World record DDoS attack in progress, targetting Google, OpenDNS, and Dyn.

They've managed to knock out hundreds of sites, and people trying to use any of those services as their DNS resolver will find the internet completely unusable today.


And yet hilariously enough, I'm seeing no defects. All of my equipment is answering correctly, because they speak for themselves when it comes to DNS the only impact the attacks have on them is that people who have never visited my stuff before will have some delay in looking up the glue records directing them to my servers in order to complete their requests.

didnt you mention the forum's server runs in here/malaysia? I mean ryuu said that the attack are directed to US and EU servers so it's pretty fine here unless shark season decide to bite the coastal net cables again.

I don't care, it's brilliant~

I'm not sure, reverse comparability which is a running feature on most Nintendo consoles (I'm looking at you PS4 and Xbone) seemed like an impossibility on the NX since it lack alot of the gimmick that was present on previous gen consoles

Hehhh.  Someone hasn't played Magicka before it seems.  If I only knew what the original reference was from, so sad. Oh wait. Monty Python.

Magicka 2.  Highest difficulty is Bananas.  "The safe word is banana" is the achievement for beating it on "BANANAS!" difficulty.  Which involves enemies regenerating health rapidly, having 2-4x max health and you having half health.  As just a few points.  As enemies also deal 2x damage.  This all while enemies can often one shot you while playing on easy difficulty.

I just spammed the lightning spell after I got it, against enemy mages. And anything else that I wanted dead super fast.

I forgot what I used for crowd control... Maybe the mines. Can't clearly recall. (I know I used them for emergency healing)

I'd enjoy being right but I'm guilty of using discord a lot too.
My only excuse is that dividing my attention between gaming, school, and being an admin on an active discord server means I have little to none for forums.

honestly. been trying to avoid Discord as much as physically possible. partly because i knew that there are at least 2 groups that would want me to be there... and i really really do not wanna end up in the loop of constantly having to read everything or be out of the loop again like it was back in the day. but its as they say. once you go to the nexus. a part of you stays with it.. or at least that is how i felt.

Yeah I mostly use discord for gaming, it's nice to finally have a quality hang-out for mechwarrior.

Oh i bet. i personally have been wanting to actually check out and see if i could get into a battletech game somewhere. but i also know. i am horrible at anything turn based. warhammer 30K tabletop was introduced rather poorly and i have only been introduced to the battletech universe through mechwarrior 3. part of me feels i may accidentally end up going in with a bit of a spoiled viewpoint.

I actually got the owner of the server I admin for into battletech, we've done 3 or so games in megamek and it's pretty good fun. Megamek is harsh to go into blind though.
