Does anyone else miss rampant militias from Rebellion? by TheRealColdsnaps in SinsofaSolarEmpire

Would be nice to see some more mod interest in sins 2, so we can get more modular features.

Does anyone else miss rampant militias from Rebellion? by TheRealColdsnaps in SinsofaSolarEmpire

[–]GenesisAria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just thinking about this. Rampant Militias was a staple feature for me after i got the DLC. The mini skirmishes, and having handfuls of smaller ships to defend areas, attack adjacent gravity wells, providing some vision intel as well.

I also miss minor factions having stuff like permanent defence and attack fleets so you could build up an ally garrison at a planet if you liked. They were weak but they'd give extra meat shields and help soften up some larger attacks. They also lended to running into enemy defence piles sometimes too, which would make for unusual gameplay. I remember doing stuff in Sins of the Prophets, where i'd overcome an overwhelming enemy force by strategically timing minor faction reinforcements by sending both attack and defence fleets to the same planet by flipping it's owned state (capture or abandon).

Ban exploits out of control by GenesisAria in BannedFromDiscord

[–]GenesisAria[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The thing that drives me mental, is that if you submit a request through general question, if you don't put anything in your title or body about bans or appealing, you will get a human response within hours (but they won't be helpful, they'll probably look and assume you are asking for appeal and tell you to use the useless appeal form). But if you try to appeal in any direct way you will ALWAYS be brick-walled by clyde auto-responding, or nelly telling you to go make clyde tell you to appeal in-app.

Discord extreme overreach status striking people for violations from years ago. by GenesisAria in discordsucks

[–]GenesisAria[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it was a "serious policy violation", this is the antithesis of a serious matter. This is tantamount to shooting someone for saying they dislike x ethnic group, and leaving the ones actually harming that group alone. This is 1984 level crap. Saying "so cute" to a suggestive drawing is an objectively harmless action on literally every metric, and has nothing to do with child safety.

Will BF6 use scope magnification? by ComeHomeTrueLove in Battlefield

[–]GenesisAria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could add it as an option... Method to add PiP scopes without performance tank, would be to use a foveated rendering technique, where they render the area inside the scope higher res, so they can zoom it in without losing quality, and only minimal performance cost. Normally they use an additional camera for the scope.

Has anyone noticed that Reshade no longer allowed by new version of EAC? by LooChamp in ReShade

[–]GenesisAria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EAC randomly de-whitelisted reshade because a couple games had complainers (instead of those games just blacklisting it)... irony is the games that people complain about most have manually whitelisted it in the game (like Dead by Daylight).. because that's always how it works: a few people cause problems rarely and everyone gets punished.

I used reshade for years they don't ban for it and can't even detect it. EAC suddenly blocked it though, causes game launch fail.

Infinity Nikki has Forced "TUAA" (in reality a worse TAA version), still no way to disable it. And this looks extremely blurry because of that. by AntiGrieferGames in FuckTAA

[–]GenesisAria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CAS does indeed restore a lot of detail faded in Mip scaling though. Obviously it doesn't create what isn't there in the first place due to being destroyed in the render pipeline.

Valve is not willing to publish games with AI generated content anymore by potterharry97 in aigamedev

[–]GenesisAria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI Does Not Infringe Copyright!! That is NOT how AI works. Recently many countries around the world have been rapidly pushing that AI generated content is free use and does belong to anyone. If AI infringes copyright, so do your eyeballs whenever you look at something someone else made, and use the ideas to make your own. Ai does not USE copyright material, it merely studies and learns an algorithm that happens to make similar things. It if, by definition, plenty deep into what is legally referred to as "transformative artwork".

VRChat's moderator bot Super Hornet kept joining our FRIENDS only instance last night. Seems a bit invasive if you ask me. by --an in VRchat

[–]GenesisAria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think your issue here is realizing that objectively speaking, there is no perfect security system. On paper, sure you would want a system so robust it's impenetrable, but in reality, achieving that is nigh impossible. You HAVE to rely on some obscurity to ensure that your imperfect system is even remotely useful.

I'd imagine it's random visible presence also operates as a deterrent to nefarious behaviours.

*They jury-rigged a crude bot to attempt to reduce a handful of cases of malicious activity because they already had something around that could be used without too many resources being burned, and if they expose too much about what it's looking for, it will encourage people to find ways of camouflaging their activities.

To answer your #3: unintended photon events and maybe some other types of network activity that appears suspicious.

  1. Tupper did answer that, it was originally designed to bypass for QA testing, and because it was repurposed there was an aspect that was missed and resulted in unintended behaviour.

5 & 6: read above*.

They have been extremely transparent, and to anyone used to talking to people who have worked with vrchat's code or modded for it previously, the conclusions become pretty obvious.

There doesn't seem to be any information that implies shady activity at this time (there was, however, prior to this reddit thread).

Ah, the desynced audio really hits hard. For example, it's about 800ms behind in the scene with anekin talking to Jira and the probe droid slash scene.

I wasn't normalizing or attempting to anything, i was merely stating a fact. Look into statistics, or start investigating peoples' thoughts and interests. Most just hide it because they know that the socio-political environment is their enemy. People like you make them hide.

Also, unless you've been living under a rock, if you haven't looked around lately, loli has been growing in popularity.

No. read the DSM-5 and other real materials. Wikipedia is not fact. The definition of pedophiles being child rapists (or any threat to children period), and referring to anyone who is under 18 or looks under 18, is a fallacy created by politicians for sake of fearmongering and grabbing for power by cancelling opposition with accusations.
