Do not give me advice for scammers or scam avoidance. I have no plans to ever improve at anything for any reason.

I have a person who friended me, then like every 2 days for the past month they'll ask "You there?" "hello?" "if you don't wanna talk just unfriend me"
for like a month.
it's a pretty interesting tactic ngl

I also never unfriend spammers, so I'll have them send like 3 Phish's over the span of a couple weeks before they get banned. For some reason steam hates banning them.

if there's no dead kids I dont want it

Most sane original Fallout player who refused to play Fallout 3.

Fallout 2 may still be the only game that lets you target kids' groins with a sledgehammer.

It wouldn't have to be, if Bethesda weren't such COWARDS

I member "murdering" children in their sleep for infinite xp in fo3, good times

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're right, the prequels have dead kids, almost no women, and heck, it even has a dear leader taking over the Senate and declaring himself emporer in the name of safety. Republican wet dream.

Amidala kind of ruins the experience a bit

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Amidala: am I a joke to you?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

She's secretly not human.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

My go to trick is to check if they have Huawei VR2 driver game listed on their Steam games list. No real human is going to have it, and its part of an "increase your steam game count" script.

I feel like there's an XKCD where either the black hat guy or cueball do basically this, but shockingly I can't find it.

They say that dead children is bad but remember the live children in the recent Marvel movies?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I haven't seen them. The children lived so there wasn't much reason to watch.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I do agree I liked the prequels more

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

At least they were more original than the sequels.

Not a high bar, I know, but it's something.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I really think Lucas ruined the originals by not adding enough CGI to them

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Thank God he fixed the old ones though

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I thought they were brilliant. Had a blast with all of them. Darth Jarjar as my favorite character.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I was surprised how much I enjoyed the anti cheese edits to be honest.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

There's actually one woman in the prequals but she only exists as a sexy forbidden wife of the main character, Mr. Macho Skywalker, and she dies as soon as he breaks up with her so it's all good.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Y'know I hadn't considered this pov.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Your mockery of republicans is indistinguishable from actual republicans. You are serving only to swell their ranks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I'd love to do this but not even scammers will friend me on Steam 😢

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Indeed. Vader/Anakin's slaughter of the children has to be the darkest inference in the Disney franchise.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Playtests are a scam?

Actual question. I've never gotten one of these so I don't know

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Looks like a phishing attempt. Check the URL listed on the embed

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Looks legit to me, everyone knows the hostname valve[.]app579823[.]com is owned by valve /j

In seriousness, though, one of these type of sites looked like a scam but they warned me that my Driver Registry needed defragmentation to avoid WiFi Corruption and had a free download to fix it so, y'know, swings and roundabouts.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

my Driver Registry needed defragmentation to avoid WiFi Corruption

That's their tech literate filter, which helps them not waste time on people that would almost definitely catch-on to their scam before actually getting scammed.
