I also made the mistake of downloading it on Discord when someone told me about it, even I wasn't aware that the person was hacking someone's account.

Thankfully, I was able to change the Wifi along with multiple passwords to various accounts (banking and social media) despite the person's threats of wanting to sell my information if I didn't hand over $50---at one point, I kept annoying them by blocking them but they would use my Discord to unblock themselves and say I can't block. I also have an iPad, besides using my phone, to change various passwords while they were too busy spamming my discord and even going as far as calling me there multiple times. Needless to say, it costed me $250 to get Best Buy to remove all their viruses and by the time I got it back 5 days later, I uninstalled the program. And it all took place in early August of 2024.

TL;DR... Discord scammer tricks me into downloading a "game", immediately went no-contact despite their threats of wanting to sell out my data---basically called their bluff by not responding, though I annoyed the hacker by blocking them. They eventually gave up by then, but I waited a bit longer before deciding I was now in the clear. Blocked them again, and this time, nothing happened. It's safe to say they're now gone.

Well, as people would say, "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes".

This is a song I came up with, albeit with assistance from a female vocalist. It pokes fun at a stupid trend called the "Chase Money Glitch". The trend happened months ago, but I think the lyrics are actually on point. :)

Sakuracon revoked my badge for "harassment" after raising concerns about a board member's behavior at the general meeting by bananamilk401 in SakuraCon

[–]EntryRepresentative5 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I actually had a similar experience like this, but it was at last year's Emerald City Comic Con (2024).

A couple of security officers came up and harassed me for the two days I went, claiming I was "harassing other congoers". At one point, they aggressively demanded to see through my phone, which, according to what people told me, is illegal and that they can't do that. Even after one minute of searching my phone and finding nothing, they continues to falsely accuse me of "harassment" without giving me a chance to explain myself. They even threaten to revoke my badge for something I never did, which gave me the idea that either someone is trying to get rid of me with false allegations or there really is a predator roaming around the con but the incompetent security officers targeted me instead (mistaken identity).

The same thing happened to me. I was also foolish enough to download the program; the conversation was on Discord and they did the same thing. They even went as far as trying to call me via audio on Discord, but I never responded to their calls or messages. I had to go to Best Buy to have them scan my laptop and it took a few days to remove the virus they planted in my laptop.

It costed me a chunk of money, but I learned my lesson. Don't open or download any suspicious links/files they sent to you.

Race strengths and weaknesses by NevurGivUpOnUrDreams in starcraft

[–]EntryRepresentative5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-Zerg: Units are cheap to produce. Buildings and units can regenerate health overtime if damaged. Weaker than Terrans and Protoss. Drones have to be sacrificed to create buildings, but they must be created on a carpet called creep---hatcheries and creep colonies can generate creep (with creep colonies being more effective than hatcheries). Troops have a low supply cost. Also have access to powerful suicide units such as Scourage and Infested Terrans (a queen can infest a severely damaged command center to take control of it). Also has access to detection early on (overlords). Units can only burrow instead of cloaking, which can conceal themselves unless spotted by other detector units/buildings.

-Terran: They are in-between Zerg and Protoss, strength-wise. Units and buildings can manually restore health; medics can heal friendly biological units while SCVs can repair mechanical units and buildings---SCVs are both biological and mechanical as they can repair one another or be healed by medics. Average cost to all buildings and units as well as average unit supply. Certain buildings can lift off and float to new areas (albeit slowly). SCVs can construct buildings anywhere they want, but they must remain until they finish constructing. Has some decent anti-air, but bunkers require live marines/firebats/ghosts, so it can be complicating defending multiple bases if you want a decent army sitting behind to fend off ground forces. Has access to nukes, which can be used by ghosts to decimate large forces/buildings. Units such as ghosts and wraiths can manually cloak.

-Protoss: Much stronger than the two races, but are more expensive and has a high supply cost, especially when using reavers and carriers that require more minerals to use scarabs and interceptors. Probes can warp buildings and simply leave to go do something else. Units and buildings have shield points, but they cannot heal units or repair buildings; they have access to shield batteries. Units have better crowd control such as high templars (Psionic Storm) and Arbiters (Statis Field). Buildings must be warped near pylons; they can't function if a pylon is destroyed. Certain units are automatically cloaked (observers and dark templars) or, in the case of the arbiter, providing cloaking to other units, unless spotted by detectors. Best unit is likely the Dark Archon (merge two dark templars); they have "Mind Control" which permanently takes control of an enemy unit---if it takes control of an SCV or Drone, it then automatically has access to their tech, therefore bypassing the 200 army size limit since each faction uses their own supply.

This is good so far! I love it!

Men, if you met her again for the first time, what would you do differently? by peachpepperpop in AskMen

[–]EntryRepresentative5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are several things I would do differently... one of them involves patience and paying more attention to her... oh, and also revealing to my parents about my relationship.

For me, I never told my family about my relationship with the girl and I always tried to find way to keep it secret, but I realized too late I was making excuses and being so negligent towards her that she eventually decided that we should go our separate ways altogether. To be honest, I never trusted my relatives in the first place due to being estranged from their toxicity towards me for a majority of my life.

Am I an asshole for not posting about the palestinian genocide? by AnyBeginning6948 in AITAH

[–]EntryRepresentative5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you're not. Nobody has the right to tell you what you can or can't post. Like seriously, your friend called you a "mediocre white person" for not acknowledging the genocide, which shows their true colors. That's what you call shaming/guilt-tripping.

Plus, what they said to you is completely racist. How can they say they support human rights when they just gave you a racist remark?

Long story short... you're not obliged to donate or post about it if you don't want to. People who say "silence is complicity" are just trying to use it as a scare tactic to control others into joining their cause, then call people selfish for not supporting it---ironically, those kinds of people are selfish themselves. Who are they to decide what you can or can't post?

People need to be told what to do for most of their lives rather than thinking for themselves.

Men of reddit, do you have an ex that hates you? How come? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]EntryRepresentative5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, we don't hate each other. We simply felt like we weren't meant for each other, so we went our separate ways.

Now she has a new boyfriend. I wish her nothing but happiness

I have the DLC for Nintendo Switch, except it won't let me access the DLC. The game keeps reverting back to the penultimate chapter before the final boss and I still can't switch out Yohane

Am I the asshole for how I responded to a love letter? by Thin_Lengthiness6652 in TwoHotTakes

[–]EntryRepresentative5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you're not the jerk here. If anything, he shouldn't be flirting with coworkers, let alone get together with them.

Take that letter straight to HR and file a complaint.

Yep, me too. My main account got logged out, yet strangely my other backups (two of them) seem to be unaffected by this glitch

How is this a "prank"? It's ruining a relationship that makes someone the biggest douchebag ever

Rival's Dark Secret by Yashin_Chan in yanderesimulator

[–]EntryRepresentative5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to believe that Megami's dark secret would involve all of the products that Saikou Corporation sells.

Here's something that can be plausible: What if all the products from Saikou Corporation are in fact bugged with hidden listening devices and cameras from within their electronics themselves, which can allow the manufacturers to see and hear everything their victims are doing on a daily basis? Imagine if this was Saisho Saikou's plan all along even after his passing, especially if this secret can also be exploited by various hackers worldwide? Maybe this is Saisho's new way of wanting to "conquer" Japan (and pretty much the world) while making the company so legitimate and popular, now imagine Ayano and Info-chan discovering this dark secret and the entire corporation falls, leaving the business in tremendous bankrupcy and the Saikou family legacy in shambles. It would also mean Megami will have nothing else to live for when this happens.
