steam has changed people’s login names when they cited the fact it contains their deadname and they want it changed. so contact their support about it

oh dang that’s so cool! thank you for sharing
probably because the screenshot was found on a platform that would shadow delete a post for “bad words”, think tiktok or instagram
oh yeah right, wasn’t v the precursor to u?
yea precisely. Sound design is less about how it really sounds, but more about how you think it should sound + some flair to make it a show.
Fun fact! sometimes in movies when there’s a big fire sound designers will put animal roars into the fire sounds to add an extra layer of fear you don’t even realise your body is going to react to
I think this is more of a defence against scammers honestly, with a convincing enough scam you could make valve belive an account holder was dead and you’re a family member wanting to transfer their account to yours.
Hell, I saw my dead friend’s account message me in Russian, contacted support about it, and all they could do was remove the hacker’s access, not even lock or delete that account.
And how could they? Unless you have your full name, address, and other identifying information somewhere on your account (strongly ill-advised, obviously) Valve can’t cross check it with a death certificate and take action, for all they know you could be cooperating with the hacker or submitting fake information to “prank” your friend by getting their account removed.
Allowing account transfers would open a whole new can of worms.
Just write down the password and login if you know you’re going to go. I don’t think Valve under Gabe would have issues with that. Though I do worry for its future
ohhh thank you! yeah my 2 year old knives definitely need a whetstone at this point. I suppose the honing rod can only help you so far
but then suddenly somewhere in the description of them eating stale bread it turns out 2 weeks have passed
I think this is Tolkien describing the history of the world. Like I get it, important council, but it’s been 5 pages please, I will remember none of the 10 new character names I don’t even know how to pronounce
the sound design of the real world is rather boring and often unappealing. Sound designers on movies are gods of those audiotary universes, they will paint it however they want
dang, what does the rod do? It was sold under the name of “knife sharpener”
oh that reminds me, I need a proper whetstone, the metal rod thingy from tesco’s is just not (making it so my knives are properly) cutting it
nah IQ tests are more or less bullshit, they’re incredibly flawed and biased, only situation you’d see me talking about them at lenght is bashing the entire concept of trying to quantify general intelligence
mmm, unironically sounds like me. According to my iq test i had PhD level intelligence at 18, and what am i doing at 24? unemployed, playing video games, and crying
oh same haha, if someone asks me a question they’re getting the answer, i don’t care that they expected a “i’m fine”
bang on the doors of the AI customer support until you get to a human and they’ll do it for you! taking the power of being able to cancel normally away from you is by design. Legally they have to give you some way out, but only if you 1) pay them more (default option) 2) demand they do it through their support channels
fuck adobe
to this day, I find 15 million merits to be one of the most terrifying episodes.
Would you sell your soul for a peaceful life?
I don’t know about you but I can’t answer that question. And it terrifies me.
be advised: this will not work with the majority of neurodivergent people
how so?
edit: if you mean the “Sir/Ma’am” bit I belive it is a valid assumption to make that a transphobe wouldn’t consider other options lmao
I know right? It baffles me how transphobes use “science” to be transphobic, like Sir/Ma’am, where in the chromosomes is it written “woman” or “man” or any of the stereotypes attached to those words. We made that shit up, we looked at what was there and then added meaning to it that wasn’t there. We interpreted the data according to our current age’s biases. Sure those wiggly things usually determine the parts you’re born with, but where in those parts is it written that women are soft and belong in the kitchen?
If you were to do some unethical science you can even add/block hormones that go into the fetus during its development for it to develop bits that it wouldn’t normally. Hell, you can do that well after birth and new features will develop because human bodies are rather “customisable”
sorry rant over, I don’t often get to talk about this from this perspective because getting into the intricacies of subjectivity of science in regards to how human beings and our languages are flawed is a bit too advanced for the average bigot
a big group of people have always liked feet. It’s one of those kinks accidentally caused by our anatomy - the nerves going out to your feet connect to the spinal cord close to the nerves going out to your genitals, and sometimes the signal travels along both lines.
It’s such a close connection many people, myself included, can feel a particularly strong orgasm in their feet. It’s a very distinct feeling as if electricity running down through your leg, into the foot, and “climaxing” in your ring toe, making it curl and twitch a bit (i also suspect this is the exact reason why the ring toe is associated with love [though idk how farspread this factoid is]). I don’t have a foot fetish but I can definitely see how it’d be very easy to create an association between strong arousal and feet
and per the popularity part - people are just much more open about the kinks they have. To the point where even vanilla people start getting curious about soft kinks like spanking, blindfolds, or fluffy handcuffs
