I've literally never had a service provider email me my own password ever. Maybe a OTP, but never my actual password. And especially not in plaintext.

What would be the necessity behind emailing someone their own password? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a password? Email isn't secure.

So why would an agent at Larian have man-in-the-middle access between the password being sent to the server, and the auto-hash?

normies.

You're putting too much faith in the talent and insight of marketing executives. Large companies throw tens of millions of dollars at their marketing department. They'll spend the money on a diverse ad campaign that ticks boxes, not one that is actually effective. People don't buy based on the commercial they saw last. People buy what's shoved in their faces.

The reality is that the internet itself is at a tipping point. Advertising platforms know their service is basically worthless as most people use an adblocker, and most companies have idiotic marketing teams that don't know how to properly sell their product/service in the first place. Companies are seeing less and less ROI on their marketing budget. Without ads, the internet goes bye-bye, or it turns into a subscription model for every website.

Nope. On all of my machines I installed Windows 10 using an official usb boot disk with a distro straight from Microsoft. It was 100% free, I didn't need an account, and I'm not being prompted to activate, nor do I have the annoying little watermark in the bottom right of my screen.

I seriously don't understand how people are paying to use Windows when Microsoft gives it away for free.

People hated TFA for all of the wrong reasons (and several REALLY wrong reasons), but it was actually a decent and competent action/adventure movie. Albeit not a great Star Wars movie, but pretty decent. TLJ was hot garbage. I didn't even watch TRoS. Still haven't.

The Gift, starring Jason Bateman.

The movie itself is fairly well made, albeit low budget af because it's a Netflix movie. The problem is the plot. ::: spoiler spoiler A kid that Jason Bateman's character used to bully in high school grows up and becomes a terrifying stalker out to get revenge. Jason Bateman's wife at first is terrified, but then leaves him after it's revealed he used to be a bully. Because THAT'S what you should focus on right? You should definitely be concerned with the type of person "someone who wants to kill you" says your husband used to be 30 years ago. Not the "someone who wants to kill you" person. Nope. They're alright. :::

Fucking trash movie. Not even shocking. Just complete garbage.

All of the animal torture scenes were completely in bad taste. I met Ruggero Deodato once. I told him that I really respected how raw and violent Cannibal Holocaust was, and the legalities behind the movie were fascinating, but that the animal cruelty is beyond reproach, truly disgusting.

Welcome to Lemmy/Reddit. Reposts are lazy and low effort. If it didn't happen to you, why are you posting it? You don't even get karma on Lemmy.

I do look to be immersed in movies, and yes, massive actors are immersion breaking.

Tom Cruise, Idris Elba, Meryl Streep, Leonardo Dicaprio, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger (except Terminator 2), and Hugh Jackman. Can you actually watch these movies without thinking to yourself 99% of the time "wow, Tom Cruise looks cool af in that jacket"?

He didn't. CDPR just knew that he had a lot of memes about how he's a really nice and down to earth person, and they figured that that was the kind of good will they needed for their oft-delayed title that was earning them a lot of fury even before it launched.

Mark Hamill is an accomplished VA in his own right. It makes sense that he'd eventually be in games. No one really cares that he used to be Luke Skywalker.

Who starred in a 90s FMV game that was anywhere near as big as Keanu or Idris?

Ehhh. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Case in point: everyone loves Patrick Stewart. He played a small yet memorable role in Oblivion. No issues. Everyone loves Keanu Reeves, but as soon as CDPR wheeled him out to hype up CP2077 in 2019, I rolled my eyes because it was an obvious attempt to capitalize on the meme-able goodwill that Keanu had from all of the posts about him riding the subway and his wife dying and how he's a genuinely nice person.

Idris Elba on the other hand, he's a great actor, but he has the marketability of a tuna sandwich.

Put famous actors in games when it makes sense to do so. Otherwise it comes off as hacky and you run the risk of severely dating your game in 10 years. Idris Elba is just in too many things these days to take him seriously.

The question "How to propose a girl who doesn't talk much to boys" sounds like it was either posed by an Indian person who doesn't speak English all that well, or a bot.

You don't. This girl doesn't owe you her attention or time. If you ever make eye contact with her, and she isn't giving you eyes that communicate "I think you're attractive, come over to talk to me" then keep moving, friend. There are a ton of women out there, and many of them are interested in meeting men.

Eye contact. She smiles at you? Game on. She looks away quickly but doesn't smile? She isn't into you.

Did you have a question or are you informing us that we can use the internet to promote our projects?

From the looks of things, you're an artist who doesn't know how to promote themselves on the internet. I have an idea: don't. Build up your body of work, present it in public at a gallery. Do something locally that will get eyes on your artwork. Do a huge wall mural. Do a big guerilla piece of artwork involving a group of people. If you're a musician, you should be playing shows, not worrying about your online presence.

Art is consumed and spit out by the internet faster than you can say "artistically bankrupt". It won't garner you much attention to advertise and promote your art online.

Whole lotta words in this article to say exactly nothing of substance.
