It is cheap, lightweight, and a great option for beginners to improve their photography skills.
Ah.

380 more frames
Depends on where and what you want to take a picture of
Low light conditions will call for closer targets, whereas a sunny or cloudy day you could get farther
Ahhhh. Got cha
really hope there's an Auto mode for someone like me who doesn't understand any of the settings hahah
There is
I'd assume any digital cams would have them tbh
waiting
I took all of my shots manually at the track. Auto focus easily ruined it
Anyways, gotta go
Cya later
Ah. Darn. Talk to ya later man
Imma text ya in the dm just to be sure xD
dm closed š
xD
Welp, imma head to bedge. See ya folks later
oh thx
i sent in art showcase
titanic
it got bugged
so
i can do better
alr
im making skelly
3114
š
Oh my god itās SCP-3114
Heās going to steal your skin and say putt party is better than this game
True
I am now gonna go on a SL server that has a 3114 plugin, try my best to blend in and then while i'm with people, like randomly in an elevator with someone i'm gonna open my mic and say one of 3114's undisguised voice lines
Like imagine you're an MTF, you turn around and your mate says "man, putt party is better than this game"

The biggest jumpscare of them all
Impossible challenge
"Last played May 29th"
Last time i properly played SL was february
Sounds accurate
I remember nuking my own local server performance once when testing a plugin because of a smooth brain moment I had
how many hours yall got
Was kinda funny until you realize that one loop statement caused a server to go to 1 tps
~900
damn ive been playing this game for a hot minute
Granted if I didnāt have a break in 2020-21 I would have much more time
I have nearly 3K in TF2
i got 5 hours in blender
nah just a custom background
Yeah nearly 3K
i was gonna ask what game is that because i always forget you can change a game's banner and my dumb ass did not look to the left
I know the bot crisis has been going on but it hasnāt really phased me, yeah sure itās annoying to play TF2 Casual with bots but I would just go play Uncletopia or just play Collegiate Competitive and call it good, no bots and honestly more fun than Casual
I havenāt really found casual fun because imo itās not fun to get rolled or to roll the other team. Itās so much more fun imo to have a fun and balanced fight where the objective is constantly being contested. Thatās fun
Each game has its own flaw: TF2 has bot issues, CS2 has both fucking awful matchmaking and, at higher ranks, cheaters
until you play 5CP in competitive and itās a stalemate, even with the time limits
tho, we can all agree: fucking fix VAC
VAC = Valve Allows Cheats
that's a good one
btw... Valve made VAC Live for CS2
but did it put it on older games too (eg. TF2) or are they still running normal VAC
I get why Valve doesnāt want to do a Kernel Level Anti Cheat, intrusive and all of that (and I hate it, even though I play a few games with Kernel Level Anti Cheat), but I feel like thereās something missing with anti cheat which is how the server interprets data. Honestly I believe itās going to be incredibly easy to check if thereās a 1 ms snap to a head and then back to where it was before
Still normal Valve Anti Care Policy
lol
You know as much as old SL anti cheat killed you for standing on railings and cameras, I would rather prefer that to happen than having no indication that the anti cheat is working at all
the issue with non-kernel level Anti Cheats is that they're less efficient because they can't just ban anyone who looks "too good" since actual good players exist
those were funny times
Yeah. That and it cannot detect drivers that are running already as well, which even ring 0 anti cheats cannot detect cheat drivers loaded before
the reason valve doesn't make their anti-cheat more aggressive is because of e-sports in my opinion:
let's take SL's old anti cheat: you're in a tournament of some sort and you just get instakilled cuz of bad anti cheat
Valve would rather VAC live not catch cheaters than have any false positives
And even at that, itās easy to get around anti cheat because you can use a PCIe card to interpret data and run that to another computer, which can run commands back quickly, and you canāt really stop PCIe cards without doing a lot of collateral damage. Since those can affect graphics cards, network cards, sound cards, usb cards, etc
Yeah because banning good players for cheating is bad
yo im eu anyone know some good servers
issue is that the less intrusive an anti cheat is, the harder it is to catch all cheaters without getting false positives
Yeah. All the options available has a catch to it
All of them
nahh at that point if you're doing some weird PC building shit just to cheat you've earned it šš
There will never be a perfect anti cheat
iirc Apex Legends cheaters has been doing that
it can either be intrusive but precise or non-intrusive but absolutely awful
Yeah
And thereās people who would much more prefer less intrusive ones
Thereās no perfect solution thatās aggressive enough to block cheating but not be extremely intrusive
You have to have to give up one. Either be software level and not be too aggressive, or have a ring 0 one that is aggressive, but have privacy concerns
Gotta take one
is that the so called chaos men?
Or I mean you could just not have an anti cheat
But that would be a horrible idea for any multiplayer game
ayy i got 1/6 of ur hours
Like look at GTA 5, that has no anti cheat and it also uses P2P servers which is just a security nightmare
Rockstar itās 2024, make your own god damn servers for GTA
thanks chat
It would fix other issues that GTA has as well, like the orbital cannon spam
Neat
no longer ignored
I do my best. As an American I will logically know the best SL servers for European players
letās ignore how logically flawed that is, as that is a subjective opinion on what I find fun in SL
u did not do ur best gang unless ur best is making a sassy response after i said thanks because no one helped
Itās literally the reason why I run my own server. My own server has plugins that I want to have on a server, and the people who play on my North American server are people who also took interest in that (or just joined by random chance)
peoples opinion on what servers are good are always subjective
some people like X but other like Y
imo
and im making my monthly appearance in general again
Waiting for 6 minutes when 2 people talk about anti cheat and then saying thanks for no one responding because as I said, 2 people are just talking about anti cheat, I would say itās brought upon yourself. I even explained why, and sir Cedric nailed it on the head, itās purely subjective, I donāt know what you like, so even if I was European I wouldnāt be able to provide an objective answer to work for you. Check the servers and see what you find fancy, go through multiple servers and see what you like most
Greetings
So its a very rare acquientence to meet you?
not really, im just usually in other chats that arent here
Just join the CedMod discord server to see him way more often
Oh :D Well nice to meet u
or exiled
lol
but cedmod is the most, because well yes
me telling people how to read
(its seriously driving me insane)
"you have been kicked bla bla, request a whitelist here"
how do i get whitelisted

Unironically CedMod is the best SL plugin
how do i get whitelisted
ive seen some hardcore ranting of some people
did they ever report any of the issues they complain about
no

I know people say X plugin best but in an objective standpoint CedMod is the best, discord sync, a web panel for punishment, discord logging, server sync if you run more than one server. It is so useful and every server should have it
some people are weird
but i guess you always have people that complain for the sake of complaining
theres this one dude who hasnt used his cedmod account for over 2 years and still complains about it

soon i will come up with even more features to expand my advertisting front 
also unironically the biggest thing ive done so far
CedMod update leak question mark not clickbait
KITTTYYY :333333
When you explore the L4D2 workshop
the Sentinal (cheater orbital nuker) will receive some "upgrades"
your plugin sucks, it killed my whole family
plz fix

aiming orbital canons is hard
I can imagine
did you helldiver too hard
wdym
Where is it at, cus last I heard they were still in open alpha or something
u making it way bigger than it needs to be u did not need to reply in the first place with what u said
And then they announced that big star engine thing
games been in open alpha for like 15 years
also me asking for a good server would obviously mean a server you think is a good one
so that i can try it out
people say what they want, but in my opinion SC has improved since when i first started playing and now
you gotta understand that the games world is actually like super fucking large
its kinda buggy still, but some issues they have infact resolved
the current update is kinda mid, previous ones made performance die, this one is better
soon we should get xenothreat event as a patch
then we should get the long awaited cargo update later (cargo becomes physical, you gotta load it yourself)
then after we get 4.0-alpha which should have server meshing ( so no more server crashes) and the new star system that you can travel to
when people talk about star citizen it remids me of when ppl talk abt elon musk
eh theres a difference
i hear a lot of talk about "but they made 700 million"
yeah they did but they dont have that on the bank 
people gotta get paid
I'm surprised they manage to have enough money to keep developing it
and their opening new studios/hiring more people ontop of that
im surprised too
Revenue isnāt profit after all
i cut them some slack because this quite litterally is a "never done before" type project
craft a boat
Like I play Elite Dangerous and I really enjoy it I'm just concerned that star citizen isn't as cool beans as elite is or some shit like that
who are you

All it costs is 5 wood planks, or if you play worse Minecraft itās 5 wood planks and a wooden shovel for some stupid reason
Damn thatās a whole extra 2 sticks and 1 plank
currently it kinda behaves like a tech demo
you can do missions, fly around, be a criminal, be a whatever, or just trade on the virtual market by flying cargo around to stations
their working on more mission stuff, and with pyro (the new star system) releasing hopefully soon, their milestone is Q3 2024 thatd add more missions
@crystal anvil congratulations into tricking sfm users to use your blender only models
unfortunately performance is kinda shit rn, but ive had a better experience in my 2 days playing on 3.21.1 than on the past versions after 3.17

someone tell Nathan he's a pussy

!rename @balmy pike nerd
Done.
cmkn
star citizen š
Nathan
I was joking buddy
Wait star citizen is just like a few systems?
Why you always bullying me
@eager wadi please man give me my name
ok
What does it say?
!rename @balmy pike Ghost but nerd
Done.
Thank you
cmon bro
awwwwwww
You always hurt my feeling
the woogle bird
they got stanton rn
which has 4 planets
microtech
arcorp
hurston
and orison
these planets are big they also each have like 4 moons, which also are relatively sized
they all have random buildings on them that you can visit, either as part of a mission, or cuz you feel like it (not everything is accessible, some places are restricted areas)
I said I'm sorry
on 4.0-alpha they want to put out Pyro, which is a more "unmonitored" system
with no laws, and no armistance zones
(you wont find me there unless im in my "fuck everything in that general direction" ship)
Borb
(Auto correct moment)
Pretty dope either way, I think in my head I just see the way elite does it by having the whole galaxy accessible and every planet and all just being randomly generated being something fun, but I think just a few systems with good variety and story would be even cooler lmao
As long as it isn't starfield
honestly, try the game out during a free fly
best advice i can give
something like "i cant use windops cache, it kinda goes wrong"
im not sure when the next one is
only downside of free flights is, server performance tends to be 25% worse
because theres a bunch of new people playing
im kinda just waiting for the cargo update now, as then you can get a "personal hangar" where you can actually store stuff
and then hoping for a soon 4.0-alpha as then performance should be better due to server meshing
im not familiar with starfield btw, whats the issue with that?
I played it at a friend's house and it was about as flatline as any new ip is post 2020
Just felt very empty and not really fun
Might be just me tho
š
yeah with SC theres a bunch of things you can do, but outside of the missions there isnt a super large amount of things
other than the mission-less loops of mining, trading, or harassing criminals to put them in prison
i tend to play bounties
or mercenary
cuz that gives me money and i get to shoot things in my ship or in fps
I spend like 70% of my elite gameplay time doing background simulation 
And conquering star systems for some random australian player faction
Going to make every star system upside down
i underestimate star citizen ai because servers are slow so that makes ai slow
until the server suddenly spikes in fps and i nearly get removed from life

when the ai start flanking you shit gets scary
even if their slow
because their bullets, are infact not slow

ship combat it dont really matter because my ship is basically a tank (atleast the 2 i fly for combat)
but in fps

its actually weird
maybe its just cuz i am mr stealth
all my guns are suppressed, including my shotgun
so i just sneak up behind and unload a shotgun round in their head
but sometimes the enemy ai shoot and that attracts the other enemies, so i get spotted and they start flanking
and then there was that time there were 6 of them infront of me and i had to perform some acrobatics to reload my shotgun while not getting shot because i already killed a few using my rifle š
That is indeed weird
the reload sounds are loader than my gunshots lmao
so i guess it might just be stealth
my personal favorite missions are the "eliminate target" ones that are on a wreck site, because their usually outside
so i can just flatten the ground using my ships guns
and then steal their weapons and sell them
(extra way of making money)
loot your enemies and sell their shit 
Itās not a war crime if you win!
their criminals
i am operating under the cover of the law enforcement agency
except if your my teammates, who "accidentally" shot and killed 5 friendly security guards of the place were supposed to eliminate all hostiles
(yes there is a prison system)
atleast you dont gotta be on for 7 hours

mining in prison gets you out faster
or doing missions
Although it would be a good time to touch grass
Prison Labor Camps
what a shame that oxygen is currently bugged in prison and you sufficate before you can even get to the mines

what game we talkin about?
star citizen
I dunno lmao
unironically thats what it is
"work towards your freedom" is part of the welcome speech
y'all were talking for at least 5 minutes and you did not ask what game it was?
Half of the time I was working on literal server infrastructure
Iām more reacting to whatās going on
more like "work towards shooting someone in the head"
And I react more than modern YouTube react channels
love how discord randomly decides "fuck you, i'm gonna restart"
i was going to code and play game
but i have been informed that i will have a driving lesson tomorrow so i should sleep at a reasonable time instead of 12 am and then waking up at 6 am
and that i have the driving exam in august, or in july if im fast enough
yesterday i stayed up till 2am building a nuclear reactor in minecraft
Go sleep
soon
Damn I just got hit with a 
now only 2 stress sources remain š
im waiting for a phone call regarding my "college" exam result "somewhere in june"
and my drivers license
Good luck donāt die
And donāt drive in the US because we have a lot of dipshit drivers here
i got a new contract at my work today so thats one less thing to worry about
and i get paid more 
Nice
virtually all those Brake Check videos i watched happened in the US
Cya Cedric, keep pissing off cheat hosters lmao
šŖ
it's actually a good thing that it happened in the US because at least there dipshit people get punished š
bro was using me as a wind catcher
some cyclists go ride very close to you so they dont have to deal with the wind
so close as in, a slight pull on my brakes for comedic effect
look at this shit i ran into while riding my bike
the lane i'm in is the bike lane
you know these things?
oh boi...
i was biking home yesterday, it was raining and like the rain hater i am i am fully rain proof with my clothes
some 13 year old yells "nice weather huh" in a mocking way, on that kind of scooter
but those things have zero grip on wet road
I wanna hit someones shins with that
so that was almost a very funny experience, but he regained control
and those things go fast too
that's why Bike > those things
plus my bike is a BMX bike so even if you want it to it won't lose grip
these things are also super common here now
only issue is, their speed limiter is removed
they go 45 km/h
electric bikes?
well yes its an electric bike, but the difference with tthis one is
they dont have a speed limiter so they go 45km/h
and their frame isnt built for those speeds
and 12 year olds ride on them with those speeds
its actually fucking dangerous
for both the person riding it and whoever is in the bike lane near it
that's the speed of like a 50cc scooter š
what gpu and what cpu do you have?
gtx 1650
what settings u running
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-1650v4 @3.60GHz
the speed limit for electric bikes here is 25 km/h
unless its a special type of bike, that one can go 45 but must be insured and you need to wear a helmet
my own bike can go around 34 km/h if i help it by putting in some pedal force myself
but the biggest issue with the one i showed, is their not built for those high speeds so a lot of accidents, the brakes are also super shit
and the riders are 12 year old kids with no knowledge of traffic rules
once i get my drivers license i want to get one of those proper fast e-bikes so i can get to work faster, as car becomes an issue due to the highway thats near me having a super long-taking maintenance thingy going on

btw driving license for motorcycles in italy are weird:
- at 14 you can get the AM license for scooters up to 50cc
- at 16 you can get the A1 license for scooters up to 125cc
- at 18 you can get the A2 license
- at 24, or if you've had the A2 license for at least 2 years, you can get the A license
meanwhile the B license (cars) can be gotten at 18, C and D licenses (trucks and buses) can be gotten at 21
so in Italy you can drive a bus with people in it before you can drive a motorcycle š
theres some reasoning behind it
motorcycles are usually a lot more dangerous
because well, if you fall
even if wearing the proper clothing
you really get fucked up
that is a lot
most are generally combined
in italy there are 5 licenses:
- A for motorcycles
- B for cars
- C for trucks and other vehicles above 3.5ton
- D for busses
- E for trailers
eg if you get a car license you automatically get a AM and T
dont know how many for USA
all I know is my learner's permit says C for cars lol
and B in restricitions causes I wear glasses
im sortof happy but annoyed there isnt a "learner permit" system here
in italy we also have B96 for cars/vans up to 4250Kg (without trailer)
first gotta do a theoretical test about rules.
you gotta get driving lessons, then do an exam
and then you pass, or fail
and if you fail you gotta wait 4 weeks and do atleast 2 more lessons (or more depending on how much you fail)
and its annoying because you gotta plan lessons, and sometimes you cant even do one because of traffic jams
btw this shit was like this:
but i guess its better because it "guards" quality
although ive seen many people where i question how they got their license
tell me how is that legal and how tf am i supposed to get around there š
road 
why did bro made an fucking 2D image of what happened
because it's not that clear if you look at the photo
fair
ive had some crazy situations
it was just these 3 dudes parked there waiting to get inside a place š
i mean game is game

THE 11FOOT8 BRIDGE CHANNEL
i fucking love it https://www.youtube.com/@11foot8plus8
The 11foo8 bridge is a railroad trestle over Gregson St in Durham, North Carolina and it has earned a reputation for for its rigorous enforcement of the laws of physics. No truck taller than 11 feet and 8 inches will pass under this stubborn piece of infrastructure. Period. On this channel we document the various attempts of hapless drivers tryi...
look at all these foolish truck drivers
fun fact: all bridges in Italy must have at least 4m (13' 1'') clearance iirc
i watched a mercedes van get stuck under a bridge
the driver did not appreciate the comment of "should have read the sign"
oh, we have a requirement in the USA
that bridge was just built before it
so it got grandfather in
i found it quite funny myself
perfect roof removal surgery performed by the mighty 11foot 8 bridge
they cant raise the bridge any further because of the train tracks
they cant lower the road because of the water pipes
the fact that there's a sign AND traffic lights that are supposed to make the truck drivers reconsider makes this even funnier
btw why th does the sign say 12' 4'' instead of 11' 8'' š
it was originally 11' 8''
i think they raised it by a bit
they raised it to 12' 4''
but then the trucks became taller as well
this was not for the sake of the trucks
just a trim
but just because the bridge was uneven
it was so the trains didnt have to slow down
this bridge, 100% fails to meet any bridge requirements in the USA these days
but you know, grandfathering exist
that yellow bar on the bridge is doing mad work
the guy who repaints it:
from what I heard, the main reason it crashes a lot is just because there arent many other routes that exist
I heard once a bunch of routes got shut down, redirecting a bunch of trucks towards this bridge
i remember laughing like a madman for like half an hour when i first discovered that channel
watching trucks get obliterated is pretty funny
truck shaving
saving time by shaving off the road
thus increasing the speed of the truck
Me counting my money (Rich) after raising the rent of my tenants by $500 per month (it's now $1500 a month)
there's this intersection on my way to school... you don't know just HOW MANY people stop wayyy beyond the stop line
the fact citiy skylines had to remove landlords is funny
fun fact, stopping on a pedestrian crossing is actually against the law here
my middle school had a somewhat busy street students had to cross if you walk home
i once almost got ran over because some dipshit kept going forward beyond the stop line
it's illegal here too people just don't give a shit
will never forget after finishing crossing, hearing screaming behind me. quickly turn around, a group of teennagers pull their friend back onto the sidewalk while a red car drives by at mach 10
luckily, it was one of the days the cop was stationed at the crosswalk
but I have seen that red car multiple times, the fucker is always just going at mach 10 while students are crossing
I even saw them do a hit and run once at that bloody crosswalk
āGod I FUCKING HATE STUDENTSā
doesnt help that
a lot of the walkers, use skateboards
and they hate the idea of wearing helmets
also don't get me started on whatever this is
supposed to be '' my students are all morons!!''
(the school had to make an announcement over the PA for them to wear the helmets)
they got very upset, so they would just put the helmet on when the cop was at the crosswalk, then just wake it off after getting out of sight
thank god none of them got hit by that damn car
already sounds terrible enough, but on top with refusal to wear a helmet while skateboarding just because "it is a dumb law"
Itās really not
oh I love this channel
Same
i'll break it down for you:
like what the actual fuck š
pole
in the middle of the road
breaking it down
imagine you're driving somewhere you've never been to and you just find an electricity pole in the middle of an intersection with a sign saying "whoever touches it dies"
i will ram it
I mean
there is a clear sign
saying go left
and the road curves
just like dont be on your phone?
you underestimate how stupid people can be
dont be stupid
fair
btw you know you can turn right
probably why the sign says left
!hom
homhomhomhomhom
that sign means "keep left" not "turn left"
it means pass on left
yeah... but at the intersection you can still turn right
so this is basically just annoying
anyways, let's move on: dipshit car drivers park on those bike lanes while waiting to pick up their kids from high school
you know what, fuck you: square roundabout with a tram-line going directly through
just so you know, there are 3 high schools on that intersection...
city skylines ass planning
so at times you can find these bike lanes basically filled with idiots waiting for thier kids to get picked up from school
it's not as dumb as it sounds: there are different types of high schools in italy: for example the 3 on the intersection are an Industrial Technical Institute, a Technological Technical Institute and a Liceo
they teach different subjects and in different ways
Oh, fair enough
Cursed
This shouldnt really matter for the car tho?
At the end it's flat and you have to stop anyway
it is still kinda city skylines ass planning for the fact that they put them all near each other: sure, they wanted to make it easier for students since all the schools are there and both the bus station and the train station are very close (it is not uncommon for high schoolers in italy to come to school by bus or by train)... but the intersection they made near it is awful
yeah but still kind of annoying to have a pole in the middle of the road
want to know the worst part, its terrible on purpose to divert traffic

Awesome design
ignore the fact that they could have just made other ways into the city centre better instead
this is the intersection itself btw: it's basically a curve with a road going into it
when bug fix update??? I still dont have xmas and halloween themes in lobby
it's low priority
you can download the songs and put them in the music folder for the time being
Iām a Classic Remix or whatever itās called enjoyer for the SL main theme
btw random fun fact: in total, in my 45K people city, there are 19 schools:
- 9 elementary schools
- 3 middle schools
- 7 high schools

That seems a bit backwards. But thatās just me
I was expecting more of a lot of elementary, a fair amount of middles, and not a lot of high schools
the reason there's a lot of high schools is because in italy there are different types of high schools
I see I see
Check your router settings, instructions to find it should be on the bottom of it. Although I would advise against it if youāre trying to make a server open to the world if youāre on a home network
What I wanna know
do I put my actual IPv4 in it
or do I put any ip and it still run
Lol italian
I donāt know what your router is or how it works, but for me I would need my local ip for my computer and the port. Such as 192.168.0.1:7777 (as an example)
Aight that ip is an IPv4
so I do need to put that in
Im just scared if I gave my IPv4 I be hacked.
so for example the high schools here are an Industrial Technical Institute, a Classical Liceo, a Scientific Liceo (the one i go to), a Commercial Technical Institute, a Linguistical liceo, a Technological Technical Institute, a Technical Institute for Surveyors and Engineers and a Professional Training Centre
Thatās why I said itās ill advised to use your house network as a server host location
you know if you're hosting an SCP SL server on your computer anyone can just type 'ip' into their console and see your IPv4
Exactly
then where do I host the server
on a VPS
!terabit
Is it free?
no
I cant pay at all
Nothing is free in life
ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
I want to make an SCP SL for free.
then either make it on your computer (with your ip) or find some old computer and use it to host the server
i'd rather not
Thatās fine
does it matter if what computer we use if its old or new
I mean I got a laptop I can use but will it change anything
no it just matters that it has the resources to keep the server up
Anything relatively recent (last 10 years or so) should be enough to keep up
No Like does it matter if I ran the server in my computer or a laptop both can keep up.
but i don't think it'll change anything because iirc your public IPv4 address is linked to your router not your computer
That what im asking
but like again can you get hacked or anything if someone got his hands on your IPv4?
Yeah, itās linked to your house, if someone with bad intentions wanted to do something, they can easily knock your house internet down for a while, thatās why I donāt think hosting a server locally is a good idea (if you are having it open to the public that is)
mann then how does server like dr bright do it
btw you know people can't hack you just by knowing your IP address...
VPS
I mean I searched on google
Because they use a VPS
they say I can get identity thefted hacked
the most they can do is DDoS you (flood your network with requests until it crashes)
thatss it?
that's not true
No just from having your IPv4, No.
That said, people can do other things like take down your home internet for a while if they wanted to, so I wouldn't advise just giving it out to anyone you do not know or trust.
yeah...
i mean DDoS attacks are still pretty annoying but nothing's getting stolen it just brings your internet down for a bit
In general if you want to host a public server, the safest option is to pay for one from a server host
And itās extremely easy to take down your internet for a while too
Rest in peace my dreams of hosting an SCP SL server
I cant pay at all the usd currency in my place is down perm
pulls the router's plug
"yeah it was really easy"
We arenāt stopping you from hosting it on your local network, by all means, just donāt be surprised if your internet just takes a beating
Also thereās most deff more regional server hosts for you, just look around
you can use your own currency you know (+if you're hosting a non-english speaking server then you might even want to look for local server hosts like i did)
That or spend the time to set up a VPS
Make your own Data centre 
that guy goin from not knowing how IPs work to being a SysAdmin 
Iām literally doing that
I started an IT internship not too long ago and itās all networking
I literally know nothing about networks and being taught it
And honestly. Itās really fucking cool
totally didnāt bring down a work critical server the other day for like 10 minutes

also how do companies even sell Game Servers?
like i'd rather set up the software myself than pay almost double the price
Convenience
Literally just that
Some people donāt want to go through the time or effort to setup their own server from scratch on a VPS when thereās an option for slightly more that is ready to go
Plenty of people just want something that works out of the box and are willing to pay a premium on it
And Iām not afraid to admit a year and a half ago when I started my server I did just that
yeah but is convenience worth 5ā¬/month?
Honestly I do not think a lot of people even really consider a vps
Thatās probably true
Depends on who you ask.
VPS = 12ā¬/month (in some places probably even less)
Game Server = almost 17ā¬/month
Iām okay paying 90 USD a year for a game server
Thatās literally like 5 hours of work for me
For the people who have no idea how a server really works, or do not have the time to manage one, probably
For me, that small amount is fine, but for others who knows how a VPS works and want to have flexibility, probably not
i'd rather save the additional 60⬠a year that would be necessary for a gameserver
Itās all subjective in what the person who is buying the server
another thing: Game Servers are more limited than VPSs in terms of locations
Again, some people are okay with that if they just want something that works. This server thing is all subjective and it depends on how the person buying it sees it
Greetings
for example, there are no Game Server hosts that host SL servers in italy... because SL is not a big game like Minecraft
so i had to get a VPS instead of a game server
Terabit closest server host to Italy is Germany iirc
(Itās been too long since I last checked their offerings, might of changed)
yeah but with how the SL server list works: if your server is hosted in Germany it will be VERY low on an italian person's server list + last time i checked you can't request a geolocation change if your server's hosted by an official host, for some reason
btw not even that: closest's in London
Itās usually because they have their own overrides in place. Like the Montreal, Canada servers are set to be geolocated to New York, New York
Oh damn, they closed the German one huh
did the same thing but more decorations on a friends server

Since when was the mona lisa a man

Hello
are we chillin
very
so you hear the news you two @astral ibex ?
huh
why is it so 8k like
if someone is saying illegal things in the game, can they get banned from secret lab altogether or only the server. The server im in has no mods
its a public server
like saying stuff about children and saying one directly to a kid in the server
and one of them is exploiting lol
A northwood server?
nah a random public one
they dont have admin or the owner so idk if they can do that sh
they dont its just a random one lmao
yea some ppl like to abuse that shit
its kinda weird
like the dudes who used to double jump and get to unreachable areas
before it was patched
well if you press N then go to their name and the person image, you now have their steam profileā¦..
you can discover more information about them with that
not saying how though
you have their steam ID right
thatās all u needā¦..
make sure they pay for what they have done
every syllable of disgusting speech that came out of their windpipe will be paid for in FBI battering ram hits to their door
you can get a private steam accounts SteamId if u open it as a link in a browser
Oh fr?
yeah bro
I got recordings of them with the username but not the id
did you open their profile on overlay
like how when u press the š¤button it opens a steam community page on the in game overlay
hit N then click on their profile.
does it open a browser in overlay?
or tab out of full screen into steam?
opens a steam overlay ingame
right
if you recorded that
their profile is pulled up in a browser inside the overlay
their steam ID will be visible as the ending segment of that url
does it even show up in recordings
whos up secreting they laboratory rn
your mother

How does it decide the order to display servers in the player list
Pretty sure its ping
Based on a few factors (mainly distance), but this is typically how it's ordered:
Official server
ā³ Regional server
ā³ Distance
ā³ Server ID (Newer servers are lower on the list.)
ā³ Server port (7777-7784)

wherever the server you're playing in handles reports
most servers have a discord channel or something to handle reports so it'd be better if he used that (most servers require video proof anyway, you can't send that over the in-game report system)
hello
Guys can help me on how to invite friends to a private server
Should I text you personally
oh that. A bit late lol

Did someone just ghost ping me

At least it wasnt a ghost ping
whats tis
its a discord for archived versions of old scp sl
You can also download basically any version of old SCP SL using the steam console, but its a real pain in the ass to do so
yay old lighting graphics
Daily Spongdal
Bro no admin was there
The ppl was fucking around
If an admin where there the whole server got banned
Either go to their discord to make a report and have them deal with it or find another server if everyone is that obnoxious on the ones you play on
It was official and i cant go discord northwood btc i got banned for a little joke
then that is your problem
most you can do is report them in game
press n > warning symbol
No one does a shit if you do it
then dont play on those servers if you believe that
I not believe that i did it
No admin cares
then like i said
find another server where they do
i know for a fact the reports on my server are always dealt with
just gotta find the right community 
My server's reports are always delt with too, since the turn of the year there's been 1 "unattended" report (it was a test report to sanity check to make sure the report system was working)
In general I think most larger community servers are good with handling reports
Most of the time lol
why would you want to remove the fsp
wait, so what attachments are we gonna have to make the p90's equip time ridiculously long? That's like, the best part! š”

I can't connect to central servers for 2 days
oh boo thats basically the same number
anyone has the same issue?
erm actrually youre 30 off
Will the new models be designed with less or more 'Those people' bait in-mind?
939 isnt even furrybait
No, infact its double sized.
I had another phrase in mind but it feels way too suggestive to say here
monsterfuckers? probably, although ive never seen the SL design used like that
lol
thanks for taking the bullet for me
We prefer to be called "Educated folk"
I kind of assumed you guys wore that title proudly
