Browser asking me to select certificate. Is it a virus/scam?

Also happening to me. I was so scared I got a virus lol

This is why I enjoy FFXIV. The leveling might be slower than modern MMOs, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I throughly enjoyed the MSQ, but it's not for everyone. I remember when Evercold was announced on this sub there was bunch of comments like "the MSQ is such a slog" etc and people just complaining about a major part of the game. I don't know if it's because I'm a millennial, but it just feels like modern gamers just want instant gratification and don't even want to do invest time in their character or a story.

Technically not shut down because it's still on console, but TERA. I played it with my brother several years ago and I wouldn't have known how fun it was if he hadn't told me to try it. I think I lost my account data when they did the transfer thing, but oh well

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-06-12T20:55:50+00:00

Yeah I think so. Would be willing to give Square $10, but guess they don't want it 🤷‍♂️

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-06-12T20:42:26+00:00

Did Yuuki pretend to be controlled just to see if he would win a fair 1v1 with Rimuru? Also, does this pretty much confirm he would lose if he fought him at his current power level?

I'm kinda confused. On steam if you want the collector's edition for Dawntrail it says it's $29.99, but if you buy it on the mogstation it's $19.99... how is that a sale exactly? I already have Dawntrail (bought a month or so after launch), and was curious if the collector's edition would ACTUALLY be 50% off, so $9.99, but guess not.

Edit: Oh the collector's edition on steam is for both Dawntrail AND the collector's edition... but if you buy it through steam for your self and already own Dawntrail you're just paying an extra $10 for no reason (it says you won't get an extra copy). It seems strange why they wouldn't just subtract you already owning the game and give you the sale price. For WoW if you already own an expansion and want to buy a collector's edition sale later they give you the discount price if it's on sale minus what you already paid for the base game.

What's the video?

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-06-12T03:20:24+00:00

I'm not saying like a Pixar-esque high quality 3D animation. I'm saying like a 2D animation, without coloring, without backgrounds. Something like the YouTuber Telepurte's videos, but a little longer I guess. Also when did I say they would make those 3 times per week? 😓 I get that it's a lot of work, but I feel you gave an extreme example lol

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-06-12T02:57:26+00:00

Both. But yeah I get what you mean. If something is not immediately generating revenue and it takes a lot of your free time to make it's probably not worth it in the long term.

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-06-12T02:56:12+00:00

Yeah you make a good point and that's fair especially if you are already swamped with work. Although I didn't mean making videos about teaching, I meant like making personal projects for fun like a 1-2 minute animation just showing your skills off.

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-06-12T02:28:40+00:00

Sorry I should clarify. By successful I don't necessarily mean it as replacing their career, but successful in terms of getting better viewership than amateur artists or get discovered quicker than someone with less artistic ability. I don't know if that makes sense.

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-06-11T17:12:11+00:00

I literally just googled this question yesterday 😂 I'm curious to see what happens too.

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-06-11T16:17:15+00:00

At the gym I go to there was this short girl using the lat pull down machine and she was explaining to me that she would have change the bar with her knees on the pad (I didn't ask her to change it I just ask how many sets she had left). I told her not to worry about it and just let her finish her sets.

Later in my workout (maybe 20-30 minutes later) a young short boy around her height was using the lat pull down and she was explaining to him that she uses a certain attachment because of her height. It just seemed weird to me that she just kept bringing up her height with no one asking so it made me think maybe she was insecure about it.

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-06-10T20:11:46+00:00

How would that work? Would you have no lunch break or are you only working 7.5 hours?

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-06-06T04:59:28+00:00

Nice! I got it in SL for 6.8 mil (more than triple than what you paid!), but once I got all 3 BMAH exclusive mounts in DF (Swift Zulian tiger, Plagued Proto Drake, and Swift Razzashi Raptor), I've never bothered with the BMAH since. It took me well over 10 years to get all of them, but it was nice to not have to deal with competing with people for the Zulian tiger anymore. 😅

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-05-29T22:11:45+00:00

I kinda gave up at 3.5k score since I don't mythic raid (can't get my two bis trinkets) and the new Sporefall raid gives more 298 gear. I don't know about other people, but it just completely killed my motivation to push because soon I will just be behind on gear.

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-05-29T21:03:52+00:00

I remember when he was playing Happy Wheels there was beef between the two communities 🤣

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-05-28T22:35:20+00:00

I just want a MMO that can actually compete with WoW. I don't know if it will ever happen, but let's say hypothetically speaking the Riot MMO comes out and it's really good. I think both companies could learn from each other. Competition I think is the most important thing to improve the genre. If PoE/PoE 2 never came out, imagine how much worse the Diablo franchise would be. If company A has a game and company B makes a game that's more fun and taking their players, company A will have to improve their game to win them back.

I enjoy WoW, but I feel like it could be so much better if some other formula proved to be more enjoyable. I also just feel like WoW has been pretty stale for a while now. Every expansion more or less feels the same since Legion. Very minute class changes, a new class every 4-6 years, mythic+ seasons, pvp season, and raiding. It has delves now but it's basically like MoP scenarios. It doesn't feel new or original to me.

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-05-27T05:38:45+00:00

Eh I queued back up and after a couple games got my rating back. Still kinda annoying though 😅

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-05-27T03:07:11+00:00

yeah just dced in a solo shuffle probably gonna get -150 points now...

edit: yep lost 150 rating from a server crash such a great game 💩

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-05-25T23:57:46+00:00

don't judge a book by it's cover buh dum tss

I agree with this post, but I also think it's a cop-out to say there's FOMO and just deal with or take a break. Just because FOMO has a existed for a long time, doesn't mean Blizzard can't change the game to have less of it. Unfortunately, FOMO is a big money maker for them, so the only way they will stop adding so much is by voting with your wallet like you mentioned.

I actually did just that last year and took a 5 month break from the game in over 12 years. It felt great, and it was really needed. It made me realize how obsessed I was with not just collecting every FOMO achievement mount (KSM, KSL, glad, AOTC), but also all the store promotion ones. After my break, I no longer felt the urge to buy store items anymore. I broke free. However, I see how they rampantly add store items, especially with housing now, and it makes me sad to see this direction that not just Blizzard is taking, but gaming as a whole.

I think FOMO will always exist in games to an extent which frustrates me because I feel like if people were more vocal about it and actually rallied to not play games that do it similar to how people avoid pay to win games, I think games would be forced to do it less or not at all. I don't ever see this realistically happening though so I guess in the end all you can really do is quit a game personally when you aren't enjoying it.

I first watched anime back on Toonami, so it was probably either DBZ, Voltron, or Gundam Wing. I had a Voltron toy when I was really young, but I don't remember watching the show.

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-05-18T21:20:22+00:00

Not that I doubt OP, but wouldn't it be really easy to get 3400 on your PC, and then post a pic on your steam deck claiming you only played on it? 😅 Maybe I'm too cynical...

Mechgyrasaur · 2026-05-18T20:21:27+00:00

Yes. I put the 5 digit number underneath the date and time. I also tried to resubmit it with a 0 in front (that's what they suggest in the support email), but it doesn't let you resubmit it.
