Setting the default gateway is unnecessary for a network of peers that are already on the subnet. It can only lead to problems as the hosts try to send every request outside their network to 169.254.1.1, which doesn’t even exist in this scenario

The poster you’re replying to is suggesting a static IP in the apipa range, not an apipa assigned ip. You’d already know a static IP because you set it yourself.
This shit is NOT fun and it pisses me off.
Yep sounds like a final fantasy minigame
I had an open world Terminator game back in 93 or 94. You could play Kyle Reese and protect Sarah, or as the Terminator and hunt her. Graphics weren’t great but that fact that you could go anywhere in the city blew my mind at the time
Do you honestly believe that complaining on Lemmy counts as “doing something about it”?
I only know about this thing because of this post. I’m not going to buy it, but do you see that what you’re doing is getting the word out and doing blizzards advertising for them?
It was the characters that killed. They were just so flat and unlikable, they were all like cardboard cutouts of tropes except rinoa and Laguna’s friends. I spent my time helping them win and hoping they’d lose lol
I do love he junction system though, it was brilliant and saved the game for me
I hope they keep squalls dialog

[Who cares?]
[Existence is pain]
Sure, change the only thing I liked about a game with a terrible story and flat unlikable characters, I’ll buy that

Game works fine if you’re on an OS from the last decade
Running an unsupported OS on the public internet is like refusing the covid vaccine and going to work with a fever. Would you listen to someone who does that? I wouldn’t, because any justification they come up with is going to be pants on head stupid.
They’re currently on sale!
functional software was just yanked away
It was updated. It wasn’t yanked away, it still works fine on modern OS’s. It’s silly to assume devs will continue targeting an OS that is out of support and irrelevant. Do you expect it to run on DOS too?
Nevermind that as long as your OS works for gaming
It doesn’t, lmao. That’s what this article is about. Also, if your unsupported OS gets compromised and integrated into a botnet, now your dumb preference is everyone’s problem. You’re the technological equivalent of an anti-vaxxer.
the last properly good version of Windows
8 and 8.1 were significantly more stable and performant than 7 and did not include the ads or spyware that is in 10. They failed because babies didn’t like the way they looked and threw a tantrum about it instead of just installing classicshell.
Cons outweighing the pros doesn’t magically mean there are no pros.
The only pro you’ve mentioned is “I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT”. Rockstar doesn’t give a shit what you want. They want to stop wasting their devs’ time accommodating a dead platform.
That’s a very narrow edge case that only applies to hobbyists. Luckily, those are exactly the sort of people who have the time and motivation to figure out how to get this working. It’s not like being unable to play gta4 on a 15 year old machine is going to negatively affect your life, if you want to play it that bad use a modern machine.
If you’re still on 7 it’s because 10 is a frustrating mess of spyware, failed tablet schemes, and surprise forced updates
If you’re still on 7 it’s because you’re dumb. Move to 10, buy a Mac, switch to Linux, whatever. There’s no valid reason to stay on an unsupported OS on a goddamn gaming rig.
Still - switch to Linux already.
Ubuntu 9.04 released the same year as win 7. It was supported for 5 years, vs win 7’s 14 years. Yet you don’t see anyone bitching and moaning that third party devs aren’t supporting it anymore. Strange, huh?
You’re essentially describing the pixel remaster, which already exists
Win 10 was a free upgrade for what, 4 years? If you’re still on 7 you asked for this.
Technically true but I wouldn’t suggest using a self signed cert on the internet under any circumstances.
Absolutely do not expose your server on port 80. Http is unencrypted, you’d be sending your login credentials in plaintext across the open internet. That is Very Bad™. If you own a domain name, you can set up a letsencypt cert fairly easily for free. Then you could expose 443 and at least your traffic will be encrypted in transit. It won’t solve the other potential issues of exposing your instance like brute force or ddos attacks, but I’d consider it a bare minimum.
If you use a VPN like many others are suggesting it won’t matter as much because the unencrypted traffic never leaves your local network.
You would not. In the example given 169.254.1.1 doesn’t even exist, no machine is listening on that address so it couldn’t possibly do any good if it wanted to
