Cyberpunk 2077 released in December 2020. Almost 4 years later, what is your opinion on it? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

It's very cyberpunk that police work would be outsourced to random mercs.

I have it on the PS5 and did four playthroughs already. No other game since the last two Deus Ex games has captured the spirit of cyberpunk so damn well. And with CP77 being open world, it is so easy and nice to immerse yourself in the world. One of my favorite games of all time.

Oh, didn't notice you weren't the one I replied to.

That "just bombed" is doing some very heavy lifting here, considering that Polar Express was released 20 years ago.

I want to continue BG3 so bad, but the D&D combat is absolutely not my cup of tea. I love the world, the story, the characters. I loathe turn-based combat. Such a bummer.

D&W was two hours of pure fanservice. The story was extremely forgettable and I think that was intentional.

He also doesn't have a passport, because they are issued in his name.

Line must always go up.

TIL "This is Spinal Tap" has a 7.9/11 rating on IMDB in c/til@lemmy.world
[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 week ago

I like IMDb ratings as a broad gauge of quality. 99% of movies under 5.5 or so are not something I enjoy. Beyond that it's just taste. Although I like most movies in the top 250, the order of movies (x is better than y) is useless to me.

Looking for MiTV box replacement (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I have a MiTV box with Android that runs apps for Jellyfin, Prime Video and Disney Plus. I would like to replace it with a mini PC, like some N100 box, to have more control over what runs on it. I tried a Pi with Kodi once, but I hate the UI so much. It's just not my thing.

What other options do I have with self-hosted alternatives? I want a central UI like AndroidTV offers, I need Jellyfin, Disney Plus, Prime Video and some local TV station's streaming offerings and some remote control.

I don't think that's possible, as you can only run Disney and Prime in a browser or their apps. And using a browser on the TV is not nice UX. But maybe some of the great people here have cracked that nut and can help me.

Good free TTS (text-to-speech) options? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

Are there any free/open-source TTS options out there that are on the same level as Google Cloud's? I tried a lot of free ones, but they are absolutely awful and still sound like my Amiga did 30 years ago. With LLMs being available as open source, I am hoping there's also a good TTS offering I just haven't found yet.

Barrier/Input Leap/other KVM server for Wayland? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I really want to use Wayland, but the lack of a Wayland-based KVM sharing tool is an absolute deal breaker for me. I tried so many of them, but none worked. Waynergy looks alright, but it's only a client. rkvm didn't work at all and I don't remember the names of the other tools I tried. I know that Input Leap/Barrier has met their donation goal for Wayland support, but I am not holding my breath that it'll work with wlr.

Has anyone gotten KVM sharing to work with a Wayland host and other Linux clients?

Hi,

I am always looking for sources for comics, particularly franco-belgian in English or German. The only sources I can find are these godawful download sites where you need to pay or your download takes a day.

Anyone have better sources?

Edit: Thanks a lot everyone!

Wanted: audio library streaming plus Spotify (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I am looking for something I can run on a Pi that gives me access to my private audio library plus Spotify, because I hate switching apps. I want to access it from a desktop and Android. Does someone have something like this set up?
