(#en4agmq) @bender Its actually even worse than that. Yes I went through a few extra steps, because I wanted to be in control of the "throw away email" as well. However, as it turns out, Microsoft basically **force** you to have a Microsoft Live Account, which (btw) gives you access to Teams, Outlook (and their own Email?!), Office, etc, etc. It's not just an account for Minecraft 🤦‍♂️ -- Then when you finally sign-in, you get to create your _actual_ Mincecraft Username 🤦‍♂️

(#en4agmq) @prologic make sure to save the information on that “throwaway” email, as you will need it in the future. You could have created an outlook.com account, it is free. I get it you are ranting, and complaining about the way Microsoft has mismanaged the game, but creating a random, used-for-the-game-only email is trivial. There was no need for your 1, 2, and 3 steps, if you, indeed, went through all of that. 🤣

(#en4agmq) @justamoment Ha. I just tried it and it is hack'n'slay from the early days. Very nice. I like that. Early Diablo Days. Dies already on beast mountain 2 because I increased speed a bit and, yes, gba was faster than me :-)

(#en4agmq) @carsten it's not actually turn based but it's a pretty cool game, there's also a sequel, Shining Soul 2.

(#en4agmq) @justamoment never heard about it. I maybe give it a try when I am finished today with mkcert

(#en4agmq) @carsten I like turn based that keep mechanics simple, I'm one that never touch the inventory in a fight and only waste time to organize it instead of exploring. I tried Shining Soul (GBA) recently and lost hours in putting in order my herbs and weapons.

(#en4agmq) @justamoment I never played Crash Bandicot. But surprisingly my wife loved Ratchet and Clank as much as I did. The GTA series was also one I played a lot. Pokemon is just a game you can start, play a bit, an hour or more and put it away anytime you need to. Thats why I like turn based games a lot. In the past Battle of Wesnoth, Battle Isle, Battle World: Kronos, Faster Than Light, etc. you name it. Sanctuary RPG

(#en4agmq) @carsten Yeah, hundreds games with no space, I played the first Pokemon GB/GBA just to analyze it's structure and movement system, not my type of game. What I mostly play are platformers, story based games and air combat. But my all time best is Crash Bandicoot 2. 😁

(#en4agmq) @justamoment I started old Pokémon Games had Black 2 on NDS and the other ones on 3DS and Switch. never played the old ones. GBA and RetroArch are really nice. I can play a short time and do not have to download hundreds of gigabytes.

(#en4agmq) @lyse oh I played a lot in the past. CS:1.6 in the past in a Clan, WoW and Euro Truck SIM 2. and more than a 1000 hrs in Factorio. still running. nowadays with so many things in RealLufe and Work and with a house, gaming is rare. that’s why I only play on easy these days. I enjoy the story and that’s it 🤣😂😅
