Completely possible anon was a creep and she felt uncomfortable saying no.

There were a good few game shows with that theme.

I’ve noticed with my kids it’s more about streamers. They all know them by name. They’ll talk about their latest videos like we would with TV show episodes.

Many shows when we were kids were just drivers for toy sales though. Product placement was also huge and unregulated.

Yeah for sure. Used to be absolutely critical back when things like java in websites was a thing haha

If you’re trying to save as many games as possible and the vast majority are on windows it completely does.

The problem is it’s a tiny fraction of games and users. It’s a lot of resources for little gain.

Indeed. But everyone has different levels of ability. Again mental health can drastically increase this difference.

My advice for dealing with this is using yourself as the measuring stick. Are you better than you were a year ago? Etc.

Aim to beat your personal best and that’s still good progress.

Then they clearly aren’t attainable are they? You feel they should be but the evidence says they aren’t.

Semi auto properties and params collection are long overdue. Great to see them in there.

System.Text.Json respecting nullability is also great. But may break some things if you didn’t realise you were relying on the old behaviour.

LoggerMessage source gen using primary constructors fixes a minor pain.

EF generating SQL at compile time is also pretty sweet. Better query performance from precompiled and better startup performance from not having to precompile at runtime.

All in all it looks pretty good.

A big problem is that it’s just text. In real life tone and body language go a huge way to determining how someone means to make you feel.

If someone is disagreeing with you in real life it’s much easier to tell if they just have a different opinion and respect yours or are being a dick.

Often when someone comes across really rude it’s meant in a half joking way which again would be easy to tell in an actual conversation.

These misunderstandings lead to things heating up real quick.

You basically have to change how you calculate your worth.

You are the one who set the standards that you are failing to meet.

People with depression often fall into this trap. You set a standard you can’t possibly reach and then get upset you aren’t reaching said impossible standard.

When I get thoughts like this i try to look past my thoughts and feelings and look at the evidence.

Is your son happy? Have they done anything that leads you to believe they feel let down? Etc.

Because it sounds like the only thing making him unhappy is you being unhappy.

Kids generally just want attention and love more than anything. Things are nice but they are no substitute.

Because you aren’t a 6 year old and have to use your big boy words in the adult world.

Orks and humans had no multi select 🙃 apparently they’re adding that in though which might make it playable.

Every time I create a new repo haha I usually just delete the runs and squash the commits so it looks like I got it first time.

Not back peddling you are misunderstanding what kernel access means.

You don’t need kernel level access (the thing we are literally discussing) to kill processes. Which was literally your example.

Obviously the OS handles it. How the fuck else would it work?

It is literally installed by choice. It’s part of the game installation. It’s up to users to know what they are installing. Many games likely install lots of things that aren’t immediately obvious.

It doesn’t infiltrate the system.

Pretty much all code is making requests to the kernel. That isn’t what is happening here.

It’s side stepping the kernel. That’s the whole point. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Nah words have meaning. I get you don’t like it but that doesn’t make it spyware or malware.

Spyware isn’t about watching your system or memory it’s about stealing personal information.

These anti cheats specifically comply with privacy laws or they wouldn’t be allowed. You won’t find any breaking any laws.

Anti virus and anti malware applications do the same. Doesn’t make them spyware.

Yeah literally. This is just a setup issue.
