  • Yeah hear me out though, fuck linking accounts to anywhere, fuck DRM. That’s why I bought the game on GOG. The factorio site in no way needs to have any information on me in order to download mods. I in no way want to link shit to a third party. They don’t need to grab my info.

    I own factorio on GOG but there’s no way in hell I’m going to do that bullshit. I completely understand people being unwilling to buy because of this DRM. I bought it off GOG to avoid DRM. If I had known there’s no way in hell I’d have bought this game.

    Seriously, great game, fuck wube for shoving DRM down my throat for a mod. Lube up boys. Fuck that. 50 dollars and I have to submit to this man who fears piracy, an inevitability, more than they value real ownership of your product. Now I have to use an inferior product to avoid this trash

    If I could I’d refund just to pirate.



  • You’ll need to run the game once, at which point there should be a folder with a bunch of numbers in that folder. It seems like the folder is here from what you’ve posted:

    $HOME/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Elden Ring/drive_c/users/reinoud/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/76561197960267366

    I could be wrong however, sorry for that I only use heroic for GOG games

    But yeah, just paste the ER0000.sl2 file in that folder and all should be good, as long as you’re using the same pirated version of EldenRing. If you start the game and it says save file currupted or something along those lines, though I doubt it will, you’ll need the eldenring save manager mod to fix it. Again however, I doubt this is needed




  • You’ll want to get the save from steams prefix and copy it to heroics prefix, or your default prefix. Sorry, not near a pc so this’ll be a bit off

    The steam save file should be located somewhere around here:
    $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1245620/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing

    It should be called something like “er0001.sl2”

    Find the same location in your heroic prefix, which should be saved here

    $HOME/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/EldenRing/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/EldenRing/

    Locations may be a bit different, sorry for any possible confusion.

    If you removed the game from steam already though the save file is gone. This has bitten me in the past personally

    Edit: Save file ends in sl2, not sl as I had stated before the edit

    Discord and matric are room based chat services. You join a room and there’s a chat around some subject going on which you can participate in. I use it for my DND group to discuss upcoming games and our general lives. Some larger communities form on these apps. Say, game emulation, people who talk about a video game, college members and alumni, people in a city, weed in a country, youtubers, etc.

    This seems to be a bridge that copies messages from discord and sends them to matrix, or copies messages from matrix and sends them to discord. Allowing users from one service to talk to the other. The intent is to slowly bring members of a larger discord community over to the matrix server.







  • My dude, that was 8 years ago. I am 23. There are people younger than you it’s nothing to worry about. In high school I was not interested in pc companies, let alone privacy. This has since changed.

    I was 15 when the news broke. I liked playing video games, pretending to be cool, and dnd.

    You are a very strange person to believe me thanking this person for sharing their knowlage and changing my opinion accordingly is trolling. I’d think you were kidding if I hadn’t come back to a new downvote on my two comments in this thread

    It’s a sublingul spray (under the tounge, but will work with regular digestion). Nano means nanomulsions, which allows oil to be mixed with water. That’s what allows thc, which dissolves in oil but not in water, to be added to a more liquid substance. Say, an oral spray or a seltzer. Some people say it makes it stronger but I personally see no difference in streangth. it does come on much quicker. Especially under the tounge


  • I don’t remember the superfish scandal, had never heard of it actually. Thank you telling me about it though, I was a child when this was a thing. Looks like it came out in 2015 and settled in 2017. That’s not recent. Thank you again, I’m glad to know this, and won’t think of Lenovo when suggesting laptops again.

    I can understand the aggression you’re giving me seeing as how you’re being downvoted for something which may be a legitimate concern. I’m sorry for that, and would like to confirm I’ve not been participating. (Edit: sorry, you’re not bigfig. This apology was to them) My thanks was honest. Though, I cannot see the link to it being a “chinease spyware” situation. Would you be able to provide links for that one? I see superfish is and was headquartered in california. What makes it chinease?

    Edit: @Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world would you be able to advise? (BigFig)

    For the lazy, here’s some excerpts from a PCWORLD article:

    According to the FTC, the software allowed VisualDiscovery to see all of a consumer’s sensitive personal information transmitted over the Internet, including log-in information, Social Security numbers, and more

    In 2015, Lenovo CTO Peter Hortensius called the decision to use Superfish a “significant mistake.”

    (Big whoopsy daisy, we sent all your personal information to an add company, we really ballsed this one up)

    For 20 years, Lenovo will be required to put in place a “comprehensive software security program for most consumer software preloaded on its laptop,” subject to external audits, the FTC said. If Lenovo does put adware onto its laptops, it must “get consumers’ affirmative consent,” it added.

    Wow, maybe that one shouldn’t be limited to 20 years. Maybe that one shouldn’t be limited to lenovo, huh

    According to McSweeny, VisualDiscovery and its Superfish software “would alter the very Internet experience for which most consumers buy a computer,” she wrote.

    I assume for the better right guys? right?

    According to McSweeny, the Superfish software slowed Internet browsing, specifically downstream traffic by 25 percent and uploads by as much as 125 percent. In addition to simply slowing browser speeds, VisualDiscovery also used an insecure method to replace digital certificates, exposing users to risk and preventing their browsers from warning them that the website they were visiting could have been spoofed. And on every e-commerce site, VisualDiscovery’s software would display ads.

    That ones fun
