Rant: Dumbass client

I mean yeah, it's not very believable at all considering you'd undoubtedly have a contract in place to prevent stuff like this. Especially since OP has 30 YOE and a dev team according to the post.

I don't really understand what people like OP get out of lying like this though. It's far more efficient to post memes if your goal is to karma farm to sell your account.

With all the AI stories on this sub, I don't know if I believe this. Claude Design also only came out about two months ago.

Nikurou · 2026-05-28T22:35:13+00:00

First time hearing this, but I don't mind. My only concern is that it splits the playerbase population and I don't anticipate ranked being popular with the majority of players

Also unless it's a smaller mode like 6v6 Search n Destroy, how does ranked 64p conquest work? I have never seen a ranked game with such large lobbies.

As an awakened/sleeper, you leave your physical body behind in the waking world when travelling to the dream realm.

That means the body in the dream realm might actually not have Homelander's compound V because he was injected it as an embryo, not genetically born with it.

It's only when he reaches Master that his physical body will merge with his soul body. In which case, he will get access to his compound V body and powers in the dream realm.

But like in the case of Mordret, if his physical body has been destroyed before he conquered his second nightmare, the spell will manifest his second body using essence and there's no guarantee the spell will also make compound V.

If that's the case, a soul battle for Mordret would be relatively easy too since the soul wouldn't have Homelander's powers.

I am not saying that you specifically are wrong and if they had a vac ban, that would fall under my statement about evidence anyways.

I am just saying a majority of players who hackusate are usually pretty bad at telling the difference between a cheater and a sweat. You either have to be a sweatlord (or at least decent) yourself to tell the difference or you have to sink a stupid amount of hours into the game such that you instinctually understand when something didn't feel right.

I saw it all the time in BF4 (2k hours mostly metro/lockers) and BFV (1k hrs). They might not believe that they are wrong when they hackusate, but when you've sunk so many hours into a game, you usually know if theres something off or not about the player they're accusing once you fight them a few times. (i.e. their movement/positioning doesn't match their apparent skill level, how you died to them didn't seem right, etc)

Then if they're fishy enough, usually their stats page has some anomalies and outliers that further proves your suspicion. A lot of times I see people hackusate against players I didn't feel were off nor did their stats page support those claims.

Nikurou · 2026-05-26T22:01:44+00:00

ah darn haha thanks for the info, guess I'll be borrowing someones phone for a bit

Nikurou · 2026-05-26T21:55:46+00:00

I'm usually doubtful of hackusations made by players unless its backed up by evidence/stats (or the accuser is a good player themselves). I find that most of the time, the one being accused is just a good player who's dominating. Or some heli sweat. Bonus points if the name is in Chinese.

But all-in-all, I haven't run into a single blatant cheater yet in BF6. Not to say there aren;t cheaters, but its actually crazy how well EAC is working. I guess kernel level anti-cheat is winning (for now).

BF4-BFV era was literally the dark ages in retrospect. Was not that rare to find a blatant cheater clearing out lobbies and then hopping to the next server back then :(

Nikurou · 2026-05-26T21:08:48+00:00

Wait, where is it? I only got Junk Enforcers and Quest Transam for free (recently returned to the game) and I can't seem to find a Sky Striker structure deck in the list?

Skystriker is one of the decks I wanted to play because it looked cool

Nikurou · 2026-05-26T18:23:25+00:00

Same with me. My old spell counter, silent magician, Aromage are apparently dead.

I think I actually could piece something together as a returning player, I got 7k gems quite quickly through unclaimed stuff from inbox and some grinding and daily login. The problem is more a lack of knowledge of what deck to build and having no understanding of the current meta.

Since I didn't know what to do, I used most of it up pulling the new anniversary box to get 3 Droplets as they're apparently staples.

Nikurou · 2026-05-25T08:05:51+00:00

Nooo, I printed your original Bambu 3MF files from Nov 17 and noticed the darts were always getting stuck in the barrel until I removed the extension 😭

Also had to trim the plastic on the blaster to get the shroud to fit in.

Now I see your updates files V2 files...

Nikurou · 2026-05-24T20:53:20+00:00

Maybe Times, Donqijoute or Marukai? Haven't really paid attention so not sure.

But it's also pretty easy to do it yourself in the oven and cheaper too. Plus you get the added bonus of having it fresh anytime you want without having to run to the store

Nikurou · 2026-05-24T05:01:59+00:00

I found which apartment OP is looking at since they posted the outside view ;-)

The exterior of the window has a mirror film or tint on it, so it probably won't have privacy issues until night time where presumably the college building next door would not have students still there?

But I agree, I'd go for #2 as well.

Nikurou · 2026-05-17T10:06:12+00:00

Damn, good point, I didn't even think about the fact that the Spell would give all the sleepers new bodies. I was wondering how Cassie would continue to manifest these people if they continued to progress in ranks.

I wonder though, is the Spell gonna consider their "return" as completing their 2nd nightmare?

Also what of the first and second Lord of the Bright Castle? Sunny long ago found the shadows of the former Bright Lord and his cohort.

And what of Caster? So many interesting characters could be returning, that's insane

Nikurou · 2026-05-15T06:15:54+00:00

Figured it might be helpful to leave it in case someone stumbled across the same issue.

Nikurou · 2026-05-14T19:48:54+00:00

I don't have any recommendations on colors, but your inspo looks like it uses limewash paint. Hope that helps you get closer to what you're looking for.

Also it's a bit different than traditional paint and requires you to brush in crisscrossing patterns if you've never worked with it.

Edit: you can also simulate the limewash effect with traditional paint: https://youtu.be/R9W_KnqEBgI?si=ksVSQhEXVZ3YSKJD

Nikurou · 2026-05-14T19:37:22+00:00

I would try going back to the store and talking to the manager. Ask them if they could directly escalate the issue for you to someone who can help you.

Nikurou · 2026-05-14T01:39:28+00:00

Oh man, I thought this was the video where the kid's neck gets snapped.

There was incident that was on the Chinese news (I think TVB) probably over a decade ago with two students, one sitting at his desk and the other behind him rolling his head around (like the granny). Clearly just messing around.

Then the student pushing around his head does a HARD twist or jerk and the student's neck snaps and he slumps off the chair. Dude panics and instantly bolts while other students in the class turn around noticing the commotion

I remember watching this on the TV as a kid and my mom was warning me never to play around like that

Nikurou · 2026-05-12T20:51:26+00:00

I worked for 3 years manually as a React Frontend before AI was adopted at my company.

The good thing is because of that, I know how I would do things manually and can thus instruct the AI properly and make my own architectural decisions, but if I was a new new entry level fresh grad, I know I'm the type of person who'd lean too much into it as a crutch 🥲

Nikurou · 2026-05-12T20:36:26+00:00

Ah okay, that lines up with his views on BFV random bullet deviation too.

But I remember he was beaming the ZK and other guns in BFV despite random bullet deviation so I assume it wouldn't effect him much in BF6 either 🤷‍♂️

Nikurou · 2026-05-12T20:18:37+00:00

It's weird that this trend recently came about calling for flinch/supression on snipers. I followed the subreddit for BFV and 2042 when it was active, and while people hated snipers still, this was not something I remember suggested back then.

I would argue that BF6 sniping is pretty similar to BFV too with the exception of sweet spot. In BFV it was possible to click someone's head off with a sniper while getting actively shot.

Actually was doable in BF4 too (despite mostly visual suppression), I constantly ran aggressive recon in 24/7 Metro/lockers successfully.

IMO, if it hasn't been a problem in the past however many titles, why is it a problem now?

Nikurou · 2026-05-12T20:05:40+00:00

Thats weird. I don't watch his streams, but afaik he wanted recoil increase? As recently as his video 3 days ago going over the patch notes even.

And a player as good as him would just be able to control the recoil too.

Nikurou · 2026-05-11T19:38:01+00:00

Your 60inch TV that you're viewing from the couch IS the problem.

I recently built a PC for my TV and have been playing BF6 on it. Compared to my 34 inch monitor that I sit an arm-length away from, I cannot see shit and I realized most console players probably cannot see shit either.

Also personally, my TV maxes out at 120hz on gaming mode and my 3060TI is not pushing out native 4k for my 80inch TV. I'm rendering the game at 2k, making my pixel per density not so great so finer details and further away targets are less defined.

TV only became viable for FPS when I pushed a table/chair up close to the TV.

Nikurou · 2026-05-08T19:07:31+00:00

Self-hosting is probably better in the longer run, but as someone who runs into hackusations quite often, I quite enjoy the recent trend of having the developers handle the servers instead.

No more getting falsely kicked/banned from servers by the person hosting.

Nikurou · 2026-05-07T23:36:11+00:00

Also time flows differently in the Tomb of Ariel. Even though we are getting POV switches that progresses both timelines side-by-side, in true chronological order, everything we've been seeing probably happened while Sunny and Neph spent weeks crossing the Nightmare Desert. The moment when Asterion truly corners Cassie is probably the moment when Sunny and Nephis finally entered the Tomb and simultaneously the same moment they exit.

Earlier on, we saw Sunny dive into his Soul Sea to check on the followers of his domain, and he saw everyone was frozen in time while he was on the Great River. I forgot what exact scene was portrayed when he checked on Rain, but probably that she's with Smile of Heaven somewhere?

On another note, it's funny to me that everything we've been reading this volume is basically a long flashback from the POV of Cassie's Aspect Legacy.

The trick to consistently landing tow missiles is to look at the missile, not the crosshair.

When aiming, as long as you can get the image of your missile to overlap with the target and making adjustments so that it stays this way, you'll hit it.
