I am not a C developer, but I found the "helper has a terrible name" and "it's not clear what the helper is doing" arguments a bit weak.

Who in they right mind does not think the helper creates a 32 bytes word by putting the 16 bytes of the first argument followed by the 16 bytes of the second one ?

I am not sure about this conspiracy theory of yours: Microsoft does not want third party applications in the kernel space anymore.

Battlefield 6's beta has only been running for a day, but it's already suffering from a FPS curse with cheaters breaking out the wallhacks in c/games@lemmy.world

Thanks for the lengty review, this game is also on my radar.

There has been a big review in the french game magazine CanardPC: they praised its originality but warned for its difficulty and "unfairness".

Thanks for the thorough explanation!
