Goodaltgamer: Successful login attempts....hmmm....that would really surprise me, unless they do it really out of customer care and set there a delta as well. Might be even an attempt to prevent those problems with the downvoting bots and/or hacking.
Yeah I edited my reply, it might actually have been that I tested it also giving wrong passwords as well, just to check whether GOG sends confirmation emails only if one passes the password test, but fails the 2-step verification (and not already failing the password).

So yeah, captcha was probably triggered by me entering the password wrong a couple of times.

timppu: Huh? Someone who is not from the same country as the one saying it, of course.

E.g. Senteria most probably calls all non-Dutch people foreigners, while I call all non-Finns furriners. That includes also e.g. Swedes and Americans.

zeogold: I was making somewhat of a joke.

Although I thought the pronunciation of "Kappa" was kind of universal. It's not really hard to deduce from how the word looks. Besides, isn't it a Japanese word anyways?
yes it is
it means water or turtle demon if i am correct

Don't tell jokes now, security is at stake here. GOG account security.

I think the approximate translation is "Josh DeSeno".

...yeah, nobody's gonna get that joke, but I'll make it anyways.

zeogold: QUIET, you fool! Can't you see that if we keep up the act a little longer, we'll finally have someone to solve the mystery of space travel?!
I propose the tiny-particle with negative charge will help him in that, if he can smuggle it through the corrupt GOGstapo:-D

Now that you mention it... how do YOU (as a native English speaker) pronounce it?!? Do you pronounce it differently than how you would pronounce e.g. "Kapa"?

In Finnish (being a phonetic language) it is quite clear how those two are pronounced differently, and in Finnish we have lots of words like that where the only difference is the number of consonants there, like:

moka <=> mokka
Pisa <=> pissa

etc., same goes to vowels too like "kivi <=> kiivi" etc.

I've just noticed that for many foreigners(!) it is hard to understand first what's the difference in pronunciation if there is one or two consonants or vowels in a Finnish word. Just pronounce how it is written, dammit! :)

EDIT: So basically, is it clear to you how to pronounce these words:

kapa
kappa
kaapa
kaappa

(that covers both the double-consonant and double-vowel cases)

Also a Greek letter, an Italian car, and an Italian clothing company. It's also the Swedish word for a female variant on the overcoat.

Forgive me, but my first thoughts were
"Meeska!
Mooska!
Mickey Mouseka!"

Exactly how it looks.
Something like "kah pah".

Two of the same consonant immediately following a vowel makes said vowel a short one. Two of the same vowel makes it longer (and I might remember wrongly here, but I think consonants also made longer when doubled in Finnish). Swedish doesn't make sounds longer, but the shortening is used in multiple languages.

Nah, can't be. Swedish is the origin of everything.

WTF? Where does the "h" come there? Why don't you pronounce the P that is there: "kap pa"? That's how you pronounce it if you pronounce how it is written. :)

A bit like I presume you'd pronounce "cap", do you pronounce it also as "cah"? And how would you pronounce "kapa", does it sound different from "kappa"?

You Englishers make pronunciation far more complicated that it needs to be, it is like you try to guess with each new and strange word how you should try to pronounce it. Don't guess, just pronounce it.
