Better Auth is basically just a library / scripts that you run in your application.

Marking someone as a flight risk for committing a crime is common practice in all countries.

I guarantee the same would've happened in the US if this was the reverse situation.


> for committing a crime

What’s the crime?


Violating the export laws as cited elsewhere in this thread.


Enjoying a succulent meal, I guess


Does it support multi-view input?


Not currently - TRELLIS.2 is single-image input only AFAIK


Ah, it’s still very useful though, thanks for the port!

Counter-Strike

Every MOBA that exists (DotA, LoL, HoN, etc)

Team Fortress

Killing Floor

PUBG

Natural Selection

Undoubtedly, many more that I can't recall off the top of my head.


The autochess genre (Teamfight Tactics) is basically a mod of a mod since it started as a custom game in Dota 2.


Yeah, that's the big one that escaped my memory


Tower defense games.

Warcraft 3, the birthplace of so many amazing genres.


>Counter-Strike, Team Fortress, Natural Selection

These games used the GoldSrc engine. Any game built on this engine gets called a mod. But this is not what most people actually think of when people are talking about mods. Rust is not a mod of Unity. These are game engines that people built a game using.

>DotA

This was a custom map. Not a mod.

>LoL, HoN

These were built on in house game engines and were not a mod.

>PUBG

This game used UE4 and was not a mod.


Counter-strike was definitively a mod, you had to install it in the same folder as Half-Life and start it with 'hl.exe -game cstrike'. It became a standalone game later with the retail release.

Are we getting so old that people are forgetting cs was a mod.


Calling DotA just a custom map is a bit of a stretch. That was merely the packaging. These "custom maps" had various scripting capabilities that made them more than just some terrain.

Also custom maps are mods by definitions anyways, with the exception of games where the creation of maps is a component of gameplay.


I mean, to those who played them, 'custom map' is basically just a term of art indicating the things you said. In the parlance of the mid-2000s WC3 scene, you would call them custom games or custom maps.

Or, if you were slightly older, you might call them UMS, as they were in Starcraft. Short for "Use Map Settings", indicating that the game logic should come from the scripts and triggers in the map file rather than the built-in logic for ladder games.


I like how you keep doubling down, and people keep destroying you. Please keep going. It is very informative for me to watch people correct you.


>This was a custom map. Not a mod.

This is even better. Because it's a map you can start it without modifying your game installation.

There were "real" WC3 mods, but it was always cumbersome and worked reliably only in singleplayer.

Gameplay-wise it's a mod obviously.


Dota is a wc3 map but, pendanticism aside, there is no distinction between a "map" and a mod in this context.


Speaking as someone who's participated a few times, the organisers don't owe us jack shit, and have a right to stop whenever they want.

Mike clearly doesn't want to be a "kingmaker", and that's a good thing.


...and importantly, neither does the LLM; frameworks are incredibly useful even if you are using generative AI.


I just built a quick plugin to automatically add agents & skills then fire off a team with them, depending on your task: https://github.com/drbscl/dream-team


> So fuzzycanary also checks user agents

I wouldn't be so surprised if they often fake user agents to be honest. Sure, it 'll stop the "more honest" ones (but then, actual honest scrapers would respect robots.txt)

Cool idea though!


I got used to it after a few hours. M&K is probably the better experience overall, sure.


They're just talking about official support (i.e. support tickets). It'll probably still run elsewhere, they're just not promising to help you with bugs on other hardware & configurations. Entirely reasonable IMO.
