- Comment on Over 10 years later 7 Days to Die is going to leave Early Access 2 weeks ago:
One of the more recent updates added in a lot of new Points of Interest and helped make the random maps less “WTF” and more reasonable. Though the replayability is down to personal preference. My wife and I will spin up a new world, play until we reach a point of “well, we’ve basically done everything” and then move on to a different game. And then come back to 7d2d when we want to scratch that “crafting, zombie survival, base defense” itch.
In a lot of ways, 7d2d is like a comfy sweater. It’s not going to ever be radically different; but, it’s nice to wear for a bit. Personally, I’d be all for getting the gang back together. Unless you are all so saturated in other games to play, why not relive the fun? I’m also a sucker for survival/crafting games and have a Steam library full of them. There are only a couple which I keep going back to, Valheim and 7d2d being the top two. So, YMMV, but I’d say it’s a fun enough game and the official release is a good excuse to kill some zombies together again.

I guess Satan decided on a nice frozen makeover for Hell.
Joking aside, 7d2d has been one of my ongoing favorites since I bought it back in 2016. I’m glad to see them take this (long overdue) step.
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 studio will likely bring their next game to early access again, but admit it’s not for every dev 4 weeks ago:
Based on DOS:2 and Baldur’s Gate 3…

I remember Windows XP coming out and we all mocked it as Windows but with an interface by Crayola. But I’d gladly have that Crayola interface back rather than the flat modern crap we have now.
- Comment on When people setup two factor authentication on an account on sites that allow it and insert a phone number, does that site assume by default that it's their own number or do they see it as "a" number? 3 months ago:
Wow, ok hopefully I am unpacking this question correctly. But let’s start with the question from the title.
Does Google et al. assume it’s your number or just a number you have access to? It’s the former. Google assumes you are entering your number. If you put in a communal number, that’s on you for screwing up the base assumption underpinning SMS as a second factor for authentication. When working with a factor which is supposed to be “something you have” it needs to be something that you control. Think of it like the keys to your home. If you aren’t the only person with a copy of that key, then that lock does not provide security for your home against others with the key.As for the “DNA” question. I’m going to guess this is about websites “remembering” you for login purposes. The way this usually works is that, after the first login, the website sets a cookie in your browser. This cookie contains a cryptographic value which is also stored on the web server. When you go back to the site, your browser uses this value with your request for the site. The server then compares it to the stored value. If it matches, you are logged in, without needing to reauthenticate. It’s more complex than just sending the value, but that’s not worth getting into.
If you have multiple logins “remembered” this way, it may be possible to move to different accounts without the need to reauthenticate. Also, many modern browsers can save passwords for you. This lets the browser auto-fill your credentials for you. It’s universally a bad idea to save your passwords this way, but it could allow you to switch accounts without knowing the passwords.
- Comment on How can I clean my mouse wheel without taking apart my mouse? 3 months ago:
The mouse had wheels which sat on the balls. It was sometimes necessary to clean those as well. Though, I suspect that the person you responded to wasn’t thinking about those wheels.

Seems like MS is trying to run afoul of anti-trust laws, again.
