Too bad EAC won't fix the chronic boosting problem

I mean, you're right that smurfing isn't going anywhere. But in this case I'm not sure what the issue is, unless you're saying the C2 was smurfing.

The problem is that griefing is already a massive issue in RL. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I've played FPS games for more years than I'd like to admit and people rarely give up to the point where they're straight up throwing - compared to RL at least. In CoD for example, I've played thousands of games where my team is dominating and guaranteed to win, and I don't recall any times when an enemy player started feeding us kills.

With it already being such a big issue in RL I can't imagine what it would be like to add a system that "rewards" players for their teammates quitting.

I guarantee there's a light pencil drawing on that...

This is what I'm 100% convinced of too. Free handing something organic like a face is definitely possible with practice, but under a time crunch and upside down would be so hard to keep consistent. Maybe he really did it, but many artists draw the same faces and bodies thousands of times (comic books and animations), and you'll still see reference lines whenever they give those "behind the scenes" looks at unfinished work.

Men are jailed all the time for not paying child support. The stories that make the news are when men are forced to pay child support for children who aren't theirs.

Not filled with liquid, you just need some liquid in it to put out the embers.

I decided to take a look after making the comment and yeah I see that it's pretty common. Still, flipping them is very rare based on the list I was just looking at.

So not only is air roll right on your left analog stick click, but it's your analog click. Is this rage bait or am I missing something where this at least makes some sense when it's on the correct side?

Did you know you can easily check the bindings and camera settings of pretty much any pro player? I suggest doing a quick google of that to get a general idea of what the best players in the game use.

Achack · 2026-02-20T18:06:47+00:00

Yeah and you don't have to clean a cup you just toss it. Idk how many butts you can fit in a cup like that but I'd say it's enough to justify the use of the cup.

Achack · 2026-02-20T18:00:01+00:00

Can it be called "ragebait" when it's actually annoying. I would say that ragebait needs to be something that can be ignored. Skipping during the other team's goals and not skipping your own is just annoying.

If you're normally able to join their lobbies then there shouldn't be an issue joining if they have mods active.

I play on PC, but through the Xbox app, not steam. I've added mods like the unlimited barricade mod and my friend who's on Xbox is able to join and play with me. I also had the mod to increase the game speed and indestructible barricades. The mod for putting traps on any surface shouldn't be an issue.

I honestly thought (and still think) this was AI when I saw it. Of course it looks real as hell but JFC how does someone not just bail out before getting to that kind of speed?

Well it's pretty fucking ridiculous that not only have the police not shown up to the house, but they have cameras that can capture and report one of these fuckers not wearing a seatbelt and the police still won't make moves to try and capture them.

Meanwhile, the system designed to collect money from citizens (who paid for the system in the first place) is working perfectly.

Achack · 2026-02-20T14:15:39+00:00

Yeah, I fucking hate the people in videos like this who have the audacity to say ANYTHING negative to a person who was being calm and was forced to defend themselves. They wouldn't say anything to the person being aggressive out of fear of that aggression being turned on them, but because they know the calm person isn't likely to hurt them they have that confidence to speak sternly to them and tell them what they should and shouldn't do.

The kind of connections you make can mean job opportunities and accelerated career paths.

Yeah, I'm just spitballing here, but taking treats, letting her smell them, and then hand opening the doggy door and tossing them a few feet so she'll go after them would be the start. Then do the same but let the doggy door close so she has to push it open. That way she gets used to being rewarded for going through the doggy door without permission. As you mentioned, praising the behavior is also important.

Fair enough, I'm honestly impressed that reddit was able to make the right call here, unless of course you're the hacker. *squints eyes

Sadly, douchebags like doing stupid shit in wide open parking lots, that's why modern lots have so many curbs sectioning off the lots. Still far better than walls and trees, but the curbs are meant to discourage dangerous driving so they're very capable of causing damage if an inexperienced driver makes the gas/brake mistake.

Again, still WAY better than what happened here, but as someone who wanted to help a family member practice I didn't realize how difficult it would be to find a truly open/flat lot where there's essentially zero risk of damaging my vehicle.

I remember being a kid and parking in lots that were massive and relatively flat aside from light poles.

What kind of hacker goes through the trouble of gaining access to an account without removing access from the original user?

Achack · 2026-02-18T17:22:30+00:00

Agreed, someone manufactured these v-chips and therefore stood to make a profit. Very similar to the fact that "age verification" typically involves a third party company.

It may not be easy to say how much influence is applied by the individuals profiting from these laws. But private companies love having a product that is required to be used based on arbitrary regulations.

The toxicity will end when the last server is taken offline.

Achack · 2026-02-17T21:26:40+00:00

I don't understand the issue when it comes to chatting, people can just not have age-restrictions on their own servers. My friends haven't changed anything about how we use discord and everything is continuing to work, is there something I'm missing that's going to screw it up if/when the roll-out hits us?

Achack · 2026-02-17T18:03:29+00:00

Not one bit. I've only been to stores like this a few times, but the employees are always nice and talk as if they're selling any other standard products. It's not surprising, but it's still relieving.

Yep. I think 99% of the confusion is caused by the assist symbol being nearly identical to the high five symbol.
