What 2FA do you prefer? I’ve been thinking of looking for an alternative

Farcry and farcry 2 were my map editors of choice
- Comment on Far cry 5, where are the mods? 2 days ago:
Far cry 2 had the best fire and foliage. It lives rent free in my head lol. Only downside was the constant patrols trying to mess you up.

I think books were also a target at one point
- Comment on CIA Is Openly Recruiting Informants on Social Media 1 week ago:
I never understood that. Nobody is going to want to work with America again in the future. They proved they can’t be trusted. Seemed pretty short-sighted when they’ll eventually need assistance again in the future
- Comment on Rocksteady ends Suicide Squad development less than a year after release 1 week ago:
I’m surprised they kept going. I thought they would have stopped a while ago
- Comment on anyone know any good android games? 1 week ago:
Animal crossing pocket camp just became buy to play. It’s currently on a reduced price right now, and it’s pretty fun. I enjoy it because it’s played vertically and now that there’s no microtransacrions, you can earn all the items just by playing. It had a 7 year life cycle, so there’s a lot of content to check out.
The gameplay loop is fairly limited, and I wouldn’t say it’s the most fun. But once you get enough items to start decorating things, it makes it fun to spruce to your campsite and personal spaces.
- Comment on What do we think will be GoTY and which game do we think should be? 1 week ago:
The only game I played that was released this year was the eldin ring dlc. Give me a couple years and I can tell you what the GOTY for 2024 was lol
- Comment on Asleep at the Wheel in the Headlight Brightness Wars 2 weeks ago:
The LED headlights being put in are blinding. It didn’t used to be like this. A friend recently got a new vehicle that had them straight from the factory. I don’t understand it. Whenever I’m driving at night, I’m constantly getting blinded. It’s weird
- Comment on Your Bluesky Posts Are Probably In A Bunch of AI Datasets Now [404 Media] 2 weeks ago:
I would assume anything posted to the internet is accessible by AI. Nothing is sacred. I’m sure if your voice or face has been posted online, there’s a chance for it to be used by AI in the future.
- Comment on Silent but Deadly: I met some of my closest friends through multiplayer games. Then a strange happening turned everyone (literally) speechless. 2 weeks ago:
I stopped playing overwatch because I would play healer and then get abusive messages sent my way.
The breaking point was when I got one message demanding me to swap off mercy from one guy, and then a message from another teammate yelling at me for swapping off mercy. It was a really fun game at the time, but only with friends.
- Comment on Silent but Deadly: I met some of my closest friends through multiplayer games. Then a strange happening turned everyone (literally) speechless. 2 weeks ago:
In the mid 2000’s you got used to the trash talking pretty quick. I didn’t mind it as a kid. But over time it got tiring. When xbox live introduced parties, we slowly stopped going into public chat. It was around the time the kinect launched when we stopped completely. There was always somebody playing with it on rather than a mic, and you could hear their whole house. The crying kids, the dog barking, having arguments with their spouse. It was uncomfortable at best
- Comment on Young people were becoming more anxious long before social media, and we should not be fixated on simplistic explanations that reduce the issue to technical variables, researcher says 4 weeks ago:
I don’t really have much to go off of other than my own experiences, but I don’t think social media caused me more anxiety than normal except for one exception. During the beginning and early years of the pandemic, reddit usage did sometimes cause me more anxiety. Especially when people were hateful/disregarded other people.
Otherwise, the main things that cause me anxiety are a lack of community + a lack of third spaces. Feeling like I have no purpose other than being a cog in a machine/wealth disparity/alienation from my labour. Governments that don’t care for the people they’re supposed to serve. A general feeling of not being able to get ahead in life.
That’s been the major cause of anxiety for me for the past 12 years
I think it really depends on how people are using the internet/ social media. I’m sure we all use it differently, and it might cause more or less anxiety.

Possibly! It’ll happen eventually. I’m in no rush I suppose. I’ve got plenty in my backlog already and not enough time haha
- Comment on Fallout London is a better game than Fallout 4 4 weeks ago:
I can’t wait to get a new PC eventually. I’ve been missing out on some exciting mods and PC games the past 5 or 6 years

After playing part of their game Outer Worlds, I’m not surprised. I thought the writing was alright, but the game felt lacking and empty.
- Comment on Pokémon Go Players Have Unwittingly Trained AI to Navigate the World 4 weeks ago:
Hah wouldn’t that be something.
Tbh they don’t need Niantic to do this. They can collect that info straight from phones. Back doors go brrrr (is that meme still relevant?)

Damn yeah that’ll do it. Kids can be ruthless!
- Comment on Valve must address swastikas and other hate on Steam, writes US senator in a letter to Gabe Newell 4 weeks ago:
Yeah “uhms” and the dreaded “like” are also an issue for me too. I would like to eliminate it from my vocabulary entirely. I make videos and live stream, and I notice it a lot when I watch playback. It’s pretty terrible. Did you have a hard time ridding them from your speech? I should try fixing that.

Shit. My ignorance is showing lol.
Thanks for the correction. I’m about to go on a deep dive of reading now :)

Yeah I mean, idk what happened there. Brain wasn’t computing well I guess.
- Comment on Google AI chatbot responds with a threatening message: "Human … Please die." 4 weeks ago:
This is why I think people need to understand that it’s not AI. These companies using AI as a buzzword are shooting themselves in the foot.
Guy wouldn’t have been freaked out if he understood how these systems work
- Comment on Valve must address swastikas and other hate on Steam, writes US senator in a letter to Gabe Newell 4 weeks ago:
I think the issue is possibly rooted deeper than just usage on steam. I mean I know steam could do more to fight it, but I mean…has said US senator looked at the newly elected government and the people that voted for said government? I mean damn dude.
The rot is deep and is very soon going to be considered “default” behavior.

- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Oh, for sure. I’m curious if when we get to that point, we’ll need some kind of universal basic income or something.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
I would love if I could get a LLM to do my work. Fortunately/unfortunately it won’t happen any time soon.
I thought with the rise of computers it would reduce the amount of work we would have to do. Haha
I’m curious how this might alter how we work 10-15 years from now.

Forgive my ignorance, but is Suigi new in the scene? I remember Puncayshun and Cheese, but it’s been a few years since I kept up with mario64 speedruns
- Comment on Fortnite OG is coming back permanently in December 5 weeks ago:
I wasn’t a fan of fortnite until recently. Now I’m kind of into it. I played last season, and now this season, and I’m not sure how to feel about this particular one.
I’m finding people are hiding more when you get down to the last handful of people, and that kinda causes the gameplay to flatline at the later stages of the round. I find the perfect spot is when there’s a bit of organized chaos when everyone is actively fighting it out.
In the last season, it was harder to hide because there was at least one person with a radar ping type buff that revealed player locations. It kept things at a faster pace

I assume everything is bots, so I only check out streamers, youtubers, and artists on Twitter. It was bad before the Musk takeover but now it’s borderline unusable lol
