You misspelled “StarCraft 1” so bad.
You can play HotS without Battle.net, you’ll just have to input your credentials manually whenever you start the game. Alternatively, contrary to Steam, you can just kill Battle.net after it has updated and launched the game.
I’ve used VLC for an incredibly long time, until I found about mpv about two weeks ago. It’s both a lot lighter and packs a lot more utility. I can finally frame step backwards and see millisecond timestamps! The only downside is that you have to do a bit of tinkering with all the configs and plugins, but it’s so worth it.
Not to invalidate the point made, but…
While Japanese indeed uses question marks, you can get screwed if you think that every sentence without a question mark at the end is not a question. For example, this is a grammatically correct question:

rand()
generates a number from 0 to a constant defined in stdlib, which usually corresponds to the architechture of your compiler. So, for 32 bit systems (assuming all the software in the line is 32 bit, too) it will be 2^31-1 = 2 147 483 647, as 1 bit in integers is reserved for negative numbers and 1 number is 0.
Though, by design it is guaranteed to be at least 32767, which is a value for 16 bit integers.
Apple products are usually easy to use and hellishly restrictive, preventing the dum-dum user from breaking it. Phones that run under Android allow for much more customization and utility, to the point you can “soft lock” your OS.
Apple is less functional, easy to use, hard to break (software-wise, at least). Android is more functional, though requires skills to get to the functionality and not break anything.
Meaning those with the skills use Android. Thus, skill issue.
Except rethrowing an exception in C# is just throw;
, anything else is a crime against the person who reads your stacktraces.
Skill issue.
Or you can just use it via Termux.
If you want to try a simpler MOBA, try Heroes of the Storm. The game does not get any love from Blizzard anymore, but out of all the MOBA’s I know, it has the least minimal knowledge required to play.
MOBA as a genre didn’t come from WC3. There were quite a lot of predecessors to DotA, both in WC3 itself and in first StarCraft, namely Aeon of Strife is believed to be the first popular MOBA custom map out there.
Blizzard didn’t decide that quirks of WC3 engine are dumb. Yes, they wanted to make a simpler MOBA, but the main reason for lack of funny stuff from WC3 is that they used Galaxy engine for the game, the same one StarCraft 2 was built upon.
And HotS feels less complex not because of Galaxy’s vs WC3’s quirks (the former has plenty, too), but because of lack of gold and shop, shared experience and an actual tutorial at the beginning of the game.
No shit, they said “hidden”.
Even with disabled autoupdates, the launcher itself still tries to update on my end. Fixed it the barbaric way, by clearing the contents of that pesky folder and doing
sudo chmod a-rwx Battle.net.14542
Laughs in WarCraft III: Reforged
As far as I know, Minecraft itself is avaliable for download publicly, you don’t even need to patch it to play. You just need to supply it some fake account data and tell it to work offline.
No official servers support, of course, but that’s about it.
The funny thing is, this mechanism came from Mojang, and at this point they can’t even do anything about it. If they stop providing downloads without an account or implement some anti-piracy features, people will just use the latest official version and mod it. And it may be not even the latest one, there are tons of players on 1.7.10 and 1.12.2, just because modders love them.
Sure, they can try and push their Bedrock version… But nobody is playing on that piece of crap.
I believe you can remove (default) with -disposition:stream 0
so, if you have three subtitle tracks, all marked as default, and you want only second with that mark, you’d do something like this:
ffmpeg -i input.mkv -c copy -disposition:s:0 0 -disposition:s:2 0 output.mkv
And if you want to mark a stream as default, you do -disposition:stream default
.
I assume it creates some sort of save file in the current working directory?
You may try changing the working directory via batch script, if you’re on Windows.
Make a text file, name it something like launch.bat
(the actual name may be whatever you want, just make sure you leave the extention .bat
)
Paste this there:
@echo off
cd /d "%~dp0"
start "" "game.exe"
Be sure to replace game.exe
with your game’s .exe
filename. Don’t delete any double quotes, they are important.
Put this text file near .exe
file of your game, and make a shortcut of it to your desktop. You may rename a shortcut and choose an icon from your game’s .exe
file to make it pretty.
After that just launch the shortcut as you normally would. If I’m correct, the game should create it’s .bin
file in the script directory and not in your desktop.
