I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.

Thanks so much for reaching out and for the kind words about the game, we're thrilled you're loving Outer Worlds 2! It's great to hear you're even trying to contribute feedback on the issue tracker.
You've run right into a common security feature where disabling 2FA also requires a current code to prove you're the account owner making the change.
Since your issue is with the Obsidian account system (for the issue tracker) and involves account security, this is something our specialized account security team needs to handle directly. They're the only ones who can verify your ownership and safely disable the authenticator app link without a current code.

Please email their dedicated support channel directly right now at support@obsidian.md.

- In your email, explain exactly what you told me: you lost access to your authenticator app, you used a backup code to log in, but you can't disable 2FA because it still asks for an authenticator code.
- Mention that you can provide any proof of account ownership they need.

The support team at that address is equipped to work through the necessary identity verification steps to get that 2FA disabled for you.

When you email issues to Obsidian Entertainment (the video game company) their AI support hallucinates and tells you to email Obsidian (the note-taking company) instead.

If the reward function is to reduce the number of touches in a support ticket, this is one way to do it.

Cartoon: simple black and white line drawing. A couple in a living room. The man is sitting in an armchair reading a newspaper, head turned slightly towards his wife who is standing at the window, tugging at the curtain and saying "I see the Renegade Master's back once again with the ill behaviour".

My most popular cartoon by a long chalk is also oddly niche, in that it mostly appeals to a generation who remember the song it refers to and enjoy the nostalgia for their youth. I can draw one for you if you like.

Tried to water the baby asparagus but the spout was blocked so I tried to shove the blockage down into the can but the thing inside shoved back.

A bike helmet with a large scrape along the front edge.

Both me and the angry poodle who attacks bikes, and was let off his leash, got off very lucky yesterday.

I'm a bit banged up. Scrapes and bruises, but it could have been worse. My helmet is done, and my gloves are ripped and bloody.

My ebike is very heavy, the dog is lucky I pulled the brakes.
