Raise your hand if you've never cheated in a game. 🫣

I don't judge – unless you're doing it to get an unfair advantage over someone else (multiplayer, beating highscores), that is.

Cheat codes aren't my thing, but I make frequent use of emulator savestates to balance fun and difficulty. Technically, that's cheating.

And I may have made use of walkthroughs for point-and-click adventures back in the day. I might still have those printouts.

@hisold OFC #Cheats are a way to learn how to "#hack" as in "What if I change the value at this address?"

And I still do recommend anyone interested in #IT and espechally #ITsec to build themselves their own #airgapped #HomeLab to "#FuckAroundAndFindOut!" safely within.

  • Kinda like a "Dojo" (something that costs $$ per hour in terms of a "remote lab" to even be given access in)...

And with #AntiP2W becoming mainstream as well as Players despising #P2W / #PayToWin / #Pay2Win (aka. #P2L / #PayToLoose / #Pay2Loose) as well as literal #gambling on some #Minecraft servers, I don't blame Kids that feel shafted (harder than #Millenials like myself back in the days of #HabboHotel) if they decide to fuck with servers rather than scamming other players

Price discrimination in the online booking industry. Where you book your hotel from matters.

"Public Hotel in Greenwich Village — a hotel that consistently came up high in search results to our test consumers. San Franciscans browsing on Expedia were quoted $829 a night for a room during Valentine’s Day weekend — while the Phoenix and Kansas City addresses were quoted at $318 a night for the same room. "

Its time for a #VPN #travel #cheats

#segundaficha o Age of Empire 2 tinha uns codigos pra invocar unidades malucas, e sempre com umas mensagens engraçadas. Por exemplo, se você digitasse "how do i turn this on" na caixa no chat, um carro esporte (Shelby Cobra) aparecia no mapa pra aterrorizar os aldeões inimigos com metralhadoras. "furious the monkey boy" trazia um macaco super forte, e "woof woof" transforma os falcões em cachorros voadores, com capa e tudo.

A edição HD também trouxe umas doideras, como digitar "i don't exist" invoca um penguin, e "alpaca simulator" faz aparecer "Alfred the Alpaca" - literalmente uma alpaca usando uma coroa, que faz comentários engraçados com uma voz super grossa quando é selecionado.

All these issues could be solved, but it would require substantial development efforts from the EAC team to bring their Linux support up to par with the Windows version. Even if they did that, it would lead to a much more invasive anti cheat software which would most likely not be received well with Linux users.

For now, it seems that simply blocking Linux is the cheaper solution.

Further, Easy Anti Cheat was of no concern to Linux cheaters. Since EAC doesn't run as root, it's easy to hide a cheat process using existing features of the Linux kernel. On top of that, hardware IDs are trivial to spoof on Linux using udev rules. Spoofing is also possible on Windows, but is much more difficult and breaks certain OS features.

So, I went to a forum for cheats, and it's not looking good for Linux gaming. Apex Legends really did have a Linux cheater problem.

The vast majority of cheats offered were for Linux. In fact, I had trouble finding a Windows cheat. On top of that, the cheats for Apex Legends were more featureful than those for similar games only available on Windows.
