As the other commenter mentioned you can add games to steam as a non steam game to launch it via that. With pirated games I’m more than happy to launch from an icon though, it isn’t the actual method of launching that bothers me as much as it does making different bs accounts from these shitty companies.
Rockstar forces its own launcher if you want a legit copy but I’m guessing a pirate version will circumvent this.
Seen as they are adding a proper offline option, does anyone know if I can launch this straight from steam or do I need another shitty launcher with another account?
edit never mind it says requires 3rd party account, in which case even for such a price you can get fucked
After working for 10 years on 3 days a week and then another 5 doing 4 days a week the last few years of working a 5 day a week job has been the most miserable adjustment of my life. I’ve still not fully come to terms with how much of my time is ruined by working.
Yeh, sadly not. Otherwise I’d still be running one now!
Looking at it you would think not but I’m a big guy, so have fairly large hands, and I found it super comfortable to type on. It was designed and made in a way that gave a really positive typing experience whilst minimising incorrect key presses despite having tiny ass keys.
Nah BlackBerry Keytwo.
Great form factor
Well built
Great keyboard
Amazing software that made the use experience smooth and quick with keyboard shortcuts and the like.
Headphone jack
It had a camera if you are into that kind of shit xP
You and me both man, I have a system and a workflow for tagging and adding new music that kind of works for me but it is convoluted and not optimal mainly due to the software. I really liked lexicon though and for what I wanted to do it served me really well so I’d recommend at least checking it out as an option.
I have just played around for about 45 minutes and so far it is really promising to be honest. My controller had a mapping already built in that just needed to be selected along with my audio routing options, everything that I regularly use seemed to be working as expected on the controller, including the preview function which I didn’t expect.
The screens and the motorised jog wheels on the controller don’t seem to be implemented in any way but I don’t care about the motorised wheels and the screens aren’t exactly essential, just nice to have.
I pointed it at my music library and it scanned through it, ready to play in around 10 minutes (13500 tracks) which compared to traktor and serato is blindingly fast xD
It seemed to read the majority of my tags the way I have them set up just from looking at it quickly and it read my traktor collection file without me even pointing it to it so I had all my playlists with no hassle what so ever.
There are quite a few options with different skins etc so I need to sit down and have a proper look through stuff as the main things I didn’t like with this initial try were visual based things just from where I’m used to things being a certain way. These are all things I can get used to having differently over time anyway bit there are also plenty of settings I didn’t look into so I may be able to change it to be more familiar anyway.
Overall it was up and running quickly and easily. No fucking about with anything really, just set my controller and audio routing in options and I could pretty much have played straight away.
I’d give it a try if i were you, I’m going to delve into it deeper over the weekend I think and see what options I have but so far so good!
Yeah both serato and trakor from my experience are a bit like that in terms of “fuck you we are doing this” approach to their software.
I have just given it a quick 45 minute try (so not exhaustive) but unfortunately I don’t think it is where you want it right now. My motorised platters do not work with it that I can see and I cannot find any mention of stems, it isn’t something I use so I’m not that familiar with it.
The mapping on my controller seems to be pretty decent and the stems button I have does nothing so I’m guessing it isn’t a feature yet to have any kind of implementation :(
;)
Have you tried lexicon? I have had good results with that and it helped me a lot recently when I decided I was going to go through and reorganise my ~14000 tracks.
I’m going to try it out (all be it within a windows environment) later on today so I’ll report back and let you know how I find it.
Won’t you miss the amazing traktor library management? XD
I think the last time I tried it was around that time frame too so good to hear that and that your traktor info seems to have been read properly.
I have an S4 mk3 which i see is specifically mentioned on the link OP provided as now being fully supported out the box so I’m going to install it on windows and give it a try tonight I think to see how it is now.
Will be amazing if everything just works right out of the box without having to fuck around with libraries!
Ah yeah, traktor is on there, thanks for the link!
Hopefully this update will be good to move over to for me and get away from windows! :D
Oooo one of the main things stopping me from coming over to Linux is the fact that one of my primary uses is djing, currently I use traktor and have tried mixxx in the past but haven’t really got on with it.
Definitely going to give this a go to see how it has improved as I haven’t tried it out for a few years and maybe I can finally make the shift away from windows!
Anyone have any experience of bringing libraries / playlists across to mixxx from other software?
I’m an expert on one-armed Herdazian jokes. ‘Lopen,’ my mother always says, ‘you must learn these to laugh before others do. Then you steal the laughter from them, and have it all for yourself.’ She is a very wise woman.
I do, also funny how conservative government affiliates and past if not present family members own the largest cannabis farms within the UK. It is almost as if they have other motives too…
I was reading your response knowing I definitely remember the whole “Talk to frank” campaign but couldn’t recall any of the adverts. That one I definitely remember as soon as it started though!
I think the SNAP one I mentioned was a precursor to the frank campaign and was a lot more negative leaning than this. At least this acknowledges that it isn’t all negative, still fucking pathetic that this country still won’t legally let me go and buy my fucking weed though.
I don’t know if it will help with your search but the UK equivalent (at least where I grew up) was not DARE but SNAP, which stood for Say No And Phone. It was your usual anti drugs propaganda encouraging people to snitch on others when offered drugs as well.
It wasn’t pushed super hard as I only remember a couple of intentionally disingenuous talks full of lies and scare tactics and a few “discos” that pushed the same bs. I don’t ever remember anything about it on TV and I get the impression our anti drug propaganda was a lot more half hearted than the US equivalent DARE.
This was in the late 90s and early 00s.
In an alternate universe I’d be stoked for a Blackberry KeyThree, in reality though absolutely nothing.
Bad Company 2 was peak, it has been all downhill from there!
