Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Basically Homeless is an absolute treasure. The gas powered PC (and followup) are a personal favourite but all his build videos and his Stupid Setups are absolute gold. Using a printer as a monitor was another highlight.

Lol at first I thought "no way am I watching a 17 minute video about this." But I was wrong. Captivating and hilarious the whole way through.

I imagine there would still be tons of cheaters even if it caused them physical pain every time they cheated, lol. What a great, brilliant, stupid idea for a video that masterfully weaved in his sponsor.

Love his videos

Heavy training. Feeling the burn

This is like a Michael reeves level masterpiece

A cheater lol

Kernel level anti-cheats don't appear to work any better than other anti-cheats. Hell, I can't think of any 3rd party anti-cheat framework that everyond and their brother seems to license out that actually stops cheating to a significant degree. All the games I've ever played where it is rare to see a cheater in, if at all, all use in-house solutions.

That's awesome 🤣 definitely PED-like cheating though.

[–] PixelatedSaturn@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Just awesome!

Strange how the sponsor is an electronics store whose "experts" built most of the custom HW but solid-state switching, which is obviously faster than mechanical relays, only gets an off-hand mention at the very end.

As amazing as Microcenter is, they're largely a consumer electronics store, not really component level like RadioShack used to be

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

He's still using a cheat in addition to detect player models lol

I pick the raspberries
