I've been playing this game:

Hard as balls platformer with some clever puzzles. Quite frustrating, but in a good way.

I picked up Bayonetta, which recently got a PC release. What a fabulous game!

Bayonetta is great!

Hopefully the PC port will do well and lead to them doing the same for the sequel.

@MattSpeller Yep - there's a non-profit discount, but actually the SpiceHead/ML discount is a better deal than that, although that page seems to have vanished for direct purchase. If you want a good sales contact, talk to Tim Sheahen [email protected] and he should be able to get you the best deal.

You rock - thank you mate

Sure thing! Tell Tim I said hi

I got my Switch last week and have played PuyoPuyo Tetris, MarioKart 8 and Breath of the Wild on it. Breath of the Wild is pretty much a perfect game so far, and being able to play on the go is great. MK8 is polished to a fine sheen and worth playing. So far I'm digging the Switch a lot and see it as a replacement to my Vita for mobile gaming. The battery life isn't great so if you're traveling you'll need a portable charger if you want to play for longer than 2.5 hours.

Last few hours to pick up any Steam sales you want!

Splatoon 2 on the Switch is great fun. Just came out on Friday. I'd never played the original on Wii U so it's all new to me.

@scottalanmiller Thanks - it's a really fun game. Like DayZ but the matches last a max of 30 minutes so it doesn't take forever for the action to start.

@scottalanmiller working on it

Happy Birthday!

Also new God of War out tomorrow!

Dead Cells is amazeballs. I've been playing it on switch all weekend.

@wirestyle22 reviews are good. What I've heard is that it's all based around parrying instead of dodging or blocking like the other SoulsBourne games, so that takes some getting used to.

Anyone else pick up Days Gone? I'm enjoying it a lot and think it's the best zombie survival game to date.

Yeah they were definitely social engineering and using stolen info to do so. They were answering my Paypal security questions before they resorted to the SIM cloning. I had to change my answers to the security questions to strong passwords instead of actual answers about what my first pet was named. I knew they were fucking with my phone because it kept ringing and then hanging up instantly. I'm assuming they were testing out their setup before triggering the 2FA text.

@Nic said in Equifax claims process is now open:

PP didn't offer any other 2FA options than SMS at the time, but it looks like they've finally gotten with the times:

When did this happen? I know PP has supported third party tokens of OTP for many years - at least 5. They might not have supported, say Google authenticator, or MS authenticator, but they definitely supported purchasable tokens.

According to the blog post link above:
Until recently, PayPal really only offered one form of 2FA, which they call “2-step verification”: SMS.

On the seller side you might have more options:

but as just a regular Paypal user you were stuck with SMS until two months ago.

Thanks for posting this @Nic. I had someone open a credit card in my name with information stolen from Equifax. Luckily they didn't use it for anything before it got flagged.

Glad it got caught before causing you any damage. You can still claim any time you spent dealing with this, such as time on the phone with credit agencies or your bank.
