridges like every other millennial.

I’m not depressed though. Doing very well. I’m not American, so maybe that helps my chances in life.

Well yeah, sponsorships. But all his videos are for the money. Only. And all the controversy around him doesn’t sit well with me. I watched his former employees say some pretty damning things. And showed some pretty damning footage.
