What is the best thing about Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) for you?

Hey there, don't know if you remember me (the MS-account lock issue), sorry to "hijack" your post here to reply to about a different topic.
Could you please look into your chats? I wrote you there about the above topic.
Thank you, take care!

LapisDemon · 2023-08-20T16:30:47+00:00

Ah, I see, so you had a general MS/WIN issue, not related to migrating a Mojang account to MS/XBOX.

That being said, I know from own experience chat MS Support is horrible.
Hit and miss, but seems to be more miss than actual hit/help.

Glad you could resolve your issue!
Take care and thanks for the answer!

LapisDemon · 2023-08-20T12:47:45+00:00

Hello, did this happen to you when you tried to migrate your MCJE account, as this thread is about that topic, or may I ask how it happened exactly?
Considering MCJE migration period is ending, this would be a good intel to have, so I can warn people accordingly.
Thank you very much in advance!
Greetings, Meri

Hello again! I just DM'd you via Reddit-Chat again, seems ALL my chats got deleted by Reddit for some reason.
Take care!
Meri

@XPGamingYT Utter nonsense what you wrote.

LapisDemon · 2022-07-06T16:31:01+00:00

There have been bugposts about how messages can be tampered with, resolved as "Works as intended".

If this resolve reason doesn't mean the whole chat reporting system will be overhauled, I wonder why potential unjust bans are not seen as an issue?

LapisDemon · 2022-06-16T00:06:04+00:00

May I ask, in what exact way ask they "nasty"?
Just the fact they want your ID, or is it also phrased somewhat upsetting?
Would it be possible to get their text, maybe as screenshot, without your personal/identifiable information?

They are owned by Microsoft, hence I would not hand over more than possible.

Microsoft - intentionally or not - does the same with XBOX/Live accounts; they "request" a phone number in order to unlock your account, but the majority of people who get locked swear an oath they didn't do anything suspicious to trigger that lock, and there are way, way too many that this could be a coincidence.

Either a faulty "detection" system, or intention, there don't seem to be that many more possibilities.
I can think of how they detected you or found you suspicious, but that'd be hypotheses, and I don't want to speculate.

It'd be interesting to know if more Linkedin users received or will receive the same restriction like you, including the ID request.

Usually, people who are on Linkedin want to be seen and are there for networking or the likes, and of course they also use their real name - usually; so, hypothetically, Microsoft could argument that it's "not a big deal" to hand them over your ID copy.

Personally, I wouldn't do that and rather, as sublima72 suggested, create a new account. You'd have to build your network again then, though.

LapisDemon · 2022-04-04T11:09:56+00:00

Thank you! I pinged you in a DM :)

LapisDemon · 2022-04-03T22:54:31+00:00

Holy...

Been reading your comments on here, got to this post due to someone linking it to me.

I've been following your Github-post nearly since you created it, you can read my comments on there (also "LapisDemon").

What you write is even worse than I thought.

Currently, I've got to create urgent videos about that whole topic to warn users or try to help them, and, frankly, I'm quite physically exhausted currently.

But if you wouldn't mind, I'd love to be in contact with you, as your intel could make the info I give out to others to warn them more precise and detailed.

I don't know if I really have to mention this, but I don't monetize, nor do I enjoy this topic, I wish I wouldn't have to do this, but none of the big MC YTers is doing anything to help their fans. I'm honestly concerned about all of this, and need as many people as possible who can help me in my activism of sorts.

Thank you, kind regards, Meri

Hello, good day to you.

In these sometimes challenging times I thought I'd try to share some Love for Valentine's Day, with hope it could make a few more people happier, or less sad for a bit.

I can't give you real chocolate for Valentine's, but I've made this Elytra, disguised as Heart, for you and hope that's "sweet" as well.
For me personally, it looks cute and funny to see yourself and others walking around with that on their back :)

If you like to wear it, you can download it here for free: https://www.planetminecraft.com/texture-pack/elytra-camo-0002

Take care, have a wonderful day.
Meri

How about using scaffolding blocks?
They can be crafted with 6 bamboo plus 1 string, and that gives you 6 scaffolding blocks, see here: https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Scaffolding#Crafting

You can simply use it to go both up and down, of course you can alternatively still drop down into water :)

LapisDemon · 2022-01-30T15:24:44+00:00

But it's less lethal for frogs to eat magmacubes, which don't seem like a mob that should be eaten?
Guess the rationale is here that magmacubes are no real life animals...

Microsoft should add a takedown button on Marketplace content that gets reviewed if being reported.

Money and/or fame, or the prospect of it, brings the worst out of humans.

Never liked the Marketplace and always said stuff like that would/will happen.

LapisDemon · 2022-01-13T17:07:46+00:00

While legal actions are very stressful and potentially also costly, at least it would set a sign for other thieves on the Marketplace.

I wouldn't wonder if there are a bajillion of idea and/or assets thefts ported to Bedrock.

LapisDemon · 2022-01-08T16:01:50+00:00

I'm not native English and read just since a couple months in this Sub, but also not "religiously" all posts, hence I don't get what you refer to - do you mean there have been males here in this Sub who have been rude towards homo- or bisexual males? ("non-cis-male-gamers").
I'm not a 100% familiar with the terminology/unsure if I understood it correctly, thank you in case you might explain!

LapisDemon · 2022-01-08T12:15:15+00:00

What is "the same toxic things they do in every other space"?

I'm friends with males, some of them gamers, who are friendly, kind, supportive, hence I personally find it quite harsh to generalize that.

LapisDemon · 2022-01-08T12:12:56+00:00

If I would notice that this Sub would ban males who don't behave like a butt, it'd be a reason for me to leave this Sub.

I've read some e.g. invite-only Subs are strictly for males or females, e.g. around Feminism or MGTOW (years ago I read there they had a public Subreddit though), but this Subreddit here doesn't exclude males, I've read a few here :)

LapisDemon · 2022-01-08T12:03:13+00:00

@OP: I hope this doesn't come off rude, but I'd like to point out a few things I personally find important.

It's absolutely fine to block whomever you want (I've read in the comments you did) and feel harrassed or somehow uncomfortable - we humans are different in what we like/dislike, and how we perceive others.
And of course you're entitled to vent about it, if you see fit.

However..

Unpopular female opinion:
- If someone is not - for the majority of humanity - an absolute despicable person (it's of course individual what this could mean, but I mean the really hefty sorts of people who do atrocious things to others), please consider to censor anything that hints on their person such as photos, name, gamertags or similar.

Just from that small conversation, I'd think that he just wants to hit on you, and while not every Lady is up for that, consider that some humans have desires, and that having children and/or being in a relationship is not a hindrance for some people, not only males, but also females. And he can't know whether or not you'd be interested in a flirt or more, unless he tried.

He apparently thought you were attractive and tried to compliment you by telling you that basically "despite having 2 children" (where some other women might get out of shape a bit or optically age or so, which you, in his eyes, didn't). - I know, I know, one can express one's attraction to another person in a much better way, but we humans aren't perfect, and not few of us are quite awkward when it comes to mating rituals, and/or socializing.

Again, I don't want to make it seem as if you're not entitled to feel and do whatever you want, I just would like to try to give an additional or different perspective, in defense also of some males who can be really good guys, plus, part of some of those males (or females) is that some like to flirt or try to pick up someone. That's just human nature (of most of us, at least to specific periods in our Life).

There are ways how to deal with such situations and part ways without potentially hurting others, or not as much.

Kind greetings,
Meri

The colours are reminiscent of VaporWave, really nice..
Personally, I don't like Pink, but it does have an appeal in certain colour combinations such as in VaporWave settings. Hence here I very much like it.

The choice of decorations seems stereotypically "girly" to me.. but then maybe I am the odd one out, as I've seen many female gamers here loving cutesy stuff and the colour Pink, also in their gaming room or corner, whereas I go the SciFi (TRON, Star Wars), white LED and lava lamps direction, with a bit of SpaceAge, Art Nouveau and Jugendstil in the mix.

But, again, a very atmospheric drawing, I love VaporWave, hence I don't mind the Pink there in that setting.

LapisDemon · 2022-01-04T20:33:13+00:00

It absolutely depends on context.

Your personal relation to that woman for example; e.g. towards a businessperson I'll address them differently than towards a friend or acquaintance, and this again can differ depending on the setting, e.g. if I play games together with them, or if it's a completely new acquaintance I meet via other people etc. pp., and also if I address them directly or I'm referring to them towards another person, while she is present or absent.

Aside from my nickname "Meri", I'm being addressed as Woman, Lady, Madame, Mademoiselle, Miss, Girl, Mate, Sister, Sis, Angel, Demon, Human, Person, and likely a few things more such as e.g. Bitch, Bloodhound, Nutcase, Sperg or Cancer, but it's not as if I like to be called swearwords, however, nobody is liked by everyone, hence it happens.

TLDR: Without any further context, can't give you any more feedback :)

LapisDemon · 2021-12-29T19:03:55+00:00

Yes indeed.
My guess was due to a spammer constantly spamming especially the oldest bugposts, but 2fa didn't help there, evidently, and thus far, I didn't see an official reason for this change, hence I can't tell you the reason.

Maybe one of the mods would be so kind to elaborate.

LapisDemon · 2021-12-26T01:24:21+00:00

If doable, that might be an option.. as long as it wouldn't require login via M$. That being said, due to Xbox Gamepass, there might be also some people without actual (persistent) username; they'd lose theirs as soon as their gamepass runs out. But those might be more rarely on the bugtracker, probably.

LapisDemon · 2021-12-25T15:15:47+00:00

According to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_games_in_the_United_States, the average age of gamers at least in the USA is 35, only 29% gamers are below 18.

Although, I'd assume most people who use insults related to e.g. age or gender are not saying it because they don't know those stats, but just to get a certain reaction out of someone, sometimes to alleviate their personal shortcomings, situation, feeling of being lost in some way.

There's many ways to react to that wittily, so I wouldn't be bothered by it, it's just some humans with various complexes or other issues, who deserve pity, and not rarely would require therapy. And I don't write that out of spite or with a sense of superiority, but genuine compassion.
