  • Honestly? I’m a fan of Flatpaks where they make sense. I’m also okay with Appimages. Native is pretty cool. Whatever gets the thing to run really.

    I like to use the terminal to update my applications, it’s just faster. I have an alias to run an update for native packages and flatpaks. You can use your GUI of choice. Or not, it’s up to you. It’s that sort of freedom that I love about using Linux.

    In some cases, Flatpak actually helps, as in my case, with Prism Launcher. Some of my system libraries cause issues with a handful of mods, but the libraries distributed with the Flatpak get that working. Hopefully that’s not foreshadowing more future library-related issues.







  • There’s a great video here from Lost In Translationmon about this device. Seems to me that battles on it play automatically, so it’s easy to assume that battling one would also be automatic. You can also transfer Digimon, which is where the legendary Kimeramon comes from. (Though there are ROM patches to make Kimeramon part of the game as an enemy unit, among others of course)

    I haven’t personally seen it connected to Digimon World 2, though I did watch a Japanese streamer play through the game. They know about the PocketStation and Pocket Digimon World but apparently they’re rare and expensive, if they even still work. Guessing the battery will need replacing, as it’s about that age.

    More, there were severe shortages on these things so they never made it outside of Japan, thus the whole feature was removed from Digimon World 2’s NA release. It also looks like it uses a horrible transparent plastic that doesn’t age super well.

    If I recall correctly the PS1/PSX has a region lock chip, so to use it you’d need a Japanese PlayStation, a Japanese copy or burn of Digimon World 2 and one of these. Sounds expensive.

    Even though you could emulate the Japanese version of Digimon World 2, it’s not like there’s anything currently that interfaces with these at this point in time anyway, and you’d also need a function in the emulator to forward the data correctly.

    Sadly, the other thing that players typically notice while playing Digimon World 2 is the pain of having to level from 1 again after a DNA, which this could’ve helped with.








  • Hey guys I got a wifi69 card, does anyone know how to make it work? NVM I fixed it.

    (User disappears after the post and never elaborates, meanwhile replying to the thread is also a necro post and it gets locked anyway)

    Or my other favourite:

  • Important to note those in-game purchases Fubarberry mentioned are critical to the game’s future, yet it’s still possible to play without opening the wallet. It’s rare that a game which is funded by MTX doesn’t constantly tell you how much you’re missing out on by not buying stuff.

    The catch is that selling to other players is a hassle without the premium stash tab and IMO, PoE1’s default 4 stash tabs is simply not enough beyond act 10. If you only play the “Solo Self-Found” mode, it doesn’t matter too much since you only pick up stuff for yourself.

    It is very easy to fill up with currency, gems, essences, maps, league mechanic stuff, levelling uniques as well as the usual stuff you pick up while levelling like belts and rings.

    I say, if you end up enjoying the game enough to open your wallet, $30 is enough to fully enjoy the game, and your purchased stash tabs carry over between leagues, and between games where possible.

    It’s also nice to know that the people getting all those “firsts” in chat at the start of a league aren’t hacking in items, as in Diablo 3 console edition.
