Apparently, I lucked out.. big<\/strong> time, of these apparent serious issues that affected Steam yesterday. I logged in without issue today.
\nI don’t see ANY changes to my Steam page. The wallet balance is the same. It’s pointing to the correct account. The email is the same. The phone number on file is the same. And I’m still using Steam Guard.
\nGoing over my Library, there’s nothing that’s catching my eye of being different.<\/p>\n

However, I still can’t view my Profile, or the Community page. I also can’t even view my wishlist (though it has the same number of games in it than before). They all show a black screen.<\/p>\n

Also, there’s a clearer idea of who the assholes were that did the hacking; a group called “SkidNP”. And the reason, they say, is to reveal the weaknesses of Steam’s servers to the world. They also attacked Mojang’s servers, Microsoft’s servers, and Playstation’s servers. I do remember Tulsi telling me yesterday how Minecraft’s session servers were down.
\nAnd also, a week ago this same group was promising to do this thing. I never payed attention to the news. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n

Steam is denying the hacking attempt, saying it was a “glitch in their system” that caused the outage. Yet they haven’t explained why half of their services are still<\/span> down. This is a ‘*popcorn*’ moment right here.
\nHowever, they have<\/em> stated the problem has been “fixed” (as in, no longer are people able to log into other people’s accounts).<\/p>\n

.
\nOn a side-note (as to make this post longer), I logged on the MRT today and went over to where the tree is now. It’s a bit of ways East of my island. I checked every present, and shockingly.. not one of them said “To Benie” on them.
\nI had to get one of the mods to help me look, and it seems I’m as blind as a bat. There were four gifts with my name on it, this year.
\nOne from Mike(a “Thank you, you’re awesome” book), one from _Kastle(Something about a “marked road” to my town), one from QueenSmae(Erm… no comment), and the last one from Skele(A ‘Rocking Chair’ stair. This was cute).<\/p>\n

Tulsi however, was pissed he didn’t receive any gift and was about to cause mass chaos (and possibly get himself banned). Watching the chat while also reading the Wurm Online forum), one of them said “Didn’t Benie get you a present?”.. I’m like “OSHI–!!”(I’ve been busy on Wurm. Give me a break)
\nThinking quickly, I scrambled and made a quick gift and a message for him, then said “Tulsi, I think there’s a gift here for you”.
\nPhew… he was ‘ok’ with it, but believes now that no one but myself is his friend (the fact no one but myself gave him a gift). But at least I calmed him down.
\nThat is, hopefully he doesn’t read this part down here. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
