  • Sega alleges infringements of the following five patents: No. 5930111, No. 6402953, No. 6891987, No. 7297361 and No. 7411307, all of which are registered in Japan.

    I tried checking out that first patent there, 5930111 and who boy… is this shit hard to read

    An information processing device includes: a control means for causing the player to acquire a content in response to a game execution instruction from the player; an extraction means for extracting content groups of the same type from contents possessed by the player, according to an instruction from the player; a selection means for automatically selecting fusion source contents and resource contents from each of the extracted content groups; and a fusion means for collectively fusing, for each of the fusion source contents, one of the resource contents of the same type as the each of the fusion source contents. The selection means selects, as the resource contents, contents having a rarity at or below a specific level, from each of the extracted content groups.


  • At least it appears to be something that gets triggered. In theory, if a node is not under attack or heavy usage, this isn’t a consideration. Doesn’t seem to be a perfect solution as it still slows the traffic of legitimate users in the event of an attack. I don’t know the full details, but in the worse case it makes it easier to semi-DoS, maybe not by fully making a node unresponsive, but by making the service so painfully slow that users may give up on it.




  • I liked world most too. It has several things rise is lacking. One of which is a serious threat imo. Like, the first time my party ran into anjanath. It just exploded out of some shrubbery and most of his attacks were insta kill. Just having this random threat helped with the world building, suspense on hunts and also gave a clear milestone when you finally get the hunt to take him down. Then there was blood puppy or bazelgeuse, they are all super memorable because of how much of a passive sorta threat they were.













  • I don’t think this is possible through DNS filtering because it is your home lemmy instance showing you the results. You could block specific communities, turn off NSFW posts in your profile, or use a filter in Ublock Origin. These are all client-side solutions and would not auto-apply to a whole network. I don’t think there is a feature to block posts from a whole instance without being in charge of your own instance and de-federating. I would wager a per-user instance block will be coming down the pipe eventually.
