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.

Yup, hence why I’m on lemm.ee. Originally made an instance to cover when .world was being slow but I think this will be my main now. They haven’t finalized the vote but it seems to be going the defed route.

Still hugely supportive of the .world admins though. They’ve done a ton of work to keep .world running and a ton of digging that will help lemmy overall. I just don’t agree with federating with big social media.
