@doomlightning

there are some who really need to be slapped in the face for waking up to the complex reality we live in,

Who do you mean by that? People who sleep and wake up?

[fralegend015 (Shroudmaster)]

Doom is against sleeping confirmed?!

[doomlightning (The Invisible Aztec Dodo God. Real Plant Torturer, Ltd.)]

To wake them up from the dream they are dreaming and show them that they are very stupid.

So yes, I’m against sleep (/s)

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Oh, I see, not the ordinary kind of sleep.

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

yeah, but then everything else that relies on the time gets messed up.

@aah31415

What is the worst pest animal in existance?

bedbugs and fleas.

@hhyyrylainen

If it is always the same amount behind, wouldn’t that mean that it is just configured with the wrong local timezone?

yep, but it’s locked on that one. i use EST, computer’s locked on UTC-8

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Now what is the “best” pest animal?

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

soldierflies. larvae are perfect for feeding chickens, composting, and dissolving into fertilizer.

there’s also cicadas, which only emerge once every 13 or 17 years, depending on the population, and are so abundant that no matter how many you kill, unless you burn down their entire habitat, you will never kill them all, which makes them be better for the same purposes if you live where both populations intersect and have a huge cicada pit to collect enough that they last until the next cicada event.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Do such cicada pits really exist?

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

if you live where the cicadas live, all you gotta do is make a bunch o barrels under trees, and dig out a pit that you can keep live pests out of, then dump all the cicada barrels in the pit every morning until the cicada season ends

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

And after that they can be used as a fertilizer?

I don’t play CS2 so why should I have an opinion on this? The only thing I’ve incidentally read, is that some people tried to play CS2 with Proton, which is very silly. It’s a native game for Linux so you should play the native version, and also that’s the only way to have VAC working (so the silly people who forced CS2 to use Proton couldn’t play anyway).

I forgot to mention that CS2’s VAC apparently uses AI and come to think of it, it might just be the reason why there are false triggers. I’ve heard of a couple of people who triggered the system by using max DPI settings and move the mouse like crazy.

Would be nice if Valve finally did something against spinbotters. In case you haven’t seen a spinbotter it basically looks like the player constantly rotates in a single spot around very fast, and somehow this avoids most bullets fired at the player making them basically invulnerable. So banning everyone who spins very fast for a while would probably improve the gaming experience for basically everyone in CS.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

That sounds like a rather serious exploit. For how long it was around?

[hhyyrylainen]

Years, I think. I saw a video series on YouTube a while ago where the premise was that they watch overwatch cases from CS (basically replays of games where someone was reported as cheating). And at one point more than half of the cheating report cases were spinbotters. So you’d load up the replay and then watch how ever long you could take it the screen just spinning at max speed as you were watching a spinbotter play (obviously they can play as their cheat makes it so that locally their screen doesn’t rotate, but it appears they spin to all other players and in the recording).

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Why has this not been patched for entire years?

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

i’m guessing the problem that causes it to be effective is that most gun projectiles move at around the same speed, so there’s one speed that they can spin at to not get hit by any of them(well, almost any), so another option would be to make an easily accessible gun that shoots bullets that go about 10* faster than every other gun’s bullets, so that, with proper aim, a lot more of the bullets will hit them unless they increase their RPM to be faster than every other bullet in the game but that’s all based on a guess

well, the other problem is admin negligence, but that’s human error

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Was there ever a shooter game with a cap to speed of rotation?

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

probably not, but if they’re spinning fast enough to avoid the fast bullets, they’ll be hitting the slower bullets from behind, meaning they’ll still take damage

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Let’s hope that this exploit will be patched soon then…
