So how does one acquire the training data that this will use. It sounds like they are gonna gather “all” of the original copies from various publishers in order to train the AI. Would be a real shame if someone were to discover where that was being stored.

2014…

If you want something that far “out of print” those repacks are your best bet. The only other options that MIGHT be available are key reseller sites. If you’re lucky they have some keys. If they still work is another problem.

Anecdotal but I moved somewhat recently and found my box of old consoles/games. I found my copy of Marvel Vs Capcom 3 (PS3) and booted it up to find out that I never claimed the DLC. I bought the steelbook Special Edition with a DLC code for the extra characters. Tried to redeem and apparently the code expired. If I want the characters I have to buy the “Ultimate” version of the game which has the characters on the disk.

And Echoes of Wisdom too.

I can hear this comment.

Winter isn’t coming

“Put a finger down if …[very specific situation]”

No, that’s not how that works.

The fans are there for moisture not smell.

Don’t forget pets, they shoot those too.

The fact that it’s an option that even remotely works is my point. They sell hardware. They don’t support software. The community does that. There is something to be gained from having a uniform platform for learning self hosting responsibly.

A Raspberry pi isn’t particularly great at any one thing. It’s greatest strength comes in bundling everything you need in a box at an affordable price. Once you know where your pain points are then you can build/design a system that overcomes those shortcomings.

Having a starter kit would be an easy way to get more people in the space. Would it cost $35 of course not. Level1Techs made their KVM to meet their own requirements and then the community benefits. To me, this project has that kind of energy. Or at least the potential for it.

Raspberry pi was able to do it with $35.

Fingers crossed that they get an in game rearview mirror charm

Read the nfo file for directions. Open it with a text editor. You probably missed a step.

I mean yes but that’s like saying Bitcoin is used by criminals to buy drugs and weapons. The problem is that’s not their only use.

Didn’t Steam have skins/themes back in the day?

+1 for yt-dlp

jdownloader2 also works for this

Over the years I have heard stories where Valve closes an account after the owners passing. This is usually because the poster said they had trouble with something and explained that the original owner passed. Valve then responds by closing the account and ignoring the issue.

With that said I don’t think large groups of people can effectively share a library/account because only one person can play at a time. Small groups like spouses, parents, siblings or a small friend group is doable because it is easier to coordinate who is gonna use the account at any given time. This is especially true if they live together.

With the Deck, I have issues where I boot up a game on my living room PC and my Deck closes it’s game making me lose progress on the Deck. Imagine that multiplied 20x. Getting kicked mid match, losing that boss fight, lose your high score, getting left on cliffhanger mid cutscene. The throw your controller rage stuff.

Yes, happens all the time on gog. They don’t have the same library of games but there is an overlap.

It must be hard knowing the employee of the month was a contractor.

Better options have already been mentioned. With that said another option might be torrenting.
