Hey now. At least he is one of the people who regret voting for him, some of the others didn’t even do that.

That is kinda survivour bias though. Almost all old stuff didn’t last either.

That’s only proof that it will never be enough to stop all cheating. But if the metric is if it reduces cheating then that proves nothing. Not saying I have proof that it does reduce cheating but I would personally bet on it reducing it somewhat at least.

It only works in so far that it makes making cheats harder to create and easier to detect. But it will never fully eliminate or catch all cheats.

One of the reasons developers do not want to give you server binaries is that it makes it easier to create cheats that isn’t just wall hacks.

Sure. But that doesn’t mean Secure Boot didn’t make it harder to create a cheat or limit what kind of cheat they could create this quickly. The cheat was a wall hack one and that is one of the hardest to stop AFAIK.

The thing is that kind of solution only works on that kind of scale. If they get a false positive and ban someone that player can still play on other servers. If the developer gets a false positive and bans someone the player is shit out of luck…

Some of it the hate probably amplified by cheaters and cheat makers. Though to be fair anyone can be annoyed at having to go into their BIOS and change settings…

Wait… You’re only supposed to get one? Do I return the others somehow? Is there any support email or phone I can contact?

But IIRC the ones that allow Linux is basically crippling the anti cheat on the system. Apex Legends used to allow Linux but then stopped when too many cheaters started playing on Linux because it was easier to cheat there.

I mean there is arguments against creating test for everything but that definitely isn’t a good one…

I would claim it’s only a step in the right direction for someone if they will actually start doing something social. It’s not enough that there is more opportunity to if you never actually do it…

Not everyones ideal life is to at all times be alone.

To me this highlights that many single men have problems with loneliness.

Well they could also use it for trying to get what kind of sources the agency has… That and to be able to lean even more on to the far rights persecution complex…

Though I do hope you are more correct than me here…

I wasn’t trying to say you can’t do remote development what I was trying to say was it’s not a good way for the whole industry. That and pointing out drawbacks of full remote.

The fact that you have such strict separation between programmers and designers leads me to believe your company hires a lot of people they don’t need to do jobs in a poor manner. I have very little respect for people who ‘design’ but can’t create.

This is the weirdest take I’ve read in a while… Thinking designers doesn’t create anything is just so wrong… And I’m not just talking about creating designs but also creating prototypes using components and e.g. unreal blueprints… Let’s not forget about taking the time to properly tweak values and all that…

I’m not going to share what games I’ve worked on as I like to have at least a faint divide between my online persona and real life one.

As a gameplay programmer I fully disagree. Just the ability to quickly ask a designer near you for clarifications or to if modifying the design slightly to save on time is worth soo much.

Asking over slack just isn’t the same as it adds more friction, takes longer, and makes it easier for misunderstandings to sneak in.

To be fair though it can be worth sometimes working from home to give you less distractions if you need some full focus time… And other jobs in the industry does gain a lot more from being fully remote…

There is also the angle of generated CSAM looking real adding difficulty in prosecuting real CSAM producers.

Machine learning and LLMs isn’t the only way to do AI though. (though your second point I do kinda agree with)
