2023.06.02 08:46 rickyjumb Configuration after install crashes pc

Hello,
Is anyone attempting to install Qubes Os on Ryzen 7000 series having the PC crash during the configuration process after Qubes successfully installed? I'm using a 4.2 build as the 4.1.2 build gives me even more problems.
My hardware setup is the following:
Qubes doesn't even boot on my system without the x2apic=false flag both on the xen and linux lines in grub. With that flag though, the installer boots and successfully installs Qubes Os. At the first reboot after the installation, the system again doesn't boot if the x2apic=false flag isn't present both in the xen and linux lines. With that flag, the system boots and gets all the way to the first configuration step.
This is where my problems start. If I check the box for no configuration at all then the system gets to the login screen but given that I'm a total novice with Qubes, a full config from the ground up is not exactly what I was looking for. If I let the configuration step do its thing (only changing sys-net to be disposable from the default config) the config step gets to configuring networking and the system resets.
If I disable the creation of system Qubes like sys-firewall and sys-net but let it create sys-usb and install templates, I just get an error about the missing default disposable vm but the configuration completes and I get a login screen.
I thought it was the wifi as it has been buggy on both arch linux and windows but even with the wifi and Bluetooth adapter disabled in the bios the configuration cannot get past the network config. The lan chip is a Marvell AQC113CS-B1-C 10Gbps LAN.
Is anyone else having similar problems on similar hardware?
Also, can anyone give me any pointers on how to go about a manual config of sys-firewall, sys-net and the default disposable vm?
Edit: formatting

2023.05.31 22:39 Anonimo_Llopi War Thunder Mobile Review: The Good, The Bad (and the ugly?) of Ground Forces

Max level (9) player of Ground Forces here, Normal WT player since 2015, 25 days since I first installed it, 2 extreme grinding days with 4 days of free premium accounts:
Good stuff:
The Bad Stuff

Ok, that's all I could think I've been writing for more that 2 hours bruh, btw if your phone is good unlike mine you might be able to connect to your pc and play with basically pc mouse controls thanks to tc games, it makes grinding way more bearable but I've gotten pretty decent with touch controls and I'm max level so I won't need it anymore: https://www.reddit.com/Warthundecomments/13u6cn8/8_kill_game_in_war_thunder_mobile_with_mouse_aim/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

2023.05.31 09:27 forestywatermelon First day of work, like, ever. Do you guys who’ve been at it for longer have any advice?

So, work. I went to the interview prepared to ace it, and I blanked on anxiety. I messed up a few times. I was sure I’d be dismissed. But no. The manager was cool, she hired me after five minutes of talking to me and has been nothing but supportive.
Trauma-brain said I'm a disgrace and I wouldn't even hire myself, but I pushed it under the rug. I'm being done a favor by being hired, so I'll do my best to repay it with my effort.
I'm off medication. I'm still living with the abuser who caused me this pain and I'm trying to not. Hence, the work.
As the title says, today was my first day. My shift lead was cool—he trained me. I, being the scholar I am, didn't watch the orientation videos because I assumed there weren't orientation videos. I was like “I’ll go through it before work tomorrow,” because my shift was later in the day.
My brain decided that there was a phantom card that was given to me with my login on it, looked for it for twenty minutes in a frenzy, only to realize that no, there wasn't a physical card, but a text message.
Oh shit, no time! Got to leave for work.
Anyway, while my shift lead is cool, he speaks quieter, and I’m like “Huh.” I learned the ropes within like 15 minutes, and then I messed up. Whoops.
So, I, in all my brilliance, accidentally make a smoothie that was already made. Twice. Okay, to be fair I didn't know where the order screen was or that they turned different colors when they were done.
I almost cried cutting strawberries. My shift lead didn't see me almost crying while cutting strawberries. I never cry, by the way!
I don't know whether or not the smoothies were too smooth or not I tried, okay!
I was triggered that entire time and you are not supposed to feel like dying when you fill the smoothie a little shorter than the top are you?
Oh, while being cool and all, my shift lead did start talking about he wants the sink a certain way, and how he’s “a little OCD”
Me, standing there, with OCD, like: Dude...if only if you knew. Honestly, I was too shocked to hear someone say that in real life to even register it as annoying.
PS: Tonight I watched a good portion of those orientation videos. Eek. Oh, did I mention I don’t know who’s going to be on shift with me tomorrow?
How haven't I been fired? That's the most winging it I've done, and I did improv theater in high school.
If you guys have any advice or words of wisdom to relax before work or deal with my crap on the job then I’d appreciate it. Regardless, I hope everyone here can have some peace in their day.

2023.05.31 08:09 Jdtrinh Had DSM 7.1 SSH auth via Keyless and password, now lost all authentication

I am unable to access my Synology NAS using SSH from both admin and non-admin accounts as I will receive the error "Permission denied (publickey)."
A few weeks ago, I created a git server on my Ds 220+ (Disk Station Manager 7.1.1-42962) and attempted to set the NAS up as a keyless login.
SSH with an admin user, keyless authentication was successful. SSH with a non-admin user, keyless authentication was UNsuccessful, but prompted for a password authentication which was successful.
A few weeks passed, I tried to SSH in using both admin and non-admin users and was denied permission.
I fear an automatic synology update may have reverted some changes but I'm not sure how. Could anyone help provide some ideas on how I can regain SSH access to my Synology NAS?
I've attempted to telnet into it with hope to restore the sshd_config file but passwords I've used are incorrect (I tried the "secret" daily hex password and the password for the 'admin' account). I do not have high confidence that I did the secret daily hex password correctly.
All help is greatly appreciated!

2023.05.19 20:31 mattboston Azure Devops with multiple Azure tenants

In our organization they decided to setup multiple Azure tenants for each of our environments (ie. dev, qa, production). Each environment has its own Azure AD, but dev/qa do not have logins for everyone, just those in our Dev, QA, Tech teams. Production has logins for everyone in the company.
We setup Azure DevOps tied to our main production Azure tenant. We want it here because there are people outside of the dev/qa/tech team that need Git access. Here's what we're trying to do.
In each of our repos we have a main, release_dev, and release_stage(qa) branch. There might be feature branches, but we'll ignore those for now. What we want to do is when a build is done on the release_dev branch, then containers are published to ACR in the Azure dev tenant. If it's release_stage, publish in the ACE in Azure qa tenant. And main into the production tenant.
Here's the issues I'm having.
  1. If I try to setup a service connection to ACR, the only ones that I can see are in the production tenant.
  2. How can I have a pipeline that depending on the branch publishes to a different registry?
  3. And can I make these settings global across multiple projects.

2023.05.12 15:30 CISO_Series_Producer Top cybersecurity stories for the week of 05-08-23 to 05-12-23

Below are the top headlines we’ve been reporting this whole week on Cyber Security Headlines.
If you’d like to hear and participate in a discussion about them, the CISO Series does a live 20-minute show every Friday at 12:30pm PT/3:30pm ET. Each week we welcome a different cyber practitioner to offer some color to the week's stories. Our guest this week is Paul Connelly, Former CISO, HCA Healthcare.
To get involved you can watch live and participate in the discussion on YouTube Live or you can subscribe to the Cyber Security Headlines podcast and get it into your feed.
Here are some of the stories we'll be covering:
Top US cyber official warns AI may be the ‘most powerful weapon of our time’ CISA Director Jen Easterly, speaking on Friday at a security summit at Vanderbilt University in Nashville warned, that artificial intelligence may be both the most “powerful capability of our time” and the “most powerful weapon of our time.” She highlighted a scenario in which how-to guides, AI-generated imagery, auto-generated shopping lists are available for terrorist and for criminals, providing the capability to develop things like cyber weapons, chemical weapons, bio weapons,” adding that those are not even the worst case scenario. She suggested that AI companies should break that “decades-long vicious cycle of technological innovation at the expense of security.” (Cyberscoop)
Windows admins can now sign up for ‘known issue’ email alerts Microsoft announced last week that Windows admins can now choose to be emailed when new known issues are added to the Windows release health section of the Microsoft 365 admin center. After enrolling, IT admins will receive an email every time known issues are added or updated with new information, including changes in status, new workarounds, or issue resolutions. Microsoft states this is only available for those with admin roles in organizations with eligible Windows or Microsoft 365 for Business subscriptions that provide access to Windows release health in the Microsoft 365 admin center. (Bleeping Computer)
Dallas still reeling from ransomware Last week, the city of Dallas confirmed it suffered a ransomware attack. The Royal ransomware organization took credit. Over the weekend, the city said it believed it contained the attack with no signs of new spread. However on May 8th all municipal courts remained closed. Police and fire departments also informed local outlets of continuing issues. Dispatchers are writing down information and relaying it manually over radios. This also played into the response to the mass shooting in Allen, Texas, as police were unable to access prior information on police calls to the home of the shooter. City officials also warned against scammers approaching the general public to pay things like utility bills, saying the city would not proactively reach out. (The Record)
Court rules on Merck cyber insurance claim Back in 2018, Merck got caught up in the NetPetya attacks, suffering an estimated $1.4 billion loss. This accounted for outages, consulting, and system replacements, At the time, it held a $1.75 billion all-risk policy from Ace American. But the insurer refused to pay it citing an “Acts of War” clause, arguing the attacks were Russian-backed. Merck filed suit in 2018 disputing this. A December 2021 New Jersey Superior Court decision determined these provisions did not apply. Ace American appealed. How the Superior Court of New Jersey Appellate Division upheld the judgment. It found the details of the attack on Merck came “wholly outside the context of any armed conflict or military objective.” (SC Magazine)
Operation Medusa takes down ‘Snake’ malware network The US Department of Justice (DoJ) announced that a joint operation dubbed Medusa has decimated a 20-year-old malware operation run by Russia’s Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB). A threat group named Turla used malware called Snake to steal secrets from North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)-member governments. Turla exfiltrated sensitive data through a global network of compromised machines to evade detection. The FBI developed a tool named Perseus, which they used to neutralize the Snake malware by commanding it to overwrite itself on compromised systems. (Dark Reading and The Register)
Justice Department takes down 13 DDoS-for-Hire sites The Justice Department continued a busy week, announcing Monday that it has seized 13 Internet domains linked to stressor or booter platforms, more formally known as DDoS-for-hire services. Threat actors have paid for these services to launch millions of attacks against organizations, including schools, universities, governments, and financial institutions. Ten of the 13 illicit domains seized are “reincarnations” of DDoS services that were previously shuttered towards the end of last year. (Dark Reading and The Hacker News)
The long term impact of leaked Intel Boot Guard keys Earlier this year, a ransomware attack against the PC OEM MSI by the organization Money Message claimed to steal about 1.5 terabytes of data. According to analysis of recently leaked data by the group by the supply chain analysts at Binarly, this includes Intel Boot Guard Private keys on 116 MSI products, as well as image-signing keys for 57 products. The leaked keys could allow an attacker to install malware in UEFI firmware, they keys would make it appear as legitimate software. If these keys are out there, they could represent a hard to detect attack vector for years to come. Intel says OEMs generate their own Boot Guard keys, meaning this should only impact MSI hardware specifically. (Dark Reading)
Outdated IT systems threaten UK food security and air quality, say British MPs Food security and air quality in the UK are being put at risk by outdated IT systems at the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), a UK parliamentary committee has found. Officials are having to use paper forms rather than digital systems to track fast-moving animal disease and keep food, air and water safe. In some cases, the report says, systems are so old that they have no protection from cyberattacks, and in some cases, users must search out old secondhand laptops to run the applications. The department was found to be struggling to recruit digital, data, and technology staff, leaving it over-reliant on external contractors. (The Guardian)
Cisco warns of new phishing-as-a-service tool A new report from Cisco’s Talos group outlines details of this new service, called “Greatness.” It first spotted it in the wild back in mid-2022, with VirusTotal samples showing spikes in December and March. Its operator generally uses it against corporate entities for financial gain, spoofing Microsoft 365 login pages to gain credentials for further network access. Greatness provides its clients with a full phishing kit, including attachment and link builders, prebuild login pages, bots for chat apps, and MFA circumvention. US businesses accounted for roughly half of Greatness victims. Attackers mainly targeted manufacturing, healthcare, and technology sectors with attacks. (The Record)

2023.05.07 18:00 shlammysammy My honest opinion on weekly online tourneys - Cheaters?

My honest opinion on weekly online tourneys - Cheaters?
Let me start off by saying I play in these 15-20 times a week on PC, as there are 3-6 you can do per day given the hourly resets. Player rating is 96.
The backstory for the leaderboard your seeing (this is the Weekly tournament at Qual Hollow on tour difficulty) is what was the best round I’ve played in the game so far. I had an albatross, an ace, and holes out from 125 for eagle. To do all of that in a single round isn’t easy, not that Quail Hollow is super difficult.
I posted with 2 pars (who can play 18 perfect holes), and at the time was leading by 2 shots. I’d never seen the lead be 2 shots as of yet in this game cause the competitive spread in score is usually very tight. The only time there’s a even solo leader is usually if there’s multiple hole outs like I had, as birdie is almost average score for top players.
I login the next day for the online tourneys(few days ago) and I can’t see the leaderboards. Any of them, pending or current. This isn’t the first time this has happened, and once before once they returned there was an obvious case of cheating going on. Someone at Pebble had posted a daily tourney score that equaled to an ace and every hole. Thru holes 15-18, the leaderboard showed they posted a -12 round, an ace on all four holes. I laughed and thought well, there’s def no anti cheat in the game then. I forgot to take a photo, but snapped it to a few friends.
Anyhow, I login the next day and the leaderboards are finally viewable again. To my disbelief I see my weekly score beat by 2 shots. -22, a 49. Not only that, the same guy was leading every tourney that day by at least a shot. I can’t help but think if you can make it look like you aced every hole, you can sure as hell do just a few better. But my question is do the people that do this even play, or do they just edit game files? I’d like feedback based on this what you guys think the legitimacy of this round is, and if you’ve had problems seeing leaderboards as well. Could just be shitty ea servers too.

2023.05.06 04:53 tacticsf00kboi An Honest Moment (Monarch X Prez)

AN: GODDAMMIT I MISREMEMBERED BLACK FLAG AS BEING DUSK NOT DAWN. FUCKKKKKKKKKKKK. Oh well, I'm not gonna rewrite it. I'm probably the only one who would've noticed anyways. Well, now you know. Anyways, enjoy some tomboy wizzo and mute psychopath content.

I disembarked at our airfield in the Creole Republic for what I assumed would be the last time in the foreseeable future. Those Oceanic mercs had said something about a Cascadian insurrection that interested Kaiser. It didn't take a genius to put two and two together. And with the future of the Federation at stake, it was obvious what side we would be taking. Which means I was gonna be busy for the next few days.
I found Galaxy's crew buzzing around their dedicated hangar. The man himself looked like he had a moment. "Hey Dom, do you mind writing up Hitman 1's after action report?" I asked. "Besides the Meilynx thing, nothing notable really happened. You should have all the data already."
He tilted his head to me and dipped his shades like an irate librarian.
I gave him a pleading look. "I have urgent shit to take care of. And you know how Monarch is."
"Fine," he sighed. "But you're in charge of interior maintenance for my bird later."
"Thanks." I marched off to the barracks, having that taken care of. That was one of the perks of working for Sicario. In a national air force, such a favor would be a breach of protocol, but Kaiser didn't care much for formalities, so long as operations went smoothly in the field. Of course, it doesn't matter much to me what my workload entails, so long as I get paid. That's usually not much of an issue, flying with Monarch, but Sicario pilots get paid by sortie, and this contract hadn't been very lively for Hitman team. I had room and board, and a modest spending stipend, but my only sizable paycheck would be this upcoming one, what with wiping out the Burloks. I wouldn't have much to send home, and by the looks of things, this might be my last opportunity to do so for at least six months. Probably longer. Assuming the Feds don't kill us.
I entered my private dorm— being the crew chief for Sicario's vanguard has its perks— and set to work on my finances. I wouldn't be able to set up a transfer until the following day, but I figured I should make sure my bases are covered before then. Check my savings, set up my expenses, calculate my financial cushion, and I was left with...
Damn.
Well, once my payment went through, I could just send that over, right? I just had to log in to the company site, work through the extensive verification system, plug some estimates into the pay calculator and...
Damn!
This was a nightmare. My father's death last year already put a huge strain on the family's finances. Having to put my brothers through school took up most of what I was sending. What if Mom got sick? What would happen if the Feds found out about me and seized their assets as some kind of punishment? What if... a bounty hunter found them first?
I threw my head into my hands. What was I going to do? This could be the last care package my family receives. The last message Mom reads from her only daughter... I needed to make it count. Maybe I could ask Kaiser for a bonus. I'm sure he would understand, but I doubted he'd be able to shell out funds like that ahead of a major campaign. That might be my only—
"You look like you need a break." Comic was leaning in my doorway in her civvies, beer bottle in one hand.
"Like the one we've had all month?" I quipped.
"Gotta get 'em in when we can. Dip and some of the Gunsel pilots are heading out to New New Orleans for one last hurrah before you-know-what. I think you should come."
I sighed. "Sure. Not like there's much for me to do right now anyways."
"Alright. I'll tell 'em to wait up for you."
"Thanks, Mick." Maybe this would be good for me. I might think of another solution once I've had some R&R. I slipped off my boots and flight suit, found a pair of jeans and a clean tee shirt, grabbed my wallet, and headed out for what would hopefully be a fun night.

It was not a fun night. I couldn't stop thinking of home, despite the copious amounts of alcohol. I tried some low stakes blackjack at the casino but ended up exasperating my guilt and hopelessness when I lost, which I promptly chased with more booze. I eventually decided I should head back to base. Diplomat called a driver for me and the girl that leads Gunsel sat outside with me while I waited. Soon, a nondescript sedan pulled up and let out a short beep. I stumbled into the front seat, fiddled with the seatbelt, and turned to thank my driver.
Monarch.
I didn't see his face often. But even in my inebriated state, I recognized those cold eyes and that expressionless face. I couldn't help but feel butterflies in my stomach, riding with someone so... unnatural. In the sky, I could write him off as being hyper-focused on the task at hand. But now, it was almost as if I was alone in that car. For my own comfort, I stuck with that narrative in my head, which left me to think about my family and finances. Was there anything I could've done to prepare for something like this? What am I going to do now? Why did I think it was okay to go out partying instead of working to provide for my little brothers?
I quietly wept to myself for the better part of the ride back. I glanced over to see if Monarch had noticed. He had. I had no idea what he was thinking, but I saw his eyes darting between me and the road. Suddenly, my guilt shifted towards him. I made him come out at such a late hour, then shut him out while creating such a depressing atmosphere. I tried to apologize, but between the liquor and the tears, I only managed to slur out the word "sorry" a few times. Monarch put his hand on my shoulder as we pulled through the security gates. He walked me to my room, carrying half my weight while I struggled to put one foot in front of the other. I immediately collapsed onto my bunk. The last thing I felt before slipping into unconsciousness was my sneakers being pulled off my feet and my blankets gently floating down on top of me.

There was no alarm when I woke up. When I saw the clock, a surge of adrenaline jolted me awake. I cursed myself and hastily threw on a uniform. Thankfully, I hadn't drunkenly soiled myself the previous night, so a shower wasn't strictly necessary. I'd smell, but that was a given doing maintenance work in the Creole Republic. It certainly wasn't going to bother me more than my headache. Or... anything else.
I ran to the hangars and saw Kaiser overseeing maintenance checks for Assassin squadron. I heart went a mile a minute as I went to salute him. "Reporting for duty, sir!"
He cocked his head as he turned to me. "Prez. I thought you were taking a personal day."
My posture faltered slightly in my confusion. "S-sir?"
"Monarch told me. Well, he struck your name from the schedule during this morning's briefing, but I got the message."
I dropped the salute entirely. "W-well I... I guess I could use it..."
He smirked and patted my shoulder. "Enjoy your day off, Kuo." As he turned back to his work, he added, "And take a shower. You smell like one of these bayou hillbillies."
I walked away, somewhat relieved, but also skeptical. Did Monarch turn off my alarm, too? Was I really that broken up last night?
After stopping by the infirmary for a dose of painkillers, I took a nice, long, hot shower, trying not to think about the fact that asking Kaiser for any favors was now out of the question for the time being. After putting on a tank and some sweatpants, I figured I should try finding something online to relax with. I plopped onto my bunk and opened my laptop (wait, I don't remember closing it?) to find a notification from my bank's website.
My heart immediately started racing again. Monarch wouldn't want me thinking about this right now, but I just couldn't ignore it. Going through the login motions, I tried to figure out what this might mean. Had I mistyped a payment and overdrawn? Did Kaiser order a rush payment? Had a Federation spy figured out what was gonna happen and frozen my account? No, that's ridiculous. There's no way they would've known. It probably hadn't even written anywhere yet. Stay cool, Robin.
Alright, let's see what's going on here.
...
Holy shit.
...
Now, mercenary work is very profitable. Sicario's revenue would make a cordium baron jealous. But rarely do the warriors themselves see such a sizable share of that. The only ones skilled enough and critical enough to make this kind of money are... the pilots.
There was a memo attached to the deposit.
Consider this an investment. I can't have the best copilot I've ever had the honor of flying with worry about unimportant things like money. Get some rest. -M
I put my laptop aside while that sunk in. It felt like the world was lifted off my shoulders. And yet, I couldn't relax. The butterflies were back. Sicario's enigmatic Ace of Aces actually gives a shit about something. And that something is me.
I was almost too stunned to notice him standing in my doorway, still in his flight suit, two greasy brown bags in hand. As I stood up, he stepped in and put the bags down on my table. Just when he turned back to me, I embraced him. I hugged him harder than I hugged my youngest brother the last time I left Ulaanbaatar four months ago. I felt his hesitation in returning the gesture, but when he finally wrapped his arms around me, I couldn't stop the tears welling up in my eyes. I knew then and there I could trust him, no matter what.
My family would have what they need. As long as I did my part, we would both survive this coming war. And together, we would rule the sky.

Mezil had given me his exchange program login, something that I believed may have been illegal since I never signed the waiver. But, nevertheless, I had access to contact Brad via my own device. Granted, I needed to specify who was speaking first if it was by text. I’d heard that they were working on a galactic comm line to Earth. It couldn’t be finished soon enough. It was a little ridiculous that Human-Venlil contact was only really viable between exchange partners. Probably another effort by the Venlil government to ease the population into the new, radical changes that were taking place. For me, though, I just wanted to be able to use my own comms for Stars’ sake.
Still, I decided I’d try not to bother Brad too much. The Human worked a longer shift than any Venlil would consider reasonable. I didn’t want to siphon up any of his break time with pointless questions. Instead, I was burying myself in my engineering homework. With the end of the term fast approaching, I had plenty to work on. Yet, I found myself a little sidetracked.
Something about Mezil and Brad’s ramblings about music had actually struck a chord with me.
Heh…chord.
The idea that harmony was a numerical construct made sense but was something that I had never truly considered. Why certain tones feel different when put together always seemed like something mystical and otherworldly. But, it really was as simple as a set of ratios. At least, it was at the most basic level. What a composer does with that toolset is what makes the difference.
Coincidentally, the current assignment I was working on revolved around the waveforms of vibrating mechanical structures. The unit outlined the effects the vibration of a machine could have on its parts. The software I was using for the work was able to simulate these frequencies in small controlled cases. It was a good way to test the robustness of parts before manufacturing whole prototypes.
However, instead of doing my work, I found myself trying to use ratios to create certain visual effects of sand on a flat metal sheet. The vibrations were created by an unseen virtual actor that vibrates the air around the sheet. But, I could imagine a few ways that I might be able to generate the effect practically.
If I took my time, I could probably build an instrument from scratch with only school resources. They have just about everything for creating mechanical parts. I could even make myself a new plehr. Or, maybe I could make something for Mezil.
I shook my head.
I really gotta stop getting distracted with music stuff. This assignment is due tonight. I don’t have time to be goofing off.
I cleared my contents from the simulation and started over from the top.

The low sun seemed to be taking issue with me as I sat at my desk. Its vibrant rays had found just the right angle to zip through my window and smack me right in the eyes. Just low enough to reach me. Not so low that the dust in the air dimmed its blaze.
In retrospect, I’d kind of lied to Mezil and Kila about my work hours. Theoretically, the time frame I gave them was what was listed in my job description, but farm work always spills over into the evenings especially at this time of year. Regardless, they seemed to be waiting for my input to confirm that I wasn’t at my job. It had been a hell of a Monday, though, and by the time I got home, my messages were met with silence. Seemed they were either busy or asleep.
The exchange program had been all I could think of ever since I signed up. But, now that I was a part of it, I realized that my Venlil partner wouldn’t always be available either. I had to figure out other things to do with my time.
I could just do what I normally do: play video games, wander YouTube, and the like. But, even before first contact, that always felt a little dull. In truth, life had felt pretty stagnant since I went back to the sod farm. Most of my friends from both public school and college had moved away. Admittedly, my life had been pretty lonely and…temporary I supposed. My IT job had seemingly been pulled from under me. I didn't really have anything tying me to where I lived and worked. In the past, I'd been a stickler for security, always trying to find a way to cement myself in a stable position. But, all my efforts had been in vain it seemed. But, looking at the positives, this meant I didn't have any real obligations. It was a good time for finding new opportunities.
The exchange program had been just that. It made me feel more motivated than I’d felt in some time. I wanted to be a part of something big; to undertake some kind of project.
Like Mezil’s assignment.
That was perhaps the most convenient solution I could have asked for. I’d always taken interest in music as a hobby. He'd been so worried about dragging me into his schoolwork but teaching an alien about the wide range of Human songs was something that had me filled with joy.
And, just because Mezil was offline didn’t mean I couldn’t help him with his project. He needed to know about human music in any regard he could. While I wanted to personally handle his introduction to each song, there was nothing stopping me from writing up some notes for him.
It was time to go on a musical history deep-dive. I decided to focus mainly on western theory and notation since that was what I was familiar with. So, I took to the web.
Back to the 9th century we go…

I'd been hoping for contact from Brad before I went to sleep but the familiar chime from the pad never sounded. Once I awoke, however, I was met with numerous messages.
Numerous lengthy messages.
Since I'd been offline, he'd taken it upon himself to send me a slew of notes about Human musical history. All of which was prefaced by the fact that they only covered the development of ‘western’ music theory which was not exactly standard for every region of Earth.
Stars, can I ever really make any noticeable progress on this? Might as well just fly a Human music professor to Venlil Prime.
I started parsing the notes, reading them carefully and highlighting the points I thought would be most helpful for my report. His notes were detailed but a little disorganized. At first, they seemed to be chronologically sorted, describing the progress of notation by the eras. But, as Brad’s writings went on, it looked more like he went bouncing around the internet at his own leisure, picking up random info that he thought sounded cool.
I didn't necessarily fault him for that. I was guilty of doing the same thing.
Regardless, I'd have to reorganize most of it into an outline before I could start on the report itself. The notes were much appreciated though. Frankly, it was unlikely that we'd be able to make enough headway just by speaking verbally. Our schedules just didn't line up that way.
The most surprising thing about Brad’s information had to do with the sheer breadth of knowledge that existed for their early musical customs. Venlil notation had a lot of mystery surrounding its conception. Written records of early works were hard to come by. Most had to be passed down orally and recorded later, meaning there ended up being lots of variations. Most traditional songs had many versions that were prominent. There were no original copies to be found.
Meanwhile, Humans seemed to have records of the evolution of their notation as a whole. Early works were notated sparingly, relying on common knowledge of particular intervals in songs that had been passed on orally as ours had. But, as time went on they evolved the system to have set pitches, rhythmic values, and the like. Modern notation was simply a distant product of ancient scratchings made to vaguely convey religious hymns. Brad had included a copy of the oldest known complete Human composition called Seikilos Epitaph. I couldn't read the Human notation but a footnote assured me that all the required knowledge would be outlined later on in his study materials.
Why don't the Venlil have this much knowledge about our past musical customs? Actually, why don't any Federation species? Are Humans just an outlier?
I continued parsing Brad’s notes but the question lingered in my mind. It just didn't add up. Certainly written music didn't predate actual Venscript. Why would so much knowledge be lost? And, why did it all seem to be at its most sparse before Federation first contact? I pulled up the web browser on my tab and started searching for early works from other Federation species. Only a handful had any musical records pre-Federation creation/contact: Kolshians, Farsul, and some of the other older Federation members. Oddly enough, the Krakotl were missing from this list.
The Federation did uplift us but we had a functional society before that point. Certainly we would have thought to write down our musical ideas.
I decided to put Brad’s notes on hold and make my way to the university library. They often had more detailed records and firsthand accounts than the internet could provide. If there were any earlier records, I'd have more luck finding them there.

Memory transcription subject: Professor Haeli, Galactic Music Professor at White Hill University
Date [standardized human time]: September 5, 2136
I strode through the halls with a feeling of accomplishment, finally taking my leave for the paw. Mere moments ago, I’d wrapped up a conversation with my exchange partner. We’d only broken off the chat when she mentioned that she had a performance to attend. I had to be a little impressed with the program, they knew how to best match up their volunteers. The Human paired with me, Grace, was a professional ‘pianist’, a musician that specialized in an instrument called a piano. No doubt the program had chosen the two of us based on our shared musical experience.
The first interaction with my Human partner was relatively tame. All communication was done over text chat. Just as Mezil had suggested, it wasn’t as jarring as one might expect. Though, the inevitable visual contact loomed over my head. That would no doubt be more of a challenge.
Part of me wondered why I decided to undertake something like this. By all means, no one actually expected it of me. All my grandiose ideas of academia and progress need to, at some point, touch with reality. Would reality bend to my assumptions? Maybe the doubters were right and this was some elaborate ploy. Still, I found it hard to believe. My thoughts always landed me back at the same questions. If Humans were playing us, why sacrifice so much in our defense? If predators are inherently selfish, why would even one of their soldiers go so far for their Venlil partners, knowing they may well give their lives for the cause?
I have to trust the governor’s judgment as well as my own. We can’t keep living under the fear of predators.
Grace and I had briefly talked shop about tuning systems and notation, revealing several similarities between the two cultures. As Mezil had mentioned, my partner seemed to suggest that Human music was extremely varied, possibly an indicator to their historical division and breadth of unique cultures.
I certainly had my work cut out for me.
I considered my two students that had decided to attempt the assignment. Mezil had suddenly turned into quite the go-getter despite his earlier struggles. Pretty much every assignment up until this point had been riddled with haphazard answers and mistakes. Perhaps he’d just had a rough start and was finally finding his stride. Lanyd, on the other paw, was an enigma. As far as I could tell, she’d been to every class but had only completed about 60% of the assignments. Every one of which she aced. If her grades were all valid, it was likely that she deserved a higher grade based on her knowledge, but I couldn’t give it out based only on the assignments that she’d completed. The fact of the matter is, there’s no special treatment between students. They need to do the work. Otherwise, the degree wasn't earned.
Still, I wonder why she’s neglected so many assignments. I might be willing to offer extensions if she had valid reasoning. Maybe a sick family member? I’m not so cruel as to not hear her out.
As I exited the building, I nearly ran smack into the sleek black coat of Professor Gretty. He taught physics in the building next door so we often saw one another. Most of our lectures even lined up to the same time slots so we often took our leave near-simultaneously.
I wondered if this near miss would land me in one of his classic mini-lectures about inertia.
“Sorry, Gretty!” I chuckled. “I guess I'd best look where I’m walking!”
“Yes, you should.”
His response dripped with a telltale coldness that took me by surprise. Ears laid back and one eye beaming into me, his body language backed it up. Typically, our chats were friendly enough. I couldn't understand why he was being so callous with me now.
“Oh, uh, maybe that was a bit too casual, huh? I'm really sorry,” I replied with haste, trying to do some damage control. But, his gaze remained fixed on me, letting silence hang in the air for a moment.
“Haeli,” he finally spoke. “I understand that you’re incentivizing your students to communicate with predators.”
Oh. That's what this is about.
I straightened myself with the serious demeanor befitting of a professor.
“That's right. I think it's an important opportunity to try and understand their culture.”
He sighed and lowered his head in exasperation.
“They're predators, Haeli. Regardless of the specifics, their culture will be punctuated with destruction and cruelty. I think it's irresponsible of you to put your students in harm’s way like this. Honestly, I expected better practice from you.”
His expectations could almost be compliments if not for the intensely backhanded nature he'd used to make them known. I knew there'd be pushback for the assignment. I guess I'd been hoping that my immediate acquaintances wouldn't take such an issue with my decision.
“I believe we don't have merit to judge Humans without firsthand accounts.”
“I'm sure you could find plenty in a cattle farm.”
“They don't farm sapients. Not like the Arxur.”
“And I'm guessing you heard that from these predators? Certainly, their words are to be trusted at face value.”
His approach was beginning to get on my nerves. Not because it was different from mine but that it left out the whole picture.
“And I suppose they protected and fought with our soldiers because they're playing some sort of long game?” I countered.
“As if predators need any reason to kill. We’ve just given them a 'moral’ outlet to satiate their thirst for blood. What happens if they run out of grays to splatter?”
“I'd wager we'd have a much more peaceful galaxy.”
“Or we'd have another enemy with their grips on our home world. Think about it. It could be worse. At least Venlil Prime makes an effort to repel Arxur raids. We’re inviting Humans to stay here.”
I surveyed the area around us. Most students were going about their way but a few seemed to be stopped, listening to our impromptu debate.
“My exchange partner is a musician. Why would they need music in a society based around killing?”
“I'm not going to argue that their society consists only of killing. You're right that the evidence doesn't back it up. Rather, I propose the idea that they will inevitably circle back to destructive habits. These monsters nearly destroyed themselves. Why do you trust them to keep all their promises to us? Because Tarva does? Is that the extent of your reasoning?”
I found myself suddenly taken aback. No response was formulating in my mind. I'd put my faith in humans for no real reason other than optimism. Maybe that was my reasoning. I had to believe in a world where living under threat of Arxur incursion wasn't the end-all-be-all. But, Gretty had brought up another point. If we allowed Humans onto Venlil Prime and they turned out to be as bad as the grays or, Stars forbid, worse than those sick reptiles, we would certainly regret our choices.
Or, we'd all be dead.
My silence seemed to speak volumes as he straightened himself with an air of victory. Moments later, however, his posture turned to that of concern.
“Haeli, I cannot overturn the headmaster’s decision to allow you to carry out this research nor can I truly convince you to call it off. But, I urge you to consider what it is you're doing for your students’ safety and for yours as well.”
With that he turned and strode away, tail swishing a half-hearted goodbye behind him. The students that had been listening took their leave as well.
I stood for a moment, thinking about what I could have said. What I should have said.
I can't let him discourage me. The only way to truly know is through experience. If I have to take risks, I'll do it. If my students choose to follow me, that's their choice.
I sighed and turned to head home.
What a long paw this has been…

The library building was ancient by most standards. Pre-Federation in its construction, it served as one of the last bastions of pure Venlil culture before we were intermingled with the galaxy at large. Given its age, however, it had undergone many restorations. But, it was always a priority to retain as much of the original structure as possible and to not alter the overall design. Most universities had long demolished their old buildings. Yet, by the will of university benefactors and alumni, this one remained.
The interior was darker than that of modern buildings, utilizing dim lights meant to emulate the glow of candles. Even before Federation contact, the candles were an ancient method. But, the dim lighting remained nonetheless, a boon to the old Venlil architecture as the tall, curved walls spiraled into the roof above where tiny pinpricks of light traveled in from outside, piercing the darkness in the dome like stars. In those days, the night side of Venlil Prime was just as hostile as it was in the present. But, efforts were still made to explore its edges. The stunning skyward view was perhaps the greatest reward that the freezing wastelands could offer. It was chronicled in the architecture here.
Despite the rich atmosphere, my fumbling through the old shelves had turned up nothing I couldn't find online. Everything pre-Federation contact was extremely limited. Some of the books even had whole sections of pages haphazardly torn out! What a desecration of Venlil culture.
But, what perhaps irked me more than the lack of information was the lack of reasoning for it. There was no mention of any justification for the purging of our records. It was like one day generations of knowledge and history simply vanished and no one could explain it.
I closed the most recent book I'd dug from the shelves, stacking it amongst the tower I'd accumulated on the old wooden desk in front of me.
27 historical Venlil music texts. Not one with more than five pre-Federation works. Is this some kind of joke?
I closed my eyes and scratched my snout with the tips of my claws. Was this really all we had records of? It was all as good as nothing compared to the breadth of knowledge that Brad had sent!
“Looking for something in particular?”
The voice took me off guard and I jumped slightly in surprise. My eye found the source of the question rather quickly. At the end of the shelves, an older Venlil eyed me curiously. A set of corrective lenses hung from a thread around her neck. Venlil weren't prone to vision problems. But, as we aged, we often needed assistance to help with reading. Most just went with the surgical option. But, the remaining lot preferred to use glass lenses as our ancestors had. For the most part, it was a fashion choice. Though, Venlil didn't wear entire full-body outfits like the Humans were known for.
“Not really,” I responded. “Just…well…anything about pre-Federation music would be nice.”
“You'll have a tough time finding pre-Federation anything here,” she sighed. “Not in a university library like this. You'd have better luck out in the rural town libraries.”
I shot her a puzzled look, ears cocked to the side.
“I'd think that the opposite would be true, right? We should have the most extensive records present for educational purposes. Especially in a place this ancient.”
Slowly, the old Venlil I'd determined was the librarian hobbled over to my desk, taking a seat across from me.
“You know,” she started. “My parents worked in this library too. As did their parents before them. They used to tell me that a long time ago, there was more information stored here. When they made contact with the Federation, much of that knowledge was ripped from us. Though, I couldn't tell you why. I couldn't even tell you whether or not my relatives’ story was true. But, the torn pages and empty shelves speak for themselves, I think.”
Her voice had lowered to a barely-audible whisper. The heavy silence of the library almost seemed to overwhelm it. She paused slightly before continuing.
“I still believe that my parents and grandparents were right. Of course, I doubt anyone would believe such a thing. The Federation has protected us for as long as I can remember. I can't imagine what would drive them to do something so heinous as the destruction of old, treasured knowledge. But, I do believe that it happened.”
My mouth felt dry even considering the old librarian’s words. Did the Federation really remove all of these records? Could they do such a thing?
I recalled the moments after my first visual contact with Brad, when I'd finally summoned the courage to look at the images of Marcel the Human soldier. Beaten. Starved. Broken.
“I believe you,” the words had left my mouth before I even considered them. “I think your family told the truth.”
She looked almost surprised by my agreement. Her expression softened before she spoke again.
“I don’t have any children to look after this place when I'm gone. They'll just replace me with some random worker no doubt. But, I'm glad at least one person can carry on my family’s secret. You'd do well to keep it a secret, young one. I'd not want the exterminators to subdue you for ‘predator disease’ as if they had any right. My grandparents told me there were times when they looked after those unfortunate souls. Now they throw them in those dastardly facilities.”
Her ears fell back at that, clearly troubled by the thought.
“But…exterminators protect us from dangerous people,” I interjected.
“Maybe some of us,” she responded. “I've never much cared for those gun-toting goons myself. Never needed a flamethrower for protection and I'm still standing here after all these years.”
She chuckled at that. But, her eyes showed sorrow.
“I…guess I just don't know what to make of any of this,” I conceded. “I've spoken to a sapient predator. I can't find any records of the past. What's been going on with this planet? No, with the whole galaxy?”
She looked at me as though I had finally asked a question that she had always wanted to answer.
“Who knows? But, every day is an opportunity. If you want change, go make it. My glory paws have come and gone, but you're still young and spry. So, I'll leave you to it. It's your world now.”
She stood up to leave the table but I placed my paw on hers to stop her.
“Wait. My name’s Mezil. What’s yours?”
“Aebl. It's been a pleasure speaking to you, Mezil. You're always free to come here if you'd like to chat. But, right now I have books to shelve.”
“Right,” I replied. “Thanks for making an effort to help me.”
“It's no problem, dear. You can show your gratitude by putting all those books back exactly where you found them when you're done. Seems you've accumulated quite the hefty stack.”
My ears and tail fell sheepishly.
“Yes, ma’am. Of course…”
Why did I have to grab so fucking many?

For over four decades, Nintendo's titular Italian plumber and face of the company has been entertaining gamers, appearing in over two-hundred different games since Mario's debut in 1981. Mario and his brother Luigi also have a history in the world of filmmaking, though not precisely for the same prestigious reasons. One of the most bizarre adaptations in motion picture history, Super Mario Bros. (1993), starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo as Mario and Luigi (neither of which are Italian), didn't come even close to delivering the iconic style and tone of the original games, instead opting for a flashy dinosaur-themed sci-fi box office bomb.

Despite a strange first attempt, the Super Mario Bros. IP is still ripe for a cinematic adaptation. Thankfully, we’re finally getting that with the aptly named The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Coming from Illumination Animation, otherwise known as the studio behind The Secret Life of Pets, Despicable Me, and Sing franchises, early looks at the film already tease a visually faithful adaption that will thrust fans and audiences into the Mushroom Kingdom like never before. Given the huge intergenerational popularity of the series, the film is practically guaranteed to be a massive win for Universal Pictures and Illumination. Those chances are even further improved with Universal Studios' long-awaited Super Nintendo World set to open mere months before the film's release.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is now playing in theaters, but if you don’t want to go out of your way to watch it, you’re probably searching for the movie online. Is The Super Mario Bros. Movie streaming on Peacock or has it found a home on another service? Here’s what we know so you don’t miss out.

Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait for it to become available to rent or purchase on digital platforms like Amazon, Vudu, YouTube and Apple, or become available to stream on Prime Video.

How to Watch and Stream The Super Mario Bros. Movie:
If you’re wondering if you can stream The Super Mario Bros. Movie online at home, it’s not currently an option. At the moment, the only way to watch the video game-inspired film is by heading over to your local movie theater and purchasing a ticket.

That said, there’s a good chance that you’ll be able to stream The Super Mario Bros. Movie in the near future. It’s important to note that it was distributed by Universal Pictures, which was involved in other releases like Megan and Knock at the Cabin that eventually landed on Peacock. So, there’s a high possibility that Universal Pictures will also bring The Super Mario Bros. Movie to the NBC streaming platform.

In the meantime, you’ll just want to make sure you have access to Peacock’s library of movies and shows. If you don’t have a subscription yet, you can sign up for a plan starting at $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year for the premium option. Once you have a login, you can access the app on your smart TV, head over to the Peacock site on your laptop, or watch on your phone.

Is The Super Mario Bros Movie on streaming?
No, The Super Mario Bros Movie isn’t available to stream right now. While this hasn’t been confirmed, it may arrive on Peacock as early as 45 days following its theatrical release – however, if it has legs at the box office, don’t expect it to leave cinemas in a hurry.

As for Netflix, an earlier report by TV Shows Ace claimed the film could arrive on the streaming platform by October 2023. This is due to an agreement between DreamWorks and Illumination, with animated movies coming to Netflix four months after streaming on Peacock, where they’ll remain for 10 months.

When Will The Super Mario Bros. Movie Streaming Online?
There's been no official announcement regarding The Super Mario Bros. Movie's streaming release. However, given it's a Universal film, The Super Mario Bros. Movie will eventually be released on Peacock rather than Netflix, HBO Max, or Disney+.

As for a potential release date, we know the Universal-Peacock deal requires movies to be released on streaming no later than four months after their theatrical debuts. Universal's past two movies to hit Peacock — Knock at the Cabin and M3GAN — were added to the service 49 days after their debuts. This, theoretically, puts Mario's streaming release date as early as May 24 and as late as August 5.

Is The Super Mario Bros. Movie Streaming On Prime Video?
The Super Mario Bros. Movie may be streaming on Prime Video soon thanks to a placeholder release date for May 9 on Amazon's video streaming service.

The movie's PVOD page was spotted by Resetera user ContractHolder, noting that it's been marked as "Early Access," which means it may start streaming on Prime Video one month after the start of its theatrical run. When you preorder The Super Mario Bros. Movie on the service, you may see May 9, 2023 as the placeholder date. It's expected to come out on PVOD on that date, but that may be subject to change.

"Usually Universal only rushes their films to PVOD if it has under a $50 million opening weekend," ContractHolder explained in the post. "That's probably not going to happen for the Mario movie, but the marker has specifically been used for movies going to PVOD early in their theater run. So keep in mind that there's a chance home viewings for the Mario movie could happen quickly."

Is The Super Mario Bros. Movie Streaming On Peacock?
Some fans may believe either Disney+ or HBO Max will host The Super Mario Bros., but that will not be the case. Instead, you’ll find the movie on Peacock. Not right away, though. The animated feature will be in theaters for a number of weeks before landing on the streaming service. How long, exactly? We’re not sure, but we’ll be updating you as soon as we do.

Do you have a Peacock subscription? This is a great time to join! Peacock has recently made some sweet upgrades and content additions, you don’t want to miss out.

Will The Super Mario Bros. Movie Be On HBO Max?
No, The Super Mario Bros. Movie is not on HBO Max since it’s not a Warner Bros. movie. Last year, the company released its films in theaters and on the streamer on the same day. However, they now allow a 45-day window between the theatrical release and the streaming release.

While we don't yet have a confirmed streaming release date for The Super Mario Bros Movie, we can look at other Universal releases in 2023 to get a sense of when it might be available to watch at home.

Will The Super Mario Bros. Movie Be On Netflix?
No, The Super Mario Bros Movie will likely not be on Netflix any time soon, seeing as it will go directly to Amazon Prime Video after its theatrical run.

A similar timeline would put the rental release date for The Super Mario Bros Movie in the UK in early May, but it'll then be another month or two until you can buy and own a copy of the movie.

When Will Super Mario Bros Movie Be On Disney+?
While a streaming release date for The Super Mario Bros has not yet been announced, Disney typically sends their movies to Disney+ around 45 days after the theatrical release — and more specifically, on the Friday after that mark. With this strategy, we could be watching Avatar: The Way of Water from the comfort of our homes by early April 2023.

Is The Super Mario Bros. Movie Available On Hulu?
Viewers are saying that they want to view the new animation movie The Super Mario Bros. Movie on Hulu. Unfortunately, this is not possible since Hulu currently does not offer any of the free episodes of this series streaming at this time. It will be exclusive to the MTV channel, which you get by subscribing to cable or satellite TV services. You will not be able to watch it on Hulu or any other free streaming service.

2023.05.02 21:47 Pokharelinishan Anticipating the release of Counter-Strike 2, here is a huge compilation of the changes and improvements that both I and the community are expecting to see in CS2.

This very long post contains some of the changes that the community and methinks will improve the overall CS experience. I have tried to provide links to popular reddit posts about the changes I cover. CS2 is all I can think about so I decided to write this book.
A few notes before diving in:
Here it goes, in no particular order:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
🗲a. Some people don't like the mini-map sound radius feature, because all the years of game sense of estimating when to stop or start running in maps is "ruined" now, because a low-skilled player can know that instantly (if s/he chooses to). I think this feature was much needed, because before if you wanted to practice what can be heard where, it would be so difficult. You'd perhaps need a mate with you to give you that feedback. But now this feedback mechanism is in-game, and now everyone will instantly know that T's on inferno banana sandbags can hear you running in speed-way (near CT-spawn). Maybe a right balance would be this: keeping this feature in practice modes, casuals, DM's, and such, but removing from MM. That way everyone has access to the same feedback mechanism that they can use to learn auditory aspects of maps and positions and then use that skill in their MM games. Think about it... considering the hours we put in this game, there's basically a small number of maps and positions many of us play, so it isn't a huge challenge to memorize, over time, all the places you'll be heard from, since many players ALREADY have a rough estimate of that without even having a direct feedback mechanism. With this change, players will get to actively and accurately practice timing their footsteps and then apply that to their game. I must say I do understand if they keep this feature as is, because it's not about if the sound information is available, it's about whether and how a player uses that information.
b. Consistent jump-throw binds was sorely needed, with the added grunts being the cherry on top, so no controversy there (AFAIK). Maybe the timing window (200 ms?) where I hit the correct jump throw needs to be adjusted to make it understandably difficult but not too much (it might be perfect right now and I would know that if lord gaben had gaben me a beta access).
🗲c. Follow recoil: Some people seem to argue that this makes controlling recoil easier. While it might be true to some extent, it definitely is not equivalent to learning and practicing your sprays. There is a little chance of people quickly reacting to the changes in crosshair position and then adjusting their mouse in real-time, without prior knowledge of the recoil's general direction and pattern. If these players are taking a fight with someone who has practiced their spray, I think we know how that fight likely goes. It's also unlike the issue with sound radius feature, where veterans and newbies will both know exactly where the sound will be heard instantaneously.
🗲d. Upgraded visuals of tracers: Here's my best impression of a CS newbie: "Ok I make shoot... game shows bullet go this path... there is bullet hole behind the bad guy, but bad guy no dead and i dead!? Weird. I don't like cs, imma switch to valorante." (See this reddit post. Also, perhaps valorant has the same issue, but you get my point). While I understand the argument that the inaccurate bullet tracers are there to prevent easy cheating, I can't shake the fact that in Valve's CS2 video (time-stamped), exactly when the voice says "what you see is what you get", the video focuses on the bullet and the tracer. All this argument perhaps started from the fact that tracers got a visual upgrade, along with this new "philosophy" of getting what we're seeing in cs2. I don't know jackshit about game development, so I'm just going to leave this statement from ZooL here:
Hopefully they find a better solution. I just hope they're not in a "ok whatever just copy the fixes from CS:GO", because the initial build of CS2 was pure af in terms of behaviors. Most CS:GO "duct-tape fixes" weren't included, I somehow hoped they'd investigate for better fixes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • (4) Circulating map pools in MM regularly, and providing "official support" to fun community game mods and circulating those regularly too (game modes like surf modes, kz, fun variations like warowl's videos on invisible enemy and mirrored maps, zombie modes, etc.) Perhaps, instead of making all of the fun game modes available all time, circulating these modes will keep the game fresh and dynamic. I login in one day and see that my favorite mode is here for a good few days or week. Similar to the idea of an operation, but unlike "get 50 kills with this gun" stuff. I personally haven't tried surf or kz maps, but would definitely do it if it's more easily accessible through a few clicks on the main menu.
  • (5) Better integration, UI, cleanup, and access to workshop maps and community servers.
  • (6) Improved radar, HUD, and 'tab' game stats. I like that they've brought important info closer to the eyes in the HUD, and love the kill feedback through player cards.
    • Maybe the idea of vision cones on the radar is not too big of an ask. (but potentially there's similar arguments like this again).
    • Nitpicking here but I think the current state of cycling stats in the 'tab' game stats could be improved further. I feel like both stat table contain important info, which could be made equally accessible, instead of one needing an additional click.
    • Additionally, bringing back the setting to show player number instead of icons in the top HUD would be nice. That way it's easier to know X vs X situation by a quick glance.
  • (7) Better DM and casual experience (I'll also say hostage and danger zone, even though I don't play those). Example: side switching at half time in both casual and retakes. Casual experience is not optimal right now. Perhaps have a dynamic defusal/hostage map pool for DM and casual. Right now dust 2 has it's own category because that's all people used to play (probably not the case nowadays). Perhaps switch the map up regularly, so that people get to queue mirage only for a few days, meanwhile dust2 will be along with other maps in the pool. Repeat that with other maps. The main reason I think this is an issue, is because during non-peak hours, the available players are split between the 4-5 maps in the groups and the servers are basically dead with half bots... and players probably don't want to keep playing dust2. So something fresh everyday.
  • (8) Better crosshair settings and options. For example, if anyone want to have the crosshair of the aug or sg553 crosshairs on all guns, it's simply not possible right now.
  • (9) Give credit/reward/incentive when it's due in MM and casual. For example: I get a solid 3k entry kill and all the round-end screen says is: "playerX spent $6650 that round". Case in point: Shroud got an ace in a CS2 game and all the screen says is "shroud killed an enemy while flashbanged". Shroud even addresses that himself. While that's a fine statement, I feel like these kinds of statements could be improved to better reward players. Another example: when I get 7k in one round of casual, all it says is I got 3k headshot kills. 7k is much better stat that I want people to know and for me to feel good than a measly 3k headshots. Highlight reel like overwatch is probably too much, but the fundamental idea is to reward players and let others know when someone makes a good play. Also these reward doesn't have to include into official stats like MVP or something. A simple sentence mentioning the good play or whatever which both teams can see (or just my team) is a good reward. After all, it's about the satisfaction. Perhaps also display fun stats like if someone gets a jumpkill or wallbang flashed headshot (not just on killfeed). But that might incentivize people to go for said kinds of kill attempts... maybe just for casual modes.
  • (10) Better item drops in casual and DM. I get 111 kills in a 10 minutes FFA deathmatch (tru story), and someone idling gets a case or a skin. I understand the randomness, but also slightly favoring better players wouldn't hurt. More incentive to play good. On that note, casual and dm stats pls. Not everyone has time to play mm. Sometimes people like to chill in casual...a low stakes gameplay. Just because people don't want to play mm, doesn't mean they shouldn't have access to stats and stuff. On the same topic, game should be "loving & respecting" all kinds of players... casuals, surfers, wingmen, hostage fans, office enjoyers, kz-ers, hard-core sweaty gamers (like yours truly), utility experts, pixel abusers, etc.
  • (11) Better detection of micro aggression, subtle griefing in mm communication. (just use AI or something lol)
    • On that note, not all teamkills are due to toxicity. Perhaps an option for the teammates to "forgive" said kill (I heard this from houngoungagne (I swear I wrote his name from memory.) But that might have issues too, for example: Toxic 4 stack vs solo. Someone from 4 stack runs into the molly thrown by the solo-queueuer. Rest of the teammates do not "forgive". He gets kicked after a few infractions.
    • Auto-muting teammates is perhaps one level of "punishment" for toxicity, but CS needs communication, so have to unmute eventually, and if the toxicity continues for that player, there perhaps should be additional punishments, whatever that may be (credit to Jeffangnge).
  • (12) Better demo viewer. Goes without saying.
  • (13) Would love to have all players play MM... Non-pros and pros alike. Imagine if you queue one day and you've got simple or zywoo or device in your MM game (provided the game is balanced, of course). Just imagine the impact it can have on a new aspiring player or to a simple gamer human. (Credit to machine. On that note, he also said this about source 2 (granted he had play-tested the game at that time, but still). I love the way he can understand and eloquently (duh) explain the thoughts and perspectives of someone who's relatively new to the game. Makes me wet. And I'm a proper man.)
    • My experience: I once joined Mr. Bad 'Sponge' Churchill's ancient DM and was so excited to when I one-tapped him a few times. I also once had Mr. fl0m as an opponent on a random anubis MM game, and my friend and I were so excited to play against him. I felt literally like a child.. all giddy. We checked his stream to confirm it was him but didn't stream-snipe I swear.
  • (14) More weapon balances for unused ones. Actually thinking about it, right now only a handful of guns are actually useful to use in mm and pro games. To be honest, if valve just god rid of some of them it won't affect the gameplay much, but again... skins and dollars. If we're stuck with them, then maybe rework their mechanisms so that they're at least useful. But then again there's all of the issues (as discussed by 3klikphilips in this video)
  • (15) Improve usefulness of a decoy grenade. Perhaps more variations in guns sounds. Not sure what else.
  • (16) Weapon animation. Nothing *needs* to change, but revisiting and updating the animations would be nice and add to the overall feel of CS2 as a "new game". Perhaps they've done that already but kept it hidden in the current limited test because there's no point in spoiling that right now. On that note, I don't think Valve plans to drip-feed all the new cool things with CS2, because that would limit the *bang* of a new game. Look at the state right now, I and others have, at times, almost forgot that CS2 is coming (just kidding its all I can think about.)
  • (17) Improving grenade trajectory preview feature. Should be obvious, but right now it only shows the place where the smoke lands when I do a standing throw. If I try a jump throw, the preview only shows the landing zone for a split second. I guess adding the ability to toggle between standing and jump throws would be good.
  • (18) Agent skins & visibility: not sure what the best solution is, but one good idea is to make it so that we see friends' agent skins, but not enemy agent skins (source). Therefore, the market for agent skins is still there, but it doesn't affect core gameplay. Besides, valve's earning millions from weapon skins already, why add something that is potentially "game-breaking"? I personally would rather not have these agent skins. Bloody Agent Miami Darryl's white head has confused me so many times when I just see his head popping somewhere I lost count. My brain takes an extra second to react, and I hate it every time. Also, people's argument that the agent skins don't really make a difference doesn't hold up when looking at the pro scene. There's a reason everyone agreed to use the default player models in pro-games (source)
  • (19) Dark mode for flash. Don't want to go blind.
  • (21) Ability/option to save all in-game settings in the steam cloud (source)
  • (22) Keep the occasional ridiculous ragdolls (source1, source2 (see what I did there? :D)
  • (23) Better and more accurate kill feeds. I've noticed in CSGO pro-games that even when a player sees the enemy through the smoke, it counts as a smoke-kill. Not sure if this can be properly fixed, but I'm guessing it should be easy now that the new volumetric smokes are same for everyone.
    • Additionally, I think there's a self-flash assist icon missing right now. I pop flash from inferno oranges and get 4k kills as a CT, but the kill feed doesn't show that they were flashed. I probably shouldn't get the flash-assist, but at least this should be shown in the kill feed.
      • Perhaps adding more kill feed icons, like jump-kill. But perhaps this may promote said kill attempts. CBA needed.
  • (24) Allowing practice and warm-up while queuing for a game (like overwatch?). Or, improving the current warmup modes. Giving choice to the players if they want to 1v1 with others in the server, or do aimbotz or other workshop maps, or surf, or kz, or default open map 5v5 mode.
  • (25) Ability to look up players based on nationality in my server region (not just those that are "looking to play"). I'm a foreign student living in the US. I initially used to struggle communicating high-stakes MM info properly in CS. Past me would have loved having that feature in finding people from my country who played CS in US.
  • (26) Improving weapon drop mechanism. I like the current throwing mechanism, but it doesn't work when there's someone else between the teammate who I want to drop, and me. Maybe increase the throw range based on who I am pointing the crosshair towards. Or just directly equip like valorantechildgame.
  • (27) I've felt the 1000$ bonus when a teammate leaves isn't enough of a balance. Maybe playing around with this aspect is needed. Maybe bringing bots back is a good idea, if bots have been reworked (just use AI lol). CBA needed.
  • (30) Fix issues with "newly" added pinging feature. Example: If I'm really close to an angle holding with an awp, and I ping to mark enemies, it pings the wall close to me, instead of where I'm looking it which is generally far from me. This works fine when holding the pixel width angle from nuke CT box to outside red container, but doesn't work in many places.
  • (32) 🗲Upgrading the current rock-paper-scissor-lizard-spock interaction of nades (credit to SpunJ for the term usage)🗲
    • Some of the current interaction physics: smoke extinguishes molly, nade blows smoke, getting naded and shot slows down players in molly, flash blinds and deafens so molly more dangerous, multiple mollies/nades increase damage, etc. Extra: The Inferno
    • Time for crazy interaction ideas. This doesn't need to be considered seriously (or should it?) Of course a proper cost-benefit analysis should be done before implementing.
      • If a player is directly between a smoke and a popping flash, for a very brief instance, a player on the opposite side of that smoke will see a silhouette of that player. Something like this (NSFW) or this thumbnail from MrMaxim's video BUT only for a flash and for a split second. Having this for a molly is probably definitely "game-breaking".
      • Throwing a decoy in a molly produces a burning sound or like in CS2 a hiss-hiss sound (love this update) for brief moments.
      • Two overlapping CS2 smokes reduce the clearance impact of an incoming single nade. One single CS2 smoke can cover Dust 2 long cross, but if T's stack two of them, then CT's incoming single nade doesn't do as much "blowing" (this seems like a cool term for this phenomenon). But if they stack two nades, it blows normally (like one nade on one smoke). Perhaps needlessly complicated idea, but I could see it working. CBA needed.
End comments: I would also love to see someone popular make a video of all the little good quality of life improvements that has already been made and that can be made to CS. I feel the efforts put by devs into those little things should not go unnoticed or be barely covered. Those kinds of videos (and posts like this) can be both as a resource for general community to think, brainstorm, and discuss, as well as for devs incase there's something there that they're missing. I'm sure devs know more than all of us, but someone somewhere might have a good idea that they can build upon. And I also hate the fact I see so many good ideas that are buried deep into reddit comments which gets lost.
If you haven't seen it, here's a good 50 minutes video of analysts/casters geeking about CS2. (many of which were part of the playtest at Valve's HQ).
If valve devs are reading this (I'm sure they won't because nobody's gonna ready a book on reddit and this post is going to fade into obscurity), thanks for all the good work <2 (because people here say y'all can't count to 3). Can't wait to play CS2 and can't wait to see the evolution of CS2 over time. Also gib beta access pls lord gaben I spent A FULL DAY working on this post. With this efficiency, I'd finish my whole PhD in 2 years, but shame my topic is not on CS2.

How to Guide
A1C Dirk Diggler has arrived to Nellis AFB and will be working at the Red Horse Squadron. He has completed his CDCs and now he wants to enroll in college. He has no idea where to start because no one in his family has attended college before
After doing some research he decides he wants to attend Penn State, but isn't sure on major just yet so he's going to take some CLEP exams to knock out some of the general education credits and then apply for Fall semester 2024 at Penn state
  1. He sets up an account on Modern States so he can study for the CLEP exams
  2. He looks at the CLEP School Transfer policy to see which exams Penn State accepts
  3. He'll go to the base education office to schedule the exams
  4. Once he has completed the CLEP exams, he'll order a transcript direct from them, and have copies sent to CCAF and Penn State (When he applies)
  5. He'll order a copy of his CCAF transcript to make sure his BMT and Tech School training is documented on the transcript and request a copy be sent to Penn state
  6. This summer he will apply to the Penn State World Campus using their application by their due dates
  7. He'll set up an account on studentaid.gov but will have to wait until Oct 1st to apply for aid for the 2024-2205 school year
  8. Once he is enrolled, he can apply for TA before scheduling classes
