*Discord keeps offering me to stream the game despite I closed it 3 hours ago* Go home, Discord, you're drunk

Just use Pyramiden's trainer and you're safe AND you can go as fast as we can

> to make it even weirder, as soon as a new kind of behaviour happens to one of us, it happens to all of us within a matter of a week There's one explanation for this: pseudo-rng in old games influenced by your processors clock speed driftings or the universal unix epoch time in seconds

I understand nothing... I'm sorry xD

old games used pseudo-randomness in a way simpler way than we do in todays games. If they needed random events/movements/drops/... they checked the current clock speed drifting or the unix epoch time (seconds starting from the first of january 1970) and made a decision based on that.

You can think of a simple example like this: ``` 1. Enemy dies, how much loot should the player get? 2. Check the current clock speed drifting. if it's bigger than 5ns drop 3 items, if it's bigger than 10ns drop 1 item, drop 2 items otherwise ```

or if the unix seconds are even/uneven/a root of 3, etc etc

they also used your GPU/CPU temperatures or other stuff that had a natural fluctuation in it

holy shet lmao

In the browser/mobile "Asterix and Friends" you can go use the well to get water. If I'm not mistaken, per one click it's guaranteed to give you 1 bucket of water, has a low chance of giving you a fish and a very low chance of giving you a few Roman helmets or Resistance Points. How does that work? More example from that game... I can gather rocks by... well, breaking rocks. One click on a rock guarantees giving you 1 unit of rock, and has a low chance of giving you coal, salt (I ALWAYS feel like I need more salt), iron or (very rarely) gold. I can gather wood by chopping trees. One click on a tree or group of trees guarantees giving you 1 unit of wood. When you click on groups of trees, there's a low chance of getting a mistletoe, a rabbit, a feather, a centurion (don't ask me why centurions hide in forests by themselves), mushrooms, resin, strawberry and... parsley, I think? I can gather straw by working in a field. One click on a field guarantees giving you 1 unit of straw, and has a low chance of giving you flax, a rabbit, oats or a beetroot. I can understand if nobody cares because this isn't an action game, but sometimes I feel like monologuing 😅

Uhhh... I don't think I'm good at time math

I haven't even had Math lessons since I finished school... 🤪

ouch my head and then i'll have to count time without loads

- You know you can use the calculator in Windows, right? - True, but I feel guilty about not being able to count fast in my head due to lack of practice

AND I already found an error in my calculations... Edit: I remembered that I got a "3" for the Math exam and now I feel even more guilty

Ok, if my calculations are correct, my run with loads is: 2 hours 1 minute 12 seconds

The loads are the times when the game loads a world and a part of the world, correct? When I don't record, I may not see any voids with "loading, please wait", but when I do, they may appear, obviously there's more work for the PC
