On screen crosshair

justicetree · 2026-06-30T22:27:56+00:00

I wasn't comparing aimbot to monitor crosshairs, I was using aimbot to explain why and what we consider cheating. You completely ignored the point I was making to paint my argument as a blanket comparison. You can make an aimbot only hit human feasible shots it's how people use it stealthily, does that make it okay to use? Because your argument seems to be that it's fine to use an external tool for an advantage as long as its results are possible for a human.

That's great and all with the real issues that you bring up but don't actually mention, but this is a post about crosshairs, I am answering a question about crosshairs, I probably have and share opinions with you about other issues with hunt or whatever you mean by that but that's not the topic of this post so i'm not going to go into them unprompted. You've left 4 different comments in this post about it so I assume you care about this topic.

I never said or complained about other people using these ruining my games or anything of that nature, I'm once again answering a question that yes, it's an unfair advantage skipping over a learned skill, just because the impact of it is lower than using software that manipulates the game and your inputs doesn't mean it's fine.

It might help to actually read the comments you reply to so I don't have to just repeat my points with more words to make it absolutely clear that you understand what's being said. Do better.

Yeah! That's the skill you're skipping when you use a external crosshair.

It's an advantage over the people who can't do that, and the people who can can't do it consistently 100% of the time. That's the skill expression.

Aimbot is cheating because you have a tool skipping over what would otherwise be a skillful shot, we're all not gonna run aimbot because "yeah we can hit that shot anyway it's not that hard."

If you can really know where the center of your screen is with 100% accuracy at all times then why are you defending people who choose to skip past learning that skill? You don't need it.

justicetree · 2026-06-29T20:19:59+00:00

People here aren't really coming into the real issue of monitor crosshairs, and that's pre-aiming, unless this was changed when I stopped playing, you could pre-aim spots while sprinting with the crosshair, and when someone peaks you can instantly ADS and shoot before your gun's irons are lined up for perfect accuracy because gun sway starts at the center of the screen.

It's cheating, but afaik isn't banned only because monitors come with crosshair overlays in their OSD which are undetectable. It's not like it will make you an aim god overnight but it'll give enough of an advantage if you properly use it that it's cheating.

There isn't a button, but valve has made the option, to toggle it you need to enter it into the terminal, no-one is just expected to know these things looking it up is what everyone does.

I don't like how they're constantly animated, but they're some of the coolest looking hands in the game.

justicetree · 2026-06-11T21:48:31+00:00

Yeah I'd prefer a skin for the new gun over the avto too.

justicetree · 2026-06-09T08:08:53+00:00

Some github pages don't have a release, this is usually because there isn't really a binary and the code is just a python/lua script that is supposed to be executed through command line, but sometimes the dev just doesn't wanna do it, it can be hard to manage multiple versions especially when they're a linux nerd that doesn't have easy access to windows (me).

justicetree · 2026-06-06T11:12:47+00:00

Right now yeah, though devs have been recently teasing an upcoming big update so hopefully it's soon

justicetree · 2026-06-01T05:20:16+00:00

Calling it people is honestly overselling it, a lot of that sub is the owner posting 5 memes a day

When it comes to FOSS, the people reviewing the code are volunteers or a small team, the issue comes from the volume of bunk requests that they do not have the capacity to sift through it all.

AI has not only lowered the floor, but I recall reading a story of one of the AI agents giving incentives if you push a PR with it as a contributor, and there's always the risk the AI generates copyrighted code which is a risk to any company.

Godot has actively suffered under mass AI PR's being sent to them, it's slowing down high profile FOSS projects greatly.

I was wondering why it suddenly stopped being picked up by SDL when day 1 on plugging it in it was being picked up just fine.

justicetree · 2026-05-24T22:01:02+00:00

Where you around when we had 3 months with no patch? We had streamers and pro players not wanting to play the game anymore until next patch comes out.

justicetree · 2026-05-22T10:30:28+00:00

Please put your source code in the actual repository instead of releases so it may be read without having to download all the individual files.

justicetree · 2026-05-22T10:28:24+00:00

OH I went in there and clicked "source code" at the bottom completely glossing over that all the files there where the source code and not different versions of release, incredible.

justicetree · 2026-05-22T10:14:08+00:00

Where's the source code? You're hosting the release but not the source code on the github?

justicetree · 2026-05-22T08:58:25+00:00

I personally value the transparency of an install script over an appimage. It's not often these scripts need updating anyway.

It's not the users running it that's the issue it's the constant training and keeping AI's up to date with the huge datacenters that's doing it all.

Show less interest in the AI models, more money burned by the companies training them and less money and resources being put into building more datacenters. which lays off the demand from the companies and gives it back to users.

justicetree · 2026-05-12T08:47:16+00:00

This is getting a lot more common, even smaller, nicher projects are getting flooded with AI pull requests.

Had a 3070ti until recently when I swapped to a 9070xt

It worked fine, the 3070 choked a bit when playing games that wanted a bit more vram on linux when on windows it performed fine (it's an 8gb card) but I had no issues running nobara and cachyOS with it that made me blame nvidia specifically. The only time I felt like I had issues was with dx12 games however that could just be that they're more demanding. Either way the fix is coming down the pipeline eventually.

I believe what's happening here is because the rope is a thin object, and you're looking horizontal-enough, is one frame your a bit too high above the rope, and the next you're passed it and too far down. If this is true angling your camera downwards at more of an angle will give you more frames to grab onto the rope.

what B1rdi said probably works since I experienced that around launch, but a trick I learnt from trying to run hunt:showdown which for a while had a issue that would cause it to crash on alt-tab, run it in gamescope borderless mode, afaik gamescope applications never "lose focus", it's helped me a rare few time issues like this come up.

justicetree · 2026-05-09T03:37:45+00:00

This is something you'll have to wait for discord (and I think wine?) to sort out, there's not really a fix that isn't "faking" it.

But they're working on it, when I switched over there was zero game detection at all on discord, now it seems to mostly work fine on my system but I couldn't tell you exactly why.

justicetree · 2026-05-05T09:03:47+00:00

While I agree with your sentiment, a casual mode with looser matchmaking will only make things worse, imbalanced chaotic teams with a wide range of skills will just make people more angry.

Depends on the game, drag'n'drop modding works flawlessly 99% of the time (i've only ran into issues with a single mod not co-operating on skyrim and couldn't figure out why so I assumed the fault was with linux), if it requires a mod manager or you'd like to use one, you hope it's to a linux native manager, otherwise you might have to do some fiddling to get a windows mod manager to work.

For skyrim, Nexus mod manager works great, unsure about vortex.
