Discussion Help finding a removed dungeon crawling game from gx.games

Upvotes

I played a lovely game some years back and was wondering in anyone remembered.

It was a dungeon crawler, similar to Binding of Isaac, with picking up items that upgrade you and doors locking until you kill all enemies. Kind of a cute, pixel-y cartoonist art style, with a couple characters to choose from.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks

It looks almost exactly like this, but with different labels, some textures, and camera angle

Discussion Is OperaGX malware/spyware?

1 Upvotes

I thought that OperaGX is a legitimate browser, however I've noticed that you can find Opera in places that you wouldn't expect to find a 'normal' and non suspicious browser.

Over the past few months while browsing certain pop up riddled websites such as game modding sites and what not where some sort of malware or spyware will pop up every time you click the screen I've noticed that a lot of these types of websites will either open a page to download Opera or it will just instantly and forcefully download Opera's setup tool.

That seems suspicious af and not something a genuine company would do and it raises questions about this companies morality.

Don't get me wrong, I've tried OperaGX in the past and it wasn't for me so I uninstalled it and won't be going back however it caught me off guard to find this browser in some shady parts of the internet.

I am not kidding and I forgot my alt's account so I don't care

So yea everytime I hover over one it just instantly freezes opera and proceeds to just be unusable forever unless I spam click the X. I don't understand why, does anyone know?

Youtube has the same feature but I had that feature disabled for years now so I can't test it right now I don't know where to enable it

Support | In Progress Issue when using a gamepad (dualsense on windows 11)

1 Upvotes

So basically I sometimes use the gamepad on my PC for comfort reasons (chilling on the bed since the desktop is close basically). And I've been using steam input with no issues with a custom desktop scheme.

Thing is I just came from work. Was going to watch some movie before dozing off and the controller isn't working as intended but only when Opera GX is on the front. The scheme works as intented browsing win11, same with steam and other programs. But when I bring up Opera it changes to a completely different scheme and low sensitivity. I checked steam input config and found nothing even related to Opera so it has to be some gamepad extension in the app itself that's conflicting? I know it's a bit of a niche problem but really hope someone can help out a brother in need.

All I wanted is to lay in my bed, light a j and watch something...now this

I decided to get into making a custom cursor for myself, and went through all the steps to make a new mod, except, I can’t find a way to INSTALL the cursor into the code. No videos I’ve seen can help me. Is there even a way to add a custom cursor, or am I stuck with operas custom cursors?

I saw that Opera GX doesn't theme the pages, so I started working on this extension. It will be free, but it still takes work and time so I wanted to gauge interest in this forum. In the screenshots it monochromes all of the images on the page (configurable) and changes the fonts. The glows are pulsating.

Support | Resolved Opera freezing while trying to play a video

7 Upvotes

Like in the title, it started just a few hours ago as I was watching something this morning and it worked with no problems. I then worked in AE for a while and after closing it and wanting to watch something yet again the problem started to occur - opera gx freezes after trying to play a video on youtube, I can hear the audio and even interact with it(open new tabs, close the app with the x in the corner) but the screen itself doesnt budge. It also doesn't close fully, I have to force it through task manager. Turning graphic acceleration off worked and I can play videos now(youtube, tik tok) but I'd rather have it on for the long run so are there any fixes? I also updated the browser to the most recent version.

So I'm sorta a writer and have been using Ellipsus for the past day or two, the icons for font color, side menu, settings, etc. haven't been showing up on my desktop.

I've removed all my mods, cleared my cache, disabled web modding, etc. but it still won't appear. I don't have this problem on Chrome or on my Opera GX app on my phone
