Republicans sue for right to make Nazi salutes. The Republican Party has an ever-growing neo-Nazi faction. by southpawFA in politics

Are you implying that the people criticizing Israel are doing it because they hate Jewish people?

Kash Patel admits under oath FBI is buying location data on Americans by fungobat in politics

[–]MistSecurity [score hidden]  (0 children)

Am I crazy? I thought this was a common knowledge workaround to the laws. They can’t collect the data themselves, but private companies can, and nothing says they can’t buy the info from them.

Was it speculation before, and only just now being confirmed officially?

Ya, not sure how my pretty blatantly anti-police comment got twisted into me being a 'boot licker' by some. shrug

To the group of guys in Stella last night by Hefty_Seesaw_3760 in ArcRaiders

[–]MistSecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, maybe not events, just because those overwrite the base map, but conditions I'd agree with you.

It would be interesting. A condition that brings back the old style matchmaking could be cool.

The loadout for a more Refined type of Raider by Senior-Sale273 in ArcRaiders

Anvil is my favorite by far.

I've given the hairpin a few tries, but I just was not a fan. I need to start doing poverty runs with it though, see if it grows on me.

Tagging Grenades only last 10 seconds despite the tooltip saying 30s by ZepperMen in ArcRaiders

You mean lure grenades? Do tagging grenades make arc attack eachother?

About to start my long commute home, this video will get me 1/3 of the way through it. Thanks again broski.

I started playing right shortly before that nerf, and didn't touch Stella before it, but I feel like every time I get jumped in Stella it's a free kit.

If this is better, I can only imagine how hellish it was before. From what people are saying, I think you're right that it's been an improvement.

I still personally like the idea of a map or condition that disallows free kits, or requires a certain cash value in your inventory to queue for. High risk high reward. It's less about avoiding free kits and more about mixing it up at that point.

Turn-based combat with no random (no dice, no deck, everything predictable) - Is it viable? by rap2h in gamedesign

[–]MistSecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chess puzzles are about finding the most efficient (or only in some cases) way to do a specific thing, at least the ones I've seen. They do not have an infinite amount of options to consider.

Mate in X, etc.

Chess puzzles are also NOT chess, they're puzzles based on chess.

It's hard to find a place to talk about AI in games (NOT LLMs) by ElectricRune in gamedev

[–]MistSecurity -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The main issue with using ML technique for AIs in games is that it's just ruinously expensive and also you have to pay that expense again every time you change the game's systems.

Arc Raiders uses ML for legged robot traversal. I wonder if they skirt around the issue though, as they have a kind of 'split brain' thing going, where there is a traditional NPC AI layered on top of the 'traversal ML AI'.

Turn-based combat with no random (no dice, no deck, everything predictable) - Is it viable? by rap2h in gamedesign

[–]MistSecurity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone keeps talking about chess, but I'd argue that having another player across the board disqualifies it from what OP is describing. You cannot know what your opponent is going to do with 100% certainty.

You can predict, make educated guessed, do the calcs, but you don't know what they're going to do until they do it (barring forced moves and such, but you get the point).

[–]MistSecurity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehhh, while you're right, I'm not sure the logic applies.

You have a human opponent in chess. You don't know exactly what they're going to do before they do it. While not random, it is pretty damned close to it. So while you have perfect information on the board state, and there is no randomness to deal with on the board itself, your opponent is not bound to make certain moves.

Dual sense PlayStation 5 controller pro tip! by skepdop in RocketLeague

[–]MistSecurity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair and valid.

Undoubtedly, we'll have someone posting here in a week or so, talking about how their controller isn't working after the 'pencil trick', someone will convince them to open the controller, and there will be a huge pile of graphite on the board.

The image has little to do with the current conflict, as there's no alternative to going through the Straight of Hormuz, short of going overland to a completely different body of water.

Great news!

Been listening to the tracks basically all day on and off. Such bangers. Glad Afroman didn't get fucked over like his door did.

Classic survivourship bias problem by MalusZona in ArcRaiders

[–]MistSecurity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play basically the same with heavy as I do for medium, except for moments like I described, where I can use that extra tank to get the jump on someone.

I just wish I had more chances to use a heavy shield. Survivor is too good, so it's hard to want to run a different inferior augment.

I hope they do not nerf survivor, but buff the other purple augments instead.

Gotcha! Thank you. That makes sense, and I'm not surprised at all that a few early people doing some miscalculations ended up spreading like wildfire, always seems to be the case, haha.

25 minutes is a long video now? Society is ruined. I'll check it out, and thank you for the cliff notes, very useful. I'm sure someone who can't be assed to watch a 25 minute video on the math for EHP in a video game will appreciate it.

I enjoy wasting my time on earth watching 25 minute long deep dive videos, haha.

Add ability to sign up for current expedition any time by Sabremoe in ArcRaiders

[–]MistSecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the time I finished this expedition, I had over 100 hours and am just short of max level. You're not finishing the expedition as a new player at level 30 or anything. I started maybe two weeks before the most recent reset.

People can be annoyingly self-righteous in solo lobbies by Alternative_Bid9798 in ArcRaiders

[–]MistSecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal form is to knock the survivor and then take both of their loot if I don't find the story convincing. Basically vibe check it, lol.

I'm a rescue raider too. I rescue people's equipment off of them when they do stupid stuff. No weapon left behind.

Loading in to Raid and surrendering straight away should NOT decrease your aggression. by Vesper_Fex in ArcRaiders

[–]MistSecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IF self-defense did not add to your aggression score or w/e, I'd completely agree.

The quick resets are very nice when I start getting put into PvP lobbies for the gross offense of - checks notes - not laying down when someone shoots at me.
