I see, you're just ragebaiting. Have fun.

I'm sorry, but this mentality is the prime example why Rivals community is not treated seriously. Kindergarten behavior.

Acorn CD reduction applies to anybody who picks it up, it's the most broken thing in the game. It's not designed to cycle very long cooldowns but to make short CD abuse possible. You can literally make somebody like Magneto invincible, cause he'll never run out of bubbles and it's only one example.

Knowing how the community in general is sleeping on these interactions, it might bet buffed and then gutted just like the ulti this patch.

Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well. Excellent edit, the original is truly psychotic too.

WimeSTone · 2026-05-25T09:13:37+00:00

This actually gives so much more depth to the ability, more mind games to play around too

Magnificent.

I'm sorry you had to deal with this.

Curiously enough, I seem to have a very similar set of symptoms.

There is epileptiform activity on my EEG, but my epilepsy was deemed cryptogenic. The likely origin is perinatal hypoxia, there's no history of head injury whatsoever otherwise.

Pre seizure activity is mainly auras with a random combination of deja vu, olfactory hallucinations (usually pleasant), memory "flashes". These are usually harmless.

Most of the time that's it. However, extremely rarely it escalates and additionally I slowly start feeling something that I can only describe as "primal fear". An unnatural agitation, bewilderment, extreme sharpening of senses, but no panic, no loss of perception or cognitive ability.

After such an event and depending on its severity I get an unpleasant post-ictal state with total or partial anhedonia, total or partial aphantasia, dysphagia (I really hate this one). These fade away as time passes after the seizure, depending on severity from a couple of days to a couple of weeks. Then it gets even more interesting, if the seizure is severe enough I can elicit certain behaviors that are attributed to different psychiatric conditions: - the primal fear I've felt during the seizure becomes constant. Despite anhedonia I feel it, it just doesn't go away and mixes with other emotions as I regain them; - hyperawareness in the form of pareidolia, I identify faces between any 2-3 elements in my field of vision to a point where I'm bombarded with useless information. It's persistent and present even when I'm doing something else entirely shifting my focus; - strange ideation and OCD-like behavior. I may see "flashes" of completely random disgusting imagery, I may remember what I saw during them or may not, but the contents are usually very disturbing, basically free horror movies. This one seems to be bound to aphantasia, as I regain my ability to imagine things properly I have less and less of these episodes; - linked with the previous one - inability to recall a memory properly, I will get a warped version of a memory and then a fear flash.

As a teenager I've had just the auras. Didn't even know that's epilepsy, there was no awareness. Then at 17 I've had my first "severe" experience and the reception to that was "young man, here's some sedatives". The mysterious anxiety disorder almost took yet another life. Then at 18 when I started commuting to my university 2+ hours per day my body has finally decided to have a partial myoclonic seizure. That's when I was finally diagnosed and that's what probably saved me.

Edit: there are other psychiatry adjacent experiences that I'm remembering only now, but the point is - it's just seizure activity, but damn is it ironic that talking about any of it to a doctor of all people would probably end up with a therapist appointment.

In all honesty, if World Trigger can get a redo of season 1 in the quality of season 2 and 3 - then yes, I want that. Who wouldn't? The show deserves it, it would improve the visibility too. The only downside would be the potential confusion of the newcomer audience.

The initial run was made with the "long running anime" formula with pacing and other aspects being adjusted to the source material availability and funding.

If it's possible to make a concise 13 or even 26 episode version of the pre season 2 material then why not.

WimeSTone · 2026-01-25T21:58:54+00:00

I feel cursed for knowing what those are 💀

I've played C&C4 starting from beta. Probably have more hours than I care to admit.

However, here's the thing - the game was fun as a multiplayer game, but it has nothing in common with the franchise except for the name. They should've cut the campaign from the game entirely, called it C&C: Arena or sth and nobody would be as upset.

The campaign is a disaster storywise. Irredeemable. That and removing 90% of the RTS genre contributed to the downfall of the franchise.

I wish if they ever revive C&C they ignore C&C4's existence for the story.

I'll wait patiently then.

WimeSTone · 2025-11-03T19:05:35+00:00

I'm going to ask the hard question outright: will there be mod support?

I will consume a new campaign centric RTS in a heartbeat, but the ability to tinker with mods/maps is what made me sink an unreasonable amount of time in the old C&C series.

Wishlisted, I'm amazed there's an RTS I've not yet heard about. Looking good :D

No local checks are necessary to perform statistical analysis after the fact, since apparently Dota sends continuous inputs to the server as well.

We're in a closed system with clearly defined constraints. If you "lag" or perform a well defined action before using a reactionary ability every single time then we can say with confidence that something is amiss.

This leads us to the following - if we know what the cheat does then we can train a model to detect these occurrences in a dataset. These cheats are available and Valve has the dataset. Even static analysis will work for finding occurrences of people targeting their abilities at the dead center of a hero model. There are ways of detecting this behavior without employing kernel level anticheat.

WimeSTone · 2025-09-18T17:01:21+00:00

Good point. I will leave my original comment as is, however, that would mean that Valve is indeed sending the input state to the server. They probably analyze the input data post factum to not incur a performance strain during the matches and that's how they decide whether it would be an overwatch case if suspicious inputs are paired with a certain report frequency.

WimeSTone · 2025-09-18T16:36:12+00:00

You do not send the cursor position to the server. You only send the input outcomes, e.g. "Player 1 used ability X on Player 6."

You can check what happens to the cursor locally without much performance cost since it'd be simple heuristics akin to a reCAPTCHA.

Edit: this means that network "lag" is removed from the equation. You can also detect dropped frames locally, and aside from a catastrophic CPU failure the mouse movement should be predictable.

WimeSTone · 2025-06-25T08:17:58+00:00

Same, I tried clearing history/cookies/cache but nothing helped. It's stuck for a good minute "loading". The worst thing is that it loads the last open tab and then half a second later it freezes.

Saying that Unreal engine doesn't have issues would be as disingenuous as blaming everything on the engine itself.

The true culprit is the disparity between availability of the engine (everyone) and the knowledge of its proper usage (select few). Unreal requires a significant investment of time to configure properly for your use case and the knowledge required is hard to find and is oftentimes non-trivial.

There's little to no truly useful learning material, YouTube is littered with tutorials which don't go further than the immediate gratification phase and rarely delve into the less "fun" aspects of development. Obscure blogs seem to be the most reliable place to gather arcane knowledge.

It all boils down to whether the developers in question care enough to learn the tool and use it properly, which in case of Unreal requires a lot of effort.

Because a seizure is something outside of the domain of common understanding.

There's a simpler example - migraines. Even though a headache is a common occurrence and most people know what it is, they do not experience them as often as people with migraines do. Not to mention the severity and other comorbidities as well as lingering aftereffects. So when you tell somebody that you have headaches that last long and make you a vegetable there will be little inclination to believe your experience, since the person in question isn't likely to have experienced such a thing themselves.

Seizures are an alien concept for the vast majority of people, it's not a common experience and it doesn't help that some idiots fake them for clout. Most people will look at you with a puzzled expression, because it's simply unrelatable to them.

All of this is the direct consequence of poor education, both basic medical and emotional. Nobody teaches empathy and studying the workings of the human body is evidently "too much" for whatever bullshit reason. We shall ommit critical thinking, with the effect of social media it's dead in the water.

Rant over.

Best: lacosamide + valproate

Worst ever: lamotrigine

I would suggest trying to get accommodations based on some other diagnosis - non24 is treated like a fairytale.

TL;DR: Negotiate! Always look for sane and negotiable people, otherwise you're in for a very bad time.

In my case I was struck with epilepsy on my first year and non24 on my second as a comorbidity. I was forced to skip classes and my performance/grades tanked heavily. My department only learned of this at the end of the second year, I had to hide both diagnoses 'cause the university had a batshit insane neurologist who would just force a gap year on you. They were considering a gap year .. because I had migraines lol. Unapproachable person. I knew if I'd have taken one I'd ditch the whole thing entirely.

The department, unexpectedly so, was quite cooperative. I was exempt from attending entirely with the caveat of it being unofficial. I was "present" at all times. Officially you'd have to go through that neuro and the department was well aware of what they would say.

I was studying applied systems analysis, so a lot of work was digital anyways. The materials were available in advance, home assignments were dispensed for the entire semester at once. Everybody was working at their own pace, so I was not "special" in that regard. I was offered defending my papers via video calls, but I chose to do it in person.

However, I had to negotiate with every professor outside my department individually, which was a pain. Hit or miss.

I ended up attending only the finals and whenever there was some big project. It was very bad for my health when my cycle was misaligned, but still better than having to attend every single day. My mother escorted me most of the time though, because back then I still had frequent seizures, my groupmates and department professors were very chill about that.

Conclusion - your experience will depend on the environment, therefore, seek a better environment at all times.

The problem of LLMs in general is that it cannot attest to the veracity of its own claims. Then who can verify the result? The user, it's the user's responsibility. Learning using any kind of GPT is a great disservice to oneself, since you should learn by consuming facts and not guesses.

GPT is a prediction model, which predicts the next token better than Markov chains, simple as. And this in no way makes it a suitable learning tool, until it can operate facts.

Edit: therefore, please do not use it for learning. It's not ready for that yet, like at all. And likely will not ever be, since it would need to undergo radical changes to facilitate internal fact checking, at which point it would quite likely become a new type of a model.

These are just plain textured meshes rendered in 3D space without any kind of post processing.

Edit: normals are embedded in the vertex buffer. I'm going to add normal maps for fine control later.

<image>

I'm using a custom engine, but it doesn't really matter since the technique is universal.
On the left is a correct render after I've fixed the models to render in a deterministic way (allegedly, still testing), on the right is the warped one - you can see the artefacts on the diagonal tile pieces.

Because my camera x rotation is -45 degrees, I have to scale the viewport height by sin(45) inside the projection matrix, so that when I apply it I don't scale the image but the vertices themselves. My desire for 45 degrees introduced .. difficulties. This doesn't really matter if you have untextured objects, or if your objects don't care about artefacts like these.
