@ShacoMidLane Lawsuits are for civil charges. What Riot did is a federal crime.
English
Still waiting for someone to sue Riot over their anti cheat system.
Please do because I would love to see you waste money and time and lose it all because you're too pathetic to play the game fair and square.

@Glhuun @ShinyQuagsire riot has kernel access for years, and its in the ToS that you agree to it
English
@ShinyQuagsire I think the argument is it's a lil fuckin weird that a video game can just toggle the OS config (and do anything it wants for that matter) without getting an okay from the user. Lil strange. Lil weird
Feels a bit like needing to cut them a key to my house to play their games.

Game: Valorant AC: Vanguard (VGK) Today’s Vanguard anti-cheat update blocked the majority of DMA firmwares using SATA/NVMe. VGK suddenly triggered an IOMMU restart warning in-game, after which the DMA firmware becomes completely unusable, even without the game running or after uninstalling Vanguard. Only fix is a full OS reinstall. It’s using IOMMU to create read blocks, which permanently breaks the majority of almost all SATA/NVMe firmwares once triggered. Even the advanced H2-board got affected. Confirmed Firmware Block wave by @ItsGamerDoc

@teamskullpichu @OraCLeCiNci @Sonovah @Mehmetalikckgl @ManaByte while yes, that isnt what riot is doing with their anti cheat. it basically just render the cheat engine unusable, not damaging your property.
English
@OraCLeCiNci @Sonovah @Mehmetalikckgl @ManaByte Their argument wasn't worded well, but they are right. A ToS that states "we can destroy your property if you upset us" isn't one that will hold up. They don't necessarily have to be a cheater and probably aren't.
English
Let’s walk through how that courtroom drama plays out:
Cheater: "Your Honor, Riot bricked my $6,000 PC!"
Riot: "Actually, we just updated Vanguard to enforce standard Windows IOMMU security protocols. If they unplug the illegal hardware cheat device from their motherboard, the PC boots perfectly fine."
Judge: "Wait, so your computer works, but your specialized cheating hardware doesn't?"
Cheater: "Yes! It’s property damage!"
Judge: [Bangs gavel so hard it breaks] "Case dismissed. Pay Riot's legal fees."
You cannot sue a company because their security system successfully detected your exploit. Riot didn't destroy anything; they just rendered a cheating device useless for cheating. If you spent thousands of dollars on a DMA card just to click on heads in Valorant, your only legal recourse is to sue your parents for giving birth to someone so stupid.
TielBorlis@tielborlis2
@ManaByte Nope, but their lawyers may be soon
English
@ManaByte Privacy/Property rights in the eyes of the law is murky at best right now. You only control *your* software as an unchallenged fact.
It's legally dubious if you can simply include the overreach into someone's hardware in the Terms of Service and Privacy Policies.
English
@FrostedYukio buddy, i wish death upon cheater in my game. you think i care if their system is fcked in the ass?
English
so now do people believe kernal level anticheat is malware?
this is illegal in multiple countries, but they'll get away with it because they're owned by the Chinese government
Dexerto@Dexerto
Riot Games have “bricked” $6,000 DMA cheating devices with their Vanguard anti-cheat The hardware is denied access to game memory, so cheaters can't play Riot titles
English
@grlatrockshow more of an age thing. kid at 3 is a mess to take care of, 6 and above they can basically play with themselves, so its more enjoyable
English
@Labyrinth_Mage @Marduk21 @griefcliff vanguard has kernel level access for years now, why are you start complaining suddenly?
English
@Marduk21 @griefcliff That was how you guys said when people wanted to protect their privacy,
Now you say this when people don't want their property being destroyed by a Chinese company.
With hackers or not, your game is toxic anyway, it doesn't worth sacrificing others's privacy or property.
English
Video games belong in the red rectangle called "applications"
If something wants access to the blue rectangle called "kernel",
they're almost certainly evil.

@wizards_only @bignothingman i mean, its hard to argue in hololive case. just by getting in you basically guaranteed a 300k sub channel and around 5k concurrent viewers for the first few months
English
@bignothingman VTuber agencies 100% provide opportunities that indie tubers can't access. However, 99% of agencies exploit the hell out of their talent. It's a question of if you'd make more earning a proportionally much smaller piece of a much larger pie.
English

"if people stop supporting hololive then hololive will stop supporting us."
"I love the sentiment that people just support the fans, it's beautiful, but we are hololive"
"Just going indie isn't that simple. We would get maybe 2% of the opportunities as we get here"

@CorneliuxBoss @LilithLovett do you want to be the slaver, or a slave
English
@LilithLovett I think the concerns of a mega country holding monopoly on essentials are reasonable. But aren't we already in a similar situation where the USA holds unreasonable power in their economics?

Genuine question, did IGN fuck your mother over the kitchen table on Christmas morning or something because this level of obsession is ridiculous. Y'all bitch up and down about how irrelevant and bad IGN is and then every review y'all become professional dick riders.

you cant be more retarded than this. that fix all button will destroy the renting market, and youre now either homeless, or own one. it will also destroy development of new house/apartment/etc, because no developer will attempt to build in place where there isnt buying power.

if you arent sucking my dck on demand, you cant complain that porn being part of my masterbation
Նարե 𓃹@alivegirlnare
@imheretolurk13 I do not like that the men in the comments are acting like watching porn while in a relationship is normal. That is not normal. In fact it means you have a porn rotted brain, lmao. You can have sex almost whenever you want to and you choose to watch other people fuck instead?
English
@SamuelArtMain @DelusionPosting i mean, the problem with mixtape set itself up for failure. Putting a 10/10 on a 6-7/10 game is basically murder.
English
@DelusionPosting Why is Mixtape there? It's got a really small audience, but it's not bad. I feel like the people that complain games are woke don't actually play them half the time.
Yeah,I know,"how do you know it's shit?" meme and such,but I mean they'll use one review to affirm their beliefs
English
It's actually hilarious how everyone on left wing Twitter pretended to be super excited about 1348 Ex Voto to own the chuds, only for literally no one to actually buy it lmao

@APolygons2 @Awk20000 the sole problem here is that this industry plan of a game set itself up for failure. it brought itself a 10/10 score, beating game like elden ring, baldur gate, wukong, etc. The expectation is high, and for a 7/10 to be that arrogant deserves a beating
English
@clonician @Awk20000 To me, a genuinely fantastic piece of art getting negative reviews because people found out someone they don't like was in the credits months later is NOT a win for "art"...
But yes, it is a win for the political battle you guys seem to care so much about.
English
Asmongold disagrees with xQc that you should not reviewbomb games in the Anita Sarkeesian situation
"If u can't reviewbomb a game..u can't express ur discontent..I agree that it's kind of silly..but there's no other way that u can express the way that u feel and have it be listened to"
"In a perfect world u would be able to give ur criticism and then the developer would listen to it..but reality is..Anita Sarkeesian is very clearly a politcally charged very disliked figure..ppl hiring her knew this"
"Goal is to make developers afraid of collaborating w ppl that have taken a basically an aggressive role and an agitative role against the gaming community..have to..u can't rely on the media to accurately report on this, if xQc looked into this, he would know that"
English
@Awk20000 I'm sorry but this is fundementally stupid.
It was dumb when a lot of the "left" did it to mewgenics or Hogwarts Legacy, its dumb now that the "right" is doing it to slay the spire.
Art is more important than Agenda. Damaging great games' reputation to save gaming is backwards.

Cash is usually better, but in this case, this makes more sense
The whole point is to guarantee that every newborn goes home from the hospital with diapers that night. Cash is flexible, which is the problem. Rent is due. There's debt. The car needs gas. These are all legitimate priorities, and the cash gets absorbed. Meanwhile the baby still doesn't have diapers
Every single newborn needs them, the need is immediate sizes are predictable, and the hospital is already the perfect handoff point
Oh, and SNAP and WIC don't cover diapers, so this isn't redundant
The government also buys at bulk prices no individual parent can access, so the in-kind benefit is worth more than its cash equivalent anyway
English
Why not just give cash?
Cash is simpler. Don't have to worry about getting, transporting, storing, distributing diapers.
Cash is better. If the new parents want diapers, they can buy diapers with cash. If the new parents received a lot of diapers as gifts from friends or family, they could spend the cash on something else.
Democrats Deliver@DemzDeliver
🚨 California is now the first state to offer free diapers to newborns. Every family will receive 400 diapers.
