What anime do you like but are afraid/ashamed to admit it?
  • Yamada's First Time. lol I don't like ecchi, but I got into romance anime last summer and this one was just so funny, sex positive, and oddly sweet at times. It's def kinda ecchi though.

  • Current situation on FOSS Discord replacements?
  • You can just search terms right within Element to find public "rooms" (like a Discord Server). There's rooms for all kinds of things. There are private rooms, too, but someone in the room would have to send you a link to it.

  • Current situation on FOSS Discord replacements?
  • I love the Element client for Matrix. I use it with my friends and I have joined a lot of communities on there. It's Discord-like, but I personally find it much easier to navigate than Discord. It's free, open source, decentralized, you can self-host if that's your jam, it's got some solid security and usability features, call quality is great, and I've found it to be very stable and reliable. I'm a little biased because I personally don't like Discord, I find the UI clunky and unpleasant to use, but I love using Element. If you love Discord, you will find Element familiar, but you may or may not appreciate the differences.

  • Nintendo Lawsuit Shuts Down Switch Emulator Yuzu And 3DS Emulator Citra
  • This is a huge shame. Both of these projects were exceptional preservation efforts.

  • Is there something like open_agb_firm for DS games?

    Like I know there's twilight menu, but I like that you can basically hold start and boot right into the GBA games. I wonder if there is a similar barebones approach to playing DS games?

    What are your favorite Steam games?
  • Satisfactory, Valheim, The Riftbreaker, and Necesse are favorites of mine that I come back to a lot

  • STAR WARS™: Battlefront Classic Collection [14 Mar on Steam]
  • So they turned off the servers to resell the same game they were already selling?

  • STAR WARS™: Battlefront Classic Collection [14 Mar on Steam]
  • What's the difference between this and the ones that are already on Steam? It doesn't seem like it's remastered or anything.

  • Here's How The Epic Games Store Plans To Improve In 2024
  • They could stop wasting money on buying exclusivity. That would be the biggest improvement of all.

  • Sony wants to improve PlayStation profit margins with more aggressive PC release strategy
  • PLEASE. FFS, exclusivity is BS and we need to move away from it.

  • Stellar Blade Rated 18+ For Nudity and 'Excessive Violence' - Insider Gaming
  • Agreed. The game looks pretty sick, but I hope you can get some like cool armor for the main character or something.

  • What's the best Anime watching app available for android currently ?
  • Dantotsu, hands down, imo. Great UI, lots of extensions and configurability but simple to use.

  • Capcom Asks Players If They Want Sequels to Okami, Dead Rising, Mega Man, and More
  • Please. For the love of god. Mega Man Legends 3.

  • Major Xbox influencers pull support over multiplatform rumours
  • For sure. I'm looking forward to playing Spider-Man 2 in a couple years. 😅

  • Major Xbox influencers pull support over multiplatform rumours
  • Seriously. I'm always psyched when a great game gets ported to any other console. I'm a PC player, I don't even play on consoles (except Switch), I'm just happy more people get to experience games that made me happy. Exclusivity makes sense for the console makers, but from a consumer perspective, it's fucking stupid. It's so weird to me that people defend it so fiercely.

  • Daydreaming [Safely Endangered]
  • The joke is that all the adventures Mario has in the games are just escapist dreams, because he's actually just a normal plumber who is sad and unfulfilled by his life.

  • Sony Has A New PlayStation Handheld Console In Development, Report Claims - Insider Gaming
  • Holy crap, that thing had a backlit LCD and could play 16-bit home console games on the go. What a beast. How did I not even know this thing existed? 0.o

  • Godot Engine gets a free Nintendo Switch port for game devs
  • Haha yeah, I was gonna say, if you've even been on the eshop once, "selective" is not the word you'd use to describe them.

  • We're now eight projects into Phase Five. What is your feeling about it?
  • Yeah, I knew it was bad when Loki, a show I really liked, dropped it's second season and I just didn't even care. I'm sure it's solid, I just still haven't seen it. It sucks because the MCU was like "my thing" that I was super into for a really long time. I geeked so hard over it. I still haven't seen Echo, either, or the last couple movies. It's a bummer.

  • Does the "Redirector" add-on affect your browser fingerprint in any way?

    I use it in my normal Firefox setup, but I've been playing with Mullvad browser and I've kept everything to the defaults so I have a good option when I want a little more anonymity without needing the nuclear option (Tor) for sensitive-ish-but-really-not-all-that-sensitive browsing.

    I'd like to add Redirector into the mix, and my inclination is that it shouldn't affect the fingerprint because everything is handled clientside from start to finish with that add-on, and the redirect is handled before the browser even connects to the redirected site. With that said, I'm honestly not 100% sure if simply adding an extension of any kind would be enough to change the fingerprint and cause me to lose out on some of that sweet, sweet herd anonymity.

    Anyone know the answer to this that can fill me in? I would appreciate it. :)

    Is it possible to find an album on DoubleDouble if it's on Amazon Music but not Spotify or iTunes?

    Is anyone here familiar with using DoubleDouble? It seems like you can download from a bunch of services, but you can only search from Spotify or Apple. Is that correct?

    I am trying to track down an album in FLAC format that is not on Spotify or iTunes, but it is on Amazon Music, yet DoubleDouble can't seem to find it even if I paste in a direct link to the album. Am I doing something wrong, or is that just how it works?

    Questions about stability and Nvidia performance on vanilla Fedora (Gnome) vs KDE

    Hi! I have some newb-ish questions, and I was hoping some Fedora veterans could help me out.

    I have been using the KDE spin of Fedora since 36, and I love it. I distro-hopped for years, but I have not had any interest since landing on Fedora. I have been using the KDE spin because I love KDE. I love how lightweight yet feature-rich and customizable it is. It can really be anything I need it to be, and it's amazing.

    With that said, there are two recent happenings that have made me question whether I should switch to the original GNOME version:

    1. I've been having some minor issues lately with F39, like audio not working after I reboot, so I had to eeventuakly remove it altogether and use pipewire, which has been working better. Nothing big, but minor issues like that. I've heard that the GNOME version performs better and is more stable/has less bugs, but idk if there's any truth to it?

    2. I have an Nvidia GPU. Wayland support is pretty bad for me, and I've been relying on X11 all this time. Recently, it was confirmed that Fedora will be dropping X11 support altogether in F40. I'm wondering if anyone out there has used both KDE and Gnome with an Nvidia GPU that can tell me if there's any difference in Wayland performance?

    I kinda don't want to switch to GNOME, because I love KDE, but if it will make my experience better, then I think it's probably worth a shot.

    I've been watching Gal & Dino, and idk if I like it yet or not, but I really like the juxtaposition of a more silly, western style cartoon dinosaur that lives with an anime girl. lol

    Are there other animes that combine different art styles for comedic effect that are good?

    Is there a "check disk" utility for Linux?

    I was just accessing some files off a portable HDD and my power went out due to a storm. When it came back on, my HDD wouldn't mount anymore. I booted into my Windows partition and had it scan and repair the drive, and thankfully it works again.

    But I'm wondering--did I have to boot into Windows for that? Does Linux have any such utility?

    Can anyone recommend me a good casual-competitive FPS?

    Can anyone recommend me a good casual-competitive FPS?

    Overwatch was one of my all-time favorite games, but I just don't like OW2. I tried, it's just not the vibe anymore for me. I tried a couple other hero shooters, like Team Fortress 2, which I couldn't really get into. I've been thinking back to when I was last really into a shooter, and it was probably the original Modern Warfare 2 or Black Ops 2. Before that was Halo 3. I did also like Advanced Warfare when that came out.

    These days, all of the popular modern shooters seem to be battle royals, which are fine (I liked Apex a lot for a while), but it's not really what I'm looking for. Beyond that, they're often F2P but loaded with microtransactions and shit. I am just so sick of that pricing model, I just want to pretend like it doesn't exist. lol I'm fine buying a game outright, but if there's a bunch of DLC or in-game currency of any kind, I'm out.

    I'm also not looking for something like CS where everyone you play with is god-tier and is doing trick shots, cause that's frustrating.

    So I guess I'm looking for a classic COD/Battlefield-ish FPS with the modern touches (like leaning around corners, etc.), that's either paid or free but does not paywall any content. It can be newer or older as long as it's not hard to find matches online. I'm also not super picky about art direction, but it'd be cool if it had good graphics.

    Aaaand the icing on the cake: if it can run on Linux (natively or via proton), you get infinite bonus points. It's not a total deal-breaker if I have to switch to my Windows partition, but I do prefer Linux.

    I know that's a tall order. Is there anything good in 2023 that would check most of these boxes?

    [Help] Dolphin emulator for Android not reading input from Wiimote in game

    I've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 running stock Android 13 and I've paired a real Wiimote via Bluetooth and confirmed that it is connected. In Dolphin (ver 5.0-19870), I've set my Wii input to "Real WiiMote" and I've plugged in a USB sensor bar.

    I can navigate dolphin with the Wiimote + Nunchuck (I can navigate the game select menu with the joystick on the nunchuck or the D-pad and launch a game with the A button), but for some reason, none of the input works in-game. The B button will open and close the in-game Dolphin menu and the Home button will minimize the Dolphin app and take me back to my launcher, but that's it. I can't interact at all otherwise.

    It doesn't give me any options to configure the Wiimote's controls, unless I'm emulating a Wiimote. With the "Real Wiimote" option, I can't seem to configure anything.

    Does anyone know what the problem might be or how I can fix it?

    Thank you!

    Is there a way to mass import box art into Daijisho?

    I know Daijisho automatically scrapes, which is cool, but I'm not always crazy about the way it scrapes box art. I have an emulation station setup on my PC and I'd really like to copy the box art images from there and import them into Daijisho, but I can't find where those images are stored on my Android device (Retroid Pocket 2+, if it matters).

    I know you can fix them individually, but it'd be way easier if I could do it in bulk.

    Does anyone know how to do this or if it's possible?

    EDIT: Okay, it looks you (kinda) can do it! You have to go one platform at a time, but you can move your pictures to your device's storage, hit the edit icon on a platform in Daijisho, and select "Import Preview Media" at the bottom. You will have to select Box Art, Title Art, and Screenshot folder seperately for each system, but it's still a lot faster than doing individual games.

    Has there been any update on when the kbin API will be available? A few weeks ago, I heard it would be "a few days," and haven't heard anything since.

    Can anyone assist with correcting my KRename regex?

    I'm trying to rename a bunch of files by removing all parenthetical from the file name EXCEPT if they contain a specific word.

    For instance, say these are my files:

    • File 1 (Boop) (Ver 1).file
    • File 1 (Beep) (Ver 2).file
    • File 2 (Soup).file
    • Another File (Seep).file
    • Yet Another (Ver 5).file

    I want to KEEP any parenthetical with "Ver" and a number, but I want the rest gone.

    So it should look like:

    • File 1 (Ver 1).file
    • File 1 (Ver 2).file
    • File 2.file
    • Another File.file
    • Yet Another (Ver 5).file

    I can write \(.*\) for Find and leave Replace blank to get rid of anything parenthetical, and it works great.

    So I tried \((?!Ver).*\) and a bunch of alternatives, but it gives me the same result of just removing all parentheticals (even the ones I want). I have tried lookaheads, lookbehinds, and a bunch of syntax tweaks, but I always either end up with no parentheticals or all of them.

    Any suggestions?

    Edit: I got it working (kinda). I couldn't make it work with the wildcard thing, but after changing it to \((?!Ver)\w+\), it did work except if there were more parenthetical after. Like if it was "File (Ver 9) (Extra Junk).file", then it would just leave it untouched. So I had to use a combo of two expressions to clean up the rest.
