Cool, we need to do those Guardian missions and then try Wingman. The Premier and comp we can do with a team pending on whom will be playing.

Last night, almost everyone was playing New World.
 
CSGO waiting times are a lie. Premier is still dead, Blacksite is still dead. Why does Valve insist on keeping the dead?

Gamers Nexus Store? People must be buying tons of merch!

A couple cat hairs have gotten into my mouse and no amount of vacuuming is getting them out. Doesn't bother the mouse but It's annoying me more than it should. Just holey mice things.

Maybe you should spent more time with your mouse?

Tonight 20:30-21:00?
 
Going by the CSGO active player base, the new operations has done nothing to be brought the players back. Then, again, new games have released, but I believe this is Valve's poorest timing to release an operation pass. They also continue to pay gate their stats' system, though it was introduced with the previous pass and these was mechanics which was previously available in-game, but made look good now.

Not to take away, the operation was the top seller on Steam not too long ago, but players aren’t playing. Maybe it is our region…
 
Kernel-level anti-cheat is nothing new, but it has always been despised at large by the gaming community, and the community has always won the argument in having kernel-level anti-cheat removed. Then Valorant came along, and Riot insisted through all criticism with keeping Vanguard alive and well, and they ultimately convinced their gaming community that kernel-level anti-cheat is good to have.

So... Warzone, Activision announced that Warzone will also now be enabled with a kernel-level anti-cheat called Richochet, and that it will also be included in Vanguard (the game, not the Valorant anti-cheat).

There are many multiplayer games currently with kernel-level anti-cheat,

EAC, being the most renowned. Easy Anti-Cheat which is now owned by Epic Games.

It is clear that publishers and developers are now going to lengths, and against the consumer's interest, to best protect their 'online' IPs. I understand this, online cheating has become a pandemic, and it was long ignored by these same companies whom now want to install drivers on your system to protect their property.

Which brings me to the question, how long until Valve (VAC) and Blizzard (Warden) enhance their respective anti-cheats to kernel-level, and also a second question, do you trust these kernel-level anti-cheats having access to scan your system, engaging in search and destroy tactics, and returning metadata?
