Creative? Fleshy? Stylish? And very strange: The Neon Demon (2016) - IMDb

It is really not for all. As for me, it has one of the best wtf moments, but you need to watch the movie to the end, and not much viewers can do it, because the authors constantly lull and distract the viewer with a strange unhurried pace and plot.

Great movie. I really like the Pusher trilogy from the same director, Bronson and Drive are also great. Valhalla Rising was a hard watch for me though...

You get trading cards because of the time you played a game. So if you open a game, and it is running, you might get a trading card after 4 hours.
Even if you never did play the game, just started it.
So if you are proud of it, I think you meant achievements. ;)

Well time played = achievements were earned too (or I'd have gotten bored with it lol)

Discord trolls also use token loggers. I got caught this way (even with 2FA enabled for discord). Without going in to a lot of detail I can tell you that I was blackmailed, reported it to discord, who then returned with the response that I was the one blackmailing and suspended *my* account! This person had gained access to my browser settings too, so no doubt it looked like me doing the trolling after my accounts were compromised. I got my discord account recovered and reinstated, but what a hassle. (btw I never use my real phone number but when that blackmailer was showing me my real details, I was scared for sure.. but then when he got to my phone number, I knew exactly which website account was compromised first - after discord, of course. Maybe tmi here, but added so you can see I panicked for a good reason, rather than the time limited threat I also got.)

Yes, you can get your accounts back, but what a nightmare it is, esp if you have live financial accounts (cc's for example) attached to any online accounts. Hard lesson learned! I have Steam Guard, but I also have removed the my browsers' password saving options, I log out of every account as soon as I'm done and everything has at least 2FA now. The hope is that if it's now difficult for me, the account owner, to log in to every single site I use, then it's a nightmare (and hopefully near impossible) for anyone else to do so. I changed passwords repeatedly to have 24 or more characters over a couple of weeks, and then it dawned on me that my entire pc was prob not secure (ie that every password change was logged). After a scan with malwarebytes I was horrified to discover SIX trojans that windows defender let slip by. I also changed to a better firewall. Now I'm not trying to make anyone as paranoid as I now am, just raise awareness in online security. These trolls dont care that it also affects your real life and I hope that none of you have to ever go thru what I've recently dealt with.

Off topic for this thread, I know. .rant over lol 🤪 :ROFLMAO:

(y) Thanks for sharing! Some people think they are immune to scams, but anyone can become a victim ...
And, like you wrote, windows 'defender' is not enough. A firewall is one tool to make a computer more safe.

Edit: I forgot to mention. We are in the Gamer's Lair. So your post is very much on topic! :cool:

Maybe making poll is not even necessary , for example yesterday I recommended couple of horror movies and everybody chipped in . Besides I really hate bothering Paula , she's always first line of the defence when this site f...s up (which is quite often) , where are the other members of support staff. ..

I'm getting the feeling that the Lootboy coin lootpacks from events are rigged. For example, if you get 4 tickets from the current Fortnite themed lootpack, you can get 400 diamonds.
The thing is, I got 3 tickets in the first days and now it refuses to drop the fourth. And the supposed "grand prize" requires TEN tickets. Yeah, I know you have to spend money to get more chances, but this is ridiculous. Feels like a really bad bait.

If you go to the Balenciaga market page on Lootboy the picture indicates that you can get only 3 letters from the 2000 coin lootpacks. The 4th one you'd have to get from one of the 2 premium packs that can drop it. According to user posts on Steamgifts the letters are not that rare as a drop in premium packs. The worst I saw was it turning up in the 5th pack for somebody. For me personally it dropped from the second pack I purchased. So I spent 200 diamonds and got back 400 diamonds (and a Steam key from my first purchase).

In general it seems to be a good idea to save up your diamonds to be able to take advantage of special promos like this. Most popular target seems to be saving up 1000 diamonds for a promo where you get a guaranteed 5 USD Steam wallet code if you buy 10 packs at once.
