It's wonderful to see him back for helping out a friend with another great channel.

Ooh now I get it.

I was talking about Draugveil the whole time, they were recommended to me at random and so I thought it funny to also see them pop up in a meme.

Of course Ghost is older and has many albums.

Ok what am I missing, I just checked their Encyclopaedia Metallum page again, and it shows that album as their only one. Same for Spotify and YouTube Music.

Nice

If I remember correctly from when I checked them out after the recommendation, that they only have one album that came out this year, right?

Waaaait, I'm not the only one that had this (2.) band recommended by the algo? xD

Does it come in a jar or two cups?

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

There is the Swedish 1971 movie Sagan om Ringen and if we include the Hobbit, then there's the 1967 version which is quite funny to watch.

The soviet movies Khobbita (1985) and Khraniteli (1991) came later, as did the the Finnish Hobbitit (1993) .

My Steam profile, including the inventory with some Gift Games, is public.

I get a few friend requests now and then from profiles that have that exact text (or very similar) as their profile info:

Hey, it's my alt account and I added you since saw you got some steam gifts I am interested in, I can offer you some games or other value items such as tf2 keys, so if you can add me to discuss, I would appreciate it, thanks, I am ready to go first, and can add you from my main account if we trade

Sometimes even with

I avoid posting comments because of the risk of getting flagged by the system as a scammer.

So why do these people/bots want the gift games? Are they trying to scam me, are they trying to scam others with the games? Or do they want to optain the games so they can sell them on their own 3rd party site for a profit?

Has anyone gone through with such a "trade", I'm tempted to try it with a cheap game that I don't need, just to find out how the scam works...

Edit: All gifts except for one are still available in the Steam store. The only one that is not, is a DLC, a song for Rocksmith. I doubt that this is the only reason, especially since most request have the same copypasta in the profile info.

 
 

The top row is tea, I store the tobacco in the cupboard below.

Yes, I "blame" Tolkien for my pipe smoking...

... all I could do is sing Dragostea Din Tei. The lyrics are the only Romanian I know and barely can pronounce. At least I might go down in a rave xD

 

Are there any recommended best practices?

I'm doing a fresh setup on a new system and want to use this opportunity to organise things better. Previously it was quite a mess 😅

Some loose thoughts:

  • I don't really want to use the brand, so I could replace devices
  • Not all devices have a fixed place (e.g. the phone), so using the room in the name might not be a nice solution, or I could use "portable" instead for those
