No, it's not morally equivalent, as one of these is very obviously unintentional and a result of simply living one's normal life, and the other is neither of those things. It's als…

Cars and gun ownership were not mandated by the government.

Perhaps "vaccine skeptics" say this because the Covid vaccines are not covered under VICP. They're covered under CICP, which is more stringent and has paid out one person $6 millio…

It's often part of the life if you're lifting competitively.

No idea what you're basing these thoughts on, but I don't think you understand the military or what makes it effective. The reasons grooming standards are enforced are the same rea…

Underreporting has been looked at in both military and the general population. Data is difficult to source and there are obvious methodological challenges on both sides. Conviction…

You're just frankly uninformed. Shaving waivers have been so abused it's a running joke in the army. It's still trivially easy to have a doctor get you a waiver.

Facial hair doesn't matter, you're just required to shave. Tattoos don't matter unless they're in a particular set of extremes. Marijuana also really doesn't matter, it's easily wa…

This is based on nothing. The raising of the recruitment age has nothing to with "desperation" (recruitment has been at a high) and everything to do with people living longer/healt…

This is exactly right. The goal is delivering a useful product to someone, which just requires secure enough, optimized enough, efficient enough code. Some see the security, optimi…

The reality of what exists today shows that the opposite is true. Pulling out a few games with less than 5000 players globally isn't remotely comparable to having hundreds of thous…

Yeah saw that after posting. Pretty tragic.

Don't forget that WB also managed to burn Christopher Nolan after over a decade and lost one of the best (and most profitable) directors to have ever lived. Personally I just hope …

Then I wish nothing but good fortune for you and the crew and hope the game continues forever!

It's clearly one significant measure. What do you think is going to happen to tournament money if every other tournament has a cheater? How many esports fans want to go play League…

Not sure how to understand these questions. Have you ever played in a competitive game of any type, virtual or real? A cheater isn't evenly matched against you. No one is good enou…

Do you work on community maps? Rust remains maybe the last true community game that's just solid all the way through where the studio is good to its players and doesn't patronize a…

I agree with you in sentiment and am very nostalgic for the pre-monoculture days, but I also acknowledge that competitive games are a multi-billion dollar industry, and trying to m…

What, 2000 players? 5000? Moderating that game is multiple orders of magnitude off of major titles. No Battlefield game is even in the top 100 of esports earnings.

More distributed and more manual. More administrative overhead. More localized culture we all get nostalgic for. Much more effort to play against peer competitors. It's the same ph…

I don't think they're saying cheating doesn't exist for the game, they're saying the popularity/incentive is too low to attract many cheaters compared to esports games.

This isn't the reason. The reason it's necessary is because players want to be able to play with/against other players around the world. Matchmaking requires some form of anti-chea…

I didn't downvote anything, and understand the point well.

Well that's really good to know. Been a happy user of Graphene since the Copperhead days. Thanks for all the work you do. I know you've endured a ton of shit.

This is a very counter-productive distortion of privacy, and borders on a lie about Graphene. Something designed to be private doesn't know the difference between a law enforcement…
