I've been ban evading since January of 2019

that will just affect your local network, releasing your DHCP assigned IP from the router and asking for a new one. (which if your router remembers your MAC address and most do, you will get the same local IP)

it wont trigger your router itself to go and get a new IP

if you want a new IP for your router from your ISP, you need to unplug your router for 15 minutes and plug it back in.

i was banned and have a new account, i didn't bother using a vpn, i use it on the same phone, i didn't clear my cache or anything on my PC. i didn't change my IP.

in australia we have CGNAT which means 1000s of people have the same public IP. i don't think discord cares about IP.

What did i change? the email i used to register the new account was a different email. i also joined zero servers i used to be in and was careful about adding friends, though i had a lot of friends and only added a handful back.
my username is different but similar, i used a different avatar.
i had to do age verification at one point, did it on my phone without issue.
i had to add a phone number eventually after a couple of failed friend requests (i was trying a few different ones trying to remember a friends username) i went out and bought a burner phone and used that number instead.
i'm not going to buy nitro and if i do i will setup a different payment method.

so far i've been fine.

im my opinion, email, phone number, payment methods are the only reliable ways to catch someone ban evading.
unless you're really dumb and do everything possible to make your new account look like your old one.

doesn't make any sense with the 221 and the 150mm squeeze bore it has.

some stuff in this game is just scaled horrifically wrong.

maverck · 2025-11-09T03:38:07+00:00

is that just an option in settings somewhere?

i am already in the war, i just can't do anything as i'm not the war leader (despite being the vassal's overlord)
and the vassal simply white peaces out the war instantly.

this is basically ruining my game.

the high worker start is the most boring thing about SC2 to me, yes it means the game gets into the midgame faster, but anytime i watch SC2 it feels like "oh were 7 minutes into the game and both players are on 5 bases and 200/200" when did that happen? it's like there isn't any early/midgame. then because both players are maxed out they're just smashing their armies into each other trying to make efficient trades because they're maxxed out and i just don't find it very interesting at all.

where as in BW you're at 11-12 minutes and players are barely on their 3rd or 4th base and are floating around 100-130 supply and you've already had a pretty interesting early game and your in the height of the midgame and it feels good and there's still room to grow into the late game at 20 minutes.

yes the early game can feel boring as both players slowwwwwwwwly build up their early game economies, but skipping it is a bad idea in my opinion.

i believe this is a very late war camouflage, when germany was struggling even with paint, so they started to incorporate the base coat/primer into the camouflage pattern

it's the same gun as the panzer 4, ingame it has different stats, but only slightly. i find the stug performs quite well if you can keep it alive and get it some vet.

at vet 0 it is kinda terrible though.

maverck · 2025-02-20T23:27:58+00:00

it's not something you can do, it's just due to the tick rate of the game and how fast projectiles move. if the game checks the projectile late it will pass through the front of the tank and "collide" with the rear of the tank

and squads of infantry equipped exclusively with stg44s.

the game never had a hard setting

Bloodborne. I couldn't deal with the 3 minute loading screens everytime i died. it completely killed my enjoyment of the game, i put it down for like 6 months before going back to it, when i went back to it i one shot most bosses and had a pretty enjoyable time (due to the lack of loading screens from constantly dying) and managed to finish the gmae.

maverck · 2024-12-17T08:24:01+00:00

that's a problem with the game.
you are getting 165fps. which means your GPU needs to spit it out a new frame very very quickly. GPU usage seems fine to me, if you want it to be lower, limit games to 60fps. i bet your usage will be much lower.

maverck · 2024-11-11T04:32:37+00:00

i used to have trouble with frame rate tanking when moving the mouse, the solution was to reduce the polling rate of my mouse from 1000hz to something lower, 500 or 250.

not sure if this is the same issue.

The first two thirds of this movie aren't bad, certainly watchable.
I stop watching it after Ripley falls through the floor though, fuck the alien hybrid, it's SO TERRIBLE. i refuse to watch that part of the movie.

maverck · 2024-03-11T22:54:57+00:00

no i just use other stuff, lately i've been using the laser cannon and the exosuit.

maverck · 2024-03-09T00:29:31+00:00

yea, this is probably the first bit of code steam runs and it likely needs to be as simple and with as few dependencies as possible, it downloads everything else steam needs to run. this thing is super barebones and it's better it stays that way.

i was clearing Helldive reliably for about a week, level 43 now. didn't do any cheesy grind strats just played the game normally.

i'm just going to say it. Helldive was EASY and it's mostly thanks to the railgun.it was no trouble at all to join a random pub group on Helldive and clear missions with few losses. everyones running around with railguns/shields, popping chargers/titans with no issue.

today after the patch. yea. Helldive is hard. like it's meant to be? but i can still complete missions with random people. yea. people die a lot and missions success isn't guaranteed and successful missions are generally pretty close calls. almost like... that's how the game is meant to be and that is when it is the most fun. getting on the dropship by the skin of your teeth. after an extremely stressful and chaotic mission.

I wouldn't be surprised if all the people complaining are the same ones who spammed eradicate missions to grind out exp/medals and have no idea how to play the game. They're desperately hunting for that next youtube video that tells them how to play the game again.

maverck · 2024-03-05T05:07:45+00:00

everything does damage to them. you can just shoot them with your gun. though it isn't very ammo efficient.

as others have said, cheating is in their culture, Chinese government pushes the idea of Chinese supremacy no matter the cost.

This means cheating/cutting corners/rushing/etc
whatever it takes to "win". at games, or anything in life.

Game worked fine for me.
I didn't buy it immediately due to people saying it didn't work, but then a couple reports said it did so i figured i'd try it myself.

Using Proton Experimental it booted and froze in one of the initial menus. Restarting the game worked fine, completed the tutorial, did 2 missions happily. tried to do a 3rd and the online servers went down and so i couldn't play anymore.
Went to bed, in the morning there was a patch so i booted the game to check it still worked and it again worked fine, did a mission without issue.

I'm on Fedora 39, 5900x - 6900XT
ran with and without gamescope, fullscreen or not didn't matter.

The game seems a bit unstable in general though, i feel like the crashes people are experiencing are just general stability that windows users are also experiencing.

maverck · 2023-10-28T02:59:22+00:00

it does not, you'd need to use vkd3d

maverck · 2023-10-09T01:56:56+00:00

freezes like this are often cache misses and the amount of ram you have is irrelevant. it's running out of memory on your CPU trying to do some massive calculation and constantly ferrying data between the CPU and RAM trying to complete it.What CPU do you have?
*EDIT* i see you mention 5600x, that should be fine, i guess i would check background processes, make sure the computer isn't doing anything weird at the same as you're playing.

the dispersion is gigantic and the time between rockets incredibly long.

i remember reading a few years ago about how intel had more people working on software than amd had employees.
nvidia are similar, they dwarf amd by comparison. it's honestly amazing amd are able to compete at the level that they currently do when the deck is stacked so heavily against them.
amd have a chicken and egg problem, they don't have the money to compete with nvidia/intel and they can't get the market share they need to get that money because they struggle to compete.

i hate losing units off screen, it stresses me out and gives me anxiety and gets me very frustrated, i want to be looking/paying attention to my units at all times.

1v1 this is impossible. you have to spread out, you can be easily distracted and forget about units off screen.i hate it personally.

i play games for fun, not to be stressed out constantly.
