Who is still trying to make NFTs happen in 2024?

If the series you’re trying to pull is region locked then youtube-dl would need the VPN to get around the region locking, at least that has been my experience.

I have used youtube-dl with proton VPN and it works fine, I often have to use a US location to access a lot of stuff that Tubi doesn’t offer in my country. You should be able to do the same.

Youtube-dl pulls from Tubi without issue in my experience.

Legend of a board, I still have mine in a cupboard.

Personally if there’s no technical reason for a game to be exclusive, then I just want that game to be freely available for people to buy on their platform of choice that has the features they want, or supports their values. Personally, I would prefer to see a GOG release over Steam, as I highly value that they allow me to actually download and own my game installers, they have done amazing work making older games playable and accessible on modern systems.

There’s no technical reason for Alan Wake 2 to be an Epic exclusive, it’s simply that Remedy got a financial incentive up front from Epic to release that way. This isn’t Epic trying to compete with other game platforms, but rather betting that by being the only platform to offer the game will be sufficient to attract players.

This has all played out before with other publishers pulling their games from Steam and releasing on their own platforms (Origin, uPlay etc), but both have vome.back as players will simply go and play something else rather than flock to another games.platfork.in which they have no investment. It’s something that even Sony has seen the light on and why we are now seeing historically console exclusive properties coming to PC like God of War and Last of Us.

Steam may be the biggest game in when it comes to games distribution, and monopolies are bad, but to advocate for Epic Games of all companies as an alternative is a weird position to take.

Apparently they’re not making enough profit on Epic to avoid taking a loan from Tencent.

Personally, I object to Epic using purchased exclusivity as a tool to gain market share, and refuse to capitulate to that approach when there’s so many other games to play. If they truly.want to compete with Steam then actually make their marketplace competitive with more social and community features that Steam offers.

Another thing that would help is not releasing one of your most anticipated and subsequently well received games in recent memory exclusively on Epic. Still waiting for Alan Wake 2 to release on Steam or Gog guys…

For me personally, Velious was the last expansion that still felt like “classic” EverQuest. Luclin introduced some pretty significant changes such as The Nexus and The Bazaar, that for me really impacted how the game world felt. If Quarm is just up to Kunark then it would definitely be worth playing there as well.

For that classic EverQuest experience come join Project 1999: https://www.project1999.com

Even without development skills, you can still contribute by helping develop and maintain good documentation for your favourite projects or helping with testing and bug reporting.

That was really good. It’s something I hadn’t given any thought to , but the fact that First Person Shooter didn’t exist as a term when Doom released, it was interesting seeing the progression. I remember as a kid referring to Heretic and Hexen as Doom-clones, but wasn’t really cognizant of the term as it fell out of use in favour of other descriptions.

Glad you enjoyed it, there’s some wild stories he has covered. Another favourite of a similar vein is the multipart episode on the early Xbox hacking scene: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/45/

ROCK. AND. STONE.

Anyone interested in diving deep into the rabbit hole on Team Xecuter and Gary, I highly recommend the Darknet Diaries episode in which Jack interviews Gary and goes through the history.

This was such a fun game, not too long, great music and the boss fights were such a cool style. Highly recommend everyone give it a go.

One of Summoning Salt’s best videos yet, the reveal midway through >!when Summoning Salt enters the leaderboard and proceeds to dominate the game was awesome. Well deserved he gets to tell his story.!<

Also, Hippo Manippo is such a great name.

I don’t think there’s magic one size fits all answer to this, it really sucks you have to deal with it. Avoid destructive behaviours like drinking until you pass out etc, they won’t help in the long term. Do you have any friends IRL you can call on?
