  • I'd argue the most effective anticheat is dedicated servers. Admin'ed a lot of CS, TFC, and Q3 servers growing up and it was easy enough to kick/ban any one hacking or being an unrepentant dick. Downside for the corps is, you can't gate all that dlc as easy when users have control.

  • Great, now I have the song stuck in my head. Going to be mumbling about golden retrievers all day. 🤣

  • Wow, hit me right in the gen-x doomer with a nice sense of humor.

    Nice shot.

  • Theres no drink option other than overly hoppy IPA (gross, I know, but it is the pnw) and likely salmon on some mixed greens.

  • X-Files song is a banger. Sequence goes to Westworld.

    I think Munsters is a close 2nd for song.

  • Highly recommend this mod / .INI fix for Steam Deck (and all systems honestly).

    The forced Lumen tanks frame rates even on my 5080.

  • Picked this up on deep discount for ps5... what an incredible slog the intro is. We're talking 30+ minutes before you have any control over the PC. Then, it's a protracted tutorial with instafail stealth sections.

    I'm not an avatar fan, only saw the first movie, but man, I could not get in to this game at all. It just felt padded for the sake of it. This coming from someone who generally enjoys the UbiSoft formula (100% all Far Cry's since 2).

    If you pick it up, be sure to fire it up before the refund window closes.

  • Jesse Plemons fully armored out

    "Yeah, but what kind of Tarnished are you?"

  • It was surprisingly good. Not life changing but they had some messages and themes that they wanted to convey and did so pretty damn well.

    Gets a little ahead of itself in moments but honestly, there are tons of far worse films released every year.

  • Wrote a paper for one of my finals in college on the efficacy of these. Havent thought of the project for probably 15+ years.

    It really was a fantastic idea, always hoped it would catch on but alas, the Chromebook took over in education spaces thanks to subsidies from Google for the data collection.

  • Pronounced - Coon-tea-ay

  • Was the soldered CMOS different than the removable one? I fought the battery (removable) in mine for a year or two and eventually just shelved it. Would love to get it running as a low energy emulation station if it's salvageable

  • First time long time here. Does Pete see the cost of Schweddy Balls going up with current market conditions for North American farmers?

  • Also, my friend Houndstooth Bowie

  • So, dropped this in a friendly meme thread and ended up with myself Solid Steele And my buddy Fuzzy Static. One gpt pass later and this abomination was birthed.

  • 4v1 asymetrical has long ago ruined any chances of a legacy franchise horror game.

    I hate this style of gameplay. It encourages min/maxing, griefing and requires YouTube strat watching. I am too old for all that shit. I just want to play a decently made (quality here can match the movies honestly) b-tier game in these worlds I grew up loving. Instead, I try these things at launch when they're buggy but still have some equality as the player base hasn't gone full toxic and then by the time they're patched and stable, its full of sweats or dead.

    By now we've burned through Evil Dead, Killer Klowns, Texas Chainsaw and Friday the 13th chasing Dead by Daylight money.

    What a fucking waste of dev resources. All it's done is make each and everyone of those potentially great franchises for story telling appear too unprofitable for suits to jump in again..likely never on some of them.

  • This is an interesting read. Had a chance to visit Newgrange and a few other sites last year around this time. The theories are fascinating especially in light of them not being that old in the grand scheme of things.

    BTRFS migration from Unraid to Proxmox

    Hi all,

    It's been a long... years at work and my brain is fried currently with no bandwidth to properly determine how to migrate a BTFRS array from unraid over to proxmox. I can see the array in proxmox and am able to mount it but now I cannot for the life of me figure out how to

    1. verify that the data is intact
    2. assign it to a storage pool for use in vm's
    3. view it within proxmox

    I haven't touched proxmox in years after settling on unraid a while back, but am looking to move back to a non-unraid config.

    Anyone here have experience with btfrs and proxmox? Any good links to a tutorial or video?

    Thanks!

    Alternative to Requestarr for *arr Stack User Requests

    cross-posted from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/29831606

    Hey all,

    I've been using requestarr via Discord for the past year or so to have a remote user request option for my *arr stack.

    Looking to move away from Discord completely and have been having trouble finding an alternate that would run on a more FOSS or secure platform. I run discovarr my local users but I'm hesitant to post that up as a web app for external access.

    Does anybody around here know of a program or app or container even that would provide similar or replacement functionality via Matrix or signal or something of the like?

    Thanks!

    Elden Ring Player to Sue FromSoftware Over High Game Difficulty

    Another article that highlighs inherent flaws in the American legal system. How can this potentially be an actual lawsuit? How can "journalists" even entertain reporting on this?

    Honestly I'm just posting to laugh at my fellow lemmings responses and watch see how the plaintiff is roasted for not gitting gud.

    But, there is a real conversation here around continued ignorance of game development and the value of difficult games as a value proposition. Afterall, the person attempting to sue from did choose to purchase the games willingly knowing they're not for scrub casuals like themselves.

    What do you all think, is difficulty gating content a real issue? Should dev's have some kind of legal requirement to appease players that can spec a build properly? Is it Thursday and I'm just looking for some easy laughs at a morons expense?

    LAN bypass on Linux

    Hi all,

    Is there a conf change I can make to bypass local address filtering with ProtonVPN on Linux? When I attempt to access NFS and SMB shares on LAN they fail to connect with Proton active.

    Thanks!
