Also, has anyone ever referred to a musician or other artist as having "Medically Induced Talent"? Cause I just came up with that one and it would be funny if nobody had ever said it before

cheating in single player games is great, cheating in multiplayer where someone can break your game isn't very fun usually


other people having rights is often not fun but idk seems like the right thing to do anyway

i mean in reality its all of them, you cant get the temp data from the cpu or whatever else without ring 0 access and most of them are very lazy in how they go about it

you mean block network traffic? thats not the issue, its that the access itself if poorly managed can potentially give the ability to do stuff like write abritrarily to physical memory at which point you cant really do anything about it, thats why the anti-cheat programs come down so hard on exploitable drivers and stop the games theyre attached to from running until its fixed, which then makes people mad at the anti-cheat program instead of just like, updating the driver or turning off the program running the vulnerable driver.

things like cpu-z are also using a ring 0 driver, stuff like OC utils you will have constantly open. the only reason anticheats are moving to kernal now is specifically because there are so many of these garbage drivers that are insanely vulnerable that its become one of the most common methods to exploit to get around traditional anticheat, and theyre also a risk for anything else but no one cared until the anticheat made them turn off their Sick Gamer Plugins or update a driver they downloaded 5 years ago and never updated.

wow maybe its like you shouldn't just run a bunch of poo poo to increase the cross section of your kernel, like dozens of kernel anti-cheat drivers

Stux
Nov 17, 2006

yeah obviously but the issue is gamers are fundamentally the most stupid people on this planet and are all running all sorts of bizarre garbage on their computers and now anti-cheat has to dive into drivers to account for it, so once again, the people at fault are The Gamers.

seems like a twilight zone episode waiting to happen. a man sits down by his penguin computer and boots it up, he clicks an icon his desktop. he smiles, amazed he can simply click an icon and suddenly be playing a game, like the other kids with normal computers. the camera pans around and zooms out from his room, showing an earth devoid of all people, nothing but smoldering corpses and rubble of a world torn apart by the last console war

If I want to transition from Smash to a traditional fighting game, how do I choose which one? One of the main things I'm looking for is good netplay, and interesting characters. I do not mind anime (in fact I love it) as long as the game is popular , and has a lot of players of a lot of different skills so Matchmaking doesn't pair me against turbo nerds as I'm trying to learn how to play.
