Valve seems to have quietly rolled out a major upgrade to their Anti-Cheat system and it’s apparently wrecking havoc on cheat providers (lemmy.ml)

I never cheat in multiplayer. But if a single-player game has a "hacking" minigame, I'm absolutely loading up Ghidra & GDB and figuring out how to actually hack around it. Pretty much always harder than just playing the minigame, but more fun.

oh god. When I played System Shock 2 for the first time, I couldn't figure out how the hacking puzzles worked. I look up guides and asked for advice. Got told to gitgud by someone who didn't play the game, then got told they were pure rng guided by the hacking stat. I saved scummed that shit. Don't present me with something that looks like a puzzle, but isn't.
