Onbekend: Started a new game in Cyberpunk 2077 - What Are You Playing Right Now?

2026-11-13 20:33:04

They released the 2.5 update that added a bunch of stuff but in particular added a new playstyle in the form of a dual wielding / guns akimbo build. Back when the game was first released my main complaint with it was the lack of dual wielding, and the fact that some NPCs could do it even though the player couldn't. So I thought I would be remiss not to load up the game and give it a spin with the new build.

Well I'm like over 70 hours into my playthrough now and have swapped out my cyberdeck OS for a top tier slowmo-granting Sandevistan. I don't miss quickhacks at all. In fact the whole experience, paired with the new dual wielding, feels extremely novel and fresh to me, which I thought would be difficult given that I have over 400 hours of playtime in that game.

I will always maintain that Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the best games ever made. It has a permanent spot on my hard drive.

If you look at any modern classical playlist the titles are all like "Ross Loses His Command Part II" and it's just background music from Band of Brothers. You haven't heard anything until you've heard the Undertale soundtrack performed by the official symphony orchestra of some communist shithole! Get a grip losers.

does this come across here if you are not logged in? It is an image.

Mr. Huang went to considerable lengths to cloak his arrogance. When I first met him in 2023, he and his handlers were pushing the idea that he was a humble man. In our conversations, Mr. Huang was constantly deflecting attention away from his success, always quick to assign credit to his employees and executive staff members. He also liked to glad-hand service people. He’d been a dishwasher himself once, a point he never let you forget. He loved visiting small, hole-in-the-wall restaurants and leaving extravagant tips. I’d met him for breakfast at Denny’s, and he tipped our waitress $1,000 in hundred-dollar bills. He didn’t make a show of it, either. I had to track her down to ask.

Over time, though, I began to suspect that this was an act, one performed not for the observer, but to flatter himself. In truth, Mr. Huang was quite arrogant. He had little tolerance for disagreement and almost no capacity for open discourse. When you contradicted him, even over the most trivial matter, it was like lighting a fuse. Stick to your position and soon he exploded, screaming at you for your idiocy. A harangue from Mr. Huang could last an hour or more; his executive staff appeared genuinely afraid of him. Listening to their stories, I was reminded of the abusive music instructor from the movie “Whiplash.”

Immediately, a bootlicker named "Steve_Sailer" pops up in the comments

Wow, who could have imagined that one of history's most successful business executives had little patience for fools? Next, we'll find out that Steve Jobs wasn't always a nice guy.

Mysterio: 2FA is stupid and stupid people don't understand why. - Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number

2026-11-12 09:27:35

Humble Bundle just shit the bed on the security side.

You no longer have 2FA in your login flow and 2FA doesn't appear anywhere in your settings. It's been completely removed from the website. That means your password is the only thing protecting your account now. You should always operate under the assumption that your password is compromised. That's why 2FA is so important.

Once you're logged in you can just change your password without having the original password for verification. It just immediately changes the account password to whatever you want. This means if your session is hijacked the attacker can fully own your account.

Changing your email works the same way. It asks for a verification code on the NEW email not the old one. This lets the attacker swap your email out without a single barrier. It doesn't even send an alert to the original email until after the account is tied to the new email.

This is some vibe-coded garbage.
Change your passwords immediately at the very least.

Guys, its SLOP

Wait. Think about it for a second. Why does Humble Bundle need 2FA?

You buy something off Humble Bundle and then redeem it on Steam. They are a middle man site. You use them, or used them, when you wanted to support devs a little more directly or grab sales or pay money to charity.

Why the fuck did you ever need 2FA for that?

You can just "change your password"? GOOD.
You can just login with a password? GOOD.

You should always operate under the assumption that your password is compromised.

No you shouldn't. What a stupid fucking thing to say or think.

That's why 2FA is so important.

It isn't important for a site you use to get other things cheaper and then immediately redeem them.

This is the problem with discussion around tech. These people like "Pirate Software" can't think.

Someone told them 2FA is important, they never asked why.
Someone told them that Humble Bundle had it once. They never asked why or what the benefit was.
They ran their mouths on Twitter, without every once thinking.

Yeah, have it for a bank or something. But 2FA in general is used in way too many cases where it doesn't matter, and Humble Bundle is probably the perfect example of it not being necessary. Oh shit, my HB account got compromised! Hackers can see a list of games I bought in the past and then redeemed!

While we are here, the idiot posted a picture of a dog. The fact that X will show that in its entirety, but not show the contents of the tweet is incredible. We have some stupids on caltrops who will say dumb shit like Twitter didn't need all the people they fired. They certainly did fucking need competent product managers and product owners.
