I’ve recently transitioned to Linux. I’ve anyways steered clear off kernel level anti cheats for obvious reasons. How do these work on Linux if the game enables it for Linux? Is it still as invasive as Windows and does it still remain installed after uninstalling the game?

Fuck Nintendo

Pretty shit article. Fails to explain why we need more than 1 million while attempting to do so, but whatever. Good to have some official support.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/47904753 We spoke with Boulder Dash creator Peter Liepa about his classic action-/puzzle game.

You are correct as that is the whole point of that idea where you bind your ID to an account. The entire reason thats a suggestion (not that i like it at all either) is because of the fact anyone can evade: an account ban with a new account network ban with a vpn hardware ban with spoofed mac addresses, etc In what other method is there to prevent some person from evading a ban? To answer your initial question, that is the reason. If Kenerl level anticheats are not acceptable then this is one of the only options left that allows us to bind some person to an account and actually enforce a permaban. Yes: fake government IDs are a thing cracked/hacked/spoofed clients are a thing. But otherwise, there is NOTHING you can tie an account to a person that’s avaliable to enforce a ban. Nothing is unhackable, or unspoofable. Literally a cat n mouse game that has no winners. Even if it’s worse in your opinion than having kernal level anti-cheat, it’s picking between two deadly poisons. IMO i just dont play games that require anticheat, or play any competitive games. too toxic and stressful for me personally to even install something like that. Technically Valve themselves is that. That have VAC-anticheat, which is connected to your account. unless you get money into your account soley through gift cards, they have your card info, or paypal. They have drm, but not kernel level. your CC has your legal name, and billing address. About as Government ID as it gets with honestly ANY game with microtransactions in it that allows you to put raw CC details in it. // as a side thought/rant // if it’s super necessary to play/engage with those games, why not have a seperate OS specifically for gaming? either to dual boot, or seperate pc altogether, and just pipe the display output as a PIP or use as a second monitor? then its seperated and not compromising of your actual OS? It also comes down to other loooooads of other factors, but (IMO) it comes down the fact that companies overcharge, (insert other xyz reasons), which people dont want to pay full price or at all for so they pirate, which make companies put more and more invasive drms/anticheats, which snowballs. especially with online stuff, it’s because of the many bad actors (and with how lucrative that business is) that constantly abuse competitive games that IMO originated in good faith, but have had to clamp down super hard that made their protections soo bad. It’s the only way they can protect their playerbase, game, and sales reliably (insert denuvo controversies here). TLDR: Pick a deadly poison, its all bad ideas. Imo, dont play live service games, and play more indie stuff.

I too grew up gaming in the pre internet era, and I love pay to win. My favorite is when they just let me press A and the rest of the game just unfolds and plays itself while I watch.

Another complaint about the 30% cut on PCGamer? This reeks.

Maybe it was peops buying because of the tariff stuff. Figured prices were going to go up?

I would assume this makes sense for adding extra storage to small form factor type of builds. I would be curious about the operating temps though and how that could negatively impact the drives lifespan.

Good time to start with reTHAWed if you’re into online play since these new games started coming out. I’d like a new game instead of remakes with more new/younger pro skaters than old, but just reusing this game engine from 3+4 here instead of going overboard with graphics.

Not only is the video informative, this is the first time I’ve heard of invidious. Thanks op!

Thanks for the heads up! ️

That’s fair. I mostly use framegen to get from 40-60 fps in games. You stop seeing the artifacts pretty quickly, even with something like Losseless Scaling, which doesn’t have access to internal game data like a native implementation would.

Demonlisher is awesome. Forget the Steam reviews. Most of them are bitter because this isn’t the game those folks wanted. It’s basically a Pac-Man clone from 2004, but one of the most unique I’ve played. Better way to put it: Demonlisher is what you get if Hexen became Pac-Man. You’re a wizard running through different dungeons, collecting souls to save. Meanwhile, demon hordes chase you down, and you have to kill them. It has all the usual maze-game stuff: power-ups, bonuses. But also a bunch of clever traps. Not everyone likes the graphics. I do. I spent a ton of my youth playing low-poly 3D shareware from random corners of the web (anyone remember TuCows?). Demonlisher feels like that genuine old-school deal. I wish more games like this worked on modern PCs and showed up on Steam. Yeah, Demonlisher is awesome. Sometimes Steam reviews just get it wrong.

Roman + Steampunk is not a combination I’d have ever thought would happen but here we are. Color me intrigued. I’ll def have to try out the play test. Thanks for the post!

Yeah, it was mostly a joke. I don’t even play Helldivers.
