And I play on EU servers, which by all accounts is rampant with cheaters.

[@raynjpg]

making dennis part of the sponsor/ad team was an excellent decision

[@ku0n349]

About the generational differences. Like 3 years ago I saw my brother (12 at the time) work on a school project on Google docs with his friends all at the same time and it was then when it hit me. If my parents at that age had to work on a school project, they had to go to a friends house or stay after school or everyone do their part and put together the project at school. When I had to do the same, we would just use email and send the same document edited back and forth just putting together our parts. And then my brother just works on it with his classmates all at the same time... It's honestly impressive how you don't even notice when things change, but when you less realize it, they have been like that for a while

Luke talking about how he didn't get scammed but realized that it's expensive to run a restaurant made me think about when I hired someone to construct/place a door at the bottom of my stairs and seal all the open space between the steps. It cost me around 2000 euros, but the material and the door he had to buy to build it all cost about 800 euros, so he actually "only" earned 1200 euros at most.

Permanent Anti-Cheat Idea: That might or might not work at all, but would be hilarious to watch the aftermath. Say a confirmed cheater is found in a shooter game. Instead of banning them. Force update their game with a wonky patch. Just a tiny bit of permanent coding that stays with their system buried somewhere deep in the config, personal, or game files that forces their cross hair to drift away from other players. Like anti magnetic bullets. Hide the file, and log the i.p./system. I dunno. Just sounds fun lol

[@stiller_mensch]

My idea: when a cheater is detected his matchmaking changes, that he only plays against other cheaters.

[@hop-skip-ouch8798]

There's a youtuber who does that in a way. He makes fake cheating software and uploads them for people to download. When someone runs those scripts, instead of helping, they hurt the player. Character points up on fire, turns around, can't run etc.

I've started watching while I'm at the gym but I don't exactly spend 4 hours at the gym so I have to pause then finish at home (sometimes I'll play a game while watching). Today I ended up spending a bit over 2 hours at the gym, the first hour I walk the treadmill (fast enough that I'm already soaked in sweat by the end) then the rest of the time I'll work on either leg, upper body push, or upper body pull muscles (today was a pull day). Can't go very often so I try to go hard enough to make it worth it. I used to watch while taking a walk (about 1.5 hours) but here in Ohio we don't get exactly get warm and not rainy weather most of the year (same reason I haven't bought a motorcycle, hard to justify when I can't enjoy it most of the year).

No forms of online play available), and the creators of SPT saw an influx of new players aswell.

@@BatJeff They have never liked SPT and as far as I know, it have always been bannable. But they cant tell if people are using it, since it runs a local hosted "server" for each raid and have its own launcher. Only way for them to know (according to BSG), is having both SPT and offical EFT running at the same time. So thats a big no no. And yeah, its completely insane. If anything, BSG should reach out to the SPT folks and get them on board to create a official Single player / Co-op mode to EFT. They lose nothing but open up another market for the game.

I started taking care of myself at the age of 14 and about ten years later have gotten a new job almost yearly since then. I think its because places of work are always trying to save money and dont pay what we are qualified for, I am sure some others can relate. A good example, at my current job I am getting 18 h/r have gone to college, business programs, received certifications and have worked for ten years while a kid out of highschool I work with gets the same pay and benefits as me.

[@grn1]

I'm getting 17.50 per hour at a dead end factory job (the people are nice and the company is pretty lax overall but I don't see myself retiring from it). I run a press, no certifications or external education, just a few too many years working at factories. Need to get my act together and find a more fulfilling job but I also keep seeing a lot of post like yours talking about how they make barely more than I do (sometimes less) with a ton of education (and probably a ton more debt). Still want a more fulfilling job, or at least one where I can sit on my arse and not handle toxic chemicals and breath toxic fumes for preferably 36-40 hours a week. I've thought about going into business for myself but that's also quite scary and I know the hours could be worse rather than better though I'd have a better shot at making enough money to actually retire by the age of 100 (assuming I'm still alive and kicking). Also not sure what business I'd go into for myself but I'm not getting any younger (and I wish I'd done something more when I was young).

[@ApeBlin]

I have a college degree and my current job doesn't have anything to do with it and I get paid a lot more than what I was paid for at the job I got because of said degree. What a weird situation.

Tarkov should have a replay system for entire matches after they close. Real time kill cams don't work for a game like Tarkov. An end of match replay is no problem at all aside from working out the logistics of access and distribution.

just wanna mention it that, Bungie with Sony and Riot have been going after cheaters and cheat makers to great effect, Bungie has won 3 lawsuits against cheat makers totaling well over several 100 million dollars. while no system is perfect, i think what they're doing is pretty great, basically you're banned if you're caught cheating, playing with cheaters, boosted by a cheater, etc.

[@grn1]

I think more publishers need to sue cheat makers though I'm sure a good chunk of cheat makers are located in places that just don't care (China, Russia, ect). I've heard Microsoft is able to effectively disconnect a lot of servers if they do something nefarious (MS owns a lot of internet infrastructure including nodes and certificate stores) though there are limits on that and they have to be careful not to get on the wrong side of law enforcement (some judges probably wouldn't care if they were doing what's right if it somehow causes them to lose money or they just don't understand how things work and are scared).

I think the screwdriver holster is a neat idea, but I think there are relatively very few people who need or want to walk around all day with a screwdriver on their hip. There would be a huge boom of sales initially, but slowly people would start to realize that it's just not that practical for enough people to make it worth it.

[@hg-ir8tb]

I'm pretty sure someone already commented on this, but there are different competitions you can do for DDR. Based on my limited knowledge of the scene, there's straight up scoring (something like Konami Arcade Championship) for both single and double(-pad). There are also freestyle events for both single and double and duet freestyle events that take into consideration score/difficulty/creativity as well. Also, there are other dancing rhythm games as well, with Pump being a common parallel to DDR, Dancerush Stardom getting more popular (to the point where it landed on one of the GDQs), and Dance aRound also starting to show up in Round1's (in the USA, at the very least).

There's a game out called The Cycle, that takes a lot of inspiration from Tarkov in its systems. I don't think it has a replay system, but it does have a post-match map where it shows your route through the map, your engagements with NPCs and players, and also "close calls" where you came within relative proximity to another player but you and them did not engage.

Over the last 5 - 10 years I have been dropping tons of games due to cheating. I started playing Halo 1 on PC when it came out and had a blast for almost 10 years playing it. While it did have cheaters, they weren't common and were very obvious and easy to deal with. When Halo 1 started to die down I ended up playing TF2, Battlefield 2, 2142, and counter strike but every single one I dropped within a few months due to cheating. I started playing PUBG with some friends and it was great at the start, then they added free loot crates you can get with coins earned by playing and it got plagued by cheaters (mostly Chinese crate farmers unfortunately, since more kills/wins = more coins). It has gotten to the point where I've quit playing any remotely competitive shooters, there are no fun ones anymore. No one likes getting shot in the head by someone on the other side of the map every other game when the player render distance isn't even half that distance. The only competitive games I play now are Rocket League and LoL where cheating isn't as common, but its still an issue to some extent (smurfs). The majority of my games are now Singleplayer or Multiplayer PvE games like KSP (KSP2 now), Warframe, FO76, 7D2D, and Payday 2 because I know that any multiplayer shooter is going to eventually be plague by cheaters and investing time or money in them is a complete waste.

[@Mrfreshhalli]

Try playing hunt showdown. In my experience there are way less cheaters in the game.

Speaking of moats and protecting your business, as long as you stay true to your current mission of being truthful and not selling out, your barriers to entry will protect you, but the moment you sell out, the floodgates will open. I am not saying that you will sell out, but if you do that's what'll happen. Love that you guys do proper reviews, and the whole labs thing where you will thoroughly poke holes in the lies of marketing with data is great!

[@mattecrystal6403]

They should make it so that you can report people right away in game, but the report is not officially posted. Instead it will put that person into a personal report queue for you that can be viewed in a reported players tab. Then after reviewing replay footage you should be able to more accurately determine if it looks like the person was actually cheating or not and choose if you want to actually send the report or cancel it. This would make reports far more accurate, people who are just angry and report someone are less likely to send junk data because they need to take time out of their day at a later time in order to fully send the report. Then also the game should implement some sort of small incentive for reports that resulted in action taken.

[@JimmySquiky]

That's a good idea.

[@jo54763]

This, and make it mandatory to watch the whole thing through (a few minutes before your death) before you can scrub through it to examine... or at least mandatory to watch X amount of time of footage. Would dramatically decrease unbased reports.

[@mattecrystal6403]

​@@jo54763 simply forcing them to go to a report tab later and at least open the replay should be more that enough. Forcing them to watch the entire thing would make nobody actually make reports. people want to play the game not spend all day trying to make a report that they are sure about after 5 seconds of watching the replay.

I find the way Luke and Linus describing DDR kind of funny, especially when they pulled up an ancient video of a not very difficult Pump it Up video. I personally think DDR would be interesting in 2 different styles: one where its how luke and linus described, along the lines of freestyle where you have a routine that is voted on. The other style would just be the versus mode already built in, where both players play the same chart and the score is decided by the in-game score

[@grn1]

It would be really cool if the Olympics (or any large company) got behind StepMania (and didn't try to add DRM bs to it). I just watched a StepMania showcase the other day (the AGDQ 2023 one) and those guys are truly insane with what they can do.

That's how it's done in PIU tournaments including the WPF (World PIU Festival, its official worldwide tournament).

The amount of cheating in so many multiplayer games is honestly why I tend to play singleplayer RPGs when I play by myself. If I want to play a multiplayer game, I want the competition and the feeling of victory and accomplishment (and obviously I'm playing with friends). I can't enjoy that feeling when I know that potentially 50-75% of the enemy team may be cheating at any given time, and as such I don't enjoy it. Plain and simple

The thing about "millenial pause," "quiet quitting," and various other terminology is that its someone somewhere is trying to make these things that separate us. In reality theyre simple things based on the eras we grew up in, inherent differences. Millenial pause is just, "we grew up with unreliable tech." Quiet quitting is not overworking yourself for a job that refuses to pay you better, accommodate its employees, takes the customer's side because its easier to give them what they demand than stand your ground, and various other unfavorable expectations BUT you cant outright quit because you still need a job to survive (barely).

@luke: sounds like condensation at the evaporator coil. If so, it's not broken, it's physics. The fix is either a channel/hose to get rid of the water or a dehumidifier that always runs. If the evaporator is parallel with the ceiling, in may need to be propped at an angle so the condensation can run together for the aforementioned channel. Alternatively, let it run with a target temperature for a few days and capture the drippings. Once the drippings stop, they're likely to be rare or nonexistent moving forward, until you shut off the AC again. -guy who likes cold air
