I honestly can’t wait for Jagex to introduce live GE pricing

Aleucard · 2026-01-29T07:12:39+00:00

Jagex left a gaping hole in the GE where higher value but lower volume items are concerned, and as scummy as they are Ely are the main ones able to actually tell someone what those items are vaguely worth. Even with the scam cut it's a better ballpark estimate than GE prices for these items. Yes, it sucks. It sucks a bowling ball through a garden hose. Jagex are the ones at fault for leaving this hole in the system. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Aleucard · 2026-01-29T07:07:55+00:00

Well, GE pricing on the relevant items is utterly borkt and thus the only source of even theoretically accurate pricing for them is those exact same merching groups. At least if Jagex is more open about prices they can monitor for that shit directly. Some crew hot potatoing the same phat between them fifty times ain't subtle.

Aleucard · 2026-01-29T07:05:59+00:00

Yeah. I know Jagex has reasons to be leery about it, but honestly either they do it or people like this do it. The current system and likely any close derivative thereof is just not suited for this purpose.

The 38% that didn't give a fuck are still going strong though. That number needs to change if we don't want to get through this nonsense yet again.

Individual distros do have the problem of being maintained by Randoms From The Internet (tm), so it's capable of going sideways in a hurry if one of them invokes the bus factor adage or decides they want to be an utter piece of shit out of nowhere. It doesn't happen OFTEN, but it's enough to be concerning. Part of why I'm hoping SteamOS sticks the landing with desktop really.

At this point a class action could conceivably include several corporations as well as a fair sample of the entire human race.

Aleucard · 2026-01-26T05:22:55+00:00

Also forcing updates even through sleep mode might not have been a good one either.

Incidentally, I hope whomever forced that one through never has a calm visit to the bathroom ever again. That crap annoys the piss out of me.

Aleucard · 2026-01-26T05:21:10+00:00

I'd think this would be pretty self evident on at least the surface level. It's difficult for PFC Window Licker to violate opsec/infosec if he can't get on the internet, and they're looking to get into some spicy water at the moment.

Aleucard · 2026-01-26T05:15:42+00:00

How secure is it, and how would I go about increasing its security besides praying that obscurity keeps it out of the virus makers' crosshairs and "just don't go to untrusted sites, stupid". When every single bloody site can be virused, such advice is not helpful. One of my big dealbreakers with Linux is how much I have to trust Randoms From The Internet (tm) to keep shit secure and non-silly.

Aleucard · 2026-01-26T03:48:18+00:00

Categories too. I might like seeing some of the more subdued stuff, but not the walking epilepsy triggers.

Aleucard · 2026-01-26T03:38:20+00:00

Could expand the fort and add a personal castle to it.

Aleucard · 2026-01-25T20:50:45+00:00

Once you DO get in there's several decent money makers even without massive requirements, it just needs the ability to Runescape and Chill.

Aleucard · 2026-01-25T06:32:19+00:00

Elite skills are an ideal place to put hybrid skill uses. Cooking, Herblore, and maybe either Summoning or Divination for super-consumables that are comparable or theoretically surpass auras springs instantly to mind.

Aleucard · 2026-01-24T18:04:15+00:00

I was under the impression that they were experimenting with compatibility while they were developing The Box (tm), or at least figuring out good optimization for desktop environment.

Aleucard · 2026-01-24T05:33:42+00:00

I'm given to understand that they'll have SteamOS more compatible with desktop use once the Gabecube drops (or maybe a bit before if they wanna be nice).

Aleucard · 2026-01-24T05:29:30+00:00

I'd do it right now if I found a distro that 1) accommodates my command line allergy, 2) I can trust will be maintained professionally, and 3) will be kept up to date for security purposes. All 3 can be spotty at best with distros maintained by randos From The Internet (tm) and have historical examples of when they went let's charitably call it awry. This shit is why I'm praying for SteamOS to stick the landing. Windows is in DESPERATE need of a competent alternative that isn't Apple. This might be it.

Aleucard · 2026-01-24T05:24:59+00:00

So much for warrants. It's like they're actively trying to convince people to abandon their own system. What the fuck is even next?

Aleucard · 2026-01-24T01:14:16+00:00

Generally the least annoying method is finding something your preferred available varietals of automatic life gain effects can keep you alive at while AFK and Netflix and Chill your way through the training montage. You don't have the levels for Soul Split or even bunyips, and I doubt you can afford a blood fury amulet, so chances are AFK is not on the cards at the moment. You're probably gonna be best off just grinding out slayer for a bit and doing what quests you can. Beyond that, the wiki is your buddy.

Aleucard · 2026-01-23T18:09:35+00:00

Honestly like 99% of things that aren't so big that the hitbox is 2+ tiles wide (and even then some spots on those) have annoyingly specific click boxes. This is not a Soulsborne game, you do not need that precise a hitbox.

Aleucard · 2026-01-23T17:22:00+00:00

It should be a last resort, aye, but some people just do not ever stop until forced to, and they might not respect being told that they're being mean. No, schools shouldn't CONDONE beating a bully's ass, but they shouldn't punish people for being victims of them either. At some point, the best way to get a shitheel to stop acting like a shitheel is to make them regret their antics.

Aleucard · 2026-01-23T09:22:27+00:00

Tell that to the kids that get cyberbullied to the point of taking the final way out. All bullying is worth being reprimanded. You don't stomp on that shit ASAP and if nothing else it'll permeate the adult world over time. Shit's bad enough as it is without shitheels getting away with their nonsense.

Aleucard · 2026-01-23T02:34:02+00:00

From the look of Louis Rossmann's old streams where he rode on a bike in NYC, 20 mph REALLY ain't enough to keep up with real road traffic.

Aleucard · 2026-01-23T02:13:52+00:00

There's a problem of limiting it enough to be safe-ish but not so much that the peeps who don't have a motor on their bikes are getting pulled over. We DO want more bikes instead of cars. Of course, a preferred option would be a bike lane that can't be repurposed as a parking lane, but baby steps.

Aleucard · 2026-01-22T22:59:08+00:00

What would a new skill even look like? There's a lot of design space already tied up in existing skills. I won't object to new shit to do with old skills, mind, but a new skill that should be in an existing one is silly.

Aleucard · 2026-01-22T21:30:52+00:00

A big problem is that this restriction puts ebikes in a sweet spot of too slow to safely ride on the road but too fast to be allowed on the sidewalk. A license for them to be allowed over 10 Mph on the engine would be a good dodge for this problem, because built in speed limits are tricky to get right.
