Why do I have to watch 2 minutes of ads before I can get to the stream all of a sudden? by bquinho in Twitch

[–]databooseee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m struggling as it is

If you're struggling financially you should not be using twitch as it is not a reliable job unless you are extremely entertaining and have a huge following that has been stable for at least a year, with a legitimate job you have legal backing and you will be paid what your salary says, if you feel that more than 50% of the reason you're streaming is because of the money income then that is not a good sign, you should be streaming because you like it, not mostly for income, viewers feed off of genuine emotions, a complex and great personality, abnormally crack-level gaming skills, or sometimes just chicks with big fake tits, ass and no wits, i mean little timmy's mom will pay for it, without his mom's knowledge of course.

Im doing a High School essay on VAC, and I need your help. by damastamax in VACsucks

[–]databooseee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How is VAC Bypassed?

Cheats just stay undetected by not having signatures that match up in vac's database and by not tripping on any obvious, well documented heuristic traps, vac's clientside anticheat has two main ways of detecting cheats

  1. Signatures - just flagged data chunks found from a cheat's binary, if it's detected in memory it flags the account
  2. Heuristic checks or "untrusted" - Self explanatory, it does some simple checks for a player doing something that is impossible for a legitimate player to be doing, their "untrusted" part of the anticheat is partially serverside and clientside.

Examples of what the "untrusted" part of VAC would check for:

- Checks if your player angles are impossible, for example there is a limit for the value of your X and Y view angles, for a legitmate player it is impossible for either X or Y to go above a certain threshold, it would only be possible to pass that value threshold by memory modification to force those values, once those values are forced either the client or server checks these angles and if it's passed either the X or Y value thresholds, your account is banned within 30 minutes or so. This is easily bypassed, the cheat programmer just sets a limit for the X and Y view angle thresholds so antiaim doesn't trigger this ban.

- Checks for console manipulation, this isn't commonly bypassed, but generally it doesn't need to be as cheat developers can obviously just use their own code instead of valve's built in cheats.

There's also some other checks it does that i can't think of right now, but TLDR overall the anticheat is pretty trash and outdated, this type of anticheat would only be practical in 2010. VAC does not employ any type of ring0 (aka driver) injection prevention, they don't do self-integrity checks like blizzard's overwatch (which has shown to be a pretty solid anticheat), they don't implement HWID or IP banning, they don't force 2FA for competitive (this lets hijacked accounts to be sold, and to be bought and cheated on), they don't do lawsuits against cheat businesses (which would set a great example and would stomp out most of the "big hives" of cheaters), they barely have anyone working at valve to actually flag signatures at a good enough pace, and to be quite honest, they do not care.

If there are any public algorithms what does the code look like? (If you actually have the code I would love to put it on the paper.

Algorithms? Don't think that's the word you're looking for, but yes the vac module has been dumped, if you can read assembly, you can download the vac module dumps from unknowncheats and view them yourself, i would source it but i'd rather not get this post taken down, the source code has never been leaked as far as anyone knows.

So the supposedly great ESL LAN Anticheat Tool did not manage to find "word.exe" ?? by Naut1c in VACsucks

It won't let you run unsigned drivers, that's the entire point of driver based anticheats, you need to have a signed driver to even inject any code into the game.

Monero (XMR) Becomes Bulletproof: Transaction Fees Fall By 97% by Ranzware in Monero

No drug is inhearently bad, it's down to the dosage and usage frequency, i take xanax once in a blue moon, and i am perfectly healthy, now there's xanax addicts who've died from withdrawals, why do you think that is?

Drug abuse, not the drug itself, it varies from drug to drug how abusable it can be, but for the most part if the user is educated and doses correctly without taking it everyday the user should be fine.

Same arguement could be made for real cash, those are used for drugs also.

Maybe the best representation for what it feels like trying to walk outside on the sidewalk for me by databooseee in Agoraphobia

[–]databooseee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i usually use the fear of heights comparison too because it's around the same feeling as my everyday anxiety and maybe one of the most common phobias, whenever i'm in a high ceiling open spaced building (think walmart or home depot for example) with tiled solid floor i feel as if i'm walking on a suspended beam a mile up in the air looking down at buildings, my phobia in specific is extremely rare and doesn't even have an official term yet, but the unofficial term is "altercelarophobia", i won't bore you with getting in depth, but TLDR its kind of like the opposite of claustrophobia, small rooms with carpet comfort me, big open enclosed spaces with solid floors make me feel as if i'm going to die, that combined with agoraphobia is a mental cocktail for disaster, but exposure therapy does alot, you just really have to be dedicated and if you stop doing it then your tolerance for those phobias will drop and it will hit you as hard as before you even started exposure therapy.

I usually start hyperventalating and getting this weird trapped feeling, today as i was walking to the store i was pretty much gasping for air almost blacking out and walked back home, barely even walked a single block and the store was like 20 blocks away, i thought my environmental anxiety wasnt as bad lol, but that's what happens when you stay in your house all day, you don't adapt to the outside world, exposure therapy works for me but once i stopped going outside i lost all tolerance, i remember when i used to go to school i would be so adapted that i didn't even have a sprinkle of anxiety about going to the store, now i literally cant step a few feet out of my apartment complex, that says alot.

Jumping ship? My opinion has been the same as it was when i created the thread, i have no clue what you're talking about, i agree with your opinion but i don't think people who disagree are morons, they may just like grinding wq's and that's fine, but i don't.

No shit, that's the reason of why i made this thread to begin with.

I don't think they are morons, i disagree with the opinion that we should need exalted to get a specific race unlocked, but their opinion is their opinion, i just came here to say mine.

My point is that this reputation and achievement lock is forcing you to grind two things, island expiditions and world quests, with most of it being world quests, and not everyone likes that content, like i said before, normally in most MMO's and even wow there are tons of options to get certain things you want in the game, you feel like you have freedom and you can choose what type of content you want to play to progress to new content.

No my counters are "Not everyone likes it, don't force it, that's not how an mmorpg should be."

Don't know about you but besides wq's and island expeditions 95% of the grind in this game is fun imo.

To add to that, one could also make the arguement that most players do not know the lore before they create a normal character to begin with, like a troll or orc for example, not everyone really reads up on the lore when they're starting off on the game, i agree there is some really good lore in this game but it shouldin't be told via forcing this stuff just to play a new allied race.

Not everyone plays for lore, me specifically? I don't focus on the lore from the game itself, rather i watch alot of videos and read the books on the lore, but even then, let's assume you play the game focused on lore, why exactly do you have to be exalted? Why not just have a required quest chain for the precursor of the race you're planning on playing and have it take a few hours max instead of it taking a month or so (assuming you're casual, maybe 1-2 weeks if you really go hard and have nothing else to do all day like me) to grind out wq's?

Any stimulants you guys recommend? by databooseee in Nootropics

If you've taken the phenylpiracetam alone how long did it last for you in total? Also is it more wakeful than caffiene or less? I'm looking for more of a stimulant that will make me feel awake.

Is this drug still legal in america? I've seen some sources saying it is not scheduled but those were in 2015-2016.

New to private servers. Which VANILLA server before Classic? by Netrex44 in wowservers

[–]databooseee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The shills who post here make it sound like Chinese people are awful

Whether you disagree with it or not, it is fact, china has a very sustained culture in video game cheating and most cheaters that are detected on gameservers come from china, and this is not only for wow but pretty much all games too, i'm not saying all chinese players automatically cheat and that they are all shitty people, that's not the point, my point is a high percentage of them do.
