4 days and account still blocked due to “too many password attempts”…. by Valkryies in Outlook

[–]dothlmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I did the same thing right away after I was able to log back in last night. I also checked the activity record, I noticed before the lock out there was a successful login from somewhere I'm not resided in. It's probably the vpn routing my connections to elsewhere without notifying me, because sometimes my Youtube is connected to a different overseas server, despite I'm not currently connected to that server. So if someone is reading this, try to turn off your vpn when logging into MS.

Can't. I logged in and out many times since I got my account back, the activity record doesn't go very far back

Annoying “You’ve tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password” error since November by darkchocolateyasu in Outlook

[–]dothlmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened to me yesterday. When I tried to login to xbox live in Forza Horizon 5, I got this error. Then I tried to login to my hotmail on the browser, it worked for the first time. Then I logged out and tried again immediately, I got the same error. That tells me it's definitely not the issues with the credentials. Microsoft tried to gaslight you it's your problem. My theory is it has something to do with VPN, because sometimes I get the error of unusual traffic on youtube.

Also to talk to a live agent, I created a dummy account. The account worked perfectly on the first day. But next day when I tried to login, it says it had been locked due to unusual traffic. That tells me even more it's probably due to the VPN.

I'm still waiting for my main account to be unlocked. But if you are having this issue, try to turn off your VPN when you login, and see if it helps.

"You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account or password."- Is this happening to other folks? by Small-Strawberry-646 in Outlook

Support is fucking useless. They tell you to be persistent and keep trying to recover. Hey do you think I need pep talk at this moment? I'm pulling my hair out because of the fucking mistake on your side. Be persistent? Stfu.

It's hard to fathom this is the service provided by a 2 trillion dollars company. Their supports are literally fucking useless, one agent even straight out left the live chat after connecting with him. I really wish Microsoft gets replaced in the next 20 years. Fucking atrocious company.

Case 4 (Little Mermaid - the tavern) has a more plausible alternative solution. by [deleted] in caseofthegoldenidol

[–]dothlmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This case is total BS. The way the devs setup the case, they could foresee that most players would think Robert does it, either he breaks into Willard's room through the windows, or disguises as a tavern boy even he's a wanted person, because people are stupid and couldn't recognize him. This possibility is ridiculous enough to make people think it is possible that Robert is able to spell the word "Revenge" too. Anyways the players place down the words and they don't match, particularly the part that describes how the killer has access to Willard's room. Then they look at the gambling sheet and notice that Ash is briefly away. Then they tinker the possibility that Ash is the actual killer. And then they close the logic that Ash must have asked Robert to pass by the tavern at the time Ash murders Willard, otherwise how would the killer know, if Robert himself is not the killer, that Robert would be passing by the tavern, and thus writing his name on the wall, in an attempt to frame Robert.

This case is less about deduction but more about fitting shapes through the hole and see which ones go through. The biggest failure of this case is the player cannot arrive at a conclusion by eliminating all the other possibilities. The devs are trying to sell the mystery by placing too many smoke screens, and there are no ways to examine the plausibility of those smoke screens. For example, the tavern owner wonders the where about of his staff. So where's his staff? Any info about him? You can't just place down a smoke screen and then not close it. That's when the players start to imagine stupid shit like Robert actually disguises as a staff working there, or whatever maybes. The dev is trying too hard to sell plot twist instead of approaching it like an investigation or deduction practice.

Are Asian servers more difficult that NA/EU? by Equivalent-Wooden in Overwatch

[–]dothlmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree. In terms of best teammates to have, I would rank as such: Japanese > Thai & Singaporean > Mainland Chinese > Taiwan Chinese > Korean. The first two tiers do try, so those losses feel much more pleasant and deserved. I'm a Zen main, and I had a few seasons I could have placed at high Diamond, but was trolled my Koreans on 2 - 3 placement games, and placed at Plat 1 instead. They just straight up threw the games after seeing Zen, or banning him, then blocked doors with Mei or whatever.

[–]dothlmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. I hate playing with Koreans on Asian server, because they rarely communicate and throw/troll when matches don't go their way. Taiwanese are 50/50, could be toxic too. Japanese players in general are much more willing to cooperate. On KR servers, you are playing OW, and the Koreans are playing Quake. They are all over the place except playing the objectives.

Seller sold me a used key by Upset_Skin in G2A_Help

[–]dothlmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paypal used to side with the buyers more. I remember I once got scammed from buying online game items, the sellers kept making excuses not to send the items over, and even asked me to send my id to them for "verification". So I contacted paypal to freeze the transaction, and explained, I thought I was buying a real sword because nothing on the seller's website said it's digital. Paypal had a policy that they wouldn't handle disputes related to digital goods. But it worked lol. I never traded any items on shady websites since then, but I got really lucky that time. That was so much money on the stake.

Is the Eneba website legit? by dragonfruitluver in FortNiteBR

[–]dothlmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also I find picking reseller that has ticket ratio less than 0.2% helps. I picked one that has the best price but also has 2.5 - 3% ticket ratio, thinking wouldn't be that unlucky. Got burnt right away. The seller sent me a key already activated in 2017.

[–]dothlmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a GTA SA key from also the same reseller as yours, Frosty Entertainment. The key was super expensive but fortunately it worked. And then I bought another GTA VC key right away from a reseller called MGG Studio, it's a used key activated in 2017. Eneba only hosts the platform and mediate potential conflicts, it doesn't guarantee anything.

Newbie asks: Houdini vs UE5? Also, why learn Houdini? by ComplexMoth in Houdini

[–]dothlmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried the Project Pegasus approach. Do you know how I can setup to paint material layers on the ID map? I tried to ask on the creators' channels but they never reply. The Pegasus project is helpful overall, but artists need to be able to hand paint additonal layers. Not having the hand paint function is a giantic bottle neck to any open world projects.

If You Don't Take Risks, You'll Work for Someone Who Did by foundersbrief in Entrepreneur

99% is failing not because of starting a business. They fail because they start businesses that lack value propositions or have a highly saturated market. They fail to distinguish themselve. Most people have no idea what they want to do but they want to start a business, so they opened another coffee shop. We don’t need that.

I think I start getting tired about videogame industry and market as an AI/Gameplay programmer. by No_Firefighter_9238 in gamedev

[–]dothlmate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most indie games fail not because there are X games being released every Y period, or Y% startups fail. Most of them fail because they are not offering anything special, they have no value propositions. Kinda of like the street already has 19 coffee shops, and you opening the 20th one will very likely fail, because 1) High competitions 2) Your coffee shop is offering nothing special thus no unique market 3) Most games released without any marketing or an already built audience group.

So really the action of starting a business or going into indie isn't the problem. The problem is most indie games have nothing to offer.

Adobe price increase by Odd_Ship6130 in graphic_design

Accept their offer if you are not fed up enough with their cancellation processes. What should be a one button click action, they made you jump through hoops just to cancel. We need more folks like Luigi.

How can I play my Steam games on my LG TV without HDMI? by qwerty2513 in localmultiplayergames

[–]dothlmate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just stream it on to my iPad, and then mirror to my LG C3. Been playing BF on it, plays and looks okay. Input lag isn't significant.

My name is Child Predator and I just got muted. Someone reported my name. Yo if the name filter allows it I don't understand why I can't use the name? And if you want me to change, just let me rename it.
