Banana@kbin.socialtoGaming@beehaw.org•What are some of your LEAST favorite game mechanics?

1 year ago- Excessive grinding or padding in a game just for the sake of it or for microtransaction reasons.
- Microtransaction and pay-to-win models in full price $70 games…
- Overuse of Quick time events Press E to dodge etc etc
- Escort missions when developers want to pad their game out
- Terrible stealth mechanics when an enemey spots me when im standing still in a bush from the other side of the map
In all seriousness, no one is talking about this, but this is the one disadvantage of open source software being developed by volunteers, we don’t know exactly how the admin accounts were hacked but the XSS stuff is really basic stuff, none of those fields were sanatised at all, and it makes me concerned what else has been missed, obviously the advantage of open source is in time this stuff can get fixed, but this is what happens when loads of people who aren’t experts contribute to a site.
In comparison to sites where there is a fully hired developer team the quality of the code is significantly better. I really hope the passwords were hashed on these instances and the hackers didn’t get plain text passwords or anything really bad like this.
One thing and credit to Ernest, as I’ve contributed there he does very thorough code reviews and his quality of code is very good, its why im confident kbin won’t be hacked.
