Let’s be honest, after the last several Bethesda releases and the multiple interviews from multiple people on the dev team including The Lord Thy God Todd Howard that show a deep misunderstanding of why people liked their earlier games in the first place… Who is looking forward to TES 6 anymore?

There are released Skyrim mods better than anything Bethesda could come up with at this point.

Incorrect, it would detect it once, and then obfuscation is developed never again.

The cat and mouse game goes on, but now every single player is vulnerable to a history of malicious attacks they wouldn’t otherwise be.

The average person in the US and Canada think genocide is okay as long as it happens to someone else. They’re not really people anymore, they’re cautionary tales for surviving humans on how to prevent monsters from forming.

That’s a different threat vector, but was also eliminated in other games. RuneScape devs, let’s face it, are really stupid.

For auto clickers, and the like, just make sure whatever is happening is possible for a human to do, auto clickers are faster than humans so they’re easy to catch. If they’re using it to move, that’s a predictable thing that can be fixed by changing the terrain slightly like wow did to catch and ban a few million bots at a time.

Kernel anti cheat would not be effective against that vector anyway, as memory isn’t changed in most cases.

To your first point pseudorandom variations don’t actually change the method of detection or it’s effectiveness. Heuristic pattern matching as described will work until the movement and shots are no longer accurate enough or fast enough to matter.

To your second point, all anticheats do that. Kernel level anticheat looks at the running memory of all other programs. That’s the difference. It can detect and scan anything that is open on your machine. Got a Firefox tab open with your bank details? Kernel level anti cheat knows it. Running obs and streaming? Hope obs has active encryption for your stream key in memory, because the anti cheat can grab it otherwise.

If it just looked at the memory of the affected game literally no one would have a problem with it, that’s all anticheats.

Kernel level anticheat means you trust the entirety of your computer and everything running on it to at least the game publisher, if not an additional anticheat company.

I covered that, there is no real RNG. It will always be able to be programmatically detected over enough shots.

To your second part, yes, they will. They aim at the same point. Even if there’s variance in the points there won’t be enough variance in moving to the points that they’ll be able hide the unnatural movement.

That’s super easy. Aim hacks hit the same point. Record the event with the exact point aimed at to cause the guy (assuming hit scan system instead of projectile), and compare the last x number of hits. If the last x hits are all the same location(s), suspend or flag for human review depending on resources.

Alternatively, track last x seconds before the fire button was pressed, compare to last several shots.

Scripts do not behave like humans, they aim predictably. After x number of shots, you can always programmatically detect them.

No, not really. That’s the point. Kernel level anticheat has no real advantages and is easily bypassed. It’s the laziest possible solution that only detects and blocks the laziest possible implementations of cheats.

Good game design eliminates the possibility of cheating. Cheats are only ever possible if you take enough stupid and lazy shortcuts that it’s easy to take advantage.

Ksp2 was not an interactive piece of software when released, exclusively due to lack of funding and a lack of expertise caused by take twos decisions.

If they actually understood the product and understood what it would take to be produced, they would’ve had a game that the entirety of the ksp community would have bought. Instead they spent more on marketing and sound design than engine work.

Just to circle back to this now that I’m more sober,

It’s like being mean to customer service people of a bad company.

If you do this you should unironically be put in jail and stopped from having any form of communication device for the rest of your life. I can’t overstate how fucking pathetic and psychopathic this thought is.

So you’re fine with other oss projects kicking out Americans for their multiple genocided, right?

Sanctions like this don’t work to affect change, it’s cruelty for the sake of cruelty with no other plausible purpose. Citizens have practically no control of their government in any nuclear state, blaming them and punishing them for something wholly unrelated to them based on their country of origin or residence is literally in the definition of hate speech, and literally is a fascist activity.

Conservatives naturally have to be in a rightward spiral at all times. Nearly all conservatives will end up fascist, how fast they do so depends on how much of a rachet the centrist party acts as and how much that centrist party elimates left wing voices.

It doesn’t really work out as well when the country you’re sanctioning out produces yours in primary commodities. Russia has far too much precious metal for any monetary sanctions to work, that and the point of brics is to remove the Wests sanction ability

You posted three articles of of China using the US’s existing backdoors. This is why Intel was banned in China.

To your loaded question, because we do audits on hardware (no backdoor) and software (sometimes a backdoor, don’t use wechat).

We know the CCP isn’t going to backdoor hardware, and it’s really simple why not. Backdoors go both ways. Only the most ridiculously stupidly arrogant country would put in a backdoor assuming they’re the only ones that will ever be able to use it.

That’s not any of the accounts I’ve made, but if you’re getting called out for being racist that often maybe stop being racist. Seems like a chronic problem a lot of westerners and ameriboos have.
