Do you use ratings and favorites?
  • memo memo Now 100%

    I see! What I'm trying to wrap my head around is the need for a playlist that I can just throw on the car or the home hifi when I have guests that will output a strong selection, meaning stuff I either very much like or absolutely love. My server has every CD I have in the house copied onto it; and while I am sure that nobody minds Bob Dylan, my dad's collection of over 30cd gets a little invasive after I hit random shuffle of all songs.

  • Hello! After discovering that navidrome implements smart playlists, I've been seriously thinking about using faves or ratings. What about you? Do you use ratings and faves, and if yes, for what reason? Do you use track or album ratings? I'm curious, since I'm sure one can get pretty creative with it.

    I've been using Tempo for my daily commute. Substreamer's UI makes a tad more sense and is more helpful in certain instances (eg. randomizing albums is a bit of a pain on tempo) but I prefer Tempo because it doesn't crash as much!

  • Which games do you dislike, but the rest of the world loves them?
  • memo memo Now 100%

    GTA games are the epitome of shallowness, for me. The story is always so vague and not interesting, you never get attached to characters. Gameplay is a boring loop, but its strength has always been being some sort of theme park. But it's 2024 and "hop onto a game just to go fast on car and shoot a couple of civilians"

    Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Like Pokémon, nintendo developers know fans will buy new games regardless of how much new content there is to it. There is no legitimate reason for the game to be so close mechanically to its Gamecube entry, and I find it an insult to long time fans.

  • Come da titolo, qual è il vostro metodo di studio preferito? Io continuo a saltare di palo in frasca, e capisco essere un metodo terribile: non mi creo un metodo costante, sono persistentemente indeciso. Ho fatto buona parte di tempo ad utilizzare strumenti digitali che permettessero di mettersi a studiare senza troppi fronzoli, come Obsidian e Logseq, in cui si scrive in markdown e non si deve litigare con l'impaginazione di ogni singolo elemento. In altri periodi ho sentito però il bisogno di prepararmi delle cose da stampare, perché mi sembra che avere la carta sotto mano aiuti un pochino. Ma nulla mi ha soddisfatto: convertire markdown in pdf con un'impaginazione personalizzata sembra un'impresa che non posso permettermi di compiere durante le sessioni, e i file di libreoffice sparsi di qua e di la rendono il tutto veramente macchinoso, sopratutto se si è abituati ad avere tutto in un "hub" principale come i metodi sopracitati.

    It makes sense, but I highly suggest to try and see visual novels as reading material with mixed media (e.g. music). Many are very mid, but some do excel: Higurashi and Umineko are a great example of that.

    Do you have anything to suggest? Me and a friend would like to re-dive into minecraft as a cozy co-op experience but we both have some experience with it from 2010-2018 and the new stuff that came out the last few years just don't look that convincing.

    I've seen modpacks mentioned, but there's so many I don't know where to start

    I second this. A second hand 64gb deck is probably under 300€ if you are a bit patient and search local online used markets, while a new nvidia shield pro is around 220€.

    Pretty much supports most controllers OOB, is literally a console that you can play less demanding games on, has a high resell value if you don't dig it!

    Check official specs on the Logitech website, not Amazon: that sometimes weights the whole package, sometimes it doesn't. The Lift is supposed to be lighter and smaller than the MX!

    It's absurdtpo me how basically no racing game company realizes that one of the key points to have your game be fun is to have some kind of progress. Contemporary racing games literally just throw cars at you in hope to make it fun by constantly giving you new toys.

    I get that this is a thing that sells to the masses who /want/ those shiny new toys, but man. Imagine if a big studio actually took the time to improve on the vintage NFS progression formula :(

  • Final Fantasy 17 needs "a younger generation" of lead developers, suggests FF16 producer
  • memo memo Now 100%

    Persona's combat system, if tweaked correctly can be a tremendous strength: there's a chance to have a great turn-based system in which elements play the role of the main "puzzle" to strategize over with both your demons and your party cast. I agree that Persona 5 had very little strategy in it, let's hope for future entries to be better.

    I wonder what kind of battle system the new Atlus JRPG will have

    fyi: SMT and Persona based their combat system on weak points way earlier than P5. I'm not saying it is immune to criticism, but it's a series standard by now

  • Final Fantasy 17 needs "a younger generation" of lead developers, suggests FF16 producer
  • memo memo Now 100%

    The Final Fantasy series has many loved entries in which recurring characters, archetypes and items make a looping comeback. It is very fun to see how different those elements are handled in different entries. They just need to step back and realize not every FF needs to be a game that pushes its platform to its hardware limit. That may have worked well for them up to the PS2 era, but it's not a thing anymore. You don't need extreme ultra realistic eye twitching for your game to be grandiose.

  • Many players have become "patient gamers". What are games people might miss out on by waiting for sales?
  • memo memo Now 100%

    To be fair, emulation and patching is even improving on late 90s to early 10s console games. Sure, you can't evade hardware limitations, but having, for example, ps2 games not slowing down on a CRT with weird motion blur and giving you a big headache makes for an already much more compelling experience.

    I've never really put a protective case on my handheld consoles (NDS, Vita, 3DS). However, the Steam Deck is more expensive and weighs much more, meaning that even a small height fall could more easily damage it. I was thinking about the Spigen "Thin Fit Pro", which seems to be a tad more premium than what is usually on the market. It *seems* to be cut out to fit in an official dock, but I have my doubts. What's your take on this?

    [Discussion] Emudeck and other Emulators on the Steam Deck
  • memo memo Now 100%

    You got it a bit confused! Flatpak is not a way to store roms, but a way to deliver the software (RetroDeck) onto your device. Retrodeck, once installed, will create a "retrodeck" folder in your steam deck filesystem, which will again contain folders for roms.

    All you need to do at that point is to place rom files inside already existing folders for their own systems (psx, psp, etc). Those files can be of many filetypes. For example, psx roms can be in chd, cue/bin, iso, etc

    It is as straightforward as it can get!

  • Hello all! I hope someone checks the community here on lemmy. Yesterday I copied some backups to my retrodeck's installation on the Steam Deck, togheter with a psx backup. The latter got recognized fine by the in-built scraper using screenscraper.fr with an account, however the PSP ones did not. I tried various names and I also tried to toggle on interactive mode. Any suggestions? Edit: aaaand of course I fix it in around ten minutes after posting this, even if I tried for hours yesterday. The solution was to TURN OFF interactive mode (found it suggested in a patch by EmulationStation-DE) and change the name of the ACTUAL FILES (not the ES-DE scraper search) to the ones found on screenscraper.fr for the game you like. Of course this is only a solution for small libraries with few selected titles, but it does work for me.

    Hi! I've been working on a list of RPGs (mostly japanese or j-influenced somewhat) in which the cast is mostly adults. The list is hosted on backloggd. Leaving it here both in case it may be useful to anyone, but also in case you spot any missing titles that you believe should be added :) cheers! P.S: the only reason for not taking western RPGs into consideration is because.. well, most of them already feature adult casts. Think series such as Divinity, Shadowrun, Baldur's Gate, etc. However, those usually play dramatically different when compared to the JRPG-style turn-based combat.

    Which titles are you ready to play on your linux-powered machine, be it pc or steam deck? I'm having a blast with Death Stranding (albeit performance can be a little groggy on my dated i5-7500); I then plan on playing DOOM (2016) and Hades.

    Howdy! Dilettandomi nel disegno ho pensato si potrebbe creare una comunità dedita a qualsiasi cosa definibile come creazione creativa: sculture, poesie, ricami, videogiochi, un mobiletto (magari evitando la cucina? penso quella necessiti di un sub a parte). Tutto ciò però creato **unicamente e direttamente da chi posta**, non avrebbe altrimenti senso. Se poi una di queste categorie diventa troppo grande si può creare una nuova subdirectory, lasciando questa generalista? Non so, ditemi voi

    Altro post di discussione (spero non sia un problema, in caso admin avvisami!). Come catalogate i vostri libri? Oramai di possibilità ce ne sono così tante che non so proprio decidermi - penso però di preferire quelle soluzioni digitali che attualizzano una certa precisione nel differenziare tra varie edizioni, come nel caso delle traduzioni, in cui si possono avere grosse differenze: è piacevole sapere quali e quante ne esistono. Tra le varie opzioni ricordo: --- - [Goodreads](https://www.goodreads.com/): la più famosa e quella con cui ho iniziato, ma che vorrei abbandonare completamente. Sfortunatamente è la più "user-friendly" per gli utenti meno capaci, ed è per questo che ancora vive forte. Controllata da **Amazon**, l'interfaccia è legnosa e non si capisce generalmente un tubo. In linea di massima le recensioni non vengono considerate di gran qualità. --- - [Bookwyrm](https://joinbookwyrm.com/): **federata** ed **open-source**! Sfortunatamente è sotto tanti punti di vista ancora acerba e che si adegua solo in parte alle esigenze dei lettori più metodici. Da tenere d'occhio, ha la possibilità di crescere nell'alternativa reale come lo sono diventati i software Mastodon e Pleroma per Twitter. --- - [Inventaire.io](https://inventaire.io/welcome): progetto altrettanto open-source. Ottime opzioni per differenziare ogni edizione di un lavoro originale, con la possibilità di taggare i libri come "in regalo" piuttosto che "in vendita¨, etc. Limitate opzioni di aggiunta delle date (per es. inizio e fine lettura) e totalmente assente l'opzione di lasciare una recensione - cosa comunque aggirabile visto che si possono creare delle liste personalizzate con dei campi in cui lasciare delle note per ogni libro aggiunto alla lista. L'alternativa al momento più funzionale ai miei interessi, che forse preferisco.<br> Edit: ho appena scoperto ha anche una funzione che ti permette di vedere le persone vicino a te, se la attivi, che scambiano libri! Che bella cosa. --- - [Literal](https://literal.club/): segnalato da [@Bluoltremauri@feddit.it](https://feddit.it/u/Bluoltremauri), interfaccia carina ma closed-source e ancora in uno stato generale di alpha. Non promette male però! È solo ad invito, ma se chiedete ne abbiamo. --- - [The StoryGraph](https://www.thestorygraph.com/): sempre alternativa closed-source che promette di consigliare i libri in maniera effettiva, anche se è la funzione che a me probabilmente meno interessa. Fa arricciare il naso vedere subito proposto il piano plus appena ti iscrivi. --- - [rate.house](https://rate.house/): progetto molto interessante, per quanto non sia open-source è ad-free e mira ad essere un grande contenitore di più media, non solo libri; vi si trova infatti anche musica, film, videogiochi. Il problema che scaturisce da ciò è che le cose aggiunte (database popolato dagli utenti, come nei tanti altri casi già elencati) hanno informazioni perlopiù vaghe, non vi è per esempio la differenziazione tra edizioni. --- - [OpenLibrary,](https://openlibrary.org/) [BookBrainz](https://bookbrainz.org/): progetti perlopiù mirati alla creazione di un database precisissimo, ma con delle opzioni per la catalogazione assenti o molto povere. Sono quel tipo di database che fanno però da supporto a tanti altri servizi (OpenLibrary aiuta Bookwyrm e l'app Openreads segnalata da [@alephoto85@feddit.it](https://feddit.it/u/alephoto85) , per esempio!) e se avete voglia di contribuire date una grossa mano. --- - [Tellico](https://tellico-project.org/): Software per linux, chiaramente open source; non ha le funzioni social ma è completamente personalizzabile, in ogni campo e/o dettaglio! L'ho provato e pareva funzionare molto bene. Ha comunque il fetching da database online come OL. --- - **Quadernini**, fogli **excel**, **moleskine** che costano un rene: tutti quei metodi classici e "caserecci" che ci lasciano totale libertà, a discapito di lavorare un po' di più manualmente per arrivare ad avere una lista carina e ben organizzata. --- Voi cosa usate? Conoscete altro? Fatemi sapere!

    Da qualche giorno a questa parte mi balena l'idea in testa di scrivere delle piccole note su quei grandi spazi vuoti che ci sono solitamente prima e dopo un libro, magari giusto due righe segnando data ed un paio di riflessioni personali attinenti alla lettura. Mi piace l'idea che il libro, girando poi di mano in mano, venga impreziosito da opinioni e note altrui che rimangono nel tempo; certo, forse eviterei di farlo su edizioni preziose. Voi lo fareste, oppure lo fate già? Perché?
