This one is distributed through Steam comments, apparently. The scam pretends to giveaway a skin but instead steals your credentials. Details over at https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/new...n-credentials/ .
Mud sticks and TG really needs to start penalising people that create a dispute against a score with zero evidence. "That's impossible", "my friend can't achieve that", "my friend can only achieve that with TAs" and "I don't believe it" are reasons ...

Unsurprisingly, I'm back at zero submission points again. RL circumstances prevent me from reviewing much but still have plenty of spare time for gaming. The queue of PBs is mounting - 3900+ documented and this would soar beyond 5000 if I were to find the time to finish documenting the outstanding ...
I've written an article on Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia. Currently it's only premise is to give a jump-start guide for the newbie - there's no point in trying to repeat the huge amounts of knowledge already on the Internet but a jump-start guide for the newbie I found hard to come ...
... this one got my goat:https://twitter.com/atari/status/1181268476494848000
It's a pleasure to know you. Many thanks for the card & note - great to receive. :D
A nice little addition to the submission process I've noticed: the "Update and Submit" button. Once your upload is complete, the details are submitted. :)Two suggestions:- There's no need to hang around for the user to click "OK" to the pop up. Could this be ignored/timed ...
Another Ingress challenge is over - another 11 day window to achieve a set goal within the game. This challenge had some convoluted rules to how it was being scored and was based on the optional Glyphing portion of Hacking the portal network (the primary way to gain inventory). Glyphing is a mini-game ...

It's not often my professional and hobby interests meet squarely in the middle but here's an article that's worth making note of here: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/steam-accounts-being-stolen-through-elaborate-free-game-scam/

A new 11-day challenge has popped up for Ingress: Myriad Challenge. The challenges are always on the backdrop of the background story line to the game (which is intentionally a mess & difficult to follow - nature of a stealth mysterious-technology game - but thankfully there's zero need to ...
An idea that's been brewing for some time & was more recently fleshed out by various events on the leaderboards.Old TG (to about 2008, perhaps?) had a leaderboard of "most WRs" and this new era has several different ways to analyse "top dog" events. However, there's ...
Thanks to everyone that participates at TG and the many different ways they do participate.Shouldn't be long before I'm second again. :D
International song contest where the International politics governs the resuts more than the music. :D Russia are the favourites and not for the first time: Russia supplies the gas pipelines to many other countries. :P
Of course, this isn't the same as surpassing Tom if he were still active.... and is probably more likely to be more than a hundred:So, not 5001... accuracy, hmmm.
Stopping by the site during lunch & I noticed the previous vote indicator is no longer in the submissions list. Is this gone intentionally?Before the facelift, there was a box to the left which showed if you'd voted accept/reject.
Well, apparently the fact that Sony have been known to be working on the PlayStation 5 for months is now front page news as "news" on several sites.Perhaps it's that the access speeds to the SSD is touted to be faster than any currently-available PC SSD? Yeah, it'll be slower than ...

I've noticed a couple of problems when working with the submission threads in the new layout.1) Subscriptions are missing. TG places heavy emphasis on the Credibility Rating. TG places heavy responsibility on the voters to monitor their own votes. TG has just removed the option for the voters to ...
Hehe, so the current facelift might have a slight flaw...
I notice TG is getting another facelift. This one's probably too late for the current facelift but if TG could take it under consideration. :)For each Submission Thread there's some significant gaps. This is one of Ryan's subs I just happened to be on when I noticed the facelift. ...
Just a quick note to mention the Preview option is a great addition to the submission process. Thanks TG chaps. :)
Hi all,I've added a page on the wiki to cover good evidence and what might constitute a good evidence package. It's obvious there's unlikely to ever be a perfect guide and the more specifics a guide gets mired in the less of a useful guide it becomes. Input welcome to help flesh out (and ...

If you've recently refreshed everything, the Wiki link will have dropped off the top-bar for you. Hopefully this is temporary but the link is https://www.twingalaxies.com/wiki_index.php . :)... and by the time I found it again, I forgot what I was going to add to the wiki. :P
Not especially popular with just @starcrytas and myself occcasionally passing the records hereabouts. While chasing Track 5 I discovered this oddity of circumstances. When crashing the timer stops as you lose control. Not a problem in itself... However, if you cross the finish line with momentum after ...

Oh no, I've got a pile of adjudication voting completing and am too tired to flood the queue, it's EMPTYING!!! Whatever are we going to do..... quick, check how long we have...Ah, it's only 168 pages to go. Perhaps there's some time for me to sleep first. :P
Just looked at the front page & noticed several youngsters with a bit of bum-fluff adorning their chins. My first reaction was "youngsters trying to look older than they are with silly amounts of hair" .... thought about it some more & then remembered I had long sideburns 'cause ...
