I just completed bully on the ps2 (emulated on pcsx2)! Had a lot of fun, planning on going for jak & daxter series next i think. I never owned the console myself, so there are many gems ive never tried, and many i only played at friends houses sporadically.
This thread is a gold mine for suggestions!
I love soulcalibur 2! I played it (and still play sometimes) on gamecube tho, but apart from a different special character (link from zelda in the gc version), its the same game. Tried soulcalibur 3 as well, but didnt really get into it - cant put my finger on why, but it was ages since i tried 3
Ive never used their software, but it exists for android, so maybe you can use it on linux with waydroid?
I have the original and it works both with 2.4ghz and bluetooth out of the box. Been a very good experience.
Maybe you want to communicate through an encrypted service?
Yes, they are switch emulators and were taken down by the developers following legal troubles with nintendo
Perfect, thank you!!!
i started out wanting to hate it but its still running on a loop after several minutes and i cant seem to get myself to close it, and now i am questioning so many things
As a norwegian who is back to pirating after a break of around 10-12 years, it is not primarily a cost issue. Hell with hardware investments it is costing me more tho that includes stuff for gaming (roms, i currently dont pirate pc games).
What it is is a service issue. Self curated collection of movies and shows beats the fragmented shit that is current streaming platforms not to mention the flood of utter garbage on tgese platforms you have to sift thru to find somethinf worth watching. Not to mention the privacy aspects and in general the “ownership” model (ie licensing without really knowing the terms).
Fuck that shit and im never getting fooled again.
Thats pretty cool, never heard of those kinds of tapes. Im at somewhere between 5-10 TB myself. The cheapest storage units ive seen is about $90/month here so that would be a bit expensive, but there might be some smaller ones for item storage that i dont know about.
ah rotating the drives can is a smart solution, that could be an option.
ah good to know. hopefully will not need the recovery but if i do i would like to avoid paying thousands, because then the idea of spending money to save time in case of emergency doesnt really work anymore
My impressions is that such fireproof safes are only fireproof for so long?
i have been planning on getting on though so could perhaps store the original local copy there for additional safety. depends on the space tho
At $12/terabyte/month it seems pretty expensive for media collection (I mean: family photos are irreplaceable but generic video?)
It is the value of my time i am concerned about not the files themselves. But i can see that there are cheaper options
Other options are to use “glacier” tier S3 which is cheap to rent but ultra expensive to recover (but hopefully you won’t need that)
Ill check that out :)
Or just put a pi+HDD hidden somewhere at work/parents and copy to that
This could be an option but a little cumbersome to keep updated perhaps?
perfect, thanks a lot!!!
Ok thanks i will look into B2 (is that just shorthand for backblaze or is it something in particular?)
I asked below here as well so no need to answer multiple times, but will restic encrypt when transferring or does it require that i can store the entire encrypted archive locally as well? or is that just borg?
thanks, thats very helpful!
One (maybe stupid) question - since restic encrypts, does it do this in transfer or would i need to have additional space on my local hard drives for the encrypted archive?
edit: got an answer to this above: does not require intermediate storage! :)
I wouldn’t
Is it rsync in general you wouldnt or rsync.net?
Never heard of restic so i will definitely need to check this out. I was not planning on having a solution that is continuously running but rather dumping everything there once and then sync new file maybe once a month or something.
It’s a shame it is impossible to find out :/
When watching some videos from retro game youtube channels, they tend to point to how much more daring they were back then, and all new games will just safe it. New aaa games cost so much they cant fail, but then a flop was to a larger extend “meh” and move on for the studio. Guess that made some of these games feel more freaky as you say
