  • Are there really that many games shutting down so soon after release? I know there's a handful of games that basically just flopped out the gate and got canned soon after, but nearly everything I've encountered has run for 5+ years, or at least is in the position to do so if it's not that old yet. Is it just that I'm over in the corner where the games don't suck and I'm out of touch with how things are?

  • What things do you refuse to pirate?
  • I extremely rarely pirate games and software. It's just far too easy an attack vector for malware. The games I want to play are usually worth buying regardless, and free software is good enough for my needs. It isn't a flat out refusal, I've definitely pirated these things, but it's in niche situations where I need to see something specific, and I always check run it under a vm

  • Easy Anti-Cheat: We have investigated recent reports of a potential RCE issue within EAC. At this time - we are confident that there is no RCE vulnerability within EAC being exploited.
  • While I agree that anti-cheat software is spyware, server side moderation by humans would be incredibly costly on the company.

    It would also do a poor job at quickly responding to cheaters. Which is fine in some games, but in more competitive titles, the difference between a cheater getting caught in a round or two and a dozen or so is a big deal, with how many people had games effected.

    My vote is to just not have official servers for games anymore

    Nah, official servers are great for anything competitive, since they provide a single definitive competitive ladder and player base. Nobody gives a fuck about challenger rank 1 on Joe schmoe's home server where it's him and his buddies from school. Not to mention how difficult 8t would be to balance a game with next to no data to use.

  • Given how much of a janky mess the original psvr was, my money is definitely on technical problems in making compatability actually work to an acceptable level for a commercial release. Because the only thing worse than not releasing compatability would be doing it badly, such that increased support issues and development costs would outweigh however many people would buy it.

  • What are the best ways to manage wallpapers on multiple monitors?

    I recently figured out my new setup, but one thing I've been struggling with are my wallpapers. I use 3 monitors, one 21:9 and two 16:9s, one of which is portrait. As a result, my wallpaper situation is messy since wallpapers for one don't work on the others. On my old setup, I just had a big folder of backgrounds I collected over the years set to be a sideshow using the default windows settings, and I'd like to do something similar, but with a specific folder for each monitor. I've tried the steam wallpaper engine, but to do that, I'd have to individually import each background as a new wallpaper which would be far too intensive given the volume.

    McCarthy betrays his voters and the country to give the democrats the spending they want, faces consequences from his party
    www.reuters.com McCarthy vows to survive ouster threat for avoiding shutdown

    Hardline Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz told multiple media outlets he would file a call for a vote to remove McCarthy as speaker, following the passage of a government-funding bill that drew more support from Democrats than Republicans.

    McCarthy vows to survive ouster threat for avoiding shutdown

    We seriously need to get spineless rats unwilling to stand up for anything out of congress and replace them with people actually willing to do anything other than hand the democrats the keys to making the country worse.

    Requesting moderation of an abandoned community

    The sole moderator of this community has not visibily engaged on lemmy for 3 months, either in terms of moderating or contributing, and it's leading to an overall degradation in the community. I'd like to he added as a mod there, at least until the owner comes back, so that the community can be maintained at a decent level.

    Do you prefer inverted or uninverted camera, and what are your experiences with it in general?

    I always find this topic to be really interesting since there's no objectively correct answer, and it tends to be something people have experience with.

    Obviously, the best answer is "let the player pick", but personally, I'm 100% in the inverted camp (both y and x axis, because apparently some maniacs only invert one). I have no idea where I picked up inverted controls, but I've favored them as long as I remember playing games, so I figure some early titles I played had inverted by default, which checks out since I played a lot of vehicle-based games.

    For me, one of the worst experiences is realizing a game I really want to play only supports uninverted camera (or in the case of a couple, only supports inverted y), because it totally demolishes my ability to reasonably play the game with any degree of skill.

    What would be the most proper designation for this tank?

    I get that it's a sort of silly question, but what would be the most proper designation for the ankou team panzer IV at the end of the series? It's usually referred to as a panzer IV ausf. H, because that's the standard it was upgraded to, but I've also seen other things like panzer IV ausf. D mod H, or similar names, so I'm curious what such a vehicle would be referred to officially if it were real, and whether or not such an upgrade was (or could have been) done irl.

    Is lemmy just going to become reddit 2.0?

    The more I use lemmy, the more it begins to just feel like all the same problems reddit had. It has the same problems with major communities having far left moderation standards that only apply to the right, the same hive mind users that just spam the same tired out leftist talking points over and over while refusing anything close to an actual discussion.

    The only upsides are that downvotes aren't used to punish you site wide, and the handful of non-leftist instances that exist, though they always end up defederated by all the major instances, effectively making them poor spaces for general discussion.

    So what are your thoughts? Is this just the "more like under new management" from megamind? Is there hope for it to become a decent platform for everyone, not just the left?

    Edit: yeah, it's just as bad. Fuck the retarded admins and fuck the left

    NYPD Granting Fewer Gun Permits After Supreme Court Ruled It Had To Grant More, Data Shows

    A ghost gun hobbyist who’s fighting charges after building an arsenal in his apartment is hoping the data could help overturn some of the city’s remaining restrictions on guns possession.

    NYPD Granting Fewer Gun Permits After Supreme Court Ruled It Had To Grant More, Data Shows

    To the surprise of nobody, New York City continues to brazenly ignore the constitution. This raises the question, what should be done about corrupt politicians who's reaction to being struck down in court is to double down on their tyranny while directing all their propaganda outlets to try and delegitimize the constitution and the court?
