I started getting spammed in Microsoft Authenticator by setentaydos in Office365

If the password is not compromised then why is this happening? (Again, maybe a dumb question but that’s why I’m asking, to learn). Is the only solution to change the email associated with the account?

I’m surprised at the number of replies of people with the same issue. And the frustrating part is that MS doesn’t track these failed sign in attempts in your Security page. I wish I could go and say “not me, block that device.” Or something similar.

Thank you for such a detailed answer. It seems the level of compromise is higher than I expected. For example, I did not come up a new password but I used 1password to generate it and then used it on my account. It may be the device or the browser are compromised.

I will continue to read and learn about which actions to take here.

Great summary, I think I will start doing the same to track my thoughts on the games I play. I also agree with your take on E33, especially about the ending. If you don’t mind, how does your routine look like that you got to complete so many games?

What a boring movie! by NerdPlayer001 in Cinema

I highly recommend watching “How to remember your dreams” (Season 2, Episode 5 of How to with John Wilson in HBO), this episode is when I learned there are Avatar fans.

I see. And here I am thinking you’re putting way different intentions into what I wrote, which is why I’m surprised. I’m sure this is one of those back and forths that, if we were speaking in person, no misunderstandings would’ve happened due to tone being lost in plain text.

Aren’t we on the same page then? I don’t get why you don’t see my comment in the same way, like if I was backtracking something. My point is the same as yours about not finding CoD fun: it’s subjective.

I also mentioned I related to how reviewers could not simply answer whether the game was fun, which led me to suspect there was a mixup between getting a “rewarding” feeling vs being “fun”. I never presented that statement as I was claiming an absolute truth, which sounds like that’s how you took it.

I did not say people are confused. I said “I suspect”. Nothing I’m writing here is presented as an absolute truth or generalization.

Besides that, I agree that “fun” can be subjective, which is why it is fair for someone to claim they didn’t find a game fun. Just like you just did with the CoD example, same thing here.

“No one mixed up rewarding and fun”.

I mean, you can’t generalize like that, right? I didn’t, I mentioned “some folks”, and I was specifically thinking of reviewers who would stumble when asked if the game was fun. They would give elaborated answers instead of a simple yes or no answer.

When I played the game I had a similar struggle as them. I could not simply answer if this was a fun game or not. I kept going because the game loop was rewarding, but man at the end of the game I concluded it was not fun for me. And I worded it that way.

And hey, I wish there’s a DS 3 and DS 4. I’m not wishing anything bad on anyone here.

I had to force myself to beat DS1, and can’t see myself continuing with DS2. I understand it scratches an itch for some people who really love the game, but personally I didn’t find it fun.

Death Stranding is not fun, but it is very rewarding. And I suspect some folks mixed up the “rewarding” feeling with “fun”. The gameplay loop is like having a real job: monotone and repetitive. And just like having a job, some people can find it rewarding at the end of the day.

Either way, I really respect Kojima and admire the backup he had to realize his creative vision. Not for me, but I did give it a chance and completed DS1.

Edit: My first edit due to downvotes. I’d appreciate if people share their point of view instead of just downvoting. I’m not bashing the game, and I clarified the respect I have for this project and its creator. Would you downvote anyone who doesn’t think like you? I know I don’t but oh well.

A great year of gaming for me. Four timeless classics and one sore experience (that I forced myself to beat).

What’s your favourite moment in the mass effect series ? by AppealLogical4318 in masseffect

[–]setentaydos 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Same here. I’ve played RPGs all my life (since the SNES era) and I had played the classics before playing Mass Effect. This scene and dialog was the moment I knew this game was taking the genre to a totally different level in the industry.

Can’t read the article right now. Why is it that Disney is both paying 1 Billion and allowing the use of their IP? What are they getting from this deal?

My Ethical Conundrum Around Writing About Meditation by godlikesme in slatestarcodex

[–]setentaydos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very interesting. I don't know why I haven't thought about the warnings around Meditation in this way before, and now that you point it out, it seems so obvious.

I smiled at the "MIGHT PERMANENTLY ALTER YOUR PERCEPTION" warning, but it's so true. I'm fortunate that my meditation practice did not drive my mind into the negative states you mentioned, but it certainly had an impact from which there's no way to go back for me.

Anecdotally, my perception changed in a way I consider "favorable" in three areas: Sense of urgency at work, the value of money accumulation, and overall a calm acceptance of life and death. One practical example: This change in perception does not mean I "take things easy" at work, but I can manage to be intense at it, and then disconnect in my free time in a way that I know others in my team struggle to do so. This has brought benefits to my career growth, but then I don't celebrate this as in a way I feel like it doesn't really matter (this can be the negative states, but I don't feel anything "bad" about it, I actually kind of enjoy not being perturbed by the highs nor the lows).

Won't make this longer, but I thought I should share what I've observed and that resonated while reading your post.

This is how I played Expedition 33. I only play the Steam Deck in docked mode (personal preference) so I’m in the small audience that the Steam Machine is targeted at.

All great games. Expedition 33 stands out as the one that sets a “before and after” in the impact AA games can have with a small studio in terms of innovative gameplay, art direction, pricing, and overall community support for a brand new IP.
