I’ve been using yt-dpl + MPV + qutebrowser or ytfzf for a long time, but lately I’ve been using Freetube a lot on my desktop (which can also use MPV as an external player). Subscriptions are saved locally and can be exported in several formats. I occasionally export them, sync them over syncthing to my phone and import it on my yt apps on my phone. On my phone I mainly use Libretube, with NewPipe as a backup.
what a silly owl!
There is so much news like this coming from France lately. What is going on over there?
Damn, what a great guy. He doesn’t just make it easy to request a refund that he needs to pay from his own pocket. He actually made it opt-out. I’ve always used RiF on Android, never used Apollo. But Christian earned a lot of my respect in the last few weeks. Fuck Reddit and fuck how they screwed the people that helped them build the platform into what it is today.
It’s been five fucking years since they released the teaser trailer for Elder Scrolls VI.
I really don’t understand why publishers do this. At best, you can’t give a representative image of the game 10 years in advance and people loose interest over time (Anybody that cared about Duke Nukem Forever?). The whole project might change drastically, maybe even multiple times.
At worst, both fans and shareholders get whiny about the releasedate and demand it to be released ASAP. Resulting in releases similar to that of Cyberpunk 2077. Why not announce the game when it is actually (almost) done?
You’re welcome! And I agree, a ligtweight Open Source front end would be amazing! I know there is a CLI version of Steam (SteamCMD), but I’m not sure how much of the regular Steam functionality is built into that
JSYK for if you want extra performance: Steam also has a hidden “mini mode”, which you can run by adding this as a launchoption to a steam shortcut (or in a terminal) steam://open/minigameslist.
Additionally, you can add the -no-browser launch option to completely disable the built-in webbrowser.
I can’t find any official documentation about these options, but they are certainly there!
You can actually find many repo’s on Github that contain CCA, like this one:

I’ve it installed on my PC as well. It’s a fun occasional time killer
Funnily enough, I got stuck too in CT, at a boss fight. But I’m determined to pick it up again and finish it some day. I’m not even sure if the boss-fight I’m stuck at is the last fight of the game or if there is a whole other chapter. It’s sometimes hard to guess if you’re near the end of the game in J-RPG’s.
I also experienced that when I played Star Ocean First Departure and Star Ocean Second Evolution a few years ago. Those games are actually the games that made me discover my appreciation for J-RPG’s. Every time I thought “Oh, this is it. Story is over”, something completely unexpected happend and the story went on for many more hours. If you haven’t played those games yet, I would highly recommend them (but I might be biased as well). Square Enix actually announced another remake of SO The Second Story, so you might want to wait for that (but you don’t have to, the PSP version of Second Evolution is incredible as well). Second Evolution was one of the best games I’ve played in a long, long time, so I’m really exited about this one :)
I get what you mean with the optimistic and whimsy vibe in most J-RPG’s. I love how I get drawn into the adventure and get the sense of “Sure, I can save the world”, while not overdoing it.
I see a lot of great names on your list! Legend of Mana and Chrono Cross are still on my list of old games that I want to play! But I want to finish Chrono Trigger on the DS first :)
I discovered I really like J-RPG’s and since then I’ve been trying out classics that I’ve missed when I grew up
I loved that game! I’ve never finished it. Most of my playtime is probably using the free demo on my ps3, just wrecking stuff.
I played it for a while and was pleasantly surprised! I’m pretty sure I’m going to buy it at some point
In GTA 2, One of the first things that I did when I started the game (in the first level), was driving all the way down to the far bottom-right corner of the map. The tank that was hidden over there was way too much fun!
Oh, I can certainly see the appeal of that game! I love J-RPG’s from that time period.
Judging on the store-page, I think “isometric action rpg” is pretty spot on. Based on the little I I know about this game, I think I would specify it even further as a “Isometric Action J-RPG” myself, even though it is technically Japanese. Thank you for sharing it :)
I thought you were talking about Pokemon Silver at first, but that game didn’t have voice acting. What kind of game is Silver?
I discovered the excistence of Bustin’Out on the GBA only 2 years ago. When I discovered it was an ancestor on Urbz, I had to play it! I played it through an emulator on my trusty old PSP, long after I had sold my GBA SP. I loved it! THe story and athmosphere were not developed to the same depth as Urbz, but it was certainly a very fun and welcome experience. More of the same in a positive way!
If I had to recommend a friend only 1 of both games, I would always recommend the Urbz. But Bustin’Out is great is you can´t get enough!
I read this comments about how Mastedon fixes cross-instance UX behaviour. I think it is exactly what Kbin and Lemmy need:
The Urbz: Sims in the City for the GBA (and also the DS).
This is such a hidden gem on the GBA and my favorite GBA game I had. Had great music as well!
My thoughts exactly. Deadalic is an awesome studio with some of the best point-n-click games, an IMO underrated niche genre and some great other unique games. However, they are not the kind of studio for a games like Gollum. Every studio (and even every person working at that studio) has it’s own strengths and weaknesses. By utilizing that strengths and weaknesses correctly, you can make great games. It’s a shame they got a bad rep because they didn’t do that with this game.
