link is to a tom scott video about this game.

So all that developers need to do is… have a linux version.

To repeat something I sort of said in response to someone else: If a publisher is scummy enough to have kernel-level anticheat in their game, they’re not going to give up kernel access just to appease a tiny minority of gamers.

Take Valorant for example. The one thing I know about Valorant is that cheats for Tarkov don’t work if Valorant is installed on your pc. This tells me that Valorant’s anticheat is doing things at all times, even when the game isn’t running, and I’m not ok with that.

Personally, I recommend just not playing those games. I’ve been having a great time with warframe and factorio. If I really feel the urge for a competitive arena shooter, I’ll boot up unreal tournament classic and play against bots. For those who don’t like my choices, there’s tons of other options. I digress.

In order for OP’s ask to actually be fullfilled in the manner I interpret to be desired, kernel-level anticheat needs to die alltogether. I see 2 ways for this to happen, neither of which are likely: A) Microsoft secures the windows kernel so that it can’t be modified, thus forcing standard practice to change. B) Linux overtakes windows as the dominant pc OS, thus forcing standard practice to change.

Can i not bitch about how shit things have been? Or that these fixes shouldn’t even be necessary because they could have just not fucked it up in the first place?

Does nothing for existing cables.

i just didn’t want to say 25 years ago and have someone ‘um akshuly’ me about when emulation started getting viable.

If you’re looking for a label, I recommend not. Soon after you pick one, the definition for that label will change and no longer fit your ideology. This change might be due to your own understanding improving, or due to societal shifts, or both.

Write out your ideology in long form. People tend to support good ideas when not attached to politically charged labels.

Anticheats on Linux don’t have kernel access

Yeah, I know. I’d like it to stay that way. Furthermore, this is also why games with kernel-level anticheat still don’t work on linux, despite developments in wine/proton.

The post is about anticheat that doesn’t work on linux. Non-kernel-level anticheat works fine now thanks to wine/proton. That just leaves kernel-level anticheat. If a game has kernel-level anticheat, the studio is not going to remove it for the sake of a linux version. Therefore, to be compatible with linux, they would be introducing kernel-level anticheat into a linux version. To this, I say “fuck no”.

As someone who kinda liked morrowind, and was disappointed with oblivion, skyrim just fell flat for me. The engine got better, but there just was less and less substance to it each game. Ignoring the content, just the base mechanics were stripped down to almost nothing.

I’ve got a friend who is experiencing oblivion for the first time after years and hundreds of hours of skyrim. They’re becoming increasingly upset at skyrim the more they learn about what was in oblivion but was removed.

I had no issue emulating n64 games on my piece of shit machine almost 20 years ago. What even is this?

No. It’s a video game. Publishers have no business being in my kernel.

I’m not expecting different results, but that would be a pleasant surprise.

My hope is that they’ll be too busy fighting amongst themselves for the next four years to dismantle democracy in any meaningful way, and that then we’ll actually have elections again.

The important part is that it is her choice to do so or not. My suggestion is just one possible solution that could be used by those who choose to do so. I’m not pretending that it’s the only solution, nor am I pretending that it’s even the best solution.

If a woman is committed to the idea, she could break the patrilineal naming convention simply by creating herself a new last name, and encouraging her children to take that name instead of their father’s.

in my friend group we have a guy we describe as “default {name}”, in order to differentiate him from the other {name}s in the group. He’s a cisgender heterosexual white christian male (a rarity among us). Mostly it’s a joke, because we all agree that being mildly offensive is kinda funny, but it’s also a commentary on society at large. If you’re online talking to people you know nothing about, it’s a safe assumption (christian less and less as the years go by though).

It is absolutely ok to not be “default settings”. You’re not doing anything wrong by not confirming to that standard. I didn’t decide what default is, I learned it by observing society.

Warframe. trying to get my noob friend up to current content so we can experience 1999 together.

wasn’t banning tiktok trump’s idea to begin with?

self preservation isn’t a selfless motive, but if it results in philanthropy then that’s a win.
