I’m speculating but I bet they didn’t expect so many people to care about it. With the current state of cs2 and it being so tied to them milking the skin market for money, I’ll bet someone high up said pull the plug just in case.

Nay. Too many distractions or boring tropes of open world games.

I am on a mission to go from a to b. I pick up all items or resources I can along the way. I encounter enemy x often and enemy y not so often. It’s ok for certain types of games but can become tedious after repetition.

I feel like stardew valley is complete enough. I’ve played it for more than 200 hours and there’s still a tonne I can do.

It must be.

Kingdom come deliverance 2 is not even a bad game but how can it be number 7? It’s been out for two months… it’s hardly influenced anything. The first one would make more sense but only because of the dedication the team put into making it. Bizarre entry, and while I don’t agree with shenmue being more influential than doom, super Mario bros or even sonic for that matter, I guess I never played it that much when it came out.

Biggest hypocrites in the game. I’d rather treat with the cave fish men or the roach men than those tree lovers

Rock and stone!

Elves in dwarf fortress will start a 100 year war because you tried to sell them a wooden bowl. Of course I want to play as them

Even Celeste dev did it

You can wall bang almost anything.

Company of heroes, the original version. Still a very good game and unlike the two sequels, is not so dlc heavy and is more about tactics than just spamming tanks and landmines, though I still sometimes do that.

3700 hours. You must have committed a lot of crimes against humanity.

That’s fair. Personally I should have called it quits when they started including pocket in the browser, but better late than never.

It may be overblown but I am seriously tired of the way Mozilla is being run. The CEO has a $7 million salary. Big red flags always appear each time they increase the salary also. May be a bit hyperbolic but that’s why I’m just using another fork after 20 years

I’m gonna put forward an uncommon weapon. Counter strike’s Zeus. I have 5000+ hours in csgo/cs2 and I have enjoyed the times when me and some friends have Zeused the enemy team more than any other kind of gameplay. You can jump around inferno apps, out of windows, up through windows, in and around boiler, on balcony while boosting a mate. Hide on the boxes on site and jump down to short. Same with nuke.

I’m not a fan of mastodon because it really does feel a lot like other social media sites, I don’t really like any form of advertising, whether it’s intentional or unintentional. People post too much bullshit trying to gain followers. I never cared much for twitter/facebook/instagram anyway.

Lemmy however is a better replacement for Reddit, so far. I remember when Reddit was the replacement and now look at it, a big steaming pile of ads and bots, power tripping admin and moderators, killed 3rd party apps that made the site useable. Hopefully lemmy can remain the same as it is now.

I was basing what I said on the http.py file:

while True:
                try:
                    # Download and write
                    data_block = ctx.data.read(block_size if not is_test else min(block_size, data_len - byte_counter))
                except TransportError as err:
                    retry(err)

                byte_counter += len(data_block)

I might still be wrong but that’s how I thought it downloaded any video file over http

Edit. After reading the code a bit more I see that you were correct.

yt-dlp streams those chunks into the final file tbh so it should be fine.

I was wrong about this part. I doubt the isp would do anything about it though, just for different reasons

I believe the request to the server is the same as if you were watching it. It just runs the file from their server to your browser, with yt-dlp it sends a request to the server file the same way a browser does. You can view the source code which is well commented if you are able to understand python. The function is in yt-dlp/downloader/http.py

After rereading the code, it’s not quite the same but I wouldn’t worry about the isp
