buy iphone 7 and jailbreak it xD

strange estuary
#

might make some more app icons soon though

#

not for me but

#

other people, it's pretty fun

proper jungle
#

meanwhile me who just have apps randomly spread around 4 pages

#

lol

strange estuary

😭

I never tried to make my apps look nice til then lol

proper jungle

and bank apps

sullen sorrel

🌭

proper jungle

ye I never cook

#

am always ordering

#

xD

#

am such a lazy guy

sullen sorrel
#

I've got 11 app folders

#

πŸ₯²

#

looks ugly

proper jungle
#

Ive gooot

#

3

sullen sorrel
#

but I don't want to scroll a million pages to get to an app

proper jungle
#

and the 3rd one was automatically there

#

which is for the utility stuff

#

like measure, calc, etc.

#

xD

strange estuary
#

made an entire dinner for my family last night, got everyone dessert and smoothies

proper jungle
#

I think that I would be able to count on my fingers for how many time Ive cooked

strange estuary
#

practicing for when I move out xD

#

oof

proper jungle
#

xD

sullen sorrel
proper jungle
#

Ive been checking my bank transaction history

strange estuary
#

just learn to make grilled cheeses

proper jungle
#

and Ive found out

strange estuary
#

you'll be fine πŸ™

proper jungle
#

that Ive spent like 10k$ on food delivery

#

quite crazy

strange estuary
#

whaaaaaaaa

proper jungle
#

yea

sullen sorrel
proper jungle
#

I live alone so like

sullen sorrel
#

over how long?

proper jungle

am ordering every day

strange estuary
#

fair enough

proper jungle
strange estuary
#

I'm kinda terrified to live by myself

#

but oh well

proper jungle
#

thats 166$/mo

#

that aint that bad

lime torrent
#

I normally just search for what I want (as long as I remember XD)

strange estuary
sullen sorrel
proper jungle
#

yea

#

well

#

Ive been at school like 2 years ago

strange estuary
#

especially since the past 5 years have been the highest prices of everything

proper jungle
#

so for 3 years I was not really ordering every day

#

but ye

#

^ Ive lived on cereals and milk

#

xDDD

strange estuary
#

xD

proper jungle
#

and instant noodles

#

am like underweight tbh

solar sinew
#

seems like a peek into my college life πŸ˜†

proper jungle
#

but I cannot gain weight

proper jungle
strange estuary
#

I'm starting college life soon

#

probably going to be doing ramen like everyone else

#

πŸ₯²

#

will have homemade bread every weekend at least xD

proper jungle
#

wait whats college

#

high school or uni

strange estuary
#

uni

solar sinew
#

uni

proper jungle
#

ah

#

never been there

#

xD

#

am working since Ive been 13yo

#

so yeee Ive got pretty different opinions regarding schools & such

strange estuary
#

yeah I get that

#

I'm just going the "traditional" route with things atm

proper jungle
#

yea absolutely, I havent meant to hate or something

#

most people just continue studying

#

I just havent had much reasons

strange estuary
#

nah I know xD

solar sinew
proper jungle
#

bro you dont have to tell me

#

you are just

#

maniac

#

xDDD

strange estuary
#

yeaaaaaaaaah so we know who the psychopath is

solar sinew
#

😭

proper jungle
#

if I wouldnt know ur name & address, than I would say you are asian

#

xDDD

#

then*

strange estuary
#

calling math mathematics is the first red flag

#

(joking)

proper jungle
#

math is so cool tho

#

math was one of my fav

strange estuary
#

it really is, I just can't process it all well

proper jungle
#

but never was that great at it

#

I was only great at certain parts

#

that I could have easily visualize

#

so Ive been just doing particle animations in MC

#

xD

strange estuary
#

pre calc/trig has me so confused lol

solar sinew
#

i am currently solving an issue that would have been impossible without knowledge of basic linear algebra and slightly advanced trig

strange estuary
#

at times, not all of it

solar sinew
#

and it's paid off

strange estuary
#

some of it is actually really fair and easy

strange estuary
proper jungle
#

how bad idea is it making server on minestom solo?

#

xD

#

I wanna take a look into game dev

#

and switching to minestom is like mid-step

solar sinew
strange estuary
#

good, but gta 7 will be out before your server is

proper jungle
#

bcs you need to code everything urself basically

proper jungle
#

I dont really wanna do SMP

solar sinew
#

depends how custom you're going for

proper jungle
#

completely tbh

sullen sorrel
#

but calc is fun

solar sinew
#

not even knockback is there

proper jungle
#

there is

solar sinew
strange estuary
#

she gives us study guides for each test that really help

proper jungle
#

and there's already a lib for vanilla pvp as well

sullen sorrel
strange estuary
#

otherwise I'd fail every test probs

proper jungle
strange estuary
#

it's just.. a lot to take in

#

especially with how my school works

proper jungle
#

how hard would it be to just take a look into vanilla server jar

#

and take a look how its being calculated

#

and make it thread safe

solar sinew
sullen sorrel
#

ohhh

#

yeah that's true

proper jungle
sullen sorrel
proper jungle
#

I just like doing stuff on my own

#

but usually I just abandone it

#

however its something that I do in Waves (Our plugins core)

#

Ive got my own blocks handling there

#

which is completely based on packets & such

sullen sorrel
proper jungle
#

and I kinda like skipping the spigot API

#

xD

#

I mean spigot logic

solar sinew
proper jungle
#

Ixume do ya know pointers & such?

solar sinew
#

i understand the concept but haven't written c or c++

proper jungle
#

I might have a question

solar sinew
#

learning a low level language is on the todo list

proper jungle
#

I mean overall like pointers in RAM & such

#

in all languages

#

I am just curious what takes more space

#

instance of Chunk

solar sinew
#

i doubt you'll get a high quality answer from me but sure

proper jungle
#

or a simple data class that holds X & Y

solar sinew
#

i mean ofc Chunk takes up more just because it has more data

proper jungle
#

thats not true

sullen sorrel
#

pre optimization code something something 🚨 🚨 🚨

proper jungle
#

bcs only thing that you cache

#

is pointer to Chunk instance

#

not whole chunk

#

bcs the Chunk instance already exists

#

as the chunk is loaded in server's cache

sullen sorrel
#

ideally you shouldn't be holding an instance of Chunk

proper jungle
#

yea

sullen sorrel
#

i think?

proper jungle
#

I mean yea

#

but on the other hand Ive got it secured enough to do so

#

bcs I just remove it when it is unloaded

strange estuary
proper jungle
#

and when the player cannot see the chunk

sullen sorrel
strange estuary
#

didn't mean to put a ? lol

proper jungle
#

because Ive got an issue

#

I was trying to add Folia support to Waves

#

and we have got Chunk tracking

#

to track what chunks can be seen by players

#

so you can do Chunk#trackedByPlayers()

#

and it returns a list of players

#

that can see that chunk

#

however the thing is that am listening to packets in order to do so

#

and while the packet listener is ran async

#

I cannot retrieve a chunk by X & Y on folia

#

it just throws an error

#

and I cannot switch between threads

#

so ye so many issues xD

#

^ I cannot switch for a simple reason. Am overriding that chunk packet

#

and that would cause delayed packet receival

#

I might be stupid, but this could have literally fixed it?

#

xDDDD

#

I havent thought abt wrapping just the chunk retrieval and using the completable future

#

and joining it

#

you look good

tacit flicker

whatre you talking about.

urban cave
#

about the clown emoji you sent

#

its obviously photo of you

#

nah man jk take care

Tried looking in bbb and mcmodels and couldnt find anything

#

some help would be nice

vagrant pike

idk

#

you should learn image search

tacit flicker
#

I already knew this.

#

I wanted to know where they got the sprite from

#

I've seen that scroll sprite in multiple servers.

urban cave
#

they could have made them themselves?

#

and the other servers just stolen them then

long summit
#

Yeah, the amount of servers that steal assets from us on MCCI and from Origin Realms is crazy

tacit flicker
#

oh damn, so those assets arent available on the market?

unreal venture
#

the fact that they even try to resell em as resources on polymart is crazier 😭

oh gosh I finally figured out how to reflect constructor parameter types for particles

#

I'm sure I explained that wrong but W

river iron
#

anyone here can help me to convert my Java Texturepack(Itemsadder) to Bedrock?

strange estuary
vagrant pike
#

or rather a small part of it

strange estuary
#

Idk if you were in yesterdays conversation but I'm using VB v6

#

so it's much more of a mess

naive agate
#

YO SKYPE IS SHUTTING DOWN

#

no WAY

river iron
strange estuary
#

I dunno

vagrant pike
naive agate

shut up

vagrant pike

strange estuary
#

my next goal is to figure out how to put these data types into a config, and let the plugin read the config as actual particle data 😎

tacit flicker
#

Im lf a vouchers plugin for my minecraft server

#

what would you guys recommend as the best vouchers plugin?

strange estuary
#

I mean, any should work relatively, no?

tacit flicker
#

lee coming in clutch as always 😭

strange estuary
#

Idk what vouchers are like now but they all kinda do the same job

#

something like this, looks modern & updated etc

tacit flicker
#

its really bad Imo

strange estuary
#

in what ways?

tacit flicker
#

you can't configure as much as you'd like

#

the process to make a voucher is in-game, you cant write the vouchers in yaml style

#

and the vouchers don't save.

#

there is no file that saves the voucher.

strange estuary
#

Ah lovely, dumb in game editors

tacit flicker
#

^

strange estuary
#

bruh so they update it on modrinth but have it premium on spigot

#

I'd just use that, CV is reliable made by reliableish devs (if I'm remembering right)

tacit flicker
#

Fair fairs

#

another question, I want to work on a qol update on my server

#

as Im releasing custom armors/items/tools a lot

#

and instead of the boring mending enchant, I want to introduce an item known as "Repair Gems"

#

and to use them, you must open a blacksmith GUI where its like an anvil, you drag the item you want repaired & the repair gem to repair their durability

#

any idea how I can get around making something like this?

strange estuary
#

uhh you're likely not going to be able to do that without custom plugins Shrug

#

Kind of on the niche side, most menu plugins don't even support drag and drop stuff yet

#

which is a shame since drag and drop custom guis would be lovely

tacit flicker
#

I want to learn plugin development, I just don't know how to start.

strange estuary
#

don't do what I did and start with visual bukkit

#

just go straight for hands on

tacit flicker
#

I mean how

#

Is there like any guides 😭

strange estuary
#

Plenty of guides

#

youtube, google, forums, all that

#

infinite number of guides

vagrant pike
#

visual bukkit what the sigma

#

I mean, it could be good as a learning point

#

but I'd guess it would be a bottleneck (in terms of what you can do) pretty quickly

tacit flicker
#

It looks really complicated 😭

#

Thats insane coming from me

#

I usually work on C++/C# which are harder languages than java

vagrant pike
#

how is C# "harder" than java

tacit flicker
#

making a plugin

tacit flicker
#

Im being really biased since I've never used java

#

just watched 1 video on it.

vagrant pike
#

well your first problem is learning C# first

tacit flicker
#

How come?

vagrant pike
#

going from C# to Java is harder than from Java to C#

tacit flicker
#

I rarely did C#

#

was mainly C++

#

becuase of a little indie game I used to play called "Growtopia"

#

bro

#

crazy opinion.

#

playboi carti>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>any of your favorite artist πŸ’€

vagrant pike
#

what

#

sadly I dont have any

strange estuary
#

I mean, V6 is a good intro to classes/methods, logic, and what not I guess, idk, I just think I should have used all my freetime and learned actual java instead of VB, now I'm more busy lol

young mortar
#

you literally just make one class that extends JavaPlugin, and make event listener classes, that's pretty much it

light scaffold
young mortar
#

yeah you'd think, but i've known a few people who do a lot of C stuff, their biggest complaint is just "let me do what i want with this memory", they don't want to cast or use classes and stuff

#

it was an uphill battle to get him to use an enum for directions instead of just 0/1/2/3

light scaffold
#

😭

#

i mean it's like the difference between automatic and manual transmission right, you might prefer one but automatic is objectively simpler

long summit
#

@cosmic carbon again? lol

strange estuary
#

Okay I'm not expecting an exact answer, perhaps just a pointer.. but uh I'm trying to find all the data needed for a particle, add it to a file, and allow the particle spawn method to detect the data in the config as actual intpretable particle data

young mortar
#

uh in normal Java, you'd look at the method that spawns particles, and just get a serialized object of those parameters in your config

strange estuary
#

I know how to find the methods getToColor, getSize, etc. I'm just kinda lost on how I get the particle method to intrepret the config as actual data

strange estuary
young mortar
#

yeah i mean i'm not really sure on vb, but you could just have all the primitive properties as separate things and then build the method yoruself

proper jungle
#

@eternal cairn @cosmic carbon don't chat in #showcase

#

however ty guys

long summit
#

@eternal cairn that channel is not for chatting

young mortar
#

iirc it's World#spawnParticle() something

strange estuary
#

Yea I already have a procedure handling particle spawning

eternal cairn
strange estuary
#

it spawns everything with all data fields except per-particle data, such as dust color etc

young mortar
strange estuary
#

I have 2 different particle spawners tho

#

1 world, 1 player, player is for particles that have placeholderapi integration

#

e.g. %player_name% == 0bviouslee, show particle, %player_has_permission_super.cool.particle% show particle is when the player spawn particle method is used

#

anyway yeah, per particle data is the only thing that has me stumped

young mortar
#

apparently it's a generic in Java

#

so you can just pass whatever type it wants per the enum value of Particle

strange estuary
#

not sure that's the same field

young mortar
#

like, spawnParticle(Particle particle, double x, double y, double z, int count, T data)?

strange estuary
#

oh actually nvm, you're right

long summit
strange estuary
#

indeed it is

#

the way I did this before was scarier

#

it was just if/else spam of "if data equals this, set local var to correct data"

#

that's why V5 is just inefficient despite being better for the typical user, huge lack of freedom

#

combined with me just not really having a good programming mindset at the time, despite how cursed VB is I feel like I did a pretty decent job in terms of optimization

vagrant pike
#

scratch on steroids

strange estuary
#

yep

young mortar
#

so yeah anyways, do you still have questions lol

strange estuary
#

uhhh, I think I might be good

#

I just have to figure out how to cast a config value to this:

#

For each type of data as well

#

but yeah I'm just going to play around with it, it shouldn't be too bad

young mortar
#

ooh yeah my first suggestion is sealed classes, but i doubt vb has that lol

#

maybe you can use a discriminator, and just manually map it yourself?

strange estuary
#

I'm thinking something like that perhaps

strange estuary
#

What exactly is a sealed class

light scaffold
#

a class where there are a finite, known set of allowed subclasses

young mortar
#

yeah it has a lot of technical implications and stuff

strange estuary
#

Ahh gotcha

#

yeah I don't think that's a thing here lol

young mortar
#

but the real point is that it's basically an enum but for classes

strange estuary
#

aghhh that'd be convenient here

young mortar
#

in other languages, enums just can be complex types, but sadly in OOP land we must resort to other methods

strange estuary
#

oh dang, yeah defo use that

#

it wasn't on the top searches rip πŸ₯²

#

ori is da bomb

light scaffold
strange estuary
light scaffold
#

not 100% sure on what ur trying to do here ngl

strange estuary
young mortar
strange estuary
light scaffold
#

yep, and the allowed type of T is returned by this method as far as i can tell

young mortar
#

yeah but I think it just is a static mapping shown in the Javadocs

light scaffold
#

what do you mean

young mortar
light scaffold
#

look at the method i linked lol

young mortar
#

yeah i know

#

you don't need it at runtime

light scaffold
#

oh what

#

isnt the problem to do with knowing what type to deserialize?

young mortar
#

the problem is that visual bukkit is like 7 layers of abstraction above actual Java so you can't just automatically deserialize to a sealed class hierarchy

light scaffold
#

i think im still misunderstanding the actual problem

young mortar
#

i think the thing was that he just didn't know how best to actually deserialize these different fields, unrelated to actually spawning the particle

light scaffold
#

right

young mortar
#

and it turns out i guess the only way is just to manually write deserializers for all the types

light scaffold
#

so surely you can do something like this ```java
Particle particle = Particle.valueOf(config.getString("particle-type"));
Class<?> dataType = particle.getDataType();
Object data = config.get("particle-data", dataType);
// ...
world.spawnParticle(x, y, z, particle, data);

#

(well, apart from the fact the data classes arent ConfigurationSerializable, but i guess you can use gson or something)

young mortar
#

oh yeah that is probably what i'd do tbh

#

just don't know if you can do that in vb

strange estuary
#

whaaaaaa

young mortar
#

or how their serialization system works lol

light scaffold
#

oh

#

yeah thats a whole other question

strange estuary
#

to be honest it's not as limited as it may look

#

definitely limited, definitely worse, but V6 took a lot of limitations off

light scaffold
#

limited or not, i dont think we're qualified to answer this question haha

young mortar
#

yeah no this is pure speculation lol

strange estuary
#

yeah I get that my bad haha, my initial question expected that, just hoping for pointers

#

some java logic can be converted into VB, but not everything

young mortar
#

i guess find out the limits of the visual bukkit serialization system

strange estuary
#

right now data is altered via /bp flag RANDOM_SAVED_PARTICLE count (value)

light scaffold
#

i dont know :(

strange estuary
#

gotcha, no probs

light scaffold
#

wait what are you asking exactly

#

youll need to make another command i guess

young mortar
#

yeah wait like in-game editor?

light scaffold
#

probably the easiest way is to expect a json string in the same format that /particle uses?

strange estuary
#

This is essentially what I meant

#

so all of the non particle-specific data options are edited this way, I was attempting to do the same for particle-specific data fields, such as toColor fromColor etc

light scaffold
#

there are a lot of possible options, is the thing

#

especially the Block particles, there are probably thousands of possible combinations

strange estuary
#

yeahhhh, I guess that's why in my last build of this I literally just had if/else spam of the data sets

light scaffold
#

😟

strange estuary
#

such as^

light scaffold
#

πŸ˜•

#

well, you could try and make a bunch of commands

#

or only support a few things like dust colors?

strange estuary
#

How inefficient is doing it this way truly? xD

#

if I were to replace the current if statements with getting the actual class names to prevent errors

light scaffold
#

it's not really a matter of efficiency, more that it's gonna be miserable to develop

strange estuary
light scaffold
#

imo

tacit flicker
#

Thanks for whoever pinged on the vouchers plugin

#

gonna experiment on it rnn!

strange estuary
#

light scaffold
#

it's not as simple as just material types

tacit flicker
#

(my fault for asking too many questions😭) What would yall say the best build shop is? I recently bought a 15$ map of breadbuilds and realised blossomcraft used the same map, so Im wanting to change maps.

light scaffold
#

but in practice i guess it is

strange estuary
#

ah true, fair

#

In my last build I didn't even include block states

#

lol

light scaffold
#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

#

thats an option too i suppose

strange estuary
#

eh, I'm just going to finish this up similar to how it was in my last build and learn actual java, perhaps fix this up in the future

#

this build is already more optimized and works better at the very very very least

#

and has mini message but that's a very minor addition lol

tacit flicker
#

unpopular opinion, I haevily dislike drake.

light scaffold
#

maybe this vb thing isn't that bad but it seems EXTREMELY limiting and annoying

light scaffold
strange estuary
#

it's not horrific but yeah it's not particularly "worth it"

light scaffold
#

it doesnt seem worth it at all yeah haha

strange estuary
#

it deserves a lil more credit than it deserves

#

but not for creations like this

light scaffold
#

maybe for tiny things

strange estuary
#

yep

young mortar
#

yeah imagine the simple beauty of a kotlinx.serialization hierarchy for that bad boy

#

it'd just work 😌

@leaden pike why not to use text displays with billboard & translation?

#

using it you wouldnt need to tick the movement and it would be attached to the player directly

I actually havent really looked into TextDisplays, I was updating this from an older 1.19 version of the plugin

Can they be attached to a player?

What's the best place to buy a build from?

#

Im trying to purchase a spawn for my survival server

#

I looked at coastlinecreations, breadbuilds

#

couldn't find anything suitable

#

they're all either too crazy detailed, overused or don't have what I need.

I tried that

#

got charged 400$ for a 200x200 map

#

what's chunkfactory?

#

I saw it, Im looking at it right now thank you :)

strange estuary
#

custom builds are crazy priced

frank pasture
#

Pre-made spawns are underrated too, the chance of someone going β€œhey that’s a pre-made” is slim to none

urban cave
#

its not "that's a premade" but "that's stolen from xy.z"

urban cave
strange estuary
#

90% of players literally do not care if you use pre-made stuff

#

won't even notice

frank pasture
#

I mean from the perspective of a server owner joining is slim to none, and the chance of a player saying is the same.

Especially if you buy a premade that’s new or not many downloads

strange estuary
#

Stock configs? Players don't see it

#

Free maps? No one cares

#

you'll get a couple of haters but when you run an SMP/Lifesteal doesn't matter, players are too uneducated in those fields to care or even look into it

frank pasture
#

Yep exactly

strange estuary
#

you're going to get haters regardless

urban cave
#

yeah I get that

strange estuary
#

the way I see it, run things as cheap as possible as long as you put effort into what matters

#

which hurts to say, since I'd love to support the working MC community, it's like supporting local businesses

#

however, it's extremely hard to tell who cares and who pretends to care about your project

frank pasture
#

I think even when you’re bigger, the chance of someone spotting a pre-made is next to none. I buy premades but haven’t used them.

There’s so many premades out there now that spotting one is like a needle in a haystack

strange estuary
#

yeahhh, too saturdated

#

pre 2020-2021 is a different story

#

now everyone and their grandma sells setups/premades/maps/configs/everything

frank pasture
#

I think why spend $200+ on a map when you can spend $20 on double the size map, and players won’t even notice or care

#

All they want is the experience

strange estuary
#

Mhm

#

A few people I've worked with / spoke too recently seem to think players care about the map more than they actually do

#

In my experience, if you run like an SMP/Lifesteal, the spawn doesn't reaaaaaaaaaaaally matter as long as all the NPCs are close by and all common functions are within view ranges / easy to get to

Staring a project also kinda works like a "favorite" button so you can find it on a list
It also makes the repository more likely to be found on the "explore repositories" area

#

I just thought about something that I'm surprised hasn't been done yet (or done widely)

#

Someone's probably going to find 1000 flaws with my idea but it was just something that popped into my mind πŸ˜‚

#

But a plugin that basically bans all players that are added to a list by trusted users for with certain categories.

So Trusted User 1 adds coolguy113 to the "Cheater" list, boom every server with this plugin and has ban_cheaters: true will have coolguy113 banned

Trusted User 47 adds somebodyelse to the "Toxic" list, boom every server with this plugin and has ban_toxic: true will have somebodyelse banned

etc etc

proper jungle
#

not only discord/mc related

#

but overall anything community related

strange estuary
#

oh yeah I know that

proper jungle
#

but yes as you are running your own standalone "communities" it has a lot of flaws

strange estuary
#

I'm just surprised this isn't something super popular with servers since there's so many cheaters

proper jungle
#

like fake flags

#

not much ways to provide a proof

#

etc.

strange estuary
#

Yeah I was thinking there could be whitelisted users per server

#

Tbh my idea would only work on big server, not small ones

proper jungle
#

what I was thinking of instead of a points system

#

so for example

#

temp bans, permanents bans, etc would give points

#

to the banned user

strange estuary
#

Ah that's a good idea too

proper jungle
#

and if the user has for example 100 points

#

then it would automatically flag this user as banned everywhere

#

bcs then its already verified by many other networks

strange estuary
#

Yeah 100% that's a good idea

proper jungle
#

also each network could have had like its own "profile"

#

basically all bans are bound to the server where they are coming from

#

and some servers can mark other servers as whitelested

#

so the bans would be mirrored

strange estuary
#

Tbh that'd really help the cheating issue

#

Or just annoying player issue lol

#

(people who join just to spam bad stuff or advertise or whatever)

proper jungle
#

ye you can also just keep those users to be permanently muted xd

strange estuary
#

Wouldn't fix the alt/vpn problem but

#

Eh

#

That'll always be a thing probably

proper jungle
#

yea

strange estuary
#

At least on places like Hypixel xD

proper jungle
#

there's no way to avoid that

#

I mean you can do anti vpn

#

but thats not great at all

#

as anyone can literally make their own VPNs

strange estuary
#

Yep

proper jungle
#

ofc antivpns slightly filters it

#

bcs people are just stupid enough not to find the way how to make the vpn

#

but

#

on the other hand VPNs are casually used as well

#

not just for the alt purposes

strange estuary
#

I thought about this too because I plan on making a server that can have a lot of people in it

#

And I'm going with the approach of "strict anticheat, more likely false bans"

#

I know false bans are probably gonna make some people mad, but I'd rather have a few upset people with way less cheating complains than be another hypixel

#

And cheaters are just instantly going to get perma bans, I'm not really sure why Hypixel issues like 1 month bans for cheaters like they aren't just dump accounts or people who will change their mind in a month

strange estuary
#

However I feel we could make it less easy to abuse in the modern era

analog marlin
#

i think this is actually a place where you can take inspiration from how crypto networks operate

#

specifically, have the data about user bans, etc. be federated so that each server manages their own data

#

and you can also choose which servers' data you deem to be trustworthy

#

#

we could call it the grass block chain! get it! 🀣

Or larkyy's point system which would be great

unreal venture

imagine all the kids just banning random users

#

and then u end up being banned on your own server

strange estuary

it'd be a very select few people

unreal venture
#

ye ig

#

mby it already exists but we arent aware of

cause its a private thing amongst big server owners

except it IS luxury costs

Exactly

blazing oar

but those are rare

long summit

Plus the feeling of superiority they have over others for what they own

strange estuary

What I mean is, they market their phones as cameras suited for movie production, which those cameras cost like 10k, so apple suits themselves as like

"well you basically have a movie camera for 10x cheaper!!"

this whole thing reminds me of how everyone goes for NVidia / RTX despite AMD having better gpus, it's all marketing (if I'm wrong on this feel free to correct me, this is just what I've read and was told from my stepdad who does computer stuff)

AMD is a direct competitor to nvidia for general/average consumers

trim raft
young mortar
#

my M1 Macbook Air i could just run all day long no problem, i could charge it once a week for school and it would do just fine and run everything well, plus it had no fans which was sweet

#

oh yeah Intel had like, one good gen (12th) in the last like 6 years

#

AMD has just been bangin em out nonstop, it's been awesome

strange estuary
young mortar
#

AMD has shitty drivers and lacks a lot of features, plus no CUDA

#

that's mostly the reason I bought a 4070 Super over a 7900 XT

strange estuary
#

ah fair

blazing oar
young mortar
#

i mean i literally lived it lol

strange estuary
#

so I guess they have nvidia beat in power (or did previously) just not good side features

young mortar
#

had an AMD graphics card for a few years, was awful

trim raft
long summit
#

AMD gpus are very good in the mid tier but nvidia is destroying on the high end, so much that new AMD gen doesn't even have a competitor to the 5080 +
(even though the 50 series suck)

young mortar
#

for raw raster power and vram, it's nice, but just missing all the other stuff i'd want plus GPU acceleration in a bunch of 3d modeling stuff, it's just not worth it

strange estuary
#

Was AMD doing better than 40s?

#

I mean 50s are still new so, I'd say give it a minute

blazing oar
#

Drivers were shit in the old gpus, everyone I know that has a 7900 XT(X) has had 0 issues related to drivers, what features does it lack? frame gen? upscaling? has it all.

DLSS is like 100x better than FSR, Reflex is superb, CUDA (as mentioned before) and GPU acceleration in a bunch of software

you must be out of date

i have literally tried it in the last few months lol

#

i don't think you can sway my opinion of how FSR looks on my setup to me lmao

blazing oar

FSR 3.1 is on par with DLSS 3.5, and FSR 4 is rumored to be hella big of an improvement

Every time I try it there is something annoying me, last I remember was water reflections where the light flickered so much that I couldn't handle it

young mortar

at least to me

young mortar
blazing oar
#

I have tried both, and seen videos on both, while I see differences, and while DLSS 3.5 might win by a slight bit, they are pretty much on par imo

it's just nice to have that feeling of "YES PUT IT ALL ON HIGH OR ULTRA" and it just runs great

tbh raytracing in games is pretty overrated though in a lot of stuff, obviously nice for certain games made for it, but usually it's not that noticeable

still fake frames πŸ™‚

and only 1 strikes a good balance between latency and framerate

that's the whole point
