sad and amazing how true this is.

to find anything worthwhile in Google search you often needed to add site:reddit.com

to find anything at all on Reddit you needed Google

well, glad I don't go to those websites anymore...

there are a few of us still bodging around out here.

I'm curious if anyone has experience with this stuff with an AMD card.

If I could finally ditch my windows gaming rig I would be a happy man.

people really enjoy the boot of anti-cheat on their necks.

maybe these companies could move their cheat detection to the server where they control the code. maybe don't just send all player positions so wall-hacks become impossible. maybe use some machine learning to look at input patterns and detect when a player is sending things that don't look human.

the list of things companies could do to actually fix cheating in pvp games is long and all they want to do is pay for ridiculous anti-cheat that impacts normal users.

ridiculous.

Anti-cheat on the client should be an anti-pattern. Devs continue to make the mistake of imagining you can control the code running on someone else's device and waste their efforts there instead of working more on the server (preventative) or analysis (punitive) side.

The lack of religion isn't a religion. What is so difficult about this for the religious to grasp?

At this point does Google ever do anything that isn't awful for the consumer?

Eject, friend, eject!

I'm not sure who you're arguing with. I was trying to make sure people aren't handing out respect and trust willy nilly.

I guess I need to clarify that you give courtesy until and unless someone gives you an obvious reason not to. I thought that would be assumed and understood, guess that's on me.

Courtesy should always be given. Respect and trust are earned.

this is how the fediverse starts to take over and I am here for it

Did you skip the second sentence of my comment?

Am I religious if I say there isn't a marble at the table? Or a walnut? I don't see one, I have no reason to believe one is there, based on how the world works elsewhere there isn't anything there.

But you're telling me I need to faith to avoid these beliefs in small generally round objects. I say it is you who is using faith to assume the existence of one particular type of thing there and you're claiming I am the person operating without any evidence.

It's ridiculous.

 

Dream, vision, portent or parable?

 

In the interests of growing the community here, here's a thread to toss out suggestions.

I'll start with a handful of my own:

I'd like to propose expanding to a handful of moderators so there's no single point of failure, to lighten the load, and to grow the community through their connections (any ex-reddit daddit mods here? they would be my first nominations.)

We should probably have our community description updated with a blurb and a short list of rules.

It also seems like magazines can have logos. Perhaps people could reply below with potentials and the mod(s) could choose one?
