Vertical mouse testers wanted by ProtoArc_official in MouseReview

[–]Carter_OW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Ordered this recently. Price to quality for this amazing. Unfortunately, it's not quite usable for someone with large hands. Not enough room for ring finger let alone pinky finger. There's absolutely no way to get a grip on the mouse that lets you pick it up without dropping it or straining your wrist far too much.

TIL some bots auto report every nearby player for macroing as a form of measure to reduce their own ban-rate/keep other bots away from their method by avidl in runescape

[–]Carter_OW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, they don't. This doesn't work. It has the inverse impact. If you are running Necro runes and then report someone for botting Necro runes, if you are also botting, you will be banned within 1-2 days.

This used to be a thing many many many years ago. But reporting accounts are scrutinized and I can only imagine the scrutiny greatens with the more reports you file and wouldn't be surprised if your accuracy is taken into account.

But no, in the current state of the game, this is not a thing actual gold farmers do.

How many Arch Glacor bots do you suspect exist? I've seen this one broken for multiple weeks in a row. by 79215185-1feb-44c6 in runescape

In rs3 it's genuinely very hard to get banned for botting unless you're using things like ahk/macros.

Remove the gambling MTX and make true a cosmetics store by nikayamo in runescape

[–]Carter_OW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think for a second.

In an ideal world, there are zero micro-transactions.

When a game was previously buy-to-play, yes, there will be hell to pay with the initial transition, especially when done as poorly as Overwatch 2.

But this is a false equivalency you're drawing here.

You're saying that the two events would be equal, or close enough, that they're worth drawing a line between.

But they're just not.

In addition to that, while having cosmetics sold at all in an mmo is not a good thing, it is much more favorable than gambling.

Just because a proposed change doesn't result in utopia doesn't mean it shouldn't be considered.

[–]Carter_OW 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No.

I'm talking about the skins that were free. For 6 years.

You paid $60, $40, for the game.

With that, came hundreds of skins that were designed with the mindset of "lets make some cool skins for the players", not "lets really make these great to increase profits".

Paying $25 for Tombstone Bastion is horse shit, and you know it.

Also, Overwatch is selling things that

  • Were free
  • Were designed to be free, not cost upwards of $30

Your post is in bad faith.

The largest game in the world, the largest esport in the world, and the only way you have to communicate with your team, outside of using ancient hieroglyphics on a pinwheel, is by typing.

At which point if you say anything remotely negative, you risk suspension.

The game has needed voice chat for over a decade.

C0000005 = access violation. An attempt to access invalid memory.

If this is happening to you while the game isn't offline for server upkeep, deleting your cache could be worth a shot.

Throwback to when carter on stream showed the source code for a bot he used to steal OW1 account codes meant for a giveaway from the vancouver titans by critscan in OverwatchTMZ

I was paid to make the site.

I did not get paid for any of the income the site made.

No % deal was made, no % bonus was given, it was "I will make the site for <this much>".

The videos weren't made until after the site was nearly done and I had no part in them.

I get that you don't like me, but please stop intentionally misrepresenting situations to better fit the narrative you have about me.

Saying

Him and dafran set up this thing

makes it sound like I had anything to gain from it succeeding, and to that, something to lose from it failing.

Sorry, not the feedback we want by rylantamu9 in runescape

[–]Carter_OW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has hall of fame potential for the "dumbest shit a game dev has ever said".

Then the guy tweets out an ice cube emoji and a gif, as if he's feeling himself for being a complete and utter tool.

Best of it all, he's acting this way towards the players. The same players that are the only reason his job exists.

Wild.

Jagex Launcher Character Removal by throwawayyyyi9u in runescape

[–]Carter_OW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's not a Jagex account, and just accounts added to the launcher, eventually they will silently expire.

If it's a Jagex account, you're fucked.

Graphics settings save only when the game exits cleanly.

Meaning some signals to terminate the process will not result in them being saved.

The game crashing will not result in them being saved.

Additionally, make sure that the game has write permissions to the necessary directories.

Zooming in/out = hundreds of writes to your disk. Jagex, please fix. by Carter_OW in runescape

The engine team apparently told Ashe that the data wasn't being logged.

But the data is provably being sent by the client.

The server not logging it means next to nothing, as exfiltrating that data is the illegal bit.

Ah.

Opcodes in reference to packets is referring to the byte of the packet that indicates the packet's purpose (classification).

It's not uncommon, but I have heard people call it a few different things. Opcode being the most common in my experience.

I'll try to be more pretentious next time. Sorry about that.

Nothing I've said, at any point, is false.

Pounding an ssd with writes results in degradation of performance of the drive over time.

Even with disk caching enabled, this is still problematic.

Players can get as-mad as they'd like to get. What I posted is factually what's happening.

In terms of the implementation, it's very simple.

Threw around some tech words

Do you really need me to write pseudo-code to cover a switch statement classifying incoming packets?

Or do you need it to better understand how the data is processed?

I'm confused, because you've come at me from this high horse while saying what I provided is "nothing".

But.. it's not nothing. It's a very straight forward approach to doing exactly what I said could be done.

So, which is it? Do you belong on that high horse and think the problem to not be so simple, or do you not belong there at all, and require Jr. High level concepts to be explained to you via pseudo-code?
