But it will be cheap and fast. Just what the execs at EA want.

“we added more shit nobody will ever see!”

Isn’t the game’s universe randomly generated and had nearly infinite worlds since launch? 🤨

That’s a fun phrase to say out loud.

“AMD-powered NUKE”

Have you tried screaming and flexing really hard?

I hope someone Remedies this situation.

They didn’t give a single shit, either.

Just makes me think of Voidstar Labs. It sounds useless as a gimmick, it involves 3D printing, and it could turn an entire gaming device into wearable tech. Amazing.

Someone send this to Zack.

How often does a dude lagging that hard actually manage to hit the ball? Be real. They can’t even see what the fuck is actually going on, let alone use it to their advantage.

Have you ever actually played the game? Or any online game for that matter? If you have 30 ping and the dude you’re shooting has 150, you’re gonna have to shoot slightly behind what you see. As good as the net code is, there is still a slight difference between what the client sees and what the server sees. The interpolation they use is one of the reasons why you don’t see the other player where they actually are. It tries to guess where they will be to smooth out their motion instead of coming in bursts like an older game such as Quake would be, and it’s never quite perfect because there is literally a delay between what they do and when that information gets to the server, and then back to you. Knowing how much of a delay there is (IE the latency) actually is useful.

How it helps in knowing to lead or trail comes from knowing how much time delay to add or remove from the target so it actually counts as a hit. If I am low ping and my target is high ping, I’m gonna want to trail the target as they will be slightly behind where I am actually seeing them. If they have low ping and I have high ping, I need to aim a bit ahead of them because they are further along than what I see (though because it uses projectiles, I’d still have to lead a moving target).

It really depends on the kind of hit detection used. In totally client side hit detection, like Battlefield, as long as I can see them I can hit them by having my bullets hit what I see. But if the game is server side detection, like Counter-Strike, knowing everyone’s latency is a huge help.

It’s not exactly modern, and it also doesn’t even really matter much. You’re not trying to hit anyone (well, not most of the time anyway) and since everything is server side, you’d visually see who is lagging. Either you’re rubber banding, or the other players are. lol

fan girl screams 😍

I hope they like pictures of shirtless old men.

Question: Why is that illegal?

If, when playing a game or something, and someone says they “almost had me,” I am compelled to respond with “you never had me. You never had your car.”

That’s funny because the majority of Lemmy.World are people who left Reddit during the 3rd party app-ocolypse. Though I suppose many of them also saw Reddit becoming more and more pro-Nazi as time went on. The loss of the apps was just the kick in the pants needed to actually leave.

I choose to work nights when I can because I don’t have a life anyway and prefer nights to day. I also actually like mornings; I just don’t like waking up. Working nights allows me to enjoy the morning time, without having to deal with the 4 hours of feeling like shit (just how long it takes for me to feel energized after waking up) wasting the best time of day.

Also, a lot of places now offer a 10% increased pay differential if you work the night shift.

To be fair, Greek influences a lot of other languages. I had the thought the other day that if one were to learn Latin and Greek, they could probably do just fine in understanding a majority of other languages in use today since most of them derive so many of their words from those two languages.
