Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

So I will.just repost what I had said. Why delete my whole post instead of just the word or words is beyond me and seems a bit overkill but whatever.

OMG. So I find out this evening that some jerk hacked my Facebook account. So naturally I go to login to change the password only to be told that my account is locked and the only way to get it back is to upload a copy of my ID.

So let me get this straight you want me to upload a copy of my driver's license to something that had been hacked. WTF??? Are they serious??? I especially love how they locked me from my account but they just let a hacked use my account to spam my friends list. Brilliant Facebook just brilliant. Just proved to me that Mark Zuckerberg is a ***** moron.

@Tasuki That is beyond stupid! So how are you supposed to get your account back now? Stuff like that is why I never use facebook, and don't plan to start any time soon.

@Snatcher There isn't a way I have to upload a picture of my ID, or birth certificate or Passport basically any legal document to prove its me. Basically if I don't do any of that I have to make a new one.

@Tasuki Are you going to try and wait the hacker out? or are you going to make a new one? There is no other way? like I just can't, how the hell are you to post private info, on a hacked account? you don't send it my E mail or nothing? thats so old school.

@Tasuki Many other companies have the same policy with account retrieval or account closure. Like Blizzard wanted my personal ID to do anything with my account. My neighbor also had to give them ID because his account was hacked. This is done to prevent fraud.

After all you are contacting them via email or something like that right? Not via your hacked account so it is ok.

@Snatcher @Zuljaras That's the odd thing and the reason I won't do it they want me to login to my hacked account change the password and send an upload of a document to prove its me through the hacked account. Now you can see where I have a problem with that. I tired looking for an email phone number anything, nothing. Such shady business. I hope that they go under for such bad business.

@Tasuki Facebook trash! If that is not the most shady sign in Check I have ever seen, idk what is.

I've been done with FB for nearly 6 years now and haven't looked back. I got so tired of all the "look at me" posts and comments. Or just the ridiculous back and forth arguments from friends and family.

@NintendoByNature Poison.

@Snatcher for sure. At least imo. I can understand if people are into it.

@NintendoByNature Ya, I mean if someone likes it they like it, I just can't see any light at the end of that tunnel.

@Tasuki the id is for Facebook to confirm you’re definitely you. The hacker won’t see it.

Any big company that manages important information will have similar policies, as mentioned by Zuljaras.

@Eel So they Should be fine? Thank goodness.

@Snatcher Thank you so much!

@chapu2006 No problem, happy to help.

So, i retake photo of my purchased games during last week since i felt really disappointed with MLB 2K10 PS3 (i discredit that game) and here are my two games i got on last Tuesday and last Saturday.

I still waiting for DDR Ultramix 4 order from Ebay arrived. Once it arrived, i will have complete DDR Ultramix games on XBOX.
And for Sonic Heroes, i thought it was not really hard as other Sonic games so i will try to finish at least 2 Teams (Sonic and Rose) and called it a day.
Also, a lesson for me to never ever pick realistic annual sport games (except Little League World series Baseball games since the games are cartoonish with easier gameplay) as i felt those games will never clicked on me as casual gamer.

Catching up on the thread, seems like a lot happened in the last couple of days. Not that I need to justify myself, but it's rare that I block someone unless they're a clear troll or refuse to be reasoned with rationally and resort to flaming and name calling. Other than that, I'd rather see conflicting opinions. I definitely don't agree with everyone, but I'm certainly up for having a constructive conversation....Not that the comment sections here are usually the best spot for that. Some of them are pretty volatile these days. The forums are generally more laid back.

As an aside: While I don't necessarily disagree with some of the potential NFTs have when it comes to artists and digital work, I don't believe they currently have a reason to be in the gaming sphere...especially with how things like loot boxes and microtransactions currently work. Not to mention that some of what they HAVE been used for is ridiculous to me (Seriously, how can you reasonably sell your own voice? What is this, The Little Mermaid?). I feel like the feature posted on the main site yesterday covered all the bases pretty well.

@Ryu_Niiyama "Weird" is certainly one way to describe your week! I'm glad you've been presented with what appear to be some amazing opportunities. Kudos to you! The joke appears to be on your old company. I daresay they shot themselves in BOTH feet and the buttock. [Insert Nelson laugh here]

@MarioLover92 I've heard of Akira but not seen it. Other anime movies I'd like to watch are Your Name and pretty much anything to do with Fullmetal Alchemist....Though for the latter, I should probably watch the actual anime (or both) first lol.

@TheJGG Sounds like you've had a crazy week too. Hopefully your weekend is as lax as mine. To my knowledge I still haven't had Covid yet, though I suspect it's only a matter of time; numbers are currently going up in my area. Happy early birthday, and I hope you receive some awesome gifts in celebration of another year of awesomeness!

On the ongoing XC2 commentary (Not going point by point this time): The Gormotti orphan side quest is indeed a goose chase. Thankfully, I have yet to get sidelined by the main plot again in that manner. "One of a kind" certainly describes Zeke (and by extension, Pandoria) pretty well lol. His flashiness reminds me of Owain from Fire Emblem Awakening. Loving Morag; she's currently my main tank! I didn't fully expect Vandham's death since the bit about him just preferring to use Roc was a bit of a red herring. Can't say the Leftherian Archipelago is clicking with me quite as well as the inner beauty of Uraya, but the music is still very top-notch.

Another brief XC2 update (@BruceCM @tekoii):

• Made my way into and through the Old Factory (@TheJGG I legit just let the game run for a few minutes while listening to the theme; I LOVE what plays here), rescued Tora's Dadapon & Lila, and had one of the weirder boss fights I've encountered in awhile with Rosa. The fight with Patroka (What's up with this lady?) and Mikhail was more challenging. Morag has impeccable timing.
• Very interesting flashback at the very beginning of Chapter 5. This definitely needs more context. Fan La Norne is definitely an intriguing character.
• Onto Indol, but first a side trip to the Leftherian Archipelago, AKA Rex's home turf. Most of this session was spent exploring the archipelago, getting into fights both intentionally and unintentionally, and getting my rear handed to me by tyrants; the unique monsters aren't too bad by themselves, but somehow anything nearby eventually gets aggroed in as well even though I try picking some of them off beforehand. At least I kicked Skyfist Remington's butt.
• Finally ended my session this morning just after arriving in Fonsett Village, triggered the cutscene there, and am now just controlling Rex and Pyra. I'll properly explore the village next time.

@Tyranexx And to think, I used to think the forums were worse...Some how?

@Sunsy Glad you're enjoying the Captain Toad trial. Ah ok, I remember the Cream and Cheese one I mentioned earlier, and that memory match one. Didn't play the Tiny Chao Garden in Sonic Advance as much either, once again I just played the main game, lol. I remember loving it back when I first got it, really reminded me of when I played Sonic 2 for the first time a couple decades ago.

Oh man, I remember Word Muncher as well. I'd play that as a kid too! That reminded me, I think my elementary school had a different set of Apple computers besides the ones in my home room at the time. Those were in full color. We had some games when we got the Aptiva as well, we had that Windows 95 companion disc that had a bunch of stuff in it, including a demo of the original Pac-Man. We also had a racing game called Monster Truck Madness (played that a ton since I loved cars and racing games as a kid), and there was this golf game that I can't remember the name of, too.

I have Team Sonic Racing on PC as well, I got that on Steam when that came out. Yes, the performance is really good on it, 60 fps and everything! Finished the story mode and I had my fun with the online multiplayer too, though that was kind of short-lived. Didn't really find any more players after a couple months or so, probably because Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled released a month after TSR.

@Zuljaras Yeah you're welcome! I got Castlevania Advance Collection on sale earlier and I've been playing Circle of the Moon on it.

@Tyranexx I still gotta watch Fullmetal Alchemist's first series, lol. Thanks for the reminder - I've got a ton to watch...and play. XD Akira's a good movie for sure, but be warned, it can get pretty gruesome at points. It's an R-rated anime flick.

@TheJGG I think I told you this already, but happy early birthday. So your birthday's on the 18th? Since you mentioned that you won't play the games you got until that day.

@Tyranexx
Yesterday i have mixed feelings about my games purchase.
I got Sonic Heroes Gamecube version (photo on above) and it was quite easy Sonic game so far.
But in contrary, i felt upset and really disappointed with MLB 2K10 PS3 (photo on previous page) as i didn't understand at all how to swing the bat or throw the ball with very complicated way to execute (using analog buttons only) and i didn't enjoy the gameplay at all after 30 minutes.
I immediately compared with my Little League World series Baseball 2009 Wii and it felt like Day and Night, way easier to play and it made my purchase of Little League World series Baseball 2009 Wii long time ago looked worthier.
Granted, i just only lost a few money from MLB 2K10 PS3 (71,000 IDR or under $5) but i will be careful with my game purchase next time.
Hard lesson for me to never ever pick realistic annual sport games again as those games will never be kind of my gaming style.
