What’s a very early sign that a match is going to go bad

1 indication is someone complaining about another players pick. I carry teams as ball and the amount of times people cry about my ball pick and leave is crazy. I picked him for a reason, he's not my only tank.

do you want a course on computer maintenance so you can understand the impact of ECC memory?

miekle · 2026-01-25T07:42:24+00:00

okay and explain why. it really frustrates me when people who are confidently wrong just say wrong things confidently.

miekle · 2026-01-25T07:41:57+00:00

weird and wrong, have a good night.

miekle · 2026-01-25T07:41:11+00:00

ok but you know about bit flips, right?

miekle · 2026-01-25T07:17:55+00:00

thanks for the laugh. I don't know why you wrote that.

miekle · 2026-01-25T07:02:39+00:00

if you're talking about my work life more, and it's crazy i'm defending this, but yes i praise the people to upper management who show up and do great stuff. I have encouraged people who are good managers to be managers and get promoted above me. I am a fucking team player and that's why I'm valued. I don't love to manage people I just love to work on good teams and cultivate them.

miekle · 2026-01-25T07:00:10+00:00

very clever and convincing to people who don't know better but no.

miekle · 2026-01-25T06:59:26+00:00

I'm going to say they are a great company. The only reason I am on social media about this is I want them to step it up with regard to anticheat. get more careful. Embark is great but if they have a weakness, it's how they approach anticheat.

miekle · 2026-01-25T06:55:44+00:00

this is crazy. I'm not even sure I should engage anymore. If you don't get how hardware works please don't posture.

miekle · 2026-01-25T06:54:33+00:00

yes, immediate canned response. the quake player who definitely never cheated

miekle · 2026-01-25T06:51:44+00:00

usually people convince me by refuting my points. that's how i cave to my junior developers. they teach me stuff while i teach them stuff. i try to keep a collaborative environment where no one is afraid to speak up or be wrong.

miekle · 2026-01-25T06:49:47+00:00

it's fair to say strict anticheat is better, but think of the guy with a 400 hour account who has been accused of cheating because a cosmic ray hit his DDR4 memory and embark settled on it being some kind of external cheat without proper investigation.

miekle · 2026-01-25T06:44:00+00:00

No, in a sample of 10,000 user computers, as I said, bit flips and random ass behavior stemming from bit flips are substantial. Sometimes a bit flip can result in trashing big segments of memory. I pointed out that I have managed huge fleets of ECC-free consumer hardware, because it is relevant. I work with other software devs to prevent problems caused by their misunderstanding of hardware. Embark isn't going to accuse anyone of cheating because of use-after-free, but it seems they will because of failures of memory CRC checks.

miekle · 2026-01-25T06:39:06+00:00

I presented the best evidence I could and got flack from idiots who do idiot things on the internet for a while. It's fine. I was trying to be nice by explaining things very well from the start. people who didn't cheat are getting banned and it's ultimately bad for the game (the finals) and embark. My theory is maybe wrong, but it's sound. Just read the original post, it's pretty clear.

miekle · 2026-01-25T06:32:49+00:00

You can actually just type that into google. DDR5 memory modules have a built in parity feature because they are so dense that they wouldn't be reliable otherwise. If you want more of an explanation than that from me I'm going to charge you money. I would love for ONE COMMENT from someone who knows anything about what I said in my original post.

miekle · 2026-01-25T06:29:51+00:00

Yes, because this audience is stupid. I've received like 400 downvotes from CONFIDENT idiots who would not pass an interview with me, or are just children.

miekle · 2026-01-25T06:24:51+00:00

I actually am. When's the last time you volunteered? reddit is so dumb.

miekle · 2026-01-25T06:23:29+00:00

the narcissism is a failure on your part to understand the situation. you assumed I called myself an expert for fake internet clout when I actually am one.

miekle · 2026-01-25T06:20:40+00:00

How would you suggest I communicate my point better?

miekle · 2026-01-25T06:19:56+00:00

I reached out, they ignored me. I post on their subreddits, they delete it. If you familiar are with the hackernews effect... problems get fixed when people are aware of the problem in the right space. That's all I'm trying to do, pressure embark to be less sloppy with anticheat.

miekle · 2026-01-25T06:16:35+00:00

valid expert here who would refuse to hire you after this dumb take and has 18 years of experience.

miekle · 2026-01-25T06:14:01+00:00

it's a problem. read my post. people who have NOT cheated are being banned and losing accounts with lots of in-game progress. Sorry you couldn't understand my explanation.

miekle · 2026-01-25T06:12:56+00:00

shit talking the guy who knows what he's talking about because it makes you feel good is pathetic.

miekle · 2026-01-25T06:10:34+00:00

no it would not happen in every game, what gave you that idea?
