  Yes, this is the obvious workaround. I was trying to explain why ‘they can’t just roll back’ and why i don’t believe they have the setup to do it automatically

  Wow didn’t have the same problem. In 2006 you didn’t have instant microtransactions, which in turn unlock in game currency, which then can be spent. This is a chain of events which would normally be handled by an event database if it were to be made easy to roll back. You can imagine it working much like a ctrl+z undo, it’s a stack of events which is deterministic and can be played back, forward or from a specific time. In theory you would identify the malicious transactions, roll back the actual database and then replay without them. Why they don’t do it? This is an incredible amount of overhead engineering with no value to be sold to the VPs of the company/project leads. It’s basically insurance for an edge case. It would also cost them much more money/server resources in addition to the traditional database they also have to run in parallel for all other functionality. It’s such a hard sell for a company who’s only interest is the bottom line.

  You can’t just roll back the database, you have to also replay any legitimate transactions between the last snapshot and now, and that’s a whole other can of worms which I don’t expect a game server would be prepared to handle out of the box

  The crazy bit is how far north Europe is, relative to the climate we get. Almost everywhere else this far north is freezing

  What did the primeagen do? Haven’t been keeping up with his stuff for a while. I remember he gave me American Christian conservative vibes but I’ve never heard him taking political stances (outside of the prevalent pro capitalism typical for the region)

  At this size I imagine you’d have to worry about the fan generating enough force to start tilting and falling without proper support

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The absolute low of this for me is that I’ve noticed people censoring the word ‘porn’. You’re obscuring the word that describes the already censored thing, why censor the word itself? It’s not even a swear word (which to me don’t make much sense in censoring in the first place)

  I’ve modded it on Linux, it’s not much different or more difficult. There’s an article how to set it up here

  In my head canon that was an evil laugh and no one can convince me otherwise.

  I think this highlights the big problem with Op’s question: it’s not all about plot, character development can be as satisfying and as important even if the world objectively doesn’t change.

  There’s no fullproof way. Even if you somehow block every crawling automation, there’s still puppeteering where the bot behaves just like a normal user.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A big announcement from Skill Up (new website)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who works for a paywallled website, that’s hardly a deterrent. If the site is important enough, they will pay for accounts and crawl until the server melts

  The problem is not the functionality, it’s the business model.
