Wait, you just sold me on Hitman though, where should I start? Is “World of Assassins Part 1” truly a combination of HM1-3? Looks like its only $9 on steam rn

Dear lord I can’t believe this is only now becoming a feature - those redirect spammers are the worst! What do you gain from making my life more difficult? I just close the tab and search again, this time with your website blacklisted.

Not all crops need 100% sun exposure in 100% of their growing regions.

Many crops do better with a little bit of well placed shading to help keep temperatures/sun damage down.

The way these panels are oriented they may also reduce wind flow over the crops which can improve water retention (but may lead to other problems if crops are over-irrigated).

Mathematically it’s entirely possible to have better crop yield than a vast expanse of monocrops devoid of shelter.

Cool story bro. There was (and likely still is, because you clearly haven’t found it) a keylogger on your system when you logged into Steam at some point.

You can continue in denial if you want, it literally makes no difference to me - I’m not the one getting HIBP Stealer Log emails. Just trying to warn you, I wouldn’t log into anything you care about getting hacked until you find out what caused the breach.

Man, the denial runs deep.

HIBP works by finding big databases of stolen information on the dark web. Usually these databases are attributed to websites that have been breached.

In the case of “stealer logs” though, the databases are full of logins to a bunch of different websites, instead indicating it comes from hacked computers.

They, and I, can’t truly say for certain that your computer was hacked, so instead they have to make vague statements like “someone attempted to log into your account on a compromised computer”. That information went to the hackers who developed the virus, and they posted it online. They don’t know your computer is infected, just that your information ended up in a pile with a bunch of other people’s whose computers were infected.

The person logging in could be you, could be anyone, they may not have even gotten in, but the #1 most likely scenario is you logged into your account on your computer while a virus was running in the background capturing information.

Your computer being the one with the virus is made 1000x more likely because you mention in previous posts that you use pirated software.

If you pirate software, and you get a HIBP stealer log notice, I’d wager there’s a 99.7% chance someone snuck a keylogger into one of the programs you downloaded.

Just in case you want to do nothing, nowhere in particular.

I’ve evaded Reddit bans for the last 19 months by simply not using Reddit. You should try it.

Don’t forget the rise of the 60+ GB “Day 0 Patch”. You buy any physical game and you have to download the whole thing anyways when you get home.

There is only one podcast truly worth your valuable time, and it’s the Get Skrek’d Podcast - “A shot-by-shot analysis of the award-winning film, Shrek 2 by your tour guide and host, Logan Flinders.”

No other podcasts compare. No other podcasts matter.

Get Shrek’d is love. Get Shrek’d is life.

Screenshot and move on.

Did they check between the couch cushions? That’s usually where I find the remote when I lose it.

Nasty stuff, stealer logs. I’ve written about them and loaded them into Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) before but just as a recap, we’re talking about the logs created by malware running on infected machines. You know that game cheat you downloaded? Or that crack for the pirated software product? Or the video of your colleague doing something that sounded crazy but you thought you’d better download and run that executable program showing it just to be sure? That’s just a few different ways you end up with malware on your machine that then watches what you’re doing and logs it, just like this:

These logs all came from the same person and each time the poor bloke visited a website and logged in, the malware snared the URL, his email address and his password. It’s akin to a criminal looking over his shoulder and writing down the credentials for every service he’s using, except rather than it being one shoulder-surfing bad guy, it’s somewhat larger than that.

Seriously, read the article you posted. YOU probably attempted to log in and the virus on YOUR computer you seem to be in HEAVY denial about captured your info. You’re lucky the 2FA probably prevented the people who are are logging activity from your PC from accessing your Steam account.

The article you posted clearly defines stealer logs, and the email you screenshot clearly says your info is in a stealer log breach - I don’t know what more to say. You clearly have all the information you need, you just don’t want to process it.

YOU LOGGED INTO STEAM ON AN INFECTED COMPUTER AND ARE PROBABLY STILL USING THAT SYSTEM. YOUR COMPUTER HAS A VIRUS.

That usually helps me sleep better too

A month of Mullvad is $5. Even without a 30-day return policy (which, as others have pointed out, they have), it’s not exactly break the bank kind of experiment money.

I think you missed the entire premise of the article you linked - the “stealer logs” mean someone logged into your account on a system that had been breached (infected with malware), and the “stealer” “logged” those credentials.

Also, SteamDB and Steam are two very different things. SteamDB is an independent third party offering that just tracks Steam data via their API.

Ehh, I think it’ll be a looong time before machine learning can make meaningful character interactions.

It may be able to make maps faster, slightly better versions of something like No Man’s Sky or Minecraft (both already sporting functionally “infinite” procedural generation), or fill a city like Cyberpunk 2077’s with slightly less mindless wandering NPCs, but I don’t think it’ll help make story-based RPGs bigger in a useful way

The NPCs that stand out in an RPG do so because they typically have a well-crafted, and finite, story arch which is incredibly difficult to do with machine learning and trying to make things more procedurally generated.

Okay, now what do we do with this information?
