@sand flare nice of you to spread the news but that's not the case https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/7x0cwc/can_you_get_your_account_hacked_through_discord/
as long as you don't click on suspcious links to external websites you're fine
also anyone who does get a questionable friend request can report to discord
proud flicker
That's why you ask for permission before adding people, folks
tranquil bay
its like when people always spread this stuff on steam, that x users are hackers, like. most of these people are not professional hackers and will need information from you to be able to do anything. dont click things you dont trust.
north hamlet
also the easiest way to hack anything, by pros or otherwise, is to trick someone into just telling you what you want
the weakest link in security is almost always a user
tranquil bay
yeah lol. the vast majority of the time people claimed they were hacked, they gave the person their info in some way or another.

Welcome back to FoxHope guide to everything. Today we cover the topic of how to be safe on the Internet.
Step 1: Don't be a moron
Step 2: Don't click on weird links
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit
mellow spindle
hmm i dunno fox, not sure how to not be moron and not click weird links
that's how i spend all my time on the internet
north hamlet
not to say that the scams aren't effective, and you shouldn't feel dumb if you get tricked
but it's much more likely than a technical attack

Jk I love you
I'm sorry, don't cry, don't tell the mods
I'll let you hit me back
tranquil bay
we dealt with this all the time with this one steam community i was a part of for a few years. people would post in forum about getting hacked, having their stuff stolen... turns out they either shared account info or let people borrow items... like. dont do that.
mellow spindle
like just being too embarrassed to admit what actually happened and spreading false info instead?
proud flicker
Reminds me of this saying: Don't attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.
tranquil bay
you'd be surprised by the amount of people that legitimately think lost items = being hacked, even though they were at fault for not being more cautious
north hamlet
i think that saying is hanlon's razor?

That's one scary secretary
wide ember
I wonder if they are named after a specific secretary
north hamlet
it's suspected to be a corruption of sagittarius to secretarius?
wide ember
biologist: oh, there's a rat in the office!
secretary: (stomps the rat dead) not anymore
biologist, seeing the bird: I have a perfect name for you
that's how I imagined it
north hamlet
the sagittarius part was thought to be a comparison by dutch settlers to how an archer walks
alternatively they were named after secretaries since they were kept to assist farmers with getting rid of pests
wide ember
can they type reports of daily operations tho
north hamlet
other suggested etymology: arabic term saqr-et-tair
seems like the dutch origin is more likely though

All i know is if one day I get to be a manager I'd hire one to be my secretary

reading more closely the secretary comparison could be from how their feathers look like quills
they have really neat plumage

@mild pelican honestly, no amount of attention in fandom is going to fix that. that's an inner thing to work on, and she'll have to come to terms with it herself
tranquil bay
yeah please dont take this in the wrong way but thats like a. 'probably has a lot of unpack in therapy' sort of deal. given what you've mentioned previously about your friend's home situation im sure it has caused a lot of mental trauma
sometimes a response to trauma is unhealthy coping mechanisms that we tie our self worth to

yes, and i'm not saying, that anything can substitute proper therapy
for now on, while the therapy is unavailable, i'm just trying to.. don't know.. seek other ways to make things better for her for now

you can
i have to warn those who just want to begin: it's a slippery path
me and my friend have spent almost 2000 hours.. and if you're not playing in singleplayer, it's almost impossible to quit
since it has features of both Pokemon and tamagotchi
wide ember
archaeopteryxes only eat chitin so good luck farming that, keeping that on you, bola the proto-birb and keep it down without killing it
while neither of you get munched by an opportunistic carnivore nearby
I've heard that they make excellent living parachutes though (never tried myself)

i still can remember the pain of being chased down the coastline by carno, while trying to get to the wooden base..

they actually do
the way of carrying them around is actually funny

maybe I should invest in getting one then

oh no

from some point we ceased getting dinos for useful purposes, and tame them just because they're cool or cute
she breeds griffins now.. for several weeks already
and calls them by the names of Pyre characters
Jodariel is her main flying companion

I approve of that decision
though getting all the dinos and birds and proto-mammals and etc. would probably take 5000 hours

and fantasy creatures

this game is a blackhole for our free time isn't it
mild pelican
yeah.. especially on official servers
wide ember
it's what monster rancher should have been
really love (and suffering from) how there are several different taming methods
mild pelican
to think of it, for new players the game is full of weird things
like beating or shooting someone to unconsciousness, filling with some sedative stuff, forcing to eat what's given from hands, and wham, it's your friend now

isn't that just pokemon safari
throw feed, rocks, feed and then safari ball
I personally want to know how the heck the player avatar understands which food the Moschops are asking
or the messed up "to get this monster, you need to find and fight the queen, get pregnant by the queen, then eat the pheromone gland and imprint the baby you anomalously gave birth to and are planning to tame"

or the thing where dodos are being used as living furniture

I have no idea what you mean by dead. They have still been adding characters, skins, events, etc. to it.
And the playerbase is still big.
And it still is a casual alternative to other big mobas.

Now, that's an entirely different topic, one which I won't take part in lol
thin orchid
That's fair
tender cobalt
No?
They literally added that Hermes skin fairly recently and released some developers' notes on it.
As well as the inclusion of DW after the competitive scene was taken out a long while ago.
They are also re-balancing the characters throughout many patch notes as well as changing ingame mechanics.

my main issue with the faction war is that it keeps stalling
odd grove
Warcraft lore literally is "we fight these guys who summoned these guys who in turn fight these guys who in turn work for GOD who in turn are???????"
ionic viper
every single expansion has seen the alliance and horde Unite To Face A Greater Foe
and then dissolve into slapfighting

Also one of the main writers is literally in love with Sylvanas

I still think the overall game is very good
But it has serious flaws
That is one of them
odd grove
Persona 2 was better
Like it had good gameplay and story
Very underrated
But from gameplay alone, Persona 5 is quite excellent
Although not as great as a true SMT game
hasty kernel
5s big problem is that the story takes a nosedive towards the end
odd grove
Wanna know why?
Later persona games focus on their own formula
They set up this center piece character
tender cobalt
We should bring WoW topics in here more often lol
hasty kernel
I mean my personal theory is that they wrapped up the story and realised "Wait, our characters didnt fight god yet, we gotta put that in the game real quick"
odd grove
A party member, an antagonist, something like that
They make you see one by one every character that has any importance to the story

@tender cobalt u_u always liked starcraft more anyway

You get a navigator character who gets replaced by a "better" one later on
tender cobalt
Oh, I see topic changed. RIP sparrow's inclusion 
tender cobalt
Hey, Starcraft is awesome too! I looove Nova so much 
hasty kernel
But I wouldnt say that that makes the story predictable
Given that the story specifically is not as tropified
odd grove
It makes it predicatble
Because at the moment you see a character with a portrait, you KNOW he's gonna do something

At least in Warcraft they acknowledged the MC couldn't fight Sargeras

thankfully Long Gone Days made everybody hot regardless of alignment right
fervent zenith
In the sense It's the only villain you defeat without fighting him
@wide ember You finished it?
fervent zenith
I'm glad they made the Russians the good guys
wide ember
yes but I hate Zelenin from the get go
odd grove
Why
fervent zenith
The game actually made me want to visit Kaliningrad
It must be a weird place politically
wide ember
re: Zelenin, the brainwash song
I was surprised to learn that Kaliningrad is a real city
and from google images the architectures are super german looking?
fervent zenith
Because they took the city from Germany
odd grove
Sol come on

It was Prussian

Strange Journey is epic
fervent zenith
In WW2 was given to the Soviets
After the Nazis defeat
It's tactically important as it doesn't freeze in Winter
wide ember
why doesn't canada have a city that doesn't freeze in winter too
so Kaliningrad must be really cherished as possession by the russians
fervent zenith
Well, yeah
Kaliningrad has all the Amber deposits in the world
Or almost all
The game bamboozle me btw
I thought Branna was gonna be an ally and Adair a villain xd
wide ember
Adair you mean?
wide ember
he looked like a tsundere to me from the get go so
and tsundere are rarely villainous
I did think that Branna would be an ally, but eh...
with this game the "colourful hair = party member" logic doesn't work
wide ember
well, stylish hair I guess
(I somehow remembered her hair as purple-black, I think I need to readjust my screen filters)

When you prepare to get cast in a FF game but turns out to being a gritty rpg

I thought Adair was the love interest

You guys talking about an RPG? Which one is it now?
fervent zenith
Rourke's love interest is ||His sniper rifle||
tender cobalt
Is it recommended?
tender cobalt
Hm.... let me check it out then~
fervent zenith
I thought Adair was the love interest
@wide ember
If the foreshadowing is right there is a 0% chance that's gonna happen
It came in the Racial equality bundle
wide ember
Rourke's ||sniper rifle|| would be the almost-abusive yet still dependable ex

And the gdc relief bundle

Oh my, then I should have it already.
Is it short or long? Or more specifically, what's the average playtime?

Oooohhhh....

No

Gosh, it's hard to keep track of what the bundle has, it having 1500+ things

I hope someday that SGG makes a crossover game using their own universes.

I haven't run much in a while, but my main community is The Zoo Race (which while a meme is insanely fun) which I glitch hunt a lot for
I also do Dustforce IL's and am decent at them
I used to run VVVVVV but not for years now
hexed hollow
ooh niceu ^_^ dustforce as a run looks really hard but fun
sudden dome
it's the best game I've ever played
I could never do a full game run
but IL's are really really fun to grind out
Zoo Race is just a game that is perfect for speedrunning
it's broken in just the right ways
hexed hollow
ooh niceu ^_^ I've never heard of that game before 😅
sudden dome
it's a game notable for being bad
and is kinda a meme
but the speedrun is so much fun
hexed hollow
I find celeste similar to dustforce in that way, I did a couple of IL's for it but never full runs
sudden dome
Celeste is great but I would never be able to run it seriously tbh
IL's are just too long often lol
dustforce IL's are much shorter
for most
hexed hollow
high level celeste runs are absolutely insane
sudden dome
definitely
Indie 2d platformers are my favourite genre
and Celeste is a really really good one
hexed hollow
same; I have the tendancy to run 2D metroidvania/platformers 
sudden dome
metroidvanias are good but generally tend to be less my thing
hexed hollow
atm running Gris, super chill run :3
hexed hollow
that's a mood

I need to finish my terraria 1.4 playthrough as well
mild pelican
finishing terraria is hard.. i've started lots of times since 2012.. only a couple of times passed hardmode, and never finished
ionic viper
i'm chipping away at a journey mode playthrough but i've lost the will to live/continue because my jungle is about to get curbstomped by the crimson that spawned when i started hardmode
luckily you can turn off biome spread in journey mode and i have tedit so i could switch the two around, but
sigh
sudden dome
I'm doing a journey mode playthrough but on Master difficulty
because biome spread just stresses me out too much
mild pelican
that's why i usually prepare for hardmode by making a network of tunnels and grids underground.. to be able to easily locate and isolate it
...and also why i get tired long before it
ionic viper
alas
ionic viper
i did, and i'm probably going to end up biting the bullet and using tedit to flip the biomes so i can turn it back on
i've had it off so far for one reason and one reason only
i cannot for the life of me generate a decent map that doesn't have this happen, so i gave up trying
ionic viper
i also had to go and find someone else's seed to gen a few worlds that had pyramids
mild pelican
is it possible to make an old type of world and then convert? or there is too many content?
ionic viper
1.4 did a LOT of updates to the worldgen
mild pelican
shame
sudden dome
it took me generating 20 worlds and running from spawn to both ends (half medium half large worlds) to find a single pyramid
and it didn't have sandstorm
so i gave up and started using a map viewer to find one
ionic viper
that was me but with lava charm
ancient moss
tranquil bay
sees terraria, hello
a mod accidentally pinged the whole server for one server ive had muted for ages and it was so chaotic they imposed a 6 hour post cooldown, so now everyone is communicating by spamming emoji reactions on everything, its a big hot mess. like watching a car drive around, but its on fire.
ancient moss
Ooooh fun
tranquil bay
the active mods are so unprofessional one keeps saying things like 'it was an accident, we'll make an announcement later, get over it, stop asking' and ect 🤪 my dude i dont know how to tell you that when you have thousands of online users (and however many more than are invis) and you ping everyone, even accidentally, people are going to continue asking what the ping was for no matter how many times you say stop asking

Oh God
Terraria
One time I had an AMAZING world. I'm talking sandstorm, I'm talking hermes and that bracelet that blocks lava damage for 7 seconds and so many amazing things
But because I couldn't beat Worm (7 tries, got really unlucky) and Skelly, I gave up and deleted it. FOR SOME REASON!!!
I wish I could restore it because my God I feel upset about that
And about that ping mess... It's a mess...

Don't Starve can get really frustrating (but it's really fun when with friends in the Together version)

That talk in VC
I tried playing it with a friend who was just typing and I... I dreaded it lmao. Maybe because he wasn't very communicative or didn't talk at all unless I specifically asked him to talk or whatever but yeah

though in fairness many of these games are considerably more fun and chaotic if you have a server with some friends
terraria focuses more on fighting monsters and bosses than minecraft does, which is prob why I always enjoyed it more over minecraft bc frankly I'm not creative with builds and don't enjoy spending a whole lot of time on that sort of thing
wide ember
nothing beats the feeling of getting chased by a monster dragonfly together
I feel like if you want, you could still build monster caging structures and make a zoo or something
tranquil bay
nah stuff despawns if you move too far from it
a lot of monsters can either move through solid blocks or have projectiles that go through blocks so you really just wanna kill them 🤪
unless u mean mc bc ngl I haven't touched that in years so idk what's going on with it these days

not mine but that's where I thought it was possible
guess it's not monsters after all, just critters

it would be like at the concert. A quite big one.
sudden torrent
as someone who mods the big server the numbers between who actually talks and lurks to who never really talk or lurk is insane
the numbers only fool and reality is quite different from what overall number says.
usually about 0.50% of actual server number talk in chat over a day, with about 15% or so lurking per day
wide ember
if I don't talk in a server for over a week I usually just leave server so it doesn't clog my server list
but like, being part of a big number of members makes the server seems cool

My server list is Personal Test Server, Modmail server for the next server on my list: fan server for the Expanse, this server, friends server, big ol folder filled with a bunch of servers I use primarily for emojis

I'm trying to play through my steam library, which game from this list should i play next? Dishonored 2, Divinity Original Sin 2, Hyper Light Drifter, Hollow Knight, Ori and the Blind Forest
proud flicker
Ori and the Blind Forest
proud flicker
The platforming in this game is wonderful, if not better than Hollow Knight (and that's to say a lot since HK platforming and combat are already way up there).
bronze notch
i've kept trying to play hollow knight but kept getting discouraged due to feeling lost
but you're right hollow knight is quite fun
thin orchid
Well, it depends on what kind of experience you want
Ori isnt exactly the most challenging game, but it's pretty and the story is neat
indigo walrus
Hollow Knight if you want a grim atmosphere and difficult, yet satisfying combat based on your skills as a player
And to explore, a lot. It's great metrodivania, great world, quite mysterious
thin orchid
Divinity is a very tactical experience, and more about the individual characters than the overall story imo
And dishonored is knife magic stabby times
proud flicker
Ori is a metroidvania but the world is not as complex as HK, which to me is a plus.
I think HK overdid itself with how vast the world is.
raven harbor
Forgot what server I was in lol
I think HK is better overall, but Ori is charming as heck
proud flicker
Ik some people will think that's great dor5 Metroidvania, but for a casual me
Ori is nore fun, not that HK is not.

@fervent zenith you were playing Long Gone Days, right?

Out of curiosity, what happens if you ||dont shoot after you reach the surface||?
Is it just a game over?
fervent zenith
There are optional choices later
It's a shame the sniping segments only appear at the beginning of the game
hasty kernel
Given that the game doesnt exactly ||hide what you are doing|| thats kind of a shame
But I get that its for ||plot|| reasons
mild pelican
choosing between HK and Ori, if HK hasn't been played yet, i would suggest it. Silksong is coming soon, and i believe, even if it has little connection to HK, it'll be nice to know about universe and lore
