PS4 emulation has come a long way. I haven’t played fully through my copy, but I was going through it at 60fps through the first few areas with little to no issue. You may want to wait until all the kinks are out, but it’s pretty good as it is.

Thanks for the apology mate, but we don’t blame you. Cunts hail from every corner of the world, we just have to do better at handling them together.

Otherwise 100% spot on though.

Too big to fail?

It’s okay, I don’t think he can swim.

There’s also a me that’s really good at lying, no idea why, must be a coincidence

I suddenly feel very small, but also the load off my shoulders lifted.

Give it a week, fingers crossed.

Darn, maybe next time.

Might just be easier to spin up a VM of 98 at this point, good hunting to you though.

Probably? I have memories from over a decade back so

I seriously wonder how much brain damage I avoided by squeaking in my teenage years before the invention of smart phones.

I can’t help but feel like modern kids get hammered with reality way too quickly, not to mention whatever the fuck social media does to a growing brain. Growing up knowing the world is on fire, Nazis are back, and everyone hates you is not conducive to a person wanting to try especially hard to excel either.

My go to is “Ah yeah”, which could mean I’ve not considered it, but also dodges me venting the stress I’m feeling. It’s a win-win.

Hey mate good to see you, enjoy your fuckin stay.

Wait, he thinks Ukraine did this? I mean it kinda tracks that he can’t comprehend people hate his guts for other reasons. Dude is delusional.

Love it when the fucking around leads to finding out

They definitely can add anticheat to cooperative games, though again it feels a bit much.

I would say not to worry too much? The potential for abuse exists, but is not actually used. The companies that make the anti cheat software these days have way too much on the line to risk that kind of behaviour. It’s one of those things that it’s in a bit of a weird state, and some people like to keep an eye on it, but for the vast majority of cases is a minor inconvenience.

I always kinda want to eat the eggs in wingspan. I think they remind me of small sherbet pieces in texture and colour.

I’m being a bit vague here because where it is now is the result of decades of arms race between the cheaters and the developers, thus extremely complicated.

It’s a program that sits on your machine, and watches both the game in question, as well as other programs, to make sure there’s no funny business regarding the game.

It’s somewhat effective, though it comes at a cost. There is a noticeable performance cost on modern anticheat programs, meaning you’re losing performance for sometimes no tangible benefit.

Kernal level anti cheat programs are especially invasive, as they have deeper access to your operating system than would normally be allowed by any other program. This can be fine when used correctly, but if abused could be a massive privacy concern, or even a danger to your system. If you remember a little while back where every business windows computer went down for a day due to the crowdstrike antivirus, that’s a potential result of kernal level software going bad.

So somewhat necessary evil, and they do kind of work. I personally don’t love solutions that eat performance like this, and privacy is a concern of mine, but also I kinda get it.

I’m chiming in though I completely crashed and burned during my uni. I don’t do well with abstract consequences, the further they are from actually affecting me the less I can function. Once my mum kicked me out of the house I went from 0-100 real fast. Unfortunately seeing as I was made redundant a year ago but am comfortable financially, I have no incentive to do much lately. It’s a work in progress.
