Is 1337 no longer safe?
Reply in thread
He actually was on the 1337x comment section defending himself and at a point he said he downloaded it from [Russian website] and only repacked it. He said we could go download it from there if we didn't trust him, but I also got a virus warning from that one...

How Cyberpunk 2077 clawed its way back from disaster to complete one of the greatest redemption arcs in gaming history
Impressive, but imo still not as good as No man's Sky redemption.

I’ll fight anyone who shits on Gen Z
I wonder if in the future, millennials and gen z will become the new boomers and gen X.
That will make me kinda sad. I just hope we don't go down the same path...

Downloaded that torrent, thought it was weird that it triggered my AV. Usually I just assume it's a crack file or something, and even Windows defender will say it's a "game crack" file or something on the threat information.
However, BG3 being released on GoG I found it odd... And it wasn't even detected as a game crack file or wtv it's called. Ended up downloading one uploaded by InsaneRamZes which ALSO was detected by AV...
I've ended up downloading about 4~5 clients to finally find one that didn't trigger it... The amount of trash that was going around is insane.
The one I finally found that doesn't have a virus was from a private tracker. (which was the RUNE release)
Edit: Just checked on 1337x and this one that I had from InsaneRamZes has also been removed it seems. I can't actually find a BG3 full game torrent on there atm... But I did manage to add the tracker to my private tracker's RUNE download so I'll be sharing with you all too 🤝

Please, at least text me to ask if I'm ready

I wouldn't say we're afraid. I don't particularly like speaking on the phone though, but it's alright, I even worked call center for a while so it doesn't bother me much these days.
Anyways, essentially texting is just more efficient. I can't speak for everyone else, but for instance at work, I hate it when I have a question or need assistance on a specific topic, ask on my team chat and have a couple of people saying "quick call?".
If it's something really complex, fine... that's fair. Other than that? It's just so inefficient. I can be working on something else and just reply during my off time between tasks, same with whoever I ask help from. Also, most of the time I'm listening to music, or I have my TV with ambience sound on the background. So then I have to turn everything off just so I can go for a 5minute call for something that could be done over chat on the same amount of time.
Sorry this comment turned out way longer than I thought it would.

Shut up it's my second job!
Reply in thread
Same. I can't even be in the same room anymore. Somehow made gaming there feel like a chore as well...
So bored of games, that I'll go work on some other stuff (home servers) and just taking care of day to day life stuff. Maybe I'm just growing up, but I never thought I'd be bored of games... Ever...
I still prefer working remotely though!

Diablo 4 GM confirms “annual expansions” for the game
Reply in thread
Honestly, having know this I wouldn't have bought D4 in the first place.
It was expensive as fuck for a game that I played a week at most, and got boring. Not saying the game isn't great on some aspects. The story and graphics are amazing but... other than that it's not that interesting late game.
Spending 60€+ on a game that has battle passes and an ingame shop on top of it, for them to add one expansion a year after, yearly? Wtf
It's true what they say. Blizzard has gotten greed af.
This has probably been the last game I will ever buy from them. There are already Diablo 4 private servers, I think I'll just wait until those catch up with those expansions...

My personal preference is DD-MM-AAAA, but as someone that works with lots of data from different formats and timezones... I have to agree with you...
YYYYMMDD and UTC should be the global default.

What's your "old person" trait?
Reply in thread
Worked in a call center for a long time and I somewhat agree with the last person.
It's often easier to deal with something with a real person. That is not the issue.
The issue is people being polite and respectful. If everyone was a decent human being, call centers would be a good place to work and they wouldn't be understaffed.

EU is usually very pro consumer but not long ago there were (and there still are) some shit takes on piracy and stuff.
I don't think they'll ban VPNs though. It's not pro consumer and it's anti-privacy which EU is also very strong on.

I was very sad to delete Apollo today
Pro tip, I used to open reddit unconsciously, even after installing lemmy. After I noticed that I removed the reddit icon and replaced it with jerboa. Now I barely ever go to reddit best

The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 11-09-2023
Currently playing Baldur's Gate 3, 2 player co-op and it's been an absolute blast.
Recently a friend started playing No Man's Sky and I joined in to help him get started and give him some tips... Only to get re-addicted to it myself so now I'm split between BG3 and NMS 🥲

Hotel > AirBNB
Reply in thread
I'm Portuguese, Airbnb "crappy clean before you leave" and 600$ fees haven't caught up yet luckily. Last time I used a Airbnb was in 2016, rented a room on S. Miguel (main Azorean Island) for a fair price.
Since then I mostly just book hotels wherever I go, be it Europe or abroad. In Europe, because it's just easier, often times cheaper, more flexible check-in/check-out and doesn't have the language barrier like you said. And abroad because I just don't feel as comfortable and it's expensive
