       compressing some games (mostly, VNs) that I either played already or I would play later to store on backup driveSome compress pretty bad, like 95% ratio, I don't even bother waiting and just use plain TAR for them.But some... listen, if zstd on fast settings can compress your game like 2-3x times, you're doing bad job at compressing assets. And that's VNs, mostly pictures and sometimes voice if we're lucky.

       @a1ba zstd is basically lz, optimal parsing (i think?) and an arithmetic coder. lot of vns like to use png or something. to really crunch them you have to unpack the compression on those or do something [slightly] lossy. :neofox_up_paws:

       @icedquinn I'm surprised that they often don't compress voice lines. like @lanodan noted below, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if it's just uncompressed PCM.As for images, I think there could be done something without hurting the visuals that much.

       @a1ba @lanodan yeah perceptual lossless is a thing. JXL for example has better lossless than png, or can do nearly-lossless, though it will be a lot bigger that way

       @icedquinn @lanodan look how bad it is lmaoarchive.tar : 25.20%   (  2.45 GiB =>    633 MiB, archive.tar.zst)

       @mia @icedquinn @lanodan one of packed games had suspiciously UPPERCASE 8.3 filenames...

       @lanodan @mia @a1ba in the h-game market western games basically have to use renpy. we all just assume the game is going to play like ass otherwise.

       @mia @icedquinn @lanodan have you seen what was on FSN remaster release day?they translated the game but haven't tested it in non-japanese locale environment. So the game loaded random character and background images, which turned out be quite hilarous

       @icedquinn @lanodan @mia they got rid of it's old engine and that's a good thing because it's especially struggling on Wine due to common use of ASLR.

       Slay the Princess is great, but their use of .flac for voices always surprised me. The game should probably not take 12GB of storage space, despite being fully voiced and including a lot of distinct pictures.CC: @a1ba@suya.place

       @vv221 @lanodan thanks I didn't looked in the files of this game when I was playing it

       @vv221 @a1ba Well at least it means you can freely try other codecs.I think the other VNs I played with voicing used lossy codecs, like Kindred Spirits on the Roof (w/ Full Chorus DLC) uses opus, and 407MB worth of it, wow.

       @vv221 @a1ba Also pretty sure I found some bloopers/raw recordings in Heart of the Woods, fun.
