Weird thread for the discussion but I hope someone gets around to replacing the entire concept of the password because it's getting unworkable at this point

How is it weird? This thread has historically been for discussing anything but free games.

I don't know how common it is but I worked in a shop that had a "joke" OSI model with an 8th layer - the user layer. Instead of calling a user or admin an idiot we'd just call it a Layer 8 error

What the gently caress did you just loving say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Nerd Squad, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on LastPass, and I have over 300 confirmed passwords. I am trained in gorilla lexigrams and I'm the top h4x0r in the entire US armed chairs. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will packet inject you the gently caress out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my loving words. You think you can get away with saying that poo poo to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of chan posters across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your email account. You're loving dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can h4x0r you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my keyboard. Not only am I extensively trained in keyboard combat, but I have access to a mouse and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable rear end off the face of the google.com, you little poo poo. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will poo poo fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're loving dead, kiddo.

Is there any comprehensive service that texts your phone or some such with a code whenever you log into anything? That would be obnoxious, but secure.HenryEx posted:If you're using passphrases, go out of your way to pick one or two words in a different language. Of course it's best if you use pass phrases that aren't in English at all, but using two or even three different languages in pass phrases drastically reduces the possibility of dictionary attacks. I do this in French, but be careful... a lot of systems have problems with diacritical marks, which French is loaded with. I've had problems getting back into things because I used é, ê, ç etc I agree that non-English words are a great idea, just leave off the accents.

It’s actually trivially easy to trick someone in cell companies into giving a phone number to you — sure, it will eventually get fixed and taken back, but you only need that one text. My partner receives a phone call whenever they need to log into their work. An automated voice gives them a code and that’s their second factor. It is the dumbest thing I’ve seen in quite some time in how much work it takes for how little security it offers

How much were they offering? You should just say "not enough $" until they actually offer you something that's more than enough or stop emailing.

This is why you have a different password for anything you have sensitive on it and then "poopybutthole" for your dumbass accounts you sign up to get free poo poo for. Sure, have my account on "greymarketshadyshit.com" that I used poopybutthole on to get that one game code that I immediately added to steam and then forgot about the account. It has no details or real information on it anyway. It's not even linked to my non-spam email account.

Adios and Hell Is Others are free on EGS today. Adios is supposed to be good, I haven't heard of the other one.

# ? Jan 26, 2023 18:05 |

Adios is a narrative game where you play as a pig farmer who after years of helping the mafia dispose of bodies, tells their contact that they want out. The contact says sure, but that the farmer knows what has to be done and will see him again in 24 hours to kill him.

And next week's free Epic games are: City of Gangsters, a tycoon game about your gang taking over a Prohibition-era city. Other people can say if it's actually good, but the concept's pretty clear. Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, the standalone DLC for Dishonored 2 about the assassin from the first game's DLC and his old apprentice killing the weird rear end in a top hat god-being that keeps giving people the ability to teleport.

I have not played Death Of the Outsider but the character seems to me that if someone capable of killing him said, "I'm going to kill the Outsider," he would say Okay and 1000% be on board just to see what happens. Such a fun loving setting.

Well gently caress, that's what I get for buying a game on sale with the intention of playing it later. Now I can't play it because it will be free.

You can play it because you sacrificed yourself for the rest of us.

is Death of the Outsider supposed to be the best one or what? I dropped D2 after the clockwork mansion because something about Arcane games just don't feel good to me and I struggle to stick with them idk why. I bought the DLC ages ago so i am immune to free game non-play law

My understanding is that if you liked Dishonored 2 here you go more Dishonored 2 but with a new character and abilities.

I think this whole "can't play because it's free" joke is stupid elitism. You can just as easily not play games you've paid for. Let us henceforth ban all playing of games and severely punish anyone foolish enough to play. Break down this wall of elitism! That way nobody has to worry about if they got the game for money or email addresses or otherwise. It will vastly improve peace of mind.
