considering it was sort of a first of it's kind deal, I can forgive them for not fleshing it out more. Before launch there was NO way I would've bet that it was going to be fun but it ended up being damn fun.

Also depend on the age of the game and if there are more modern alternatives available.

well he's related to a black football player which increases the chances significantly

I'm not asking them to stay in the closet. I'm asking them to not ask for special treatment as their own niche within an already niche community.

if it isn't targeted at a gay person for being gay (which is most of it isn't) then it's just harmless smacktalk.

Gamer as a subset of "people" is an already established subset just like Gay is a subset of "people"

Wow, I'm just saying that I feel like the lgbt community is pretty safe (compared to most of the world) within the gaming community without standing out as its own subculture.

it'd be like if I made a Straight-gamers event (Straimers?). It'd be damn offensive, protest worthy.

Personally I'm not a fan of singling out the LGBT community as a target audience. It just reinforces the notion that they are "different" than the rest of us gamers.

Relying on more than 1 NTP server that is poorly admined (that server is still supporting the MONLIST command making it a prime target) is probably the best b

It was never confirmed. just lots of rumors

It all depends on the deal. if Twitch is still independent (like Oculus seems to be) then nothing will change except their presence and marketability.

I'm no expert either but I keep hearing heresay that it was ntp

NTP amplification is pretty simple, so is SNMP (which is waaaay worse) without needing a huge botnet to pull it off.

shit, they don't need a botnet if they just NTP amplify.

I don't even delete. I tried once but I was already 3k deep at the time.

I figured, but that was a budding theory.

they can't afford not to be after the whole PSN hack a while back

the theory is that they're using something called "NTP Amplification" which means that a single request can be sent to an NTP server that then sends a huge ass packet to another server as long as the user IP is spoofed properly.
