And that’s why you never use floating point arithmetic in finance.

Holy shit, that’s like curl | sudo bash on steroids. Fucking hilarious.

The problem is not the high-level solution. If the anti-cheat does what they claim – great.

If.

The problem is that EACv2 itself is unverified machine code running with elevated privileges. Unless the source code is released, it will be impossible to know what kinds of shenanigans it engages in. It demands that users trust it implicitly, along with the people and clankers that wrote it, the mistakes they made, and the people and interests they are beholden to.

Trust should be earned, and the fact that people have been indoctrinated to give it away freely should be deeply concerning to everyone.

Since your last post here, a new rule has been introduced. You must disclose AI usage in both the title and in the post body.

Hmmm… do I want to run unverified code in my kernel from the “Programming is too hard!” guys?

The first game I ever paid for, but did not directly purchase, was Garry’s Mod in 2011 or 2012 after UndeadPatch stopped working. I didn’t have a bank account, so I paid a classmate in cash to gift it to me. Considering that I first learned programming through Wiremod’s Expression 2 chip (basically a virtual ESP32), leading directly to my computer science studies and my current job as a sysadmin, I’d say it was $10 well spent.

My first purchase on Steam was “The Classic”, a sniper rifle in TF2, just to remove my account’s F2P trading restriction.

Then I got a whole bunch of games through Humble Bundle’s subscription. The first one was December of 2018, specifically for MGSV.

The first game I ever actually bought, actually on Steam, was Slay The Spire.
