I love that pirate groups still use ascii text art in their release notes. It’s like a little piece of the world that hasn’t changed in 30 years.
I need to find out how to make these. Mostly just cause I like it.
On Linux, you’ll want to install figlet and toilet (both available in the debian repos)
Alternatively you’ve got this online frontend
If you really want to get weird with it you can also play any video in ascii art through libcaca and mplayer. Looks like this
I use
Arch btwEndeavour OS so don’t have Debian repos but I will definitely check them out. I especially like the fancy dark mode.I just checked and figlet at least appears to be in the arch repositories as well
And still include cheesy mp3s playing too loud in retro-futuristic-looking installers
The music in the installers is the best part about installing cracks
I really felt cheated that no one was insulted, no rants were frothed, no theories conspiracied in this nfo. All we got was relevant information and kindness.
I’m kidding obvs
Bland release notes.
I wanted some spicy ✨bipolar ranting✨
Not even transphobia? But how will I justify my Vtuber hatemail now? /jk
Can’t play because nvidia. So great
Eagerly waiting for the videos of every Starfield’s fade-to-black screen transitioning back into Skyrim’s opening
Starfield and Friends
John…I’m watching you…
I would think that it’s cheap availability on GamePass and likelihood of frequent updates would make for a muted response to this one.
Plus I don’t think it was protected to start with for modding purposes. People will be flying around in Thomas the Tank Engine by the end of next week.

The performance is absolute crap I think everyone should pirate it just to send a message. Like holy crap it’s awful.
I found an optimized ini file on nexusmods that has the game running real well and still looking pretty good. Good lord though yeah the performance is awful.
For these reasons, I’d rather buy Bethesda games. As a company, they aren’t assholes. I’d hate for them to get bought out by ea or something like all the rest.
Yes, that would be terrible for them to be bought by somebody like MS.
While you’re absolutely right to point out they have already been bought by Microsoft. I think we can all admit MS has had an unbelievably better track record with acquiring studios than EA.
Pretty low bar you’ve set there…
Awe as a dev this kind of bums me out a little. I wonder that they used for DRM. Those sales go directly to the devs in way of raises and retention.
Granted this is not EA where i worked, but if you enjoy the game, i encourage you to buy it.
Also NOTE: I DO NOT SUPPORT DRM, just the pay checks of the devs as i was one for quite some time.
Totally agree on the paycheck. However we need to stop acting like piracy is bad only. Buy the things you really enjoy and support the creator(s).
Back in the days a friend suggested i buy Skyrim and i was like: “Uuh not sure if i want to spend that kind of money on a 2yo game”. But since he was quite a fan, i pirated it. Soon after I bought the LE version and today it is still my most played game.
NGL: i also pirated many things of which i never bought the original version. But because of the bay i also bought some things i most likely wouldn’t have without.
I don’t think piracy is bad lol i do think mega corporate publishers have bad practices for sure. Like cool, the one i worked for is publicly traded. Awesome. Every action is greed motivated. I hate that.
Every time i loose hope in games i just play undertale and ignore the world. >.>
You realize this is a forum, actually a whole instance, that centers around piracy, right?
Yeah! You also realize this is a group full of intelligent people right? It’s the whole reason why i chose this instance.
Intelligent enough not to pirate?

What do you mean you’re a saltbox contributor? How does that fit into context?
I agree with you, but I think both of us about to be downvoted by these cheapskates lol
I’ve thought about this. I think that happened was because of timelines, they released a super early build, fuckin producers.
It’s not the worst thing for an early access game to be cracked, honestly. If the game is has more eyes, that’s great. I am curious about what is out now however.
I am also curious about if the cracked version can be updated with content once the game goes live. Like i have no idea when that is or if it has already happened.
Anyone know if save game files from the cracked version (aka Steam version) can be transferred to the GamePass version?
I don’t know why you’d want to rent the game if you’ve already got the cracked copy, but I would be surprised if the save files were any different between the two platforms.
Because it’s a supported copy that I know is getting the latest patches and I’m already paying for it…? Also, as long as I can transfer save files, I could use them down the line on a sale copy on Steam for Steam Deck or whatever else.
Hol-eee shit. My GTX 1070 doesn’t meet minimum requirements…and it just won’t boot? Oh wow.
Who the hell are they expecting is going to play this game? Only trust fund kids?
Adults with jobs?
Did starfield not have denuvo drm. I thought most Bethesda games did.
None of them do. It would fuck with people’s ability to make mods for them.
Not necessairly (well, goodbye to Starfield Script Extender in that case). But I think it’s more that Gamebryo can’t integrate Denuvo lol
It would also be unplayably slow. Bethesda games aren’t known for performance even without Denuvo slowing them down.
Lets not pretend that there aren’t Denuvo games without performance issues…
Unless I’m mistaken, Denuvo constantly encrypts and decrypts everything in the process’ memory, including executable code, in order to conceal it. There is no way to do that without massive performance overhead.
There are uncracked Denuvo games to this day that don’t have performance issues. Not everyone is incompetent in implementing it. That doesn’t mean I’m defending it (but Reddit/Lemmy will like to take any sort of non-attack as defense sooooo), I’m just saying that there are Denuvo games that don’t suffer performance issues.
Now imagine how fast they’d be without Denuvo.
Bethesda Game Studios games don’t have DRM like Denuvo. BGS and Bethesda Softworks are two different entities. ID, MachineGames and other Zenimax studios tend to have DRM, not BGS.
On the other hand, didn’t Denuvo come out after Fallout 4 launched? So what would they even protect, 76?
No, Denuvo was first used in Sept. 2014 and Fallout 4 came out Nov. 2015.
Why did you start with No?
“Didn’t Denuvo come out after Fallout 4 launched?”
“No, it came out a bit more than a year earlier.”
Ah. Well F4 didn’t have it on launch
Is RUNE or IGGAMESCOM trustworthy?
RUNE cracked Baldur’s Gate 3 recently.
Which is DRM free…
Imagine cracking a game that’s already on gog lmao
“Cracked” meaning having replaced a dll file
They don’t even replace the DLL file for you! After you run the RUNE installer, you have to copy the emulator yourself
You can just click the checkbox for “Copy crack to install directory” to get the installer to do everything for you.
I’m not sure why that isn’t the default.
Exactly; this just needed an emulator like goldberg
Bethesda games usually don’t go for heavy DRM stuff (beyond the basic steam DRM), because it impairs modding (especially injection / nonofficial modding, stuff like SKSE for skyrim)
The game is kinda meh from what I’ve seen? Any positive impressions?
Still downloading for me, but I see more than one review saying it takes a long time to get good. I’m keeping my expectations low.
EDIT: Glad I was warned it starts slow. It does get better if you stick with it.
EDIT 2: It entertained me for a week. It’s no Skyrim, or even Fallout. I would have been pissed if I’d paid for it.
WTF?! The game is not even released on steam yet? Are they cracking the preloaded version?
AFAIK the digital deluxe edition allows you to start playing 5 days early.
There is no “play 5 days early”. The game launched on 1st of September. But those who can’t afford to shell out 100 Euros have to wait 5 more days. Microsoft did the same bullshit with Forza. I didn’t like it back then, I won’t like it now.
Imma wait for the fitgirl repack
fitgirl repack
Looks like it’s already out.
yass already have it seeded
