I mean if you’re mechanically talented enough and sufficiently motivated, you could probably rip out the digital controls and replace them with mechanical analogs, getting rid of the computer entirely. Extremely difficult, but probably doable if you know what you’re doing.

That aside, we shouldn’t have to do that to get out of being spied on.

I spat out a bunch of fur afterwards.

When I was 6, I bit my rabbit in retaliation after he bit me, does that count?

Yeah, due to the nonexistant moderation TF2 voice chat tends to be the most intolerant thing I’ve ever heard in my life.

I came here to post this, but you beat me to it.

I don’t disagree with you, but counterpoint: Have you seen the marksmanship of the average cop? During the acorn incident, both cops discharged their service weapon’s entire magazine at the guy that they had handcuffed in the back of their police cruiser and didn’t manage to hit him a single time. That’s 24 rounds (i assume) that they shot at a stationary, human-sized target at relatively close range and missed every single time. I had better accuracy then that when I was 10 with my pellet gun.

Finally I get to use this

Oh yeah you’re right, here it is. 🏆

If lemmy gold was a thing, I would award it to this comment.

I honestly didn’t like factorio, which is odd because I’m pretty much the exact target audience (autistic). I bought it after buying Mindustry, played it for about 20 hours and then put it down and didn’t pick it back up again because I realized that it just felt like work. I think the reason I didn’t like it was that you spent 5 minutes coming up with a solution to some problem, and then spend 50 minutes implementing it, which bogs down the gameplay with monotonous block-placing.

Gordon Freeman 2028?

Hahaha, how bad does your anticheat have to be that it bans people who haven’t even played the game yet? Or maybe its so good that it bans people BEFORE they cheat. “Good news, we dropped the cheating rate to 0%! We only had to ban the entire playerbase to do it!”

Yeah, and we can’t give them that because trousers are a zero-sum game and if women wear trousers, then there won’t be enough trousers to go around!

Anything sensitive is encrypted and I never decrypt it while running windows.

I bought Sea of Thieves about 5 years ago. Recently, they added kernal-level anticheat (which does precisely fuck-all to actually stop cheating). While that is annoying, I’m not particularly worried because the studio that makes that game is owned by Microsoft, and like all Microsoft products, it was banished to my windows partition with the rest of the spyware.

I call him the cheeto, or CHEAT-O.

Illinois Nazis

Illinoizis?

An ancient internet relic from days gone by. Next time I have access to a color printer, I’m putting this on my shelf.

I came across a video on youtube from a major pro-business media outlet calling road diets a ‘socialist ideal’ and saying that the ‘liberals are trying to take away our cars’. The comments were equally unhinged.

Because the gun nuts usually know enough about how firearms work to just make their own guns.
