  In this instance not effective is 100% not effective.

  Both kernel and non kernel anti cheat are equally effective in actual practice. In both cases your preventing kids, lazy and low knowledge users from cheating. But anyone who is willing to spend any amount of money to cheat can easily find someone who will provide them with a bypass.

  In both cases the anti cheat is only as good as the on going support from the devs of both the anti cheat and the game.

  You can’t control what a client does end of the day

  That’s how we do.

  I’m a total and absolute 5 no visualization no inner monologue and I absolutely love fiction.

  That guy just doesn’t like fiction. Fiction has plenty of “facts” and events. That make it plenty enjoyable. It’s no different then a nonfiction history book. Just it’s not about earth.

  So his lack of visualization has nothing to do with his dislike of fiction.

  Be just doesnt like it.

  Keep mine. It really does depend on tests. A lot of the online tests start with a negative offset to account for paying. So a 160 you would typically add anywhere from 30 to 60 on average. The better online tests will actually run a short ping test in jitter test to set the offset more accurately. Most though don’t and just use a fixed value.

  My rule of thumb is most of the time the devs just slap a 50 in there surround number and it kind of covers most bases. So a 160 would be a 210. Which for a test where you can do it repeatedly and be hyper fixated on knowing what you’re doing. You can get pretty damn close to 200, not reliably but that’s going to be like you’re 1% best result which is what people f****** posting.

  Like for example, my best results in these sort of tests accounting for offsetter between 190 and 210. But that’s like one in 50 tries. Where my normals closer to like like 230.

  And usually I have like a 10 millisecond variance on my average tries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forever young⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, all you actually would need to do is just go to the steam survey, check what the most common hardware is.

  Cuz all you got to do is test against that. As if your response time for example is in the top 10% of people. When your baseline is the most common hardware available then you’re in at worst the top 10% of people. Reaction speed changes depending on task just as much as it does on hardware.

  Like personally, I take a reaction test using the most common steam hardware and I’m looking at about 150 milliseconds response time by doing it on my normal hardware which is many times faster. In refresh rate it only shaves like two milliseconds off average and it fluctuates just as much. Like two milliseconds off average and it fluctuates just as much.

  I even have a little like toy thing that I picked up one day years ago that tests reaction time using a mechanical device. Testing it. It’s within about 5 to 10 milliseconds of variation off of what most digital online tests that I can find.

  And it within margin of error shows exactly the same amount of reaction speed that the online tests show.

  So they’re accurate enough at least within a handful of milliseconds.

  The toys basically just a taser and two people grip a thing. Whoever grips and clicks the thing faster doesn’t get tased its rather fun.

  I almost always win even against my younger cousins and step Brothers who are as young as 12. So my 35 year old ass still has it!

  Just don’t ask me to have any amount of reaction speed with my legs. Probably try and kick something. I will miss it. By a mile. 3 hours after you threw it.

  I’m happy I’m still pull a avg 140-160ms reaction time at 35.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forever young⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Depending on genre the avg age of players has literally just kept going up.

  Gaming as we knew it is kinda dying. There’s no new blood into a lot of genres.

  MMOs, strategy, mobas etc as some great examples. The avg age of players is like 30+ cause the genres either arnt popular anymore or they went to mobile.

  Mobile gaming has basically gutted the pipeline for new PC and console gamers.

  As a kid there use to be plenty of folk from 10 to 40 playing wow or what ever hot new mmo was just released

  Nowadays you would be hard pressed to find someone under 25.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MAGA, splitting hairs.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Or just be accurate and call them a rapist. A child rapist.

  Pedophile already is a weakened word. Both cause it gets over used, and because it does have an actual accurate use case that doesn’t accurately describe what’s happened.

  Accurate terminology is always more powerful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MAGA, splitting hairs.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  pedophile, hebephile and ephebophile, are after all just terms for someone with a sexual attraction disability. Typically due to a hormonal issue, trauma or mental disability.

  A child rapist is someone who fucks minors and should be locked up for life if not put down. With a list of exceptions that a reasonable person can count on one hand.

  While no one reasonable goanna call two high school seniors fucking when ones 17 and the other is two months older at 18. A child rapist.

  A fat old fuck doing it sure the fuck is.

  We should really start calling things by what they are and not misusing terminology. Makes it less impactful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MAGA, splitting hairs.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the many reasons it’s impossible to have an honest and mature discussion on the topic. No one cares to actually be accurate with terminology just because it’s “icky”

  Now if only we could also get research funding on the topic that doesn’t have a billion strings attached to the researchers or the results being locked away forever because no one wants their name attached.

  Or the best one peer review being basically impossible on the topic.

  It’s such a huge problem.

  As long as it’s a 3xxx or 4xxx Nvidia card honestly its just as good as Nvidia now as long as you arnt being dumb and trying to use Debian or mint or something that has a massively out of date kernel on a new laptop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming Laptop with Linux Preinstalled and 32GB+ RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Your option is basically only framework if you want good hardware.

  If you don’t mind low end stuff then you have plenty of options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming Laptop with Linux Preinstalled and 32GB+ RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally every higher end laptop gets called a gaming laptop… It’s a nothing term. Even the absolute least flashy laptop with no RGB and is basically just a glorified Thinkpad with a 4080 mobile in it gets called a gaming laptop just cause of the 4080.

  Saying don’t buy a gaming laptop basically means you can’t buy literally any good high end hardware full stop.

  It’s a short sighted and frankly stupid piece of advice that just hurts people.

  The Alienware bit tho, that’s spot on. 100% fuck em.

  You are part of a infinitesimally small group of people. The vast majority need banking and NFC. It’s basically the two single most important features for the vast majority of people using cell phones with GPS maps being the closest third.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when Valve releases a phone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If a phone can’t do banking it’s literally a worthless brick and so unprofitable that a company would have to be actively suicidal to try to produce it at literally any scale above the absolute minimum.

  That or it would have to be so absurdly expensive per unit that no one would buy it.

  Or spec it so pathetically weak that even the most die hard of nerds wouldn’t want it.

  There’s always selling it at a fat loss of course. But selling hardware isn’t like just doing a rom. So this can’t be as shitty or jank as android roms with no formal customer support behide it.

  Which means a very high cost in software and support.
