Yeah, hackerman got prudis' steam account, don't click on any csgo voting links on steamchat. Looks like a few of us got messages, and probably subsequently unfriended and blocked as well.

Just really good advice in general, don't click shit from steam chat.

If I ever msg anyone through steam, it's probably not actually me. I only post stickers and emojis in the group chats. :rip:

I could try following a pixel art tutorial and gain some knowledge on the process. I want to make a laid back man in a chic costume with red tentacles for a head.
I could also retry Blender.
But that would require some drive :confounded-face:

Because right now the plan sure as hell looks like to be do nothing at all.
I'm digging about my bookmarks for an AI Character from Text Generator i saw a few weeks ago. Basically you go to the site, type a phrase and the AI generates a face and art for you.

Found one that answered to 'gentleman with red tentacles for a head' with various forms of deformed dogos. And a deformed radar antenna.

The other one I found is more interesting.

FFXIV Endwalker is almost here... Conclusion to a story 11 years in the making and widely regarded as one the best FF stories of all time. I can't wait.
I remember a few months ago when I thought I was actually going to catch up with the MSQ in time lmao. Here I am still halfway through Heavensward after not touching the game for like 2 months.

Probably still gonna buy it...

Steam sale made me finally get the Stalker games - it's absurd that I hadn't played them yet tbh, they are exactly the kinda game I love. Excited to play through them all now :blobevening:
Oh nice, enjoy! They are some of my favorite FPS games of all time. Extremely atmospheric and kept me engaged with the world. Tempted to rebuy them. I only have my boxed copies, but no optical drive.

I am a curious on how they will handle S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 and if they can recapture the atmosphere and intriguing world.

I finished Shadowbringers 5.5 last month. Started back in March. Thanks to the story of Heavensward and Shadowbringers it is my game of the year alongside Tetris Effect and Dorfromantik. I really hope Endwalker lives up to those 2 expansions.

Artflow is the one i found. There are others you can run using your google account to open a Google Notebook with the AI files as a Collab.
Obviously it's trained to look like people so more fantastical looks might not be generated.

Yeah, Heavensward is great. I didn't even stop because of that. I think it's just that between playing like 100 hours of FFXIV in a month and then getting into the Pixel Remasters immediately after that, I started wanting to play stuff other than FF and I've been distracted ever since hahaha. I know the second I decide to get back into it I'll be hooked all over again.

Maybe I'll do that once I finish Blasphemous, which was my last "spooky" game for October.

edit:



Yup. It looks like Control UE is a GOG key on Twitch Prime. I'll take it.
Oh thanks for posting that. I keep forgetting that I get benefits on Twitch from Prime lol. I don't care for games on their launcher but I'll take a GOG key.

I did a thing. Vaguely resembling a man with red tentacles for a head. If you hurt your eyes before looking.
But that's not what's important. I think the process is interesting. There is the, horrible, drawing, but then you have to consider plenty of things like shading. The palette too ! Which I didn't consider at all and it shows.
I can post it, no shame, but that's not the high point of this post. Hmm.

First thing I have to understand is how to determine the size of your image in pixels. I mean, my monster is ugly, but there was very little pixels to make it shine.

Hello it's me again. Asking if someone is willing to share their humble discount. Want to pick up the Grandia games since they never go below 50%. Might as well try and shave off two dollars.

prudis sorry will ask here, your account was hacked? you asked me this in steam

"Recently i made a team in csgo and we have a kind of tournament before playing so can you vote for my team (Beast) "

and send some weird ass link to intel winter
Just got the same scam chat from Milena.
Are we supposed to report accounts that have been hacked? Or does that cause more problems for the real owner?

"Hey, can you vote for my friend's cs go team" is a scam, right?

I mean, I haven't played the game in a very long time, don't even know how to do it.

Received the message from an old Steam friend, Milena.

Randomest thought of the day.
I should start using a FTP software to transfer files from my mother's PC to mine. It was already a pain and super unreliable to set up this shit on Win 10, I can't even imagine what surprise MS will throw out with Win 11.

As far as I may have understood, you need to create an account for the other person on your Windows. But for one I may very well have misunderstood, and there is only one user on MY PC, ME, as it should be, motherfucker :coffee-blob:

Windows, encouraging you to use cutting edge tech from 1971 to avoid headaches.

Edit -
Page 3 by the end of the day or bust, people ! :dmcblob:
Are you on the same network? a lot more of a simple way would just be to share the directory to everyone and then access it from your computer via file explorer. Just \\otherpcname\folder\

Setting up FTP for something that is local to your network is more work than is required.

No worries. Though out of curiosity (and to know if I should double check certain settings or whatever): how did the spambot take your account?
Most likely the same way it propagates: clicking on a malicious link which would steal your authentication cookies somehow. :evilblob:
I guess you arrive on a legit-looking page, try to authenticate with password and 2FA, except that the page is not hosted by Valve.

Having great fun with a nice mix of western and japanese games.

Loving Dishonored 2, my only gripe so far is the repetitive dialogue between the guards, you are constantly hearing the same handful of lines.
Tales of Arise is slowly growing on me.
Maiden of Black Water doesn't seem as scary as Fatal Frame 2 but it's good.
Replaying Divinity Original Sin 2 (first time playing the definitive edition, only played it once at launch) further cements it as one of my top 5 games of all time.

That's made me really happy. The Steam version from Humble is the trash version that for the longest time was always online and from what people have said was not the most up-to-date version of the game.

At least I now have a DRM-free version that is up-to-date. I also redeemed DA: I because I don't have that game in any library. Skipped Tomb Raider.

Is GOTG better with a controller or KBM?
Controller, lol. It was specifically designed for it. K&M won't feel as comfortable. The game has an auto-lock on feature plus there's no need for precise shoots.

I am still waiting to see 3rd person game that is better played with M&K :p
Vanquish. Binary Domain. Resident Evil 4-6. Any Japanese 3'rd person shooters, really. :p Of course, it's just how I prefer to play them.
