Sir. Goose

@t8z5h3 @beyond_fps @Alickaard @kurosumomo Sadly feels like that's the case. Indie games give me hope and have, for a large part, been a return to form.

@gooseington @beyond_fps @Alickaard @kurosumomo The real point is this debate is just rage bate at this point AI is becoming better hour by hour, dlss is moving from frame gen to being the render engine of a game, the replacement to the dialog tree of a rpg games. The point is accept the change or give up gaming.

Stop relying on fake stuff, said the successful Youtuber relying on AI to generate the thumbnail

@beyond_fps @Alickaard @kurosumomo "and there is nothing wrong with that" is exactly why they do it and get away with it. You are literally the problem.

@Alickaard @kurosumomo For 240hz (and more) displays either you lower the visuals a lot or you use upscaling and/or FG, and there is nothing wrong with that.

@Gigabear_X Most major companies already do to some degree. Phone carriers and car manufacturers, all have pervasive control over the products you "own". You don't have to partake, but they know you will anyways.

@gooseington The risk of other companies adopting this to their ToU if they think it will be tolerated is quite high. Then you won't be able to disagree cause everyone will be doing it.

When Riot detects a DMA board, they have plenty of options. The following are acceptable for dealing with the cheater: 1. Ban the user 2. Shut the game down and don't let it launch till IOMMU is properly configured The following is not acceptable: 1. Messing with windows

@Gigabear_X Tbh I think it's fine riot does this. If you agree to it when you install via TOS that's on you. I won't, and many others don't, but it's a personal choice all the same.

Why is this a concern? Besides the risk of another crowdstrike incident where millions of PCs can't get into windows due to a bad update, we're getting closer to just wholesale running your Discord messages through an AI to see if you cheated. Where is the line?

@eternalrll @catgirlstrike Bro the absolute LAST thing you want in any competitive game is frame gen

I get why people say that, but this is where improved optimisation comes in. DLSS/FSR, frame gen, shader fixes ect make higher quality games playable on old hardware. Will it be perfect? Ofcourse not. But people don’t realise WAY better graphics doesn’t always mean WAY tougher on your hardware. Maybe a little. But not as much as people think.

What UE6 means for rocket league: - Faster load times - Faster queue times - Better FPS (max & stability) - Lower input delay - Improved servers - Lower ping - Better optimisation - Better graphics - Better Anti cheat capabilities - Easier & faster bug fixes for developers - Less ghost touches - Less demo inconsistencies - Better item capabilities - Better replay system - More cinematics - Better API support - Better AFK detection - Training pack overhaul - More settings customisation - More in game statistics - More mutator options - CREATIVE MODE/WORKSHOP MAPS FOR EVERYONE LIKE FORTNITE (Not all are confirmed, but unreal engine 6 ALLOWS all these AND MORE to become possible)

@GennaBain @Totalbiscuit I still go back and watch some of his videos from time to time. He had a pretty big impact on my early teen years during the 2010's. I catch myself sometimes comparing modern reviewers to him and how so, so many fall short. I'm sure he would be proud of how far you've come.

It’s been 8 years since I lost @Totalbiscuit and I’m not doing very well. I appreciate everyone’s patience with me as a pseudo content creator and as an indie developer. I’m doing the best I can and it’s not enough, but I promise I’m trying. 🤍

@DanielShamie @eMTBrides the particular one he is showing is an Enola Gaye, which are safe to handle while active.

@eMTBrides A normal pyrotechnic smoke grenade is extremely hot, you can not hold it as he is showing.

Maybe you wonder why I, a mere gun blog, makes a big deal about Flock and similar tech? OK here’s a real world situation that can easily happen and has likely happened. Unfortunately to drive on public roads without getting hassled by the cops, your car needs a license plate. That’s tied to you, the owner of the vehicle. Flock isn’t just a traffic camera, it’s an AI/ML enabled (wait for it) flock of cameras that transmit all their video and audio to the mothership. Not a government server somewhere but, to keep it simple, a big giant cloud computer instance owned and run by Flock, the company. Government users, as well as Flock employees here in the US and overseas, can log in and query the system based on license plate number or even vehicle description and get a full history of that vehicle’s movements throughout the Flock network over multiple jurisdictions. Someone in New York can track a car from Armonk all the way to Homestead FL if they feel like it from the comfort of their desk. On a daily level, someone can get a pretty accurate picture of someone’s life just by monitoring their movements via Flock. And I’m using this example to rattle the cage of the “back the blue unconditionally” crowd in 2A. OK - your car has license plate ABC 123 - and Flock knows this. Someone can enter your tag in Flock and see what you are doing on a daily basis. You leave your home where the neighborhood is under the Flock panopticon. Flock sees you drive to Dunkin’ on Main Street, then you drop your kid off at XYZ Daycare. Then you go to work at the local IT consulting firm in ZZZ industrial park. You go pick up a quick deli sandwich for lunch at Food Lion. You go back to work. On the way home you stop off at Bob’s Guns, and stay for 20 minutes while buying some ammo. Then you go home. Everywhere there’s a Flock camera. Now Flock knows the following about you: - You live at 123 Wisteria Lane - Your kid is in daycare (means he’s likely under 5) - You work at ZZZ - You go cheap on lunch - You own at least one gun Your license plate is tied to you so they now have your name and assumed-to-be-private details of your life, like that you are armed. On the reverse of that, the Flock camera outside of Bob’s Guns has been recording the plates of everyone going into the parking lot. No need for a firearms registry when Flock is doing the work. All of this is done without a warrant and the data is available to anyone with a certain level of access to the system, whether it’s a cop, or a Flock technician in the Philippines. FYI Flock uses overseas contractors for support and AI annotation. The 2018 Carpenter decision at SCOTUS ruled that pervasive surveillance where one can divine private details of someone’s life is a 4th Amendment violation in absence of a specific warrant. Flock is illegal, unconstitutional and immoral. And a danger to everyone, not just gun owners.

@HankVenture5 @SageDynamics Thanks for the response, I'll check out sages and read up some more on Geissele and Larue (never heard of them before today).

@SageDynamics is almost definitely more knowledgeable about this than I am but the short answer is that two part triggers that have been used in fighting rifles for decades have proven better reliability in adverse conditions and have much higher tolerance for continuing to function if the weapon is dirty or borderline out of spec. If something goes wrong with the conventional trigger you can also typically service it with simple tools. Drop in modular triggers became very popular over the past 20 years because you can get a very crisp 2.5-4lb glass break type feel with the trigger and they are extremely easy to install. I have had problems with multiple modular triggers, but hey, they are very fast and you get that nice light snap trigger pull. I think they are fine in range toy guns but I would never run one in a gun set up for HD or SHTF type uses. You can get really good trigger performance out of a Geissele or Larue (or others) it just costs more.

I looked this up. It's just another drop in trigger. I assumed that if it was sooo cool that it was a binary or something. Friends don't let friends put drop in triggers on their most critical rifles.

@HankVenture5 @SageDynamics For someone uneducated in triggers but wants to know more, got any good resources you can point me to? Why are drop ins bad for longevity?

@SageDynamics I have had multiple malfunctions with drop in triggers. I had one that was firing 2-3 rounds and that was in a host that was never fired suppressed. I do not for the life of me understand why anyone is putting in a dogshit drop in trigger when Geissele and LaRue exist.

@frozenaesthetic Followed you originally for the memes, occasional thirst traps are just a plus.

Could make bank from only fans Instead I just thirst post here and there

@ShamashAran would be the first fight i ever tuned in for.

I Wanna watch them fight in wet tshirts and jello

@helldivers2 if relaxation is mandatory, why did you remove major order medals for those that don't log-in?.

@WeatherFell Way to many people giving a fuck about other peoples experiences. Don't like it? don't use it.

This review knocked us out of Overwhelmingly Positive but I don't care because I'll die on this hill no matter how much time passes. Side note: They didn't get all the achievements

@BouTreeFidy @MegalumVT how does your hold up? I've heard these have a lot of feed issues.

@MegalumVT Talking about this here?

I'm sorry, HOW MUCH????

tell me how an ~indy game~ that dropped out of nowhere, got perfect journo scores and can not only afford a fully licensed soundtrack but also fancy goodie sets for redditor "content creators" is anything but an industry plant

@Airsoftotaku1 @kabrutusdeid fair enough

@gooseington @kabrutusdeid 我不是說全都是因為他，但你說的等於是中文圈的人全都沒有因為這個雙重邊準的賤女人抱怨耶!!你自己看你自己寫的"its the Chinese being pissed about balancing changes"你甚至沒說大部分或少部分喔!按照你的說法是我們全都沒抱怨那個垃圾喔!

Well deserved
