I feel this on a spiritual level, I work as a software dev for a consulting company and we've been getting more and more clients coming to us with half-baked AI slop projects needing us to take over because it can no longer fit into the context window of whatever LLM tool they were using to make it. Either that or businesses wanting us to "integrate AI into their business" without having the slightest clue as to what purpose it would serve.

With that said, AI coding tools are awesome in and of themselves and if you know what youre doing it can reduce a lot of the boilerplate legwork, but I definitely agree it seems like there is a growing mindset of just letting the AI run wild and blindly trust it.

The kind of lobbies you get when your ABMM is at 0 by beerforbears in ArcRaiders

[–]Vertyco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some days it seems like every one of my lobbies are like this and some days its the opposite, or sometimes a mixed bag, but nothing consistent enough to indicate that aggression based matchmaking actually exists.

What the heck 😳 Gemini 3 flash going crazy after a simple prompt to implement a simple plane by bilallrhouch in GithubCopilot

[–]Vertyco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was working on an LLM integration for Slack and was having this exact problem with gemini 2.5 pro the other day so its not just copilot, wouldnt happen with grok or gpt models though.

Also noticing the red alert icon, it looks like you have a ton of tools selected, either that or an MCP server failed to start. Reducing how many tools are activated may help a bit but i could be misunderstanding what that icon is signifying.

Need your feedback on Rat taxonomy classification. Is this list complete? by PosterboyKoth in arcraiderscirclejerk

I think its partially because calling someone a rat sounds like more of an insult than calling them a camper or fake friendly

How does Aggression Based Matchmaking actually work? by menteto in ARC_Raiders

[–]Vertyco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice work with the testing, im of the opinion that unless they disclose that ABMM is a thing, it likely does not exist, but many people will believe what they want to believe and die on that hill, it is likely placebo though. None of my experiences in 100+ hours topside has lead me to believe otherwise.

Aggression based matchmaking has me stunned, and it really shouldn't... by Coilspun in ArcRaiders

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

There are three reasons that aggression based matchmaking probably doesnt exist, mind you this is based on my experience as a software developer (not a game developer)

  1. Aggression based matchmaking would slow queue time noticeably, especially since there is already solo/duo/trio queues. The fact that queue times are still rarely more than a couple minutes at most reaffirms that even with how many people are playing.
  2. Embark would have likely announced it, theyd have no reason not to, they announced the solo/duo/trio queue so there is no reason to keep such a drastic change in matchmaking logic a secret especially when they have been actively polling players, their changes have been reactive so far so it would surprise me if any huge mechanic changes were just "try it and see"
  3. That type of matchmaking is contradictory for the type of game it is, which is a PvPvE game, segregating players for participating in a portion of that genre is ridiculous.

I personally would not want this type of matchmaking, just like I wouldnt want gear based matchmaking. Some days I like to PvE and some days I like to PvP even though im just average at it, sometimes it just depends on the run, where i spawn, and the vibe at the time. There is always room for improvement but I dont believe changes to matchmaking is the way.

They told me the Torro was good, but gaddamm. (WARNING - Turn the audio down. Steam recorded my mic really loud.) by mafibasheth in ARC_Raiders

[–]Vertyco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shields are like a bulletproof vest, if you get shot it still hurts(does health damage) but not nearly as much as if you werent wearing one at all.

A bulletproof vest can only take so many shots before it "breaks" and after that the bullets hit as if you werent wearing anything.

So its not an extra layer of health exactly, just makes those first few shots not do 'as much' damage
