Could potentially use MoCA if you have accessible coax cables. But MoCA adapters aren't cheap
noble jackal
yeah i looked into Power Line adapters at one point, but owell, i can still game on my PC next to the router and my wifi is good enough for my Roku to stream netflix
but i did the steam streaming when it first hit and there was abit of latency.
ripe tendon
I had really bad performance with PoE adapters in comparison to MoCA
noble jackal
will keep that in mind, thanks
ripe tendon
I think I got probably 1/3 of my speeds when using PoE and I get full speeds with MoCA but, as I said, they're pricey.
For reference I spent $257 total on : 2 Actiontec Bonded 2.0 MoCA Adapters, 1 Motorola Bonded 2.0 adapter, and 2 TP-Link 5-port unmanaged gigabit switches
But in return I got full wired speeds to my desktop, smart tv, xbox one, ps4, steam link, and anything else I place near enough for an ethernet cable

I was thinking of supporting hack-vs-hack servers in Redprints, but I wanna know what general gamers think of it.
I see it like how speedruns sees tool-assisted runs. As long as you use your tools only against other people using tools, and away from those who don't use them, I say do your own thing.
I want to have an option in the Play menu that you can toggle that looks for HVH servers for you instead so you don't ruin the experience of normal players

Hey. This is pretty silly but: Be aware that I have no care for e-sports.
Wooting pitch the fact that the Wootings allows you to move at increased movement speed while benefitting from stationary aim or silent footsteps compared digital keyboard users, in CSGO. But this seems like literally cheating in my opinion. A clear advantage, a selling point yes. A feature that seems only present due to controller support. Quirky. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
indigo marsh
@molten fox Doesn't seem more like cheating to me than having a high(er) DPI mouse, a high(er) resolution and/or framerate monitor, etc.
orchid prism
You can do it with controller and mouse. I fail to see the cheating element here 😄
ripe tendon
Wooting offers a range that typical digital input from keyboards don't offer. It's not hacking or bypassing anything it's just taking advantage of what's there.
I'd argue that typical non-analog keyboards are holding e-sports players back (along with the devs who won't implement default analog support for keyboards)

goes both ways

I'm all for speaking your mind on twitter but you gotta realize there are consequences with that stuff
Agreed

idk why so many people cant just ignore stuff nowadays
I see it on reddit all the time too where people just want to argue over the most worthless stuff
ripe tendon
I do it sometimes but I don't think I'd ever take it to that level

I mean in general it just seems like people would rather make an ass of themselves in public forums than just ignore something they disagree with
which is weird to me, I just downvote and close the tab

I dont think it's officially been said that it's them that were fired we just know 2 devs are gone
Most of her responses seem super bitchy but that's just my opinion
ripe tendon
Ehh I don't entirely agree there
you represent that company and while it does suck you should be mindful of the attention you bring towards it
bleak pike
I agree but you shouldn't be held as a repersentative outside of work.
If i ever get put in this case i just wont touch social media
ripe tendon
Also we don't know for sure that it was them that is gone yet

It could also be part of policy for that company

People getting fired for their view on things even if its not releated to the company.
ripe tendon
attacking people is a bit more than just having a view
bleak pike
If someone makes a big deal about something in my workplace and i express my opinion of the matter outside of work even if its stuipid
does not mean i should loose my job
No i agree attacking people is a bit much, but its outside of work.
On her personal account
Like, dont get me wrong, standards should be set as a public figure, even tho i dont work for Wooting i have a responsibility to be careful.
Im talking in general not just this person
But thats because im on here all the time, if i was a public figure for some reason id just avoid social media all together due to how risky it is to speak freely

I doubt it would happen if it were a nobody who wasn't known

You'd be surprised.

I mean it does sometimes but in this case I wouldn't expect it to happen

These days you can be prosecuted for shit on social media.
We are heading that direction were bosses stalk your social media etc

avoid politics and talking about your own products and you are probably ok
if you're on social media and dont want to get fired that is
also probably dont put your employer and current job title in your bio unless you want your comments reflect on them

But at the same time its wrong you have to hold bck
from having an opinion etc in most cases

She followed her twisted ideals not unlike a cult member, and attacked a content creator that is actually partnered with ArenaNet for merely having a differing opinion on one of the ingame living world stories. Sexism is the reason she was fired, and peter fries decided to white knight for her instead of being quiet like other devs on twitter
I actually watched this unfold live and thought it was hilarious

Warframe is fun until you have everything worthwhile in the game

yes but digital extremes actually removes things instead of adds

then you never have a need for battleeye nor would you ever encounter it
i'm all about privacy and being vigilant about that stuff, but things like battleeye are good in the limited context that they are exercised. it runs only while the game is running for the purpose of scanning files related to the game executables/resources.
i'm not saying it's good at it's job, or anything, but it's also not stealing information from anyone lol
young crow
it doesn't do just that, unfortunately
hushed iris
is it capable of bad behavior? yes. does it perform bad behavior? demonstrably, no
we could get into a week long discussion on ethics and the nuances of such software
young crow
i don't like the fact that there could be something like that on my pc, really
hushed iris
well, fine, and that's your right to be concerned
but at the end of the day, if you have a facebook account (for example) then you give up way more information on a daily basis than battleye will ever even record
young crow
i don't 😛
hushed iris
well you're in the very small minority lol
i respect it but i couldn't get by without one honestly
so in relative terms, i can see why you'd be averse to this
but for me, i don't see it as a bad thing, really
young crow
just pretty fascinating how cheaters are afaik almost non-existent in overwatch and their anticheat isn't even running in kernelmode and then there's pubg with battleye
hushed iris
that's totally fair. i'd say the issue is more with unreal engine than pubg, though
you have to roll your own anti-cheat with unreal
young crow
also correct
hushed iris
whereas blizz is custom everything
young crow
the point is ue4 is opensource

therefore UE4 being opensource doesn't change anything

it is pretty valid in that case
young crow
reverse engineering requires knowledge on the topic
hidden oak
which every cheat developer has
hushed iris
it's not something you should rely on, but it is valid in the sense that if you make it reasonably difficult enough to reverse engineer/hack
hidden oak
looking at the source code won't yield you with enough information if you're not familiar with the low level elements of the software
it might aid you in developing said cheats
bleak pike
About the Facebook thing, you can still use Facebook without being a sheep, I stopped using it years ago and made a mew account, only use messenger for family and my profile picture is me but timeline pic is just a game pic that's it, no work info, no location etc

but on itself it won't help that much
young crow
it makes it incredibly easy though.
hushed iris
@bleak pike do you also disable location services on your phone for FB? are you friends with your RL friends? all this data can be used to extrapolate who you are IRL
young crow
as for reverse engineering - there are tricks designed to mess with people who decide to mess with software

@hushed iris I know how Facebook works I don't even have the app

security is a very contentious topic because everyone has a different idea of what security/privacy is to them
hushed iris
for me, all my information is out there on the black market anyway because of the OPM breach
which has drastically changed what i'm comfortable with
bleak pike
They all know not to tag me in anything, don't associate my account with theirs

privacy for me is inability to get doxed
hushed iris
i'm not handing people my SSN at parties or anything, but when i see stuff like the EU data processing laws, i cant help but chuckle a little bit

a fake account is security by obscurity

Similar situation here, because of voting I discovered my location, name, dob and address is avail

I never really got into using facebook

to be honest i just assume all my information is out there somewhere, and behave accordingly

Because of that I was doxed af, worst part of my life I went underground due to being targeted
hushed iris
i don't post shit online that will get me doxed, or associate with people who would dox me/etc
hushed iris
yea but what was the reason for doxing- i think it goes back to that
not asking you to say what it was
rhetorical question

Literally just because I said fallout 4 was shit

Then they started streaming themselves in teamspeak trolling me
Then it just got worse and worse
It got so bad it effected my personal life
I went to the police

I got escorted by 5 police down my own stairs and they just said ye, no offence but we can tell it wasn't you
young crow
wtf did you even do
bleak pike
No, it was for an actual armed robbery around mine
young crow
were you known in some community or what
bleak pike
They said that I had stashed the goods and tried selling in Facebook
*on
I became a suspect
young crow
great police, just believe all bullshit people say
hushed iris
my guess is reddit or discord/teamspeak and usernames were common on social networks, so they look through history/social media to find name and then search using name
bleak pike
They had been "following" me as a suspect for over a week
hushed iris
eventually you will find a person
hidden oak
No comments and demand a solicitor
hushed iris
usually takes me <1hr to find someone if i have enough info
and i dont even make a hobby out of it
bleak pike
No because they knew the moment they saw me what had happened and we all laughed it off at the end
young crow
lots of people don't value privacy, you can find their info by being able to use google properly
bleak pike
As for the group I'm not mentioning it as it will roll back so much effort of me moving on and changing so many of my identities
young crow
now guess why my nickname is an actually existing word 😛

I don't even go by the same name anymore
hushed iris
why would you
hushed iris
lol ok, that's extreme
bleak pike
Shit crippled me hard

hah that's also why I'm called vegetables
bleak pike
They did so much to harm me

Pretty happy with the development of star citizen since I started backing a couple years ago, steady progress overall
Although I'm unusually patient

I've yet to be impressed by it. I'll admit I bought into it early on because I'm apparently on a never-ending quest to spend money on underwhelming modern games. 😦
speaking of, NMS multiplayer update comes out Tuesday

GRIP is a good combat racer still in early access on steam.....its basically rollcage reborn
i guess know what to look for when backing a project?

yeah I've had GRIP for a while but haven't jumped in for a long time. It seemed pretty neat
Road Redemption was neat too. Takes me back to the ole Road Rash days

i still dont know why apple is alive when you could just build a hackintosh for a cheaper price than an imac pro

dedicated fanbase and good marketing
Plus, how many people even know what a hackintosh is, much less have the desire to build one?
They're gonna be around for a long time
orchid prism
Also setting up and keeping a hackintosh running can be a chore.
It's not click and run by any means for a lot of hardware.
ripe tendon
Do they do well on AMD now? Once upon a time they only really ran on intel, right?
orchid prism
I got my 2200G to run it beautifully with a bit of help. But the iGPU wasn't supported at the time, so I had to use a dedicated GPU

Last time I considered one I think I had an FX 6300 and at that time I don't think it was doable. At least not without an insane amount of effort

Is Dual Universe going to be Star Citizens twin?
thin nacelle
i wowuld say a mix between Empyrion Galactic Survival and EVE Online but in epic scale (compared to Empyrion multiplayer)
thin nacelle
i have it, but i don't play it, some friends do. The problem is that it's buggy in multiplayer, i hear them a lot talking about how things dissapear or that they have to reset stuff in their server because of bugs
mostly when they release a new patch.
but they enjoy it a lot.
i hate the construction system, but that's me, it's not the games fault.
they are the kind of guys that enjoy mining a LOT and bulding stuff.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
i would say yes, wait for it to be more polished/fleshed out.
i would say that if you like that game (Empyrion) and enjoy PvP, Dual Universe would be the next step.
lone sequoia
Has anyone tried stardew valley? I don't know much about the game, but the multiplayer looks really promising. It kinda reminds me of Terraria.
indigo marsh
@lone sequoia I've watches streams of it. Seems really nice, if you're into that kind of games. (I think I am, but I haven't played it yet… I do think I have a copy though…)
lone sequoia
It's mostly farming and stuff right? Is there quest based kind of stuff?
indigo marsh
I've seen some spelunking as well.
lone sequoia
ooooh
thin nacelle
stardew valley is based on the "Harvest moon" franchise, but 10 times more gameplay and now with multiplayer.
you inherit a farm and you have to clear the rubble, tall grass and become the new farmer in town.
you can mine, go fishing, get married, do the little quests, etc
and of course, improve your farm.
lone sequoia
with animals and stuff? sounds dank
thin nacelle
i played the harvest moon ones on my old nintendo DS and they were cool chill games
this is harvest moon on steroids
lone sequoia
I never played harvest moon, but I used to know ppl who played it. I never knew if it would pique my interest enough to warrant buying it
indigo marsh
I wanted Harvest Moon, but never got it. :x
thin nacelle
it's that kind of game that you say "what's this crap?" and a couple of hours later you realise you have been playing a lot. lol
if you find it on sale on steam, get it, it's not very expensive and it'll give you a lot of hours of gameplay.
indigo grail
harvest moon is dope
imo Stardew Valley isnt as good as friends of mineral town or HMDS but its still really good
ripe tendon
SDV mp officially launches next month, I believe
but you can get it via the beta branch on steam atm
thin nacelle
I'm not gonna lie, didn't play all the Harvest Moon games, just two of them in my old Nintendo DS Lite, but SDV it's the "Harvest Moon like" game in PC (without using emulators to play the Harvest Moon games). If it's in discount, i think it's worth it for its price.
hollow sphinx
are there any other games like Fzero? ive got redout and GRIP.....but thats about all i could find that looked promissing
indigo marsh
@hollow sphinx It took me a few reads to realise you weren't referring to me as a game… I should go to bed.
hollow sphinx
i should have added the dash
ripe tendon
Distance is similar to Fzero. I always liked Hydro Thunder but it's not nearly as fast paced. Race the sun was an interesting take on that sort of speed
Trackmania is also kinda awesome but still different than the F-zero series
hollow sphinx
i have race the sun....very good minimalistic game (not that im any good at it)
ripe tendon
I love when people complain about a games price because they're not capable of half-assed research 😂
hollow sphinx
i complain about game pricing when i need A FUCKING DLC to get cosmetics for an $80 game
ripe tendon
That's fair
but to say "$60!? I'd pay 30 for it lower the fucking price of your game" and two prominent game sale websites have it for less than $30
hollow sphinx
i mean....extra content....like extra non cannon missions......sure, ill pay......
and yes....there are usually better deals
im disappointed in the AAA titles, and almost all of the console games from the 3 main sides....making me pay for dlc just to continue the game or get cosmetics that should be unlockable once you do certain achievements......
ripe tendon
yay modern games!
lone sequoia
Corporations will do anything to make more money. If they're struggling to fund their teams, they'll sell what they have for the regular price of a game, then sell the rest of the game depending on how much time they've dumped into those parts
That's the price of having games with such high level of detail. Back in the days of NES and stuff, your entire sound team could be one or two guys. Now, studios need to pay programmers to develop sound engines for their games, and hire an entire orchestra to do their scores that they had to hire real musicians for
hidden oak
Not exactly
Times are changing, like you explained, but it's more because they can do the DLCs for the fraction of the cost of the main game
and they can get a much bigger margin on the DLCs
It's how game studios survive. By making more games. And to make more games, they need to be sitting on some cash and have a solid cash flow
If you don't like the practice, just vote with your money and don't buy any of it, not for the full price at least
Capitalism is tremendously simple
my point being, they don't do that because they're greedy and evil -- they aren't, except perhaps maybe EA
it's just that they have to
unless you're accusing every AAA game studio of engaging in a trade cartel
ripe tendon
releasing quality content down the road for extra money is fine but releasing a broken game followed by DLC or placing game progression behind a paywall is not fine. Some studios take advantage of DLC in ways they shouldn't
hidden oak
yep, which is why I'm avoiding EA games like the plague
they will never ever get a single dime from me again
they have ruined every series I loved
SimCity, Dead Space, Need for Speed
ripe tendon
It's probably the sole reason I'm content having paid for NMS at this point. Yes, they botched release and gave us a piece of junk but they've steadily updated it since at no cost to the user and even have plans for more after todays co-op update. I can't fault a team for trying to make things right
EA, on the other hand, has only done the minimal amount to try and make amends
hidden oak
NMS was done by a startup
I genuinely believe they just didn't have the capital
they could have been more open about it tho
ripe tendon
I also believe they were pressured to rush it by others like Sony
very true, they should have communicated a lot more
Mistakes were definitely made but with a team that averaged a size of 6 over the years they did fairly well overall
hidden oak
eh, I still can't let Dead Space go
they gave us a closure of Dead Space 3 well knowing that there wouldn't be another Dead Space game...
...and ended it with a cliffhanger
not to mention that DS3 wasn't even all that good
but yeah, fuck EA
why is it that they ruin everything they touch?
just looked at their upcoming titles
I bet all of them are going to be steaming piles of shit
indigo grail
why do nerds hate EA so much
they make average games with an assload of microtransactions/premium DLC/whatever
they arent corrupting your hard drive and poisoning your food and water supply lol
bleak pike
Ugh EA are trash
At least the last few years
I only really had major beef since BF1 personally
lone sequoia
Look at dark souls DLC for example. Quality content made and released AFTER the fact. Not only that, but it's not an extension of the story, just a means for more lore and gameplay
hollow sphinx
i cant remember the last time EA released a game worthy of actually paying for
maybe plants VS zombies or the older need for speed games that were not full of micro transactions
ripe tendon
The issue is that EA is one of those teams that should be constantly releasing killer title after killer title. They have the experience and the funding but instead they continuously drop the ball
hidden oak
yet they are making record amounts of profit
are there really that many console plebs buying it all?
ripe tendon
because nowdays you dont have to release quality content. The game is so saturated with meh people just want something new
they're like the Yankees of game development. If they do actually do something noteworthy it shouldn't be a surprise

I buy things that i like and that have good gameplay.... Minecraft is still one of then, and can look pretty awesome with a few mods(i can post a few scream shots if you want to see what i mean). I stay away from the AAA titles....so much hype, soo little content
The games that are WORTH BUYING however are usually unavailable...you can't buy them at all, like freelancer and every retro console game

It looks so good.
But that's typical for modders. They can put so much more time and effort into their craft. No hard deadlines

And it's probably a passion project which means it's held to a different level of quality
