streamchat

[ashen silo]

maybe they are connected

[ivory schooner]

So Thor, now that it would appear you know the crux of the issue, I’m guessing you updated your support ticket?

[static otter]

maybe the same

[frosty mural]

no clue about that, but probly not

[brazen drift]

Now it's either a war of Madge Man escalating further now that hes been found out, OR Thor will be able to stream it without interruption now since he may be in Turbo Trouble

[undone parcel]

Ngl i still think its not an attack... But we shall see what the isp guys finds

[late bane]

hopefully something that leads to a solution.

[lapis flame]

if the ISP techs say its a DDoS attack, it probably is

[humble hinge]

i think its an attack, and abnormally sophisticated (i am not good at tech so thats just a hunch on my part) but i also think they picked the wrong target

[coarse niche]

If it's not an attack, it'd probably be one hilarious ass set of coincidences and circumstances that I'd love to hear, but my money is on an attack

[proven summit]

@ivory schooner my friends and i had our gameserver attacked, we sent all of our info to the police. Turned out we had some cops playing on our server and they spent some free time helping us to find the culprit. Turned out it was 1 person found to be guilty of DDossing twice before. It even hit the news, they got 3 years in jail. (he allso had some other things going) . The Ddossing was a pretty bad time for us but the fact he got caught was awesome

[brazen drift]

To be fair it was running perfectly fine for several days and then suddenly ONLY THOR (and also shaye, when streaming it) kept getting kicked off ONLY when playing OSRS. So yeah as Wizard said it'd be incredibly coincidental but given how many people shit all over Thor...

[ashen silo]

literally - imagine going against a defcon hacker and thinking you won't get caught

[ivory schooner]

That’s wild

[bold thunder]

Oh wait he was fine over VPN just not the stream, could just tunnel everything to a nice juicy EC2 instance in AWS and break out to the internet from there (so no need for any IP split tunnel adventure, just money)

[ashen silo]

(sorry if answered already) - is the stream coming back today?

[static otter]

unlikely, as it's his end time now

[halcyon quartz]

it's looking more and more like a no

[humble hinge]

literaly like probably 1 in just a handful of streamers who actualy could tackle this, even if i dont understand it will be nice to hear from thor what was happening and how they zapped it

[ashen silo]

ty - how do I get twitch sub badge on here?

[split tulip]

I don't think so. he usually ends around this time anyway

[brazen drift]

I mean he genuinely might not "get caught" in the real-world consequences style. but it's wilder to me if he thought he could Continue to pull this stunt off without being found out

[earnest mirage]

no, raided the ferrets

[static otter]

link Discord and twitch

[split tulip]

if you've already linked accounts, probably just takes a minute

[halcyon quartz]

you have to link your Twitch to your Discord account

[proud depot]

Say its found out who is doing this, could there be criminal consequences?

[brazen drift]

Restarting discord if you've already linked twitch to discord may help them show up but otherwise it sometimes takes a bit

[jolly sky]

Lmao this channel got avalanched after I left to eat food

[humble hinge]

should be criminal consequences

[halcyon quartz]

yes. this is a crime for sure

[brazen drift]

oh yeah. You don't just DDoS an ISP and get away with it if they find you lmao

[halcyon quartz]

the ISP can sue for obstructing their operations

[proven summit]

In the Netherlands it sure dis

[ivory schooner]

If something similar happens with Thor my fear is on public optics, cos with the ire he’s gained, my thought immediately lept to copycats trying to find more ways to mess with him, because apparently leaving him alone isn’t an option

[proven summit]

did*

[static otter]

That's the same as if you would interfere with bus/tram/train

[humble hinge]

i mean its sabotage of business, not sure what the official charge would be but its literaly trying to kill a mans business

[ashen silo]

would that guy following him in-game osrs and emoting for days get charged similarly?

[proud depot]

I imagine thor has to have some "fun" dealing with ISP customer support letting them know what happened

[brazen drift]

At this point, while I'm sure Thor is upset about it, he sounded far more giddy about figuring out the puzzel that was handed to him on a silver platter than upset

[lapis flame]

no.

[static otter]

interfering with public business or something similar, I can't translate from my native

[elder scaffold]

It's just annoying, not illegal

[humble hinge]

not sure, depends on a countries hate crime laws (since i think he drew a nazi symbol at one point..)

[split tulip]

hacking to interfere or to steal is illegal in most places. catching and prosecuting the culprit is another story

[gentle mortar]

He's on Winky stream, he is chilling out

[brazen drift]

Yeah i know

[undone parcel]

Not rly just thor if the attack is to isp specifically 🙂 its sabotage towards runescape

[brazen drift]

Im in there,

[undone parcel]

So this could be fun

[proud depot]

that would be under the purview of jagex

[ivory schooner]

So It would be more on RuneScape to decide what to do about it legally then?

[wheat sleet]

Getting an entire community of IT nerds on your case is probably not going to be fun for the other end of the stick

[lapis flame]

realistically nobody will be punished for this

[wheat sleet]

Yeah, hard to prosecute crimes over the internet

[lapis flame]

theyre renting a gigantic firehose from some place that doesnt talk to US authorities

[late bane]

https://tenor.com/view/popcorn-guy-relaxing-popcorm-popcorn-gif-26404903

[proven summit]

i think this is just a sidequest for Thor. looked like he even liked the challenge 😂

[bold thunder]

Btw what type of firewall/router is Thor running at his house ?

[ashen silo]

At least it made for a fun stream - was lots of fun working through the attack vectors with Pirate and learning a lot

[undone parcel]

IF its agains that isp
But i dont feel like its worth further

But got me thinking... It is an attack against the ISP too... So ISP could sue this specific person/org

[brazen drift]

The worst part is its probably someone IN the OSRS community doing it since I remember when he started streamin it some dude came in like "we dont want you in our community" and he got giga banned

[split tulip]

in this case they're attacking the ISP, so runescape would be involved. they would if they ddoes runescape directly

[jolly sky]

It would absolutely be illegal here. The mere action of intent alone is enough to be arrested, let alone the actually doing it.

Whether or not it can even be actioned, or will be actioned is anyone's guess

[humble hinge]

yes i did learn alot in todays stream, but little tilted that peeps still hold grudges, and to this extent

[undone parcel]

Let us know how it goes mr long lemon man, this is getting interesting 🙂

[brazen drift]

So if he ever Does get caught im sure there will be consequences; if not some sort of fine or jail time then with the punishment of never being able to play runescape again

[proud depot]

If this guy is in the US there is a high chance of consequences should someone be found, but if they are in another country, good luck

[humble hinge]

might not be allowed near a computer for a few years... fingers crossed

[jolly sky]

Sad strange little aspects of humanity, and they have my pity.

[wheat sleet]

Unless you get the FBI involved, there's not much likelyhood of catching someone smart

[proven summit]

ddos in what form whatever is up to 5 years in jail in my country

[split tulip]

banned from computers and touch-type telephones. what a fate

[late bane]

Banish them to the shadow realm

[wheat sleet]

If they made a grave mistake like bragging about it on 4chan though... weaponised autism is a thing

[late bane]

I can weaponise my autism!?

[proven summit]

guy we caught was bragging too, was his misstake

[bold thunder]

Anyone know thors network stack? Asking for my marketing guy at vendor X

[wheat sleet]

That's probably never going to be public knowledge

[jolly sky]

If they bragged about it on 4chan, they people who saw it also need to care. If they don't, then its just a fart in the wind.

[ashen silo]

someone in stream said he uses TP-Link if that helps

[ivory schooner]

Depends, how good are you at holding a grudge?

[bold thunder]

Feels like a high profile streamer should have high profile enterprise grade network gear

Sponsored ***

This sounds like a marketing match in heaven

[late bane]

I forget why I am upset in a few days, so not that good.

[wheat sleet]

Obscurity isn't security, but it sure is a deterrent. If you're asking about having your company sponsor Thor, that's probably a busines email thing

[split tulip]

he'll probably just stick to whatever works. streams are running just fine normally so I don't see a reason to change

[bold thunder]

Could have solved this in 10 minutes with a nice Juniper Mist SSR and 2 wan connections

[proud depot]

I tend to forget that I'm supposed to be angry by the morning

[humble hinge]

the real issue is... thor attracts critical thinkers and mature individuals, but his adversaries attract unhinged lunatics and sleepless ghouls

[ivory schooner]

Then I’m afraid any hyperfixation you have at the time will quickly disappear before you can weaponize your autism effectively, I have a similar problem with art projects

[warm trench]

Except unless Thor wants to be his own ISP, you would have to talk his network provider. No amount of network on Thor's side would have fixed this issue - at some point you will have a point of presence and hand off.

[jolly sky]

Or be more blunt, pissing in a sea of piss. It's unlikely that the people who browse 4chan will decidicate their time to catching the person who bragged.

[bold thunder]

Marketing 😄

[bold thunder]

That’s why you get multiple wan circuits

And then a little sd-wan magic and pooooof

Wondering why streamers haven’t been tapped before

[warm trench]

Wants to run ferret rescue, not thousands of dollars a month in networking

[proud depot]

given thor has said he's in the middle of the woods, he's paying out the nose for that business grade internet connection

[bold thunder]

[humble hinge]

lets be honest.... he made the business just for the connection... :p

[wheat sleet]

He is running 3 separate channels off of it now, and at 1440p

[humble hinge]

he needed a really good excuse for 3gig up n down

[warm trench]

ISP will just have to hardin their side. Probably got the run of the mill business path package .. nah, going to have to start using more robust engineering for this customer.

[bold thunder]

Ball park 120mbps per stream or?

Ok our boy will need a SSR1200 or the new SSR400 series

[wheat sleet]

It's probably a lot because Thor said he had to encode all of it on his end, and the stream runs at 1440p, 1080p, 720p, 480p and 320p

[warm trench]

megabytes per sec? 300/300 would be symetrical 3GB/s

[brazen drift]

I know with our ISP, i have the FULL PACKAGE. 900down and 900up. When my mom called them to do everything the service lady was like 'uhhhh are you - are you sure you want this one? you really dont need it-'

[bold thunder]

Lol

[bold thunder]

US network infrastructure sure is interesting (filthy euro trash here)

[brazen drift]

a week later a lighting strike struck the pole outside our house and managed to bypass the surge protector to kill the router/modem lmfao

[subtle gate]

https://tenor.com/view/stargate-jack-sg1-gif-21402301

[ivory schooner]

Does your insurance cover acts of god?

[brazen drift]

Well they did replace it for free, since we proved to the guy with a lightning tracking app, the way the service was acting, and the literal scortch mark on the bottom of the pole

probably wont a second time so heres hoping god doesnt try anything

[wheat sleet]

My uncle once had his entire house fried by a lightning strike, but he was insured for everything so it was just an inconvenience having to replace all the electronics and appliances

[split tulip]

yeah, lighting strikes are pretty normal. it's hurricane level stuff that is normally consided "acts of god" or "force majoure" in a lot of contracts

[wheat sleet]

It's not usually the hurricane that does you in, it's the water from it

Flood insurance is alwas an addition

[brazen drift]

The rest of the surge protectors were fine, we assumed that one just wasn't strong enough so it got replaced. THANKFULYL the only thing on it was a broken printer and the router so

[humble hinge]

british wiring must be different, we dont get anything like that after lightning, dont even have to change fuses, worst case you just flip the breaker

[ivory schooner]

That’s a good advertising opportunity tho, “we cover smites from the heavens”

[brazen drift]

lmfao

[bold thunder]

A little multipath + FEC forward error connection
And dual hub endpoints for tunneling select traffic over multiple paths and boom
Juniper mist marketing heaven 😇

Nice part is you can just spin up the hubs in either azure or AWS

And bobs your uncle ferrets secured

[worthy ivy]

RCB for the win!

[bold thunder]

And makes routing application specific stuff like lets say RUNESCAPE over a given path 2 clicks
Vs
Stream outputs can be broken out locally or taken over the overlay split amongst multiple paths (5G, starlink, backup ISP)

[wheat sleet]

My dad had a friend from the UK that always teased him about how his house was older than our entire country.

[tropic merlin]

Time to install a nice well grounded lighting rod nearby or atop the pole.

[brazen drift]

Nah, we got enough trees that its usually not a problem

just that zeus reminded me to be humble about my internet

since i went from 5mb down and like 1 upload to what i have now. i couldnt even watch twitch streams natively. i had to use an alternative player at 180p to even LISTEn to streams

[tropic merlin]

Lol. My grandfather used to have a lightning rod attached to a sacrificial pine tree on his farm to keep lighting from taking out any of the orchard trees, or igniting the wall of windbreak trees because they were planted so tight that putting out a fire in them was a nightmare.

[brazen drift]

we just on the edge of a forest, like midway up a hill

so theres taller stuff than us

[tropic merlin]

Fair enough.

[minor nymph]

Yep!

[minor nymph]

Unfortunately hitting the node above us is something I can't control.
We're getting it fixed though! ISP side.

[hasty grail]

Thor, sooo how could they launch the attack?

now that we know what they are hitting

[bold thunder]

Yar runescape worked via VPN yes just not streaming upload yeah?
The encapsulated traffic survived these shenanigans?

I'd still just love to see some MTR data just so I can sleep better tonight

[frosty socket]

okay... that's a Sneaky Bastard move, but...honestly...claps for a moment impressively done

Houses, fencing, and even pubs

[frosty socket]

to the person who did the "nerd" reaction emote: Yes, Yes I am, and proud of it

[bold thunder]

But yeah “business lines” either MPLS or reserved fiber are fun for sure
Most places have moved their branches to multiple or at least dual connected “cheap as chips” wan circuits so bundling 2-4 1gbps links etc
Massive cost reduction in “most places” except… Iceland 🇮🇸

Oh we do tho mostly especially in carrier level network stuff, just a lot of marketing fluff

now to be fair i havent properly tried it but i messed with it a little

[late bane]

With the ddos attacks solved tomorrow should be a fun day

[brazen drift]

well its not particularly "solved" since its up to the ISP to actually fix it on their end, but the puzzle has in fact been WON so i hope whoevers doing it is extremely angry and temper tantruming

[late bane]

Its weird because they were kinda smart about how they did it but also incredibly stupid as while Thor was testing different things he just kept ddos'ng making it easy to blast through If, than scenarios

[brazen drift]

Yeah frankly it was very idiotic. "i wonder if he can hit me while im in my home instance" [dude rapid fire presses his ddos button] "guess that is a yes"

its why i keep laughing about how it may be some college age kid, but frankly the trolls dont have much intelligence either so who knows

[late bane]

Didn't help it was during runescape as that game has wild bugs

Like yeah you can dc a friend if you know their email lol

[hasty grail]

in terms of overall connection issues, Runescape is fairly stable

aside from known DDOS attempts in the past

[late bane]

Connection wise yeah

But its a tad old and some things we did in 06 are probably still around

[hasty grail]

even connecting to worlds across... well... the world

[hasty grail]

i would like to think that Jagex learned enough from RS3 as a whole that they made the backend robust

[late bane]

Im actually shocked the guy didn't blast in chat once the gig was up

Also how did he get their IP i wonder

I feel its the twitch data share for his skills as it would need to be connected to his side to stream that data to us

I think

Otherwise can you just pull it from everyone in your area in game?

[ashen silo]

source for this?

[late bane]

Us lol back in 06

[ashen silo]

Sorry, I meant that it is possible today

[late bane]

Unsure right? But his DCs were acting like it so it felt logical based off experience

[late bane]

Wasn't till the audio issues hit harder that put that to bed

+testing names and emails

The fact others mentioned it too helped

So it wasn't just us who had/have done it

I hope this event gets a video as it showed how he and probably his crew handled the challenge puzzles at that hacker convention

[brazen drift]

My Friend: i just got into my decades old runescape account

On a technical level

"doing it all day"

[blissful imp]

Saw this due to a crosspost on the DRG subreddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/AbsoluteUnits/comments/1mz1y85/of_a_fruiting_body_sporophore/

[wicked schooner]

Wait, what happened to splitgate 2?

Wasn't there hype around that?

[wheat sleet]

Last I heard there was backlash from the expensive MTX and the studio was doing layoffs

[wicked schooner]

Well shit

For a moment i thought splitgate was making a comeback cause i heard people loved the first splitgate

Never played it personally

[sinful kestrel]

technically it makes it easier to cheat, adds host advantage, and either kills the match when the hosting player disconnects or has to pause it to migrate hosts.
Better than nothing and cheaper than hosting your own servers but it comes with downsides.

[terse pelican]

Splitgate was just another fps with a gimmick. Wasn't all that good

[dusky grove]

Yknow what i want. A tf2 style pub dm fps... but wizards

Shooters, at least ones that arent already part of a series like BF or cod, nowadays are all objective based and esporty

[subtle gate]

can we have a game around "centaurs have two rib cages" ?

[terse pelican]

Fantasy Surgeon Simulator?

[dusky grove]

That would go so hard

Operating on an angel has to happen in bursts cuz all your cuts would close up to their healing

Working on ents requires a chainsaw

Merfolk would be underwater

And the blood would blind you as it turns into clouds

[bronze pier]

Try doing surgery on a cockatrice...or Medusa

[golden latch]

Fantasy Animal surgeon simulator

[opal bronze]

The Devs are shutting down splitgate 1 servers to focus on splitgate 2 but they made it P2P and made all cosmetics free on splitgate 1

At least as far as I know

[opal bronze]

Makes sense

By technical I meant like would they have had to plan this out when building the game or nah

oh sorry, I thought that was a facepalm

[golden latch]

Last few days thor has been having griefers doing there best to troll and ruin his experience in osrs one of those is suspected ddos on his ip/isp. atm he is fixing his steam bit rate and had to close it down prematurely.

[proud depot]

thor found out what happened with the stream, and apparently their ISP noticed something when the ddos-er knocked out the stream

its like they got pissed off thor was having fun trying to diagnose the issue and decided to go full burn

[fathom stone]

...Tells me they don't watch him. everything is a puzzle to him

[golden latch]

I was more making fun of the general monster topic but yeah i can see that. Also i just realized their name is angel

[fathom stone]

and he loves solving puzzles

[fathom stone]

hiiii ^^

[golden latch]

👋

[frosty mural]

oh lol lmao, thought he did something himeslf to stop the stream

I hope it ends in legal action against the attacker from the ISP

[fathom stone]

I hope soo too

[frosty mural]

if its even trackable tbh

[fathom stone]

it can be...if you have the right skills and know what you are looking for.

I am...not that person hahahha

[golden latch]

Great to hear that the isp is mitigating the issue

[daring bobcat]

depends on how they orchestrate the DDOS, if it's a distributed botnet then it'd be hard. Script kiddies tend to get sloppy tho

[proud depot]

the dude is attacking ISP's infrastucture, so its on the ISP to go after them

[frosty mural]

So much freaking REEEEEE

[golden latch]

first time? (I know it isnt but love the meme)

[glad cliff]

Also it's a bank holiday in the UK today so I'm guessing less staff are online today. Makes perfect sense to do an attack with less staff around but my god the back lash is the chat is annoying

[frosty socket]

Banhammers' getting worked

[frosty mural]

Asmon needs to come online and contain them 😄

[broken hound]

just mmo junkies being mmo junkies. they needa learn that the outside is a thing and grass wont kill em.

[proud depot]

also in the OSRS subreddit, holy shit

like a third of comments are blaming thor

[glad cliff]

Ah reddit the usual suspects

[frosty mural]

I kind of hope the attacker/s will reveal itselves 😄

i mean it would fit their IQ level after all

[proud depot]

so its possible the mitigation his ISP put in place worked then

cause this was everyone going offline

[golden latch]

Very possible this is an old group

[glad cliff]

If you're going after companies and their source of revenue they will not take kindly to it. Hope it was worth it after the companies legal teams/ law enforcement come after you

the funny thing is, the companies can have em done federally for it too which these types of ddosers/hackers fail to believe

for some reason this move and thousand ways to die in the west are messing up in my mind XD

[golden latch]

Yeah they blur a lot to be too

[frosty mural]

never forgetti the ice cube scene

[lapis tartan]

Yeah, wash your hands people, or die funny.

[wispy plover]

Finally some freaking reason

[river pivot]

It's pretty insane how selectively people are remembering how yesterday the game ran fine during the stream but apparently it happens every time he's live

[proud depot]

he just can't get over thor abandoning dune, can he *shakes head*

[lapis tartan]

That's the nature of some people mixing up the reality they build in their mind, with the actual reality around them.

[wispy plover]

Khronos in the Dunes rn probably

[frosty mural]

explanation is quite simple: first they dont play the game
second: they are just tuning in cause prolly some comunity follows this whole drama all the time and they just come in to spam chat

[lapis tartan]

The absurd accusations and full on conspiracy theories forming are just sad, stupid and sometimes cringe funny.

[river pivot]

To be fair if I got left on Arrakis I would be pretty heated too 🥁

[golden latch]

Not being able to select user then open the menu is very accident prone and twitch hasnt fixed that since forever

[broken hound]

not to mention hes been harrassed for most his time in the game but apperently hes 100% at fault cause hes big hackermans streamer.

[broken hound]

willing to bet its the kinda incel players that treat the game like a second job (if they even have first jobs) hate brigading lol

[proud depot]

*thor looking at vague blue blob* "This armor looks sick!"

[lapis tartan]

"He's 100% done and not a real hacker, but he also tricked thousands with his hacker social engineering." Which is it boss?

[proud depot]

there's so many people hate-watching the stream is up to 5k

[inland wadi]

I think he's being blamed because of correlation, Not because he is the cause.

If youre the kid that tracks mud in the house, dont get upset when people find mud and immediately check your shoes.

[golden latch]

Black badge winner or inept hacker man choose

[golden latch]

Yeah

[river pivot]

I think the part that is funniest is the amount of people claiming OSRS is their game. I didn't know so many were owners of the game that must make C suite decisions hard

[inland wadi]

He has acted up so much lately of course he has become a target, If you misbehave alot youre going to be the first to be thought of when things are broken.

[broken hound]

he should just switch to noita, and talk about everything in noita like its osrs just to see how gate keepy the haters get lol

[frosty mural]

would be a shame if ads started playing rn

[still dew]

just watched a guy spamming "what's going on" over and over for like 10 minutes, just getting more and more unhinged, until eventually he got his message deleted lmao. Caught that ban with both hands

[proud depot]

"his career is over" meanwhile 1,200 people in the first few hours of the stream is normal

[lapis tartan]

Defense of internal narrative hits hard when someone disturbs that built reality in their head.

[golden latch]

Are you trying to say this is a bart moment?

https://tenor.com/view/simpsons-bart-bart-no-force-of-habit-marge-gif-9773839971414965074

[broken hound]

"acted up" all dudes done is be part of a raid lead by a dude who couldnt lead and have differing oppinions about a movement that turned into a cult. then told people to get f'd stay f'd cause he was done giving the haters the time of day.

[proud depot]

how exactly was he misbehaving?

[frosty mural]

oh has Pritate played the runescape survival game?

[inland wadi]

Very much so

[golden latch]

Is what i see

[golden latch]

The closest is the desert water survival zone so far

[inland wadi]

Millhouse, chill. Adults are speaking. Barts not under attack.

[golden latch]

So a more they what they see not what you believe?

[proud lily]

Way to deescalate the situaton mate.

[golden latch]

That’s understandable

[river pivot]

Can't forget how he didn't apologize but did and they just ignore it happened because narrative more important

[inland wadi]

Entirely

[lapis tartan]

When you read the comment sections, check the videos, watch how they leave out key details and context to make it fit the narrative that's making them money. It's a joke.

[proud depot]

how mature of you to use such a childish insult

[frosty mural]

huh?

[golden latch]

😊 glad i was able to understand that helps communication

[inland wadi]

The OSRS discord requires you to run interference for your favorite streamer, Not here~

[golden latch]

Osrs has a desert area that you need to drink water to survive (where thor does temple daily’s) thats the closest to the survival runescape gameplay he has done would love see him play more.

[frosty mural]

i mean the runescape: dragonwilds

[golden latch]

Would love to see it but probably hasnt yet

[lapis tartan]

Oh, that game has potential, but it requires balancing for the combat and game play. It's like those other build/survivals like ark that makes bosses and enemies bullet sponges. I'm hoping they actually work it out.

[junior torrent]

How much is Runescape?

Sorry

[river pivot]

Free

[junior torrent]

...really

The one Thor is...was playing?

[still dew]

you can pay for a membership, i believe

[river pivot]

It has paid options but the game is entirely free to get and play

[terse pelican]

Game is free, But you can pay for 'membership'

[still dew]

get extra stuff

[golden latch]

I hate that ark made single player decisions with multiplayer in mind (cant bring certain dinos cause online multiplayer metas)

[junior torrent]

What kind of game is it?

[broken hound]

hes using runelite, thats why the client looks alot different

but yea its free with optional sub, but apperently you can do alot of stuff for free

[river pivot]

Number go up in funny fantasy setting is about the simplest description I can give

[golden latch]

Old point and click Mmo people like the numbers go up gameplay loop

[lapis tartan]

Yeah, you end up having to tweak game settings to make it "work" and even then it might not feel right.

[junior torrent]

Since it's free I'll try it. I don't typically like MMOs lol

Probably should try it later then lol

[winged knoll]

MMORPG

Many Men Online Role Playing Girls

[river pivot]

The last time I played OSRS was the new hotness and I spent like 3 summers off school chopping trees and making lines of campfires and nothing else

[winged knoll]

[golden latch]

I suggest avoiding the “grand exchange” or auction house and solo grind maybe even play an iron man

[winged knoll]

Would explain why Thor is Shaye’s favorite discord kitten

[golden latch]

Its a lot more the game itself rather then playing the multiplayer aspect and dropping the game cause its to easy

[broken hound]

i feel like its the other way round, thor is shayes discord kitten

[golden latch]

A classic acronym joke just like cooking by thor (C.B.T.)

[proud lily]

That's... that's what he said.

[golden latch]

I think you misread that

[broken hound]

yea, yea i did it seems

[winter sierra]

why are you guys arguing with trolls 🤦‍♂️

[frosty socket]

you very much misread that

noooo i did it again im trying not to assume bad intentions anymore

[shell osprey]

lmao what the hell why does that guy have the discord server tag that scammers in crypto servers use 😂

[golden latch]

Its okay its a tough skill to practice and learn youre fine

[junior torrent]

Thor would make a terrible poly partner though. Like, he's just... like, too basic. (This is a joke)

[golden latch]

He just needs an acidic partner to make a complex polychain

(Chemistry joke)

[winged knoll]

That’s based

[junior torrent]

Nah he needs at least a couple of hydrogen atoms

[winged knoll]

(Chemistry joke)

[daring bobcat]

he needs a couple carbon chains to fit in a poly (biochem joke... help)

[golden latch]

Based on what? (Meta joke) 🙃

[winter sierra]

shaye works for that

[winged knoll]

I ran out of joke (no joke)

[golden latch]

Im glad we had a great time 😊

[winter sierra]

base 10

[winged knoll]

Need to go to the joke store now

See ya chat

[golden latch]

I prefer the better fractional math system with base 12

[junior torrent]

Can RuneScape run on a potato?

[golden latch]

👋

[winter sierra]

base 36

[golden latch]

Osrs or runescape classic?

[winter sierra]

: )

[tribal nest]

sodium hydroxide

[golden latch]

Yes there are like 2-3 versions of RuneScape

[winter sierra]

wow thats really basic

how unoriginal

[junior torrent]

Right. Forgot about that. OS

[junior torrent]

Its not acid or alkaline

[golden latch]

What qualities as potato? Like 10+ years old or workstation pc?

[junior torrent]

...either or I guess?

[golden latch]

Have you compared your specs with recommended or minimum on their website?

[winter sierra]

i like acid because i like citric acid no other reason

[junior torrent]

Just, does it need hardcover shit to run? Do I need to call NASA and be like, "bro I need the latest Nvidia graphic chip or whatever it is these nerds are arguing over" lol

[golden latch]

Oh no integrated graphics should be enough

Tbf it is normally cpu based

Its your internet that needs to be stable

[junior torrent]

My internet is more stable than the people coming into Thor's chat and blaming him for something stupid

[golden latch]

Then you should be fine this game is like 20+ years old so potatoes should grow nice in it 😊 i hope you have fun when the game is back online

[junior torrent]

Wait how old is the game? If you say something over 26 imma scream lol

[golden latch]

[fathom stone]

Over 26

[junior torrent]

[junior torrent]

Okay so technically one of my friends is younger 😌

[golden latch]

I see well compared to most programs its not that intensive only the connection is the major requirement and thats just for stability

[junior torrent]

$20 says that a "PirateSoftware Cause RuneScape To Be DDOSed And Won't Admit It!" video goes up within twenty four hours lol

[fathom stone]

.....hhmmm

You know what

I will take that bet

How do yoou want it?

[junior torrent]

You US based?

[fathom stone]

Yeppoo

[junior torrent]

PayPal, Venmo, or Kofi?

Also is something the mods might have a problem with? Lol

[fathom stone]

Probably XD

[junior torrent]

Then let's NOT take this to DMs lol

Omg

Video from two days ago: Will Pirate Software destroy RuneScape? bros he's not even playing it "right"

His whole chat is trolling him because he's doing things "wrong" like a total noob

[fathom stone]

yep. and even I have noo idea hhhow to play runescape.

[terse pelican]

Always gonna be hyper-elitist people complaining about how someone else plays, Even more-so when it's a 'Controversial' Streamer

[fathom stone]

This sadly is true...

[junior torrent]

Wait wait wait the comments are WILD 🤣🤣🤣

Omg I need to not click on videos because as hilarious as their comment sections are, my algo is going to hate me lol

[terse pelican]

Gimme the video in a DM

Just...wow

[junior torrent]

Right?

...does this mean I win $20. /jk

[frosty mural]

should I upgrade from 4060ti to 5070ti or not...

[terse pelican]

Nah

the 5000 series is bait

[junior torrent]

Will a 5070ti cook a potato?

[tribal nest]

I will say, as much as people shat on it when it came out, the 5070 (not ti) is a fairly good bang for your buck in the high end range right now (at least when you're doing a big upgrade, and not just upgrading from a 4070 or something). Cuz from what I saw, it's cheaper than any of the higher end 50 series cards, and somehow it's also cheaper than both the 40 series cards, and similarly performing AMD cards.

Probably has to do with the awful launch causing nobody to buy it though

[oak sluice]

in reference to what I said in chat (twitch)

[winged knoll]

Jesus

[oak sluice]

yeahhh, I shouldn't be allowed near photo editing softwares

[junior torrent]

So... no baked potato?

[winged knoll]

i lost everything

[oak sluice]

I like how I named the file: Thors_finalform_transparent

I guess he is now a trans parent

[tribal nest]

That I cannot say, mine hasn't arrived yet, but from what I can see online, many people do agree that's it's a fine card (just very mismanaged)

[junior torrent]

Well now I have an expensive graphics card and no baked potato? 😭 🤣

[tribal nest]

(I just realized I may not understand the baked potato thing)

[junior torrent]

Yeah I was kidding.

[oak sluice]

my 2011 laptop could definitely bake a potato

especially when I play warframe

[junior torrent]

My high school's laptops could bake a potato

[winter sierra]

mine can when i left in under my sheets and almost burned my hand

it was charging : )

[tribal nest]

Mine can too, but that might be more to do with this than my laptop itself

[oak sluice]

jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezus

yeah that might be it

[winter sierra]

yeah no

[frosty mural]

you gotta pump those numbers up! this is my tab when im working

[winter sierra]

i would rather die then do that. and i have BAD adhd. computor must be organize

[muted robin]

Wrong, you should always be near a photo editing software

[junior torrent]

Can a computer still work if heated to tempts hot enough to bake potatoes?

[oak sluice]

I micro manage the shit out of my laptop, gotta make do with what I got cuz I aint upgrading any time soon from the one I have from 2011. Everything's expensive

[tribal nest]

oh, I have way more tabs, these are just the one on my main profile on Brave. I also have two profiles more on Brave, 2 more on Firefox (including the one that I mainly use, more than the Brave one), and one on Librewolf

[winter sierra]

my tabs

[frosty mural]

reminds me of having my old 10 y/o laptop that I had a dedicated ssd that was 512gb large and had it entirely as page file

[winter sierra]

i have 2 ferret bookmarks

[golden latch]

I cant get all my tabs in a single screen shot over 2k

[winter sierra]

you guys need help

i never understood why you would put your computer in pain like that

[golden latch]

My computer does fine 😁

[junior torrent]

Baby numbers

[golden latch]

It was 7 k but i finished a few projects

[junior torrent]

Nice.

[oak sluice]

I know, bookmarks were invented for stuff like that haha

I at most have 8 tabs open and that's when I do research or something like that

[tribal nest]

problem is, if I save those tabs to a bookmark, they're destined to be forgotten

[junior torrent]

Alright sleeping meds kicking me like a pigskin at the super bowl. Night peeps!

[winter sierra]

it actually hurts me like the MOST i will have is like ~30 + an art program

and my computer will CRY

[frosty mural]

bookmarks are for the weak! real men just leave it open till they dont need no longer

[tribal nest]

look my laptop has 32GB RAM for a reason

[golden latch]

Yeah but id rather keep a valid copy of the page on my machine then have to hyperlink to it again at a later date where it might not exist anymore (im an archivist and thats sadly very common)

[winter sierra]

it also has no graphics card and one working fan and its old and stinky

and a bunch on dead flies in it too

my laptop is ok its just kinda mid

[golden latch]

(I also hate java script with a passion)

[oak sluice]

mine's pushing its last breath lol

nvidia gtx 450 and somehow still plays warframe

technically a 950M, but I was told by a bunch of smarter people that the M series performs 4 times worse than a regular non laptop series, so it's the equivallent of a 450

[winter sierra]

amd ryzen 3 CPU and radeon RX550 GPU. i do not know if these are good or bad i am bad at computer do not make fun of me

[oak sluice]

I don't know either

all I know is

3000 series was good for nvidia

4000 was a meme

5000 explodes and melts cables

[winter sierra]

lol this computer only got 8gb on it

but i have a 1tb drive so its all good

[oak sluice]

I was gonna ask, of ram?

cuz you can download more ram

[winter sierra]

ALSO im on windows 10 : D

[oak sluice]

(for legal reasons that is a joke)

[winter sierra]

memory

[winter sierra]

for FREE 🤯 wow

[golden latch]

You can turn that memory into ram

[oak sluice]

I refuse to upgrade to 11

I will die, stupid and hacked

[winter sierra]

my computer says its to sad to go to 11

[golden latch]

Just buy the security updates

[winter sierra]

and i wont be fixing it

[oak sluice]

[golden latch]

[oak sluice]

do they accept monopoly money?

cuz that's about all I have

actually that's a fat lie

I haven't seen monopoly money since the early 2010's

[golden latch]

Ask they might cause their money making system seems pretty outthere

[tribal nest]

Aren't there programs to still receive security upgrades after windows 10 loses official support?

Forgot the name but it's like MAS or something

[oak sluice]

you mean like

Windows 10 LTSC?

[golden latch]

Yeah there are third party systems and official ways to still have updated security (dont tell Microsoft about “back-porting”) but most have costs people dont have budget for

[oak sluice]

I was advised against using the LTSC versions because those are for like, hospitals and stuff, things that aren't connected to the internet

[tribal nest]

I could swear there was an open source program somewhere, but I might be misremembering

ah, I remember what it was, but I don't know if I'm allowed to post it here since it's kind of a grey area of whether it's piracy or not

[worthy ivy]

IIRC there is a third party project to provide support after Micro$hit end of life - can't remember the name of it will have to search

Hey all, I have a weird question about Twitch, I'm not well versed on the site but a few weeks (maybe months) ago I was watching the Expedition 33 plays but now I can't seem to find them, can someone point me in that direction?

[distant rapids]

Yeah... i have bad news. The vods were deleted due to harrassment.

[thin isle]

...harassment? Oh. 🥲 I know he doesn't upload too often on YouTube but could that be in the works at all?

[dusky grove]

unsure. we know he wanted to do it for blue prince

but since the start of E33 was a sponsored segment, and a subsequent vid would either use that footage or cut out the beginning, it could be iffy

[thin isle]

Gotcha, well thanks for the info, I appreciate it

[proud depot]

thor's gonna be late getting to bed today, isn't he

It's mis-quoted. He actually worked at Big Lizard.

[odd gulch]

ah, damn THAT's why he rarely talks about it then

he would be able to use that its his gameplay he's just being paid to play it

he wouldn't sign a deal where he couldn't use it anyways

Also if I can ever afford to fly business/first class I won't be affected by the lounge restrictions

[thick ledge]

Chat I just read about a streamer nearly beating a guy to death on stream, stuff is getting out of control tbh

[river pivot]

In addition to what the other person said Shaye also said on her stream a while back that having a chainsaw would let her do hot girl shit and stop her from eating the drywall

[bronze pier]

Chainsaws can be useful tools, but you have to respect them and have the right safety gear, They make special chaps to help you from cutting into your leg if the blade slips and such.

[wheat sleet]

She would just chainsaw the drywall, and more imporantly, the support beams for the house.

[river pivot]

That just makes it so she can have bite size pieces and honestly you can lose one or two support beams

[pearl rapids]

Mmmmmm, drywall.

[distant rapids]

Do YOU have an inexplicable urge to eat drywall, but you are cautious of it's toxicity for consumption? Have no fear, for BOY do i have the product for you!

[sinful kestrel]

Don't listen to him he's just trying to keep all the delicious drywall to himself

i know people who call them "Neeko" wafers and im like "there's two C's, it should be a short E sound" and then i throw them off a cliff

[distant rapids]

sweats as i look at my google history that has "nico wafers" written in it

[frosty socket]

Iirc, pronounced the same way as Neko, but I may be mentally pronouncing Neko wrong

[bronze pier]

Well, I don't know the "official" pronunciation, but growing up and eating plenty of these back in the stone age, we always pronounced them "neck-o" wafters

wafers

[frosty socket]

Yeah, that's how Neko is pronounced, iirc

[idle hill]

I can solve this with one picture

This is Neeko
She pronounces her name both ways

Neko in combat
Neeko not in combat

So are the wafers waging war

[subtle gate]

note to self: don't google snacks of various types it just makes you hungry

[azure knoll]

It's a bit too early to be sure, but it looks like Twitch undid this change today.
︀︀
︀︀Almost every example I looked at on Saturday that showed streamers having their lowest performing streams of the year between Thursday-Saturday, are back at their 30-day average today.

Twitch's crackdown on viewbotting has intensified significantly over the last 48 hours.

Are you saying Thor "acted up" and "misbehaved alot" which is why he's being targeted?

[ivory schooner]

isnt site viewership doing down also because school is starting again?

[blissful imp]

yes.

Yeahhh, for america, school just restarted. Good ol causation vs correlation argument.

Hello chatters

Hyallo

[winged knoll]

no need to engage with unmeaningful chatter imo

Hey chat

What was that game Thor was playing one stream where he was a wizard and chat kept killing him?

[golden mirage]

Noita

[junior torrent]

Thank you!

It looked so fun!

[golden mirage]

From what I've heard, its difficult at first and you'll die a lot but once you learn some of the rules for how things work and make the rng work for you, then it starts getting fun.

well, fun at the start too, but more fun later.

[junior torrent]

Honestly just the idea of dying over and over again sounds funny AF

[golden mirage]

I think its about $20 on steam. Get it and enjoy your massacre!

[worn marsh]

I should subscribe when my budget readjusts

[wicked schooner]

As thor likes to call it "Wizard death simulator"

[junior torrent]

OMG 🤣

Btw who's Winky?

Go read the #piracy-requests channel.

[rotund trout]

they're gone 🙂

I hope I'm home by that

[junior torrent]

When is the HD2 update?

[spice dome]

Don't know. There was an announcement 36 minutes ago on hd2 discord about Xbox launch day

[junior torrent]

Oh yeah, it was a PS exclusive for a hot bit there wasn't it?

[wicked schooner]

At first i thought you meant a piratesoftware exclusive helldivers lol

[junior torrent]

Isn't that just forcing yourself to watch those overdramatic videos from Thor's haters saying things like Khronos impersonated a viewer when he donated to Thor's stream or that Thor doesn't actually know how to code?

[wicked schooner]

I meant you used PS to mean playstation, not piratesoftware

[junior torrent]

I know

[wicked schooner]

I already set all that drama shit to do not recommend
I haven't seen a single drama video on my feed

[junior torrent]

Same. I'd watch it for a good laugh but I'm not giving drama farmers money or a platfrorm.

[spice dome]

Ps/pc for two years or so. Today on Xbox too

[hollow gyro]

They still bleed through for me, though it's mostly "Is Heartbound ACTUALLY bad?" with the thumbnail answering that question in the most insulting manner, or generally no understanding of what a "Choose your own adventure" game is. It most certainly is obnoxious.

The silver lining is that it freed me from a ton of "gaming industry News" channels

[boreal flower]

the few vids i see leaking past my rigorous blocking seem to have lower and lower views these days

just spotted one posted within the last couple weeks that got sub-200k views; told yt not to recommend the channel so fast i didn't even see the name XD;

[carmine sierra]

It was never PlayStation exclusive, it was a dual release on PS and PC
However they did do the Sony thing of "Even if you aren't on PS, you need our account to play"

It was disabled for a few weeks shortly after launch because the servers were effectively getting DDOS'd by the amount of players, but then brought back later

[ashen silo]

Catching up on the osrs connection issues recently, so did it turn out to be Jagex servers being ddosed? Think I saw a tweet of that

[hasty grail]

2 parts of it

[lapis flame]

no, its apparently someone DDoSing Thors ISP

[hasty grail]

the first was a direct attack on Thor over the weekend

the 2nd and background issue is other ddos attacks on OSRS

the direct attacks hit Thor's ISP

[jolly sky]

From what I understand, DDOS'ing of OSRS's servers has happened in the past, and have been happening recently. Only ball-bearing brained people would be angry Thor for that, and not the actual people DDOS'ing

As well as that, there is someone/multiple people DDOS'ing Thor's ISP.

[azure knoll]

DDOSing is very common within the RS community especially directly towards players

Jagex infrastructure doesn't get hit -as often- but direct attacks have historically been a huge issue within PvP / pking primarily

[azure knoll]

Jagex servers have been getting hit but it was confirmed by our ISP that we are also getting hit at the node upstream

[hasty grail]

Shaye

have you ever been to Priff in OSRS?

[azure knoll]

Yes it's prettty

[hasty grail]

want a pic of RS3?

[azure knoll]

I DO

[azure knoll]

Omg

[ashen silo]

if it was isp getting hit wouldn't the stream have had issues?

It has been having issues

[golden latch]

Yeah thor has dropped out a few times but since some packets get through the stream isn’t dropped

[ashen silo]

ah but sounds like we ruled out auth layer attack theory then?

[golden latch]

Yeah even not on the game apps were having issues like discord and twitch between two separate computers

[azure knoll]

Mine was for sure, and Thor is having some problems with discord calls right now

My obs disconnected several times when I was streaming last night

[humble crag]

heh, copilot wouldn't finish generating the image twice, but ashes of bezos

[golden latch]

That reminds me of that unfinished portrait of George Washington

Same pose and everything

[humble crag]

maybe it got it's "inspiration" from there. it self prompted something like "Fiery Mogul clad in ash armor"

[muted robin]

i hope everyone in the world sees that one YT short thor made about how to submit a bug report because people also need to start being that descriptive for general IT issues

i'm sooooooo tired of people just telling me "i can't log in" and when i go "what error is coming up" they just repeat "it's not letting me in"

[golden latch]

I used computer and it didnt work please fix this issue

[muted robin]

give me an error code. an error message. a screenshot. a description of what you did. please. literally EFFING ANYTHING

[lapis flame]

just fix it

i dont have time to give you more information

[muted robin]

shout out to that one dude where i was absolutely puzzled as to why he couldn't work bc i literally gave him every single permission he needed and double checked it like 10 times

and it turns out bro just didn't scroll down

and he just never thought to do this for the like 2-3 days he had access but "couldn't get any tasks" 💀

like. do people just have zero compulsion to actually attempt anything on their own

[lapis flame]

shout out to company IT for not getting to my ticket about not being able to work on the PC im assigned.

[golden latch]

Its not noted in documentation

[muted robin]

what is it with technology where people will not be able to figure out one thing and they just instantly give up and sit on their hands and do nothing waiting for someone else to fix it for them

[muted robin]

bold of you to assume these boomers in spirit actually open their tech documents

or know that it exists

[serene valley]

uhhhh, tech having stopped giving descriptive error messages and actually just going "oopsie woopsie, it's brokey wokey!"

[golden latch]

You see thats the fun part its not a tech document its a document on how to do the workflow

[serene valley]

also just, people not training new employees properly

[golden latch]

If the smallest thing isnt included they wont do it

[serene valley]

that too

[muted robin]

idk if it's some sort of generational thing or learned helplessness or what but like i'm not even that tech savvy of a person but when i get error messages pretty much the first thing i do is try to deduce how it happened and then do like three different variations to see if that fixes it before i ask for help

[lapis flame]

giving users just enough information to make the problem worse isnt that great either.

[humble crag]

might be more personality than generational/learned helplessness.

[serene valley]

part of it is not wanting to give too much info cuz it'll open you up to abuse of the systems

[muted robin]

this is only tangentially related but this reminds me of how i have a hypothesis that being a gamer actually makes people more inclined to problem solving on their own and generally trying to comprehend Systems/overarching logic

i'm jetlagged so if i try to elaborate i'll do a bad job

[humble crag]

I think that's probably a solid correlation.

but many gamers don't bother solving problems and go to guides etc.. instead.

[serene valley]

depends on whether it's PC gaming or console gaming

[golden latch]

Some people hate any form of puzzle

[serene valley]

oh you mean like, puzzling in game

[muted robin]

but the general outline of my theory is that gaming as a whole, whether across all of gaming or in specific genres, has certain conventions of controls/mechanics/etc, and in a way a lot of the entertainment value of gaming comes from the game explaining you the basics and then setting you loose on the world and going "well figure out the rest"

[humble crag]

There are also many people that don't want to put effort into things that don't fit their plan.

[muted robin]

so in a way a lot of games actually promote problem-solving and trial and error and other things where you learn by repetition or by trying a bunch of different ways of doing things until you figure out one that sticks

[humble crag]

Another way to put it, Custmer Service is a booming industry almost entirely because of the situation you just described 😄

[golden latch]

Knowing what buttons (controls) to press to “move the character” is a massive hurdle if it isnt spelled out to someone who never has played a video game before

[muted robin]

which i think is a good mindset to promote because I feel like a lot of people don't actually know how to learn/problem solve, they basically just memorize an exact sequence that someone taught them to do and then the second there's any deviance from that sequence/expected outcome they instantly fall over and die

[humble crag]

I think it's also the reason why ChatBots and AI support will fail, becaues those people don't want to figure out their problems on their own. They want to call someone and have them fix it.

[serene valley]

also, I do find that I often need to look up the control scheme in games

but that's usually just -> open settings

[muted robin]

yeah, gaming is literally a skillset with transferable skills across genre. if you handed a non-gamer and a gamer who had never played a particular genre/game the same game, the gamer would do better bc they have transferable skills related to stuff like keyboard/controller movement, UI, etc that they can apply to trying to comprehend a new genre

I think it's quite fascinating actually

like how much of gaming relies on pre-established conventions that seem obvious but actually aren't to people who aren't experienced, if that makes sense

[humble crag]

that describes many things in life 😄

[golden latch]

I remember the two era of pc games/web games where any button was valid for controls the early days of pcs existing and the newgrounds/flash era where kids were learning how to make game my favorite was tfgh for movement keys and space for shooting with mouse for camera

[golden latch]

Knowing to search menus for a list of controls is a skill transferable from the game manual era its fascinating learning how people that have never been put in the situation interact with the things we see and do everyday. (The classic caveman in modern day movie trope)

[muted robin]

yeah so like gaming as a way to learn general life skills is interesting to me. esp as someone who is/was a teacher and studied a lot of pedagogy and andragogy

tho this isn't exactly a new avenue of thought. they've been studying the educational/cognitive benefits of games for years now

when i was really young my dad told me that playing video games helps surgeons be more accurate when they operate machines for surgery, but my child underdeveloped brain thought that he literally meant that every time i played a game i was somehow psychically connecting to surgeons and giving them energy/focus to operate klsdjflkds

So recently youtube has been recommending videos that are a wee-plus old, with less than 1000 views.

And most of them I take one look at the thumbnail and title and think: "yeah, that doesn't deserve any more views"

Like what is going on with YouTube recommendations recently?

[hasty grail]

no idea

might be related to YT ai bull$h!t

[humble crag]

That's a massive spike, is there some event tied to that?

[serene valley]

the xbox release

I guess

XBox release, and a Halo ODST crossover warbanner

Did something happen to the daily shorts? I believe none got published over the weekend.

[late bane]

Do they normally? Though it was mon to fri or something

Possible they dont have much since his 2 week vacation

means we gotta ramp up the cursed info for content

[late pond]

I'm pretty sure there wasn't one yesterday either.

I do see 3 queued up as "members first", but I can't watch those yet.

[late bane]

[subtle gate]

I'm treating the second Debt transmission as lore accurate but I don't know

[late pond]

I just checked again, and I could see two new shorts. One from a day ago, and a fresh one just now.

Either my browser cached their "members first" state for me, or I'm just observationally deficient in this regard.

I'm guessing we haven't figured out a solution for the attacks yet?

[winged knoll]

i have dyslexia and i skipped one R there

[winter sierra]

LOL

[winged knoll]

have to back read

[muted robin]

the answer is it's targeting the ISP so whoever thor's service provider is has to deal with it and he can't do anything sadly

[river cargo]

I've been a bit busy with work so haven't caught his entire stream

but have there been many attacks the past few days?

[subtle gate]

https://tenor.com/view/lizard-lizard-lizard-button-lizard-tom-the-lizard-pixar-gif-17194109322617058326

[ashen silo]

also I heard Thor on stream confirm it to be an attack on the auth layer of osrs, spamming login attempts on his email

[proud depot]

Not that I've seen, but someone was ddos-ing the osrs servers and people were coming into the stream chat blaming thor

[winged knoll]

[river cargo]

does anyone know what type of cybersec vulnerability would cause login attempts to crash servers/ddos thor?

[winged knoll]

probably 2 different things

one is the server DDOS, which target everyone
one is by spamming login attempt / change password etc, which disconnect just Thor from the game

there could be no corelation between them, we won't know the exact details unless Jagex explains

[subtle gate]

I just found out Tycus Findley has a weight problem

[ashen silo]

wait but his account worked fine on mobile which kind of disproves the auth attack, right?

[winged knoll]

could be different way pc client + mobile client keep connection to server

[brisk sparrow]

i think it was determined that someone was attacking the node above thor as well, which is why it wasnt showing up on his net monitoring stuff

[dusky grove]

so, to change topic slightly, have you guys seen Design Frame?

[idle hill]

It was both, I think. You have the servers getting DDOS'd (which would cause problems for everyone, but the attackers would blame Thor,) or Thor's ISP getting attacked, on the node above him - so he wouldn't see any of the network traffic

[exotic forge]

people actually blaming Thor?

[wicked schooner]

The hate raid blamed thor

But that was just a short moment
