@serene tulip it's more likely someone contacted support and convinced them to reset the password without verifying identity
Twitter
hasty kernel
I mean, if thats what happened, then the e-mail verification wouldnt have helped either
Since that implies that the attacker in question argued that they lost access to their email and need to change it this way
Though then I wonder how they got the sufficient information to do that
Because while doing that is possible for pretty much any platform, they usually ask for a lot of things to ensure its the person in question
hasty kernel
Or they just had the original password, logged in and changed it that way
serene tulip
honestly, that's my guess
hasty kernel
It would explain a lot, and since people dont tend to have passwords for every single login and instead reuse some of them, any security leak from any other login couldve caused it
serene tulip
yeah, I've been using last pass ever since like, all my accounts got hacked one day
learn my lesson
hasty kernel
Incidentally, probably how that steam account I didnt even know I had got hacked
serene tulip
copper lark
on the topic of passwords and stuff
i keep getting origin emails saying theyve changed my password
im too sus of it to click the link they give me so i change my password through the actual thing
ionic viper
my origin account got 'hacked' once and when i got it back my origin name was just a mishmash of symbols for the longest time bc i hadn't set a security question and therefore, when they set one, i couldn't answer it to get the name changed back
"what's the answer to your security question?" "i don't know bc i didn't set it" "are you SURE you don't know"

I guess compared to the deluge of boy bands we had to struggle with, theyre not that bad
copper lark
pls
hasty kernel
What can I say, Im not a big fan of boybands
No wait, the one I was thinking of was Big Time Rush
I actually dont remember the Jonas Brothers
wide ember
eventually they will become middle-aged men bands anyway unless they have elixir of youth
hope they will just get better and better as that comes
hasty kernel
Honestly the only right progression is to go punk or hard rock
Dont end up like Maroon 5
velvet fjord
"don't end up like maroon 5" is one of the few parts of my life that I try to keep consistent
hasty kernel
Its odd though, I cant think of many bands that got better as time went on
Usually bands peak in the second-fourth album for me
wide ember
usually two things happens: the band starts overestimating the quality of their own works, or they run out of ideas but have to keep publishing for money to live their life
hasty kernel
I mean thats sometimes true
But I think its more that the style changes
And the new style doesnt seem to mesh as well
wide ember
that's indeed in the top 5 things that happen too
hasty kernel
I can think of 2 bands off the top of my head that got better with time, Rammstein and Die Ärzte
Maybe Billy Talent, but Ive not heard their latest album yet
wide ember
with mother mother too maybe, since the band was actively trying to get more mentally healthy
hasty kernel
Oh and Assemblage 23, but thats not a band
Thats a music project made by one guy
But Endure was definitely his best album yet
wide ember
another top 5 things that happen is professional burnout happens but they keep on pushing through it anyway
hasty kernel
Really german bands are the only ones that got better with time that Im aware of
wide ember
goes with the cultural mentality of continuous perfection of self I guess
hasty kernel
Youd be surprised how little truth there is in that stereotype
wide ember
it is definitely far from being applied everywhere, just like the french don't actually care that much about equality and american about freedom
but I know for sure that it is there enough that SAP ERP can be relatively easily used in germany but not in north america
hasty kernel
What can be relatively easily used?
wide ember
a full-transparency entreprise resource planning system
hasty kernel
Curious
I can just tell you, german banks are insanely inefficient and frankly, useless
wide ember
the system does not require efficiency, it requires precision, or rather the lack of errors
hasty kernel
Yeah they dont have that either
Also, hm, the newest Billy Talent album isnt doing it for me
wide ember
they made SAP though? and now two different people complained to me how difficult it is to apply SAP in north america
jonas brothers can only reach middle aged men band status both because of their work and continuous fan support
hasty kernel
I think its the riffs
The riffs arent quite as amazing
Lets see if the remaining songs change my opinion
wide ember
I feel like the taste of the fans also change with time, so even if the band doesn't change their style or quality, you could still lose taste in that
hasty kernel
Kinda? But usually the old stuff still holds up
Like, even now, I still think Dead Cant Testify, Saint Veronika, Man Alive and Surrender are great Billy Talent songs
But somehow Afraid of Heights is not doing it for me

I don't like game/movie trailers from channels other that the game/movie studio something about it makes it look less genuine

I have the feeling now having watched the KH3 dlc trailer, that's not what we're gonna see at e3 especially since it came from an orchestral world tour

For something that's right at the end of a concert, it's not the worst
If that's what they show at e3 however I will be dissapointed

Can't wait for that janky combat that felt horrible when I played on the SEA servers

Yeah ok I cant get that
Even with the hella amount of lag I had, the combat felt nice and smooth
honest glade
We'll have to agree to disagree on it. I'm just super extra crispy about that game. I don't like how Sega handled it, I don't like how they handled PSU, the combat felt awful, and I think the game's age (while limited) shows.
hasty kernel
Well, if its not your thing thats alright
Im just really hyped
For me the game had the best full-action combat of all
And still does
The only reason I stopped playing was the hassle and the fact that half of the game is untranslated
And Phantom looks especially great
Even though Im sure its not gonna keep its german PA names
Especially since one of them is called "Genocide"

tales of arise anyone ,,,,,
honest glade
I'm waiting to see gameplay of it before I formulate any feelings on it.
The landscapes are beautiful and that's nice and all... But I need to know if that combat's gonna be booty or not.
And also whether or not the rumored claim that Arise will be a "return to classic Tales gameplay" is true.
hasty kernel
I mean, we saw a bit of gameplay
Anyway, it looks interesting
Ill probably play it
kindred delta
Arise seems less like Berseria's combat.
like immediately based on what I see, it looks more like an evolution of Vesperia / Xillia.
but there could be influence from Berseria.
I really don't like Graces, Zestiria or Berseria's combat.
Graces' combat is the pits when it comes to the Tales gameplay.
That game isn't even worth playing, it's better to watch a playthrough to save yourself the trouble olo
(also Hideo Baba legitimately ruined Tales imo, glad he's gone)

mine was usually Earthquake, Surf, then two out of three from a fighting move (usually Brick Break), a poison move, or a electric move (Thunderbolt if more special and Thunderpunch if more physical I think?), though I don't remember her set in gen 1

speaking of pidgey a teenage sparrow boy came to me to say something that might be about the rain coming so I better take shelter
it was not the food beg call, and it was not the go away call, it was very friendly and yet the sentence had the sound that I believe is the equivalent of the verb to go
came to say this to me twice, first time he said I didn't budge so he came back and said it again, then I picked stuff up and went inside, and soon after the rain started

copper lark
the lady w the flower eye is hot
hasty kernel
I guess Ill get a bit more use out of my PS4 next year
Cuz Im not gonna be able to run those games on PC
sharp grail
drakengard 1 is confusing as heck and drakengard 3 is... less so but it has a lot of unfunny jokes
not that I don’t love them both to death
sharp grail
oh wait you played automata pretty recently right
copper lark
yeah!!
sharp grail
was it bc of xiv
copper lark
nope! ive been wanting to play it for ages
then after i played it and watched nier gestalt they announced yoko taro was working w ffxiv
sharp grail

copper lark

sharp grail
tbh if the collab makes more ppl play automata I’ll be very happy
sharp grail

copper lark

sharp grail

I hope Sega does SAGA after that.

thats a real pokemon ??
copper lark
pokemon sword and shield makes me feel proud to be a londoner
hasty kernel
Then watchdogs reminds you of the future
copper lark
watchdogs reminds me of the present bro wdym
that clip where they were in camden? nothing is different
hasty kernel
I dont think the megacorps have taken over quite yet
upbeat scroll
watchdogs will definitely have takes on the politics in britain
what im curious about is whether sword and shield will have takes on that
upbeat scroll
wooloo: they told us the NHS would have more funding, what happened to that huh?
copper lark
yamper: now that theresa may is gone we have to make sure boris johnson doesnt touch 10 downing street

https://i.redd.it/at3pyp5nql331.jpg Can this be a thing that exists?
hasty kernel
Oh yeah about that
Ubisoft said that they "didnt want to have politics in their game"
serene tulip
So their game contains literally no conflict whatsoever?
You have no choice, I will interpret politics into your game, death of the author, jerks.
upbeat scroll
all games are political!
serene tulip
I feel like there's a level of simplicity where interpreting politics into the game becomes more projection than actual interpretation
coarse siren
I mean, having politics in a game is unavoidable because it can just be as simple as what you believe
serene tulip
But unless Ubisoft is making Pong 2019, I think we're safe
coarse siren
Pong is about the struggle of communism under a tyrannical rule or something
upbeat scroll
is there a meaningful difference between seeing a theme in a piece of art and that theme actually being in that piece
coarse siren
I think so
upbeat scroll
pong is a deconstruction of the game ping pong
coarse siren
Will there ever be a deconstruction of a deconstruction
Ubisoft makes Pong and it glitches so bad that it is literally unwinnable
serene tulip
Which in and of itself is a deconstruction of tennis which like all sports translates back to martial prowess and thus pong is problematic
coarse siren
Good thing I love Problematic media 
upbeat scroll
when you translate a game to a virtual medium like this, you preserve what you believe are the essential elements of the original game
the developers of pong have communicated what they think of as important parts of ping pong by making the game
and the same is true for table tennis, yeah
coarse siren
I wonder if there is a way to mess up Pong, given that Pong should be impossible to mess up
Like, how terrible do you have to be to mess up something so basic and simplistic?
upbeat scroll
multiplayer pong is pretty basic, but singleplayer pong has an AI
how unfair can your opponent be to you or itself
how hard should pong be to win
upbeat scroll
elderly philosophers sit in a circle around an ancient computer debating the ideal difficulty of pong
coarse siren
I hope they all dress up like Aristotle, Plato, and all those other philosophers and just stare intensely at an old, blocky, huge computer, debating such a thing.
coarse siren
nO poLItICS
Didn't the game they said that had "No politics" in was about civil war or something
upbeat scroll
yeah like, a modern civil war around washington DC
serene tulip
They are either incredibly ambitious in their attempts to avoid politics or arguing in bad faith.
coarse siren
I think it's the latter
serene tulip
God, when I lived in nebraska it was amazing what folks thought wasn't political just because it was the predominant opinion
upbeat scroll
next year they're gonna make a game where you kill the president of the united states and they're gonna call it completely apolitical
serene tulip
homogeneity is scary
coarse siren
To get ~political~
The types of politics that don't cater to the sort of audience they seem to be anxious about won't sell games, so they have to deny politics in a game so severely about politics just to make it seem like everything in the game is unintentional and it's just there for fun sakes
I have a friend who lives in Nebraska. She's a sweetheart
serene tulip
My sympathies
coarse siren
LOL
serene tulip
Before I moved there I thought the fox-watchin' republican was a charicature
Like, I didn't think anyone fully believed fox news
serene tulip
yeah
coarse siren
I don't live in the US so I don't really know anything about the stereotypes like that
copper lark
same
upbeat scroll
its the most popular news channel here
serene tulip
Well, given Russia's geopolitical intervention I'm sure y'all have some far-right parties that are similar enough
coarse siren
Oh I know Fox News is absolutely terrible
I live in Ontario, and our newly elected (Mayor? I think) is basically Donald Trump
coarse siren
Smaller, just as stupid, and took a selfie at his brother's funeral or something along that ilk.
I don't think I could handle living in the US in this current climate, it just feels too intense and scary. Maybe I'm just wrongly assuming, so correct me if I'm wrong.
serene tulip
Yeah
upbeat scroll
the US is big, the climate varies
serene tulip
Also yeah
I'm honestly tempted to like, try and move myself to some country, but emigrating is hard
coarse siren
Emigration is extremely difficult, true that.
I do not want to live under the anxiety of whether or not I'll finally leave a country ever again
serene tulip
actually, emigrating is pretty easy if you don't have a lot of money you're trying to take with you
Its immigrating to a place after emigrating that's difficult 😛
coarse siren
Emigration for us was difficult, that's all I'll say about it
serene tulip
all you have to do to emigrate is to show up at an american embassy with your passport and go, "I renounce my citizenship" and I'm sure there's some paperwork to fill out
enihau
I have a doctor's appointment to get to
upbeat scroll
do you have doctorfear
hasty kernel
The whole "no politics" thing is probably because a sizeable chunk of the people buying their games fall on the right, and the games people call "political" are the ones that show resistance to far right movements or governments
upbeat scroll
i guess you could call that "political correctness gone too far"
kindred delta
oh man
I love that Grant Kirkhope did remix something for Smash.
Really glad that they let him in on this and remixed the song for Banjo's trailer and the game too.
Smash really is a celebration of Video Games.
copper lark
h
rewatching that ffxiv trailer
i have questions but maybe im not far enough in the story to answer them myself?
coarse siren
I can't wait to play FF14 after my exam tomorrow to destress
But I have no clue what is going on with the FF14 story because I just started playing it seriously and I'm pretty much always sleep deprived when I play it
copper lark
right
coarse siren
I got to like level... 30 something and then nearly slammed my head on the desk because the main quest story is one level above my actual level and I was too tired to do a dungeon
copper lark
gjfdkgfd mOOD
i say im new all the time but i ve been playing for over a year and a half now
coarse siren
I've just played World of Warcraft before FF14 but I hate the current version of WoW
So I'm trying FF14 out because I get to be a cat.
coarse siren
Wowhead,
What about wowhead?
I feel like I both understand and absolutely 100% cannot comprehend anything about FF14 and I'm fine with that.
coarse siren
... B world
Behemoth???
I forgot
It's a world that the first time I tried to make my character on, I told my friend it's not available and she said " Just try again. "
copper lark
yeah thats ffxiv
coarse siren
So I have a character there now
coarse siren
I just wanna level my dragoon up to max,
copper lark
ooooh dragoon
coarse siren
I wanna live my fantasy of being Kain Highwind except as a black-haired cat person
coarse siren
Speaking of, my friend was like "I'm giving you money." and I was like "you don't need to." but she barreled through me and said "I have. a million gil. take my money."
so now I have 100K gil and idk what the use is other than teleporting.
coarse siren
Why do I need to buy food when I can eat insects for free
coarse siren
Insects
coarse siren
Also I think my server is so populated that there are no houses available
copper lark
she 
coarse siren
She's cute!
coarse siren
I can't believe in an economy where houses are full or expensive, FF14 is living out my fantasy of living in an economy....... where houses are full or expensive.
It's like I never left
coarse siren
copper lark
coarse siren
I have Nier and Nier Automata, I feel like I should play them for the newest expansion [which name I forgot]
copper lark
shadowbringers
coarse siren
Thank you
coarse siren
Okay but I have them, and I would love to play them to finish
copper lark
you should
coarse siren
You are absolutely correct
However instead I'm replaying Pyre so that I can show it off to my friend who has never seen Pyre before
copper lark
valid
coarse siren
Said friend also hates me because Pyre hurts her
She loves the characters, even if she's skeptical at first.
It's great!
copper lark
gfdkgjfd
coarse siren
So... yeah, that's my FF14 feelings so far basically
ARR's dungeons are kind of not very good so far
copper lark
ARR isnt great ill be honest
towards the end is where the story picks up
and heavensward? its so good.
coarse siren
What, are you telling me that being part of a Banquet
And running around like a chicken with its head cut off
Isn't engaging story?
coarse siren
If I have to do that banquet quest again I will die. Spiritually.
I'll go to the Country and just sit there staring at corn
copper lark
i cant even remember it
coarse siren
It's a lot of busy work
hasty kernel
I dont like the bunnygirls
hasty kernel
They dont look like they fit in with FFXIV
They look like something you would see in TERA
copper lark
coarse siren
They're from FF12 though, and you might only feel that way because FF14 has a bit more of a cartoonish, anime look than FF12 did
hasty kernel
Plus theyre a bit too skimpy for my taste
coarse siren
that's video games
copper lark
WEll i am enjoying them
coarse siren
I've not seen the FF14 Viera yet
hasty kernel
I mean, fair enough
coarse siren
I only know that in FF12 the Viera looked really good
copper lark
they look like the ff12 viera but
coarse siren
But then again I liked FF12's artstyle in general
hasty kernel
coarse siren
... ah,
copper lark
but yeah
hasty kernel
Thats the screenshot from the trailer
chilly briar
@copper lark I love and support her
copper lark
thank you!!!!!
coarse siren
But I still don't dislike the viera
copper lark
👀
hasty kernel
So you can see my issue with them
chilly briar
you're targeting me... I know it
coarse siren
Yeah, definitely don't blame you
coarse siren
The Viera in FF12 looked a bit more severe/tired than the Viera in FF14
chilly briar
I don't have it installed and I have terrible internet atm ;-;
coarse siren
Stormblood gives you Heavensward, right?
chilly briar
al;sdkjfa;lskdjfas
copper lark
