  • This isn’t an introvert thing though. I’m the champion of introversion and can make it through a phone call no problem. Don’t ask me to call someone I don’t know though. But my point is, this is some form of anxiety. It may be more prevalent in introverts, that’s probably why we can bond over it. But its not an introvert thing to be scared of phone calls, its something else.




    1. Covered on steam with game bans, which can be handed by server admins
    2. Would be nice to see ngl. Whats not humanly possible should result in a game ban.
    3. Covered on steam by VAC, automated system checking for cheat signatures in user memory space
    4. Hard to do and not realistically feasible for the majority of people, screen capture with per pixel analysis tools would still work but thats not that big of an issue
    5. VAC and game bans also ban you from community features including trading your inventory, afaik you phone number and all accounts associated with it are banned


  • Its used in a lot of places. I’d say its about as essential as FTP, maybe a bit less. Take of that as you will.
    I’m thinking of other problems BT could help solve, but I can’t think of any. Maybe decentralized syncing of data across a global CDN network?
    Would be great if we could utilize it for video sharing since bandwidth is always a problem there, but its not really designed for it. Though I think there’s a lot of things we could solve with p2p, bittorrent may not be the correct protocol to use. A decentralized p2p marketplace was mentioned a few years back, but I can’t recall any detail or even name now…




  • Imo, this test is flawed and doesn’t take display refresh rate into account. Well, at least flawed in the sense that you can’t compare it to other people because they may have measured it differently on different hardware. Its not universal.
    I’m at work right now and using this shitty screen at 60hz, I got 230ms. I upped the refresh rate as fast as it can go, to 75hz and improved my reaction time to 200ms.
    To get accurate results, you’d need to do this test at different stages of your life on the same hardware with the same software version of the test. So take it with some salt.




  • My first PlayStation was the PS3, I had Nintendo consoles and was used to Xbox by that time. First game I played on PS3 was heavy rain. A game heavily littered with QTE’s. Big mistake. I was looking at the controller half the time figuring out which button to press, missed half of them. I’m sure it came natural to some, but my muscle memory learned on ABXY… So its generally me preferred way to play.
