A-10 Tank Killer was the bomb.

Any chance of bringing this one back? It doesn’t seem to be working.

Edit: Nevermind, seems the problem is on my end.

O(n)

I really enjoyed Grounded. Never got to the end game, but probably because I didn’t really try. I just had a lot of fun exploring and fighting bugs.

Windows 10 won’t just stop working. I still see businesses rocking Windows Vista occasionally.

The REPO devs are quoted as saying:

And while on this topic, we want to encourage all mod makers to please optimize the amount of server traffic they send to avoid any skyrocketing server costs.

But the article writer turns this into:

The devs are most likely referring to mods that increase REPO’s player count above its 6-player default max. Last year, Content Warning faced similar issues, to the point that the devs had to shut down mods that increased the lobby size.

If that was what they meant, that’s what they would have said, since what they said doesn’t imply that at all. Depending on the API, the mods could be doing any number of things with even a single player that would send network traffic through the roof.

Telling modders this is just about lobby size might diminish the impact of what the devs are requesting. An inexperienced modder who isn’t changing lobby size might not realize they’re inadvertently being a bad citizen with other stuff they’re doing.

As someone else mentioned, they should look into protecting themselves within their API though. Rate limits, etc. Since this whole thing took off on them unexpectedly, they probably weren’t prepared, so in the meantime they’re requesting the mods be more careful. Ultimately, this won’t work though.

Tbh, if it was just a lobby size thing, I would think that would be super easy to defend against server-side…

They should make three, and they all have to agree, but if only one disagrees then maybe they can ignore it, call it the “minority account” or something like that.

Whatever. You asked why I went off on what you said and I’m explaining why. You keep questioning that. If you don’t get it, you’re obviously obtuse. I’m not the only one who thought what you said was bad. It actually doesn’t matter what you said afterwards. What you said was normalizing harassment of people who put there work out in public, and you won’t admit it. You just keep saying the same thing over that that isn’t what you said. I was the second person to tell you what you said was bad. Many people downvoted you. If you want another opinion, give an LLM the original comment and your response, and ask it how your response could be interpreted. It will probably tell you that you were normalizing harassment.

I’m sorry is this argument hinging on our disagreeing about the term “shit take”?

You tell me. I’ve explained what it sounds like you’re saying to the rest of us.

So a shit take is a public harassment?

In the context of the comment you were responding to? Yes!

Count your downvotes dude. Who is arguing in bad faith? I think you should take a second and go back and read the thread from the beginning from the mindset of someone who doesn’t know what’s going on in your head.

In case it isn’t clear, it sounds like you’re belittling harassment to what you want to call a “shit take”, and that you think that harassment is basically the fault of the harrassee for doing whatever they do in “public”. Maybe that isn’t what you meant, but to the rest of us, that’s what you said.

You:

I mean at the end of the day if you don’t want people to come at you with their shit takes you shouldn’t put your stuff out for the public to see. That is also a choice.

Already did, see above.

I want you to explain how you came the conclusion that I said this harassment was ok when I unequivocally and clearly said it wasn’t.

I already told you. You said the act of being a public figure means you are inviting harassment. If you don’t understand how this normalizes harassment, I don’t think there’s much else to say.

Do you read comments before you respond?

Allow me to quote myself where I a) showed that I read your comment, and b) anticipated your response:

And don’t fucking tell me you’re not saying it’s okay, but public figures should “expect it”. No. Full stop. Fuck that. By saying they should expect it you’re fucking normalizing it and saying it’s okay.

You can’t say public figures should expect harassment and are inviting it and then say people who harass them are not absolved. You are absolving them by saying it’s expected and invited.

The act of streaming means you’re using a megaphone. You’re deliberately and intentionally inviting the public.

“Using a megaphone” implies he was trying to push an agenda. Being a public figure/entertainer is not well described by the phrase “using a megaphone.”

He’s deliberately and intentionally inviting the public, yes… to be fucking entertained while he streams a video game. He’s not trying to teach them anything, or convince them of anything, or push an agenda.

He had people come into his stream and start talking racist shit and he shut it down. In no way does he have to put up with it just because he is a public figure.

I mean at the end of the day if you don’t want people to come at you with their shit takes you shouldn’t put your stuff out for the public to see. That is also a choice.

Do you even fucking hear yourself? Saying that being a public figure means you’re deliberately asking for harassment and abuse is fucking insane! What the fuck is wrong with you or anyone else who thinks it’s okay to hurl abuse at someone just because they’re a fucking public figure. And don’t fucking tell me you’re not saying it’s okay, but public figures should “expect it”. No. Full stop. Fuck that. By saying they should expect it you’re fucking normalizing it and saying it’s okay. That’s a choice you’re making, and it’s frankly disgusting.

No one is saying all games should suddenly turn VR, no one wants that and no one expects that to happen.

there should be games for people who like VR because some people do like to be active.

So no, “it should be a second-class citizen” is a nonsense take.

Sounds like you have a different definition of second-class citizen.

This could be a router or VPN issue, or both. Is FitGirl private? They probably have info about port forwarding and seeding in an FAQ.

It’s more a commentary on your writing style, but the potential for satireality is written all over it.

<be me
<sell off all my Bitcoin
<put it all into GME stock right when it was starting to go up
<because why not right?
<1000 bucks or something
<because everyone said the bitcoin bubble was going to pop or something
<bitcoin goes from 30k to 60k in like two months
<now it’s closer to 100k

Long story short I make bad choices and no fuckin way I’m selling my GME for a loss just for it to double or triple again in two months

It’s really greentext

Who?

What’s the over/under on Venezuela being next?
