@NornQueenKya I haven't read a lot of the hours heresy novels, but I've read enough.
That MF did so much wrong.

while i completely understand concerns it is a bit shocking the backlash was that big on riot's thing. especially cheating being euphemized as "a little thing a company doesn't like". maybe r6 is too traumatized by cheaters but an anti-DMA breakthough sounded great to me

Well, that escalated quickly. There’s been a wave of claims by cheaters about Vanguard “bricking” their PCs, so let’s clear that up: Vanguard does not damage hardware or disable your devices. The photo we posted is a picture of cheat hardware devices that are sold explicitly for cheating in VALORANT (not normal PCs or PC components). Through our latest updates, Vanguard now makes those devices worthless for VAL, but does not in any way brick PCs or PC components or PC software. Our latest update enforces standard platform security features, like the Input-Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU), on accounts identified as using Direct Memory Access (DMA) cheating devices. These protections are already part of modern systems and when enabled, they block DMA cheat devices (such as those shown in the photo) from accessing memory in downstream applications, like our games. If a cheat setup continues attempting to cheat after those protections are enabled, the system may generate hardware faults or instability. This is expected behavior under IOMMU when attempts are made to read protected memory. Disabling IOMMU allows the cheat device to function again, but IOMMU will still be required to play our games. This means the cheat device won’t work with our games, but your PC isn’t “bricked.” We would not, and cannot, impact your PC’s functionality in any other fashion. This functionality only applies to systems attempting to use DMA cheat devices, and players who are not using DMA-based cheat setups are not affected. We’ll keep investing in anti-cheat to protect competitive integrity, and we’ll keep being as transparent as possible about how those systems work.

@AnimarchyYT Ya know what, I'm going to say it, YF-23 deserves to be on that list.
No, I dont care if I'm objectively wrong. My Boy deserved better.

Alex is right 99% of the time. However unfortunately this is the 1%.

@GwenpostingTTV Making a bit more than that and let me tell ya, $28 lunches ain't why I'm not going on bougie vacations and eating caviar.
It's the fact that rent and utilities eat up 60% of my post-tax income. That's the price I pay for living alone, in an apartment not covered in roaches.

@HLC_actual Wrapped up that book and started "The First Heretic". Definitely a decent follow up novel.

So on book 4 (the flight of the Einstein) and I gotta say I vibe with the death guard.
Some smart guy in the ship: these xenos have all their vital organs in their chest the head does not.
(The next chapter)
Member of the death guard standing over the xeno pulverizing its face into goo with his fists.
Same smart guy: I told him the chest is the target if he wants to put them down quickly.

@GwenpostingTTV Sadly, a lot of left wing discourse has the same lack of self awareness as right wing discourse. The only difference is which genocidal maniac they're making excuses for.
If we want to judge the right wingers for not kicking out the extremists, ought to practice what we preach.

I try to go down the leftist rabbit hole just a little bit and I'll find a thread explaining how the Holodomor was actually made up and that Lenin creating the Cheka was a good thing. I'm exhausted using the internet to find any useful discussions about this shit.

@JesseJChick So all Ambi needs is 2 more maps @ 20 kills a piece. EZ PZ.

*I'm aware SiegeGG has Solotov recorded at 204 kills during the Copenhagen Major. This is an error on their part, I confirmed with Ubisoft's stats team last night that the record is indeed 203.
(Ambi is at 165)

So many stories today
@BIGBADNADIAN looks to be the 1st to win 2 hammers and 2 majors
@Ambi_R6 hunts for the Major Kill record, set at 203 by Solotov*

@CtrlAltDelrith Cheats have always been a problem, but during COVID it got so much worse. And of course, those people didn't stop cheating after COVID ended.
Just wish we could go back to the way things were.

Online cheating is really really really really really really really out of control the last few years.
I genuinely do not doubt the number estimate here. Hunt Showdown has tons (Tons 6 star ESP), Tarkov, Arc, Marathon (REALLY BAD)
It's brutal. People not banned for 1k+ hours

@HubPointless @BraxtonJs On the flip side, older YouTube videos had a really bad habit of click baiting you but then never getting to the point for like 3/4th's if the videos runtime.
Trained us to avoid videos like that through sheer attrition of our attention spans.

@BraxtonJs It sucks but the algorithms kinda determines it.
30% of people click off after the first 20 seconds so people have to get straight into the hook because of zoomer attention spans

@HashionDiscord They did the same with the WE. Our Grotmas detachment got re-done.
Appears detachment design philosophy is changing. And this seems to be in line with what they did to ours (though the effect sucks).
Curious if other factions will get the same treatment.

@HubPointless That's all steaming services.
Cant have HD if you are on a browser because piracy protection or something.
Can barely get HD on your TV because they throttle the bandwidth.
If you want reliable 1080P, you need physical media or you need to sail the high seas.
