Games / Re: Rocket League - Autumn Update 28th

« on: September 29, 2017, 01:59:05 AM »

update dropped

stuff's broke (per /r/RocketLeague):
 - farmstead's walls are black on mac/linux ports
 - xbox players crash if navigating the menu too quickly
 - some xbox players are experiencing even worse performance issues
 - pc players are crashing left/right
 - season 4 rewards are suddenly not rendering correctly
 - DFH stadium's new day map is too bright on lower video settings
 - servers went down for a bit post-update
 - ball trails lengthen/shorten depending on FPS (w:hat:)
 - you're now punished if you leave a comp game after a teammate has already left
guess that's what happens too when you fuel all your money to esports events instead of Q&A  

don't solo queue either for the first week or so, it's a soft reset, incredibly mixed bag of players right now. i've lost most of my placement matches so far because, as a plat 1, im being pit against plat 3/diamond 1 players and, of course, im getting my ass beaten. doubly so because i don't have friends who play the game. i've got the ability, i just ain't got no one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

looking forward to the standardized arenas, forget wasteland and arc in competitive lol

would still like to see the originals in casual modes tho, doubt they're going to do that though considering what happened to neo tokyo

what's the extent of the randomness? i can never get on to capture traffic when this crap strikes
we could just drop all traffic inbound from that set

I'm not sure if it was a hit, I did not get any emails or anything about the attack during that time, the CPU was very high and it was at a constant percentage for some reason (25% - blockland never hits it that high on the VPS, max is usually 20% when it starts up) when I checked it a few minutes ago but nothing was coming out of trace other than a loop - but that can't be the problem.

this was at 3:07AM central, not a few minutes ago lol

keep trying, you're not going to get far


this is probably a botnet, all the locations are random

that first one, in fact, is from Eastern Michigan University

Game Modes / Jumping Simulator

« on: August 30, 2017, 11:03:18 PM »

hosted this for a couple of weeks (see: leaderboard before i shut it down), it's an infinitely generating "stairway-to-heaven" type gamemode that uses floating cubes


https://github.com/TheBlackParrot/blockland-jumping-simulator
https://github.com/TheBlackParrot/blockland-jumping-simulator/blob/master/Gamemode_Jumping_Simulator.zip

jump on cubes and go high

if something's wrong, i'll get around to fixing it at some point. nothing should be in need of fixing though, hence me releasing it.
