FirmDistribution, do games w Video games, random friend requests, and scammers!

how do you lemmings deal with these random friend invites?

Dude, just talk to the person. You already seem to know every possible red flag there is. If they do something shady, you’ll know, but there’s also the possibility they’re just looking for friends.

I’ve made friendships online that are going for more than a decade at this point. I’m not saying you should trust everyone, but maybe just be less suspicious and let time show you what kind of person you’re taking to, it will reveal if the person is friendly or not.

if skyrim is the best they can muster, by all means.

it’s more honest than ubisoft rereleasing the same garbage with a different name over and over again, but trying to pretend it’s something new every time.

Postmortal_Pop,

The least they could do is turn it into an evergreen game like Minecraft or valheim. Instead of just printing another copy, go back and add 5 quests and 30ft² of area. Go to nexus, find the top 100 mods, pay their makers $5 and put them in the credit roll to integrate them permanently into the game. I haven’t paid for skyrim since I bought it for the 360 and I would gladly buy a copy for every person I know if they did something like that.

BigBananaDealer,

thats what they are doing actually lol theyve added a shitton of creation club content to the new editions of the game

The most consistent DRG group I play with is women, so not that far fetched IMO. To your concern about leaking your IP, steam uses their own networking solutions to conceal your IP in non peer to peer games based on the settings under “Steam / Settings / In-Game / Steam Networking”. Check that and read up on the options and what they do.

The only people I’ve friended online that I didn’t know in person were other people who play Skullgirls, because it was the only way to pick their brain on how I can improve, or even just to send a “ggs”. These days, we’re basically all in the same Discord server, so I can usually start typing @ and a few letters of the name they used in quick match and find them pretty easily, so it’s been a while. Still, those people are mostly strangers to me, and sometimes their accounts get hacked. The scam I’ve seen multiple times at this point is that they need people to go to an external site and vote for them to get approved for a Counter-Strike ranked league or something. I don’t know how it works, but I’m not clicking that link. If that’s how that CS ranked league works, find another one with a better method of letting you in.

There are a lot of bots on Steam. If I get a random friend request from someone I don't recognize who has only F2P games in their account, or just no playtime in anything that I play, I ignore it.

But if it's someone you've been playing with, that's a human. A bot would've just gone straight to the scam as soon as you accept their friend request.

I'm guessing they're probably talking about Discord, which is what most people use for voice chat these days (and other social media-y stuff). It's not a virus or anything, but it is another proprietary corporate-owned social media platform, which I'm sure a lot of us here on Fedi might have opinions about.

Followers agree probably the best resource. I think enlightenment ritual is super useful for getting devotion to unlock buildings and upgrades. You can also become a cannible which is significantly helpful for increasing faith with, again, is good for building devotion, plus no need for buriels. Most people pick grass eater, this advice might come too late.

I never end up being able to handle cannibalism in games. I think hearing about the Donner Party really put me off from it, even if they’re as close as you can get to “Moral Cannibalism”

Gaja0,

Understandable. I only felt pressure to pick a different route from my spouse.

I would play matchmaking in Halo MCC more if the game wasn’t filled with cheaters. At least when I host custom games, I can ban them and move on.

Zahille7,

My suggestion would be to play the “normal” version with anticheat

Todd is waiting for that fan made Skyrim UE5 remake so he can copy-paste it and ask for our money.

All the AAA publishers seem to have turned into ponzi schemes.

iamthetot,

How are they a Ponzi scheme?

I don’t mind playing more Skyrim. It’s good.

Unsettling that I could recognize Mii Todd Howard from the thumbnail. Have graphics gone too far?

I’m still waiting on a Wolfenstein sequel.

areakode,

Trump’s working on turning that into a live action movie!
