Eve online? In game Trolling/scamming is allowed and a completely valid gameplay, profit generating activity. The game is open ended so personality conflict and consensual/non-consensual PVP are the main activity drivers in the game.

Creating a python script to watch your screen and report intelligence to a third party out of game/recon tool? Probably completely within EULA and useful.

Creating a script that interacts with the client in any way (mouse clicks, packet sniffing etc.) is against Eula and will get you banned (considered cheating)

It’s a really unique game, worth a try. Nothing like it, not for everyone though. If you try it, try to spend no more than a week on your own in it. Then seek out other player groups in the game. It’s truly difficult to get by on your own in that game - and actually quite boring without the social aspect.

Well that’s a bummer. I believe it.

I’ve used some of these features when I’m trying to skim many articles for my grad school work. It’s not terrible.

There is a use case for this stuff. Especially in a search engine.

Short of hosting your own LLM, Kagi is one of the few I’d hope can get it right and respect privacy. (So far unverified on the AI side tho)

Ok, awesome for the programming practice/proof of concept but for gaming, I never understood the idea behind cheating.

Takes out half the fun of playing the game. You enjoy trolling people and harvesting the salt? Either get better or find a game that includes it as part of its core gameplay (ie eve online)

I’d agree with this, thanks for chiming in!

Adobe is… kind of evil? He made the world a better place? Maybe at first.

I think that was the joke?

It’s probably irresponsible of me, but now that I’m older and have expendable income - I will buy games, (usually on sale but sometimes at full price) to support the Devs of games I like. (Provided initial reviews are positive and the game is in a decent state, not riddled with micro-trans ect.)

Even if I don’t have the time to play it. I know I could get some games cheaper if I buy them later but I think the initial sales numbers are a big factor in whether or not certain franchises get continued funding.

On an unrelated note, who is sitting on lemmy.games? We need a gaming dedicated instance. I got lemmygames.net but lemmy.games would make me happy.

Insane.

Embedded pictures working great on Memmy as of today!

I’m currently playing x4 which is giving me a small dose of both. Overwhelmingly the game is more “make your own fun” but there are some small plot lines that reveal the story of some of the factions that I’ve been slow rolling as I build my empire.

All of you intrinsically motivated gamers. Have you heard of our lord and savior, Bob? Have you played eve online?

One of the most complex, brutal, make your own fun games I’ve ever played. On and off for 16 years and I still suck at it.

I’m having other issues, if my computer goes into deep sleep s3/s4, most of the time on resume steam will run in the background but won’t launch to the foreground or launch any apps until I restart the computer. I suspect it’s something to do with hardware acceleration so I’ve disabled it and am waiting to see there results.
