Am I missing something here? I thought X/Twitter always allowed NSFW content.

I know it’s been a while but I tried the flatpak version of mpv and it’s not working. If I open the flatpak version without any music it opens but it becomes unresponsive as soon as I try to load any music. I also have no idea how to diagnose this issue as running the flatpak version in the terminal gives no error messages.

The version that comes with Linux Mint works perfectly fine, so I don’t need the flatpak version, I’m just curious as to why the flatpak version doesn’t work.

Well, while MPV might be outdated, I already mentioned that I was able to get YouTube videos working by downloading a newer version of yt-dlp and creating a conf file for MPV that links to it. While I was looking into the problem, the versions available in apt for all three of these are outdated by at least a year, possible 3 years for MPV. I’m not sure if this is just a Linux Mint issue but I have noticed that a lot of the software both preinstalled and available in it’s repository, are pretty outdated.

I might try downloading the newer versions of these later. I got MPV working and that’s good enough for me right now.

VLC still gives me the same error message.

For MPV, it gives me the following error message:

`mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e9_l2oGxdw [ytdl_hook] ERROR: [youtube] 3e9_l2oGxdw: Unable to extract uploader id; please report this issue on https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues?q= , filling out the appropriate issue template. Confirm you are on the latest version using yt-dlp -U [ytdl_hook] youtube-dl failed: unexpected error occurred Failed to recognize file format.

Exiting… (Errors when loading file) `

I just tried that and it’s not working for me. MPV just closes itself and VLC gives me an error message. Do I need to do more that just drag and drop the URL?

Also, something else that is interesting, there was a developer named DeNA Corp. They were the developers for Final Fantasy Record Keeper*. Despite the fact that the game has been EOL for about 1 and a half years now and the Developer’s account seems to have been deleted, I can still download the game. I don’t think it works anymore but it’s something interesting I thought I’d bring up.

*The link works for me when I’m logged in but it doesn’t work when I’m not logged in, so it might not work for you if you’ve never downloaded that game before.

I’m not sure why your comment is just now showing up in my inbox but I’ve looked into it and there are developers who haven’t updated or released any apps in the last 5 years and I can still see and download their apps. An example I can give is mkrupczak3, who has only released one app and it hasn’t been updated in almost 5 years.

I forgot to mention it in my previous comment but because I don’t own the crew, the only option available for me in my country, is to spread it on social media. I’m also going to add that link to my post because I just realized that I probably should.

That’s the “movement” that I was referring to in my post.

I mean, if that was the case, why didn’t they mention that anywhere and wouldn’t their website also be shut down as well?

But the thing is that, even with apps that haven’t updated in years, I can usually download them from my library. But in the case of DreamSky, every app they ever released is completely missing from my library, they’re even missing from my purchasing history.

I know I can do that, but that’s not the problem here. I’ve seen developers remove old games before but I’ve never seen an entire developer completely disappear.

Also, I’ve had no problem in the past with downloading old apps from the Google Play Store. For example, about a month ago, I downloaded a game that was last updated in 2016. The Google Play Store usually allows you to download old apps from your library, but as I stated in my post, their apps are completely missing from my library.

So I just read the article and I was right and I’ll be editing my comment to reflect that.

Also, I did just re look at the tweets, they weren’t calling for the mass genocide of gay people, they were calling for the mass genocide of jewish people. The problem was that the tweet was linked with another tweet where they used the F-slur, so I forgot they said “jews” and not the F-slur. I’m going to have fix that too.

Just out of curiosity, have you even seen any of the tweets that I’m referring too?

While I have no problem with what Sweet Baby Inc does, I hate that all of the articles defending them (like this one) refuse to acknowledge a lot of the reasons why they are getting backlash. Like all of the tweets from SBI employees that either use racist/anti-LGBT slurs or advocate for the mass genocide of Jewish people or the fact that this whole thing started because SBI started a harassment campaign towards the creator of a steam group despite not having any information that actually proved that the group was in the wrong and also ignoring the fact that the group was created by someone from Brazil and claiming that the group was created by right-winged conspiracy theorists.

I don’t know if you are looking for anything specific but here is a list of some of the games that I would recommend trying:

The Harry Potter games, the PS2 version of these games seem to be heavily inspired by the N64 era Zelda games as they have a lot of similarities. Chamber of Secrets is, at least in my opinion, the best of the three but the other two games are still worth checking out. Also, something interesting to note is that, unlike how games for these systems normally are, the PS2 versions of these games are technically better than both the GameCube and Xbox versions due to porting issues and some other poor design choices.

The Sly cooper games, these games, especially 2 and 3, are speculated to be direct inspiration for the Assassin’s Creed games. Some say that Sly 2 is the best, while others say that 3 was the best, but I don’t know which one I prefer.

Monster house, I know that this is a bit of a weird one to mention, but it was a really good game. The game is similar to Resident Evil 4 in both gameplay and atmosphere. It’s one of the rare examples of a movie licensed game that was actually good.

Pac-Man World 2 and 3, both which are action platformers. I personally prefer 3 but 2 had a better soundtrack (I don’t know why they put that much effort in the OST of a Pac-Man game).

While I have no interest in using a service like this, I understand why they are doing this. I would imagine that a service like this probably costs a lot to run and it looks like they are adding them in a sensible way. It’s not like how a lot of mobile games are where the game just randomly stops in the middle of game-play to show you an ad.

It depends on the game. If the gender has an effect on the stats or gameplay, I may choose a female character if I think it would either benefit my character build or make the gameplay more interesting. If it’s just cosmetic, I will play as a female if I think the male characters look ugly and the game doesn’t have a femboy option.

I agree with that and some of the artists I listen to actually do use platforms where you can purchase their music directly but unfortunately buying the music directly just really isn’t viable for me. Platforms that use ads for monetization are really the only way that’s viable but the artists I listen to only use Spotify, or if they do use other platforms, they just use them for demos and other promotional stuff.

You know what, this makes me feel a lot better about using an ad-blocker when using their site. Although, I would prefer if the artists I listen to didn’t exclusively use Spotify for some reason.
