Yeah, exactly.

We can’t. And if we could, I wouldn’t want to. Judge me however you like, I don’t want to live in a world where I have to kill others to survive. I’ll take death to that.

You’re going to heaven for this.

Di-Why

Yes because citizens who oppose their government equal their government. I’m just glad people are such clear headed thinkers on Lemmy. It’s a constant thing to lump huge numbers of people together who happen to have a birthplace in common

It reads as rage and accusatory. Doesn’t seem very understanding at all.

Thanks for letting everyone know you have nothing but contempt for any American

Why is he flying backwards?

I’m sure you would do something though. Because you implied you would on the Internet. No one is ever full of shit on the Internet. Or unearnedly critical of victims they can blame for their victimhood. Never. Nope.

I think that could be a great change! I don’t honestly know enough to think through all the implications, but it at least sounds like something that could work and may be more feasible moving forward. I don’t think the kernel level stuff can last forever regardless. Once that first horrific mistake happens and data is lost on millions of machines… they’re going to change approaches asap. Sadly it might take something like that to get it to happen though.

Ohh, wow. Yeah that is crazy. I get that reasoning, but I would agree it’s overkill to go ahead and give the controller a leg up! The only shooter I ever could stand on a controller was Halo and that was after a lot of practice (and not having a choice, playing against friends on their xboxes). Still kinda hated it in the back of mind lol

there has to be a way to solve this problem without kernel level anti cheat.

My understanding is that the solution is and always has been to write a good network subsystem for your game/engine. That’s not easy, so most developers would rather spend time on the gameplay and outsource the cheating concerns to the ultimate sledgehammer against cheating: full freaking kernel access. It’s honestly terrifying what could happen granting random companies that access, and it’s probably a miracle we haven’t seen a million users have their data leaked, deleted, corrupted, etc.

Yeah, I don’t doubt that. But it’s funny that the reason for it being preferred on console is that you don’t actually have to aim well lol. Making it, imo, a shitty shooter.

they’re focused on couch play

Right, exactly. It’s definitely possible for some games to be playable on console with mouse and keyboard, but given that it’s not the norm you definitely may have issues. A serious fps player likely would not want to switch to a console without some convincing.

Shooters are the best possible example of consoles not being ideal for certain games. Give me a keyboard and mouse and I’ll potentially beat the best shooter champion trying to struggle through playing an fps with a controller.

Hah gotcha. I mean over enough timespan what they want will happen (pretty sure anyhow) and it will be good. But it may take 10-15 years. But I understand how annoying people can sometimes be about ideas like this

people heavily pushing for everyone to SWITCH TO ARM RIGHT NOW!

That’s a thing? Not seen/heard that before. If people are saying literally everyone should switch and abandon the entire ecosystem of software, they are obviously idiots. If people are musing that they wish it could happen while preserving compatibility, they are reasonable and in the right. ARM CPUs use way less power and run cooler and that is good for everyone.

You might be right and I just haven’t seen that sentiment. People are often selfish and unreasonable, but in this particular case I’ve not seen it.
