That’s weird, I use Waterfox and I occasionally get to do some kind of “puzzle”, but other times I just need to click the reCaptcha and it will confirm itself (with the green check)

Ironically, when I use Vivaldi, the captcha doesn’t even load, and when it loads, it says it’s wrong regardless of the answer I give it, so I’m always locked and that’s quite literally the only reason I stopped using Vivaldi.

On Edge I need to fill in puzzles ALL THE TIME, that’s also why I stopped using Edge (apart from the bloatware and the uBlock not working there)

I think this is better tbh, I personally don’t like it when piracy forums/sites/whatever piracy related thing goes too mainstream. Maybe it’s gatekeeping, I don’t know, I just don’t want another Z-Library incident.

Either way, they probably aren’t even against piracy, they’re probably just lazy and don’t want to deal with any of the issues they could potentially face down the line.

Edit - grammar

Yep, every driver is up to date. In fact I just did a fresh windows install once again, updated all drivers once again, and the problem still persists.

The games however are stored in a secondary ssd, so the next thing I’m gonna do is install them on the main, and some of them on an external one, just in case it’s a faulty SSD.

If that’s not it then I have no clue.

Yeah I’m about to give up with these games as well and just not play them, I just finished a clean Windows install again and it still didn’t work, I feel like I’m going insane here haha

I’ll definitely try that tomorrow when I wake up, I just did a fresh install of Windows 11 and it still won’t work, thanks for that recommendation, I have an external ssd so maybe it’ll work like that.

Definitely something wrong with my OS and I’m currently making yet another clean install, because the weird thing is that I’ve played all these games before (except BG3) on the same laptop, I was just replaying them for fun.

I just wanted to see if there was someone else with the same issues or something similar.

Specs are fine

AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3050Ti, and 32GB RAM, it’s a Legion 5 (2021)

All games mentioned run 100fps+ on High and I was watching the graphs, temperatures of 60-80C on the CPU and 50-75C on the GPU so those were fine (at least for a laptop)

What you’re saying makes a lot of sense, but, the weird thing is that, except for Baldur’s Gate 3, I already played all these games in my laptop before. I was just replaying them for fun, I just didn’t know if somebody else had the same issues.

I think I’ll just make another clean install and see what happens, this situation has me so confused tbh haha

I use Internet Download Manager and it has worked like a charm for me. It’s paid, but you can find the pirated version easily!

I tried JDownloader but it didn’t work for me, I’m kind of dumb though so it might have been my fault that it didn’t work in my browser/computer.

Edit: wanted to add that for torrents I’ve been using Qbittorrent, imo it’s the best

I kind of thought she was a bit distant, but not cheating, but at that time I was dealing with a terrible case of arthritis at that time, so between going to the hospital and spending days, sometimes weeks in bed without being able to move I was not really thinking about it.

That’s what I said to her… Hell, it would have been a blessing for me if she was doing things with other people sometimes.

I was feeling horrible for her because I have a terrible case of arthritis and I can’t do stuff like a normal person, sometimes I couldn’t even move for weeks or spend time at the hospital, so sex was almost impossible. We were doing it once every 4 months, maybe more.

The first thing I told her was “Look, if you’re gonna do something with someone else, at least let me know first, I can understand due to the conditions so there’s no problem if you really need it, just please tell me first”.

First thing she did was not tell me, and that is what messed me up, the stupid lie.

This is probably NSFW so… warning(?)

I was going to reserve dinner at a place for our 7th anniversary of our marriage. My phone ran out of battery, so she told me to use hers.

While I was using it she received a message saying “tomorrow again? 😏”. Curiosity killed me, I opened the message because, as far as I knew, she stayed home while I was working the day before.

To my surprise, the guy that texted her sent her a video of her on all fours with 2 men cuming on her. Needless to say, there was no 7th anniversary dinner. This was also years ago so I got over it.

I could have said “she cheated on me” and leave it at that but I feel like the whole story is spicier.

Is this No Man’s Sky? Damn this is hard, the baby phone is confusing me.

A wacky woohoo pizza man gets invited by his bro to a weird tower and they end up fighting because the brother really wants a necklace.

That may be true, but I think he might have a case…

The lawsuit said that Ackerman sent a pre-publication copy of the book to the Tetris Company earlier that year. He said the company refused to license its intellectual property for projects related to his book, dissuading producers who were interested in adapting it, and sent him a “strongly worded cease and desist letter.”

So he made the book, presented it to Tetris, they rejected the idea, threatened him to sue if he did his own thing, rejected other producers, then I guess partnered with Apple and made it as if it was their idea.

Are there fictional elements or speculations in Ackerman’s book that were translated to the Apple movie?

I think so, I think it’s more a thematic kind of thing, not the history per se. But I haven’t watched the movie or read the book, so this is just my point if view from what the article says.

No idea if it works like that or if he would have a case as I’m not a lawyer, or writer, or producer, so take what I said with a pinch of salt.

You lose it and never hear from it again. Happened to me, had to open another account in another instance because of that, it’s a shame but I guess that’s the risk until we get something that is some kind of Backup->Restore->Move account or something.

When we make mistakes,we talk it out and say sorry. Also she helps me clean the house and understands that I have a disability (bad case of arthritis).

My ex wife used to hit me or threaten me to beat me up all the time, always made a mess of the house and never cleaned after herself. I used to find moldy plates with some food on them below the bed, next to the toilet, below tables, etc).

I don’t mind the news, I absolutely hate the bots.

I said in another comment before, there’s an “AITA” bot reposting everything from Reddit, but, who are we supposed to answer if it’s a bot that’s asking? It doesn’t make any sense…

If there is no engagement (or at least something that’s educational or informational), then what’s the point?

If it was a “TIL” bot I’d probably have a harder time hating on it, but still.

This reminds me of when I got a new PC when I was younger and I was shocked… “WHAT?! THEY COME WITH 128MB RAM NOW!!! AND THEY HAVE A DVD TRAY??? No more floppy disks!!!”

Fuck, those were nice times (except for dial-up internet).

You can find it on Rutracker, that’s shere I got it from, it’s not the latest latest, but I have the v2.0.0

After reading this post I was looking on rutracker to see if they uploaded a newer version, but the website seems to be down for me at the moment.

My mother is like this as well, when I was little she used to only say “come here!”, and if I wasn’t showing up right next to her she wouldn’t say what she wanted to say, she would just stay silent. Sometimes it was only to let me know it was someone’s birthday.

She even says it unconsciously now. She lives in Venezuela, I live in Brazil now, and during calls she still says “come here” and every time I tell her “Now how am I gonna go there right now? Are you paying for the plane tickets?”

It’s not just you, you’re not mental, it’s fucking frustrating and at some point in my life I just decided not to react to her “come here” and keep quiet until she tells me what she wants, otherwise I’m not interested.
