my main is @solidsanek btw

There aren’t more than like 10 people on fedi. The rest is just bots. Watch me post this from my other accounts

hi @pixel!

@sirlan

it’s not enough

with even slightly subpar network conditions, you have to provide more data than what is shown to the player

if there’s something worse than the occasional cheater in matches is the game being barely playable because of player models suddenly popping in when you get a lag spike

collecting server-side data to detect cheats is what valve has been doing for many years, but doesn’t appear to be enough to detect the more subtle cheats that aren’t blatant spinbotting

sometimes even top players use them to get an edge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDUdGvgmKIw

player reports are awfully inaccurate: you ever get accused of cheating when you’re winning a competitive match?

votekicking has the same bias of player reports, plus enables mob justice; it might work in small and tight communities like tf2 servers because people know each other and how to play, but it’s not really an option with randoms, as you could see in cs:go

tl;dr it’s not the trivial problem it seems in first place…

i get why companies take that approach, but i’d personally rather not play competitively rather than install a kernel level anticheat

@sirlan

i refuse to play games with kernel anti-cheat, but the chat analogy isn’t very appropriate imo

in chats you’re fine if a message arrives 500ms later

in games you need to get the message delivered in 17ms

what if the players have more than 17ms of ping? you have to take some shortcuts somewhere

@puppygirlhornypost2 @kaia

…there are multiple?!? :neocat_scream_scared:

@solidsanek

no stream, no live car reaction

@rini @ipg

the same is paralleled for react tbh

what other alternatives do we have for writing websites that allow you to be as efficient as when writing react?

@solidsanek

as it should
