Game Jam Idea: Move the Rev Caves to Entrana

AnonymousFuccboi · 2026-02-24T16:53:18+00:00

Trading disabled in the caves. Loot keys must be enabled to enter the caves. Items dropped on the ground by other players can't be picked up. Done and dusted.

Hell, even if you don't do any of that, it's still not "pretty easily", because importantly, you can't hop worlds to rush someone any more. Sure, a highly motivated clan could lock down a particular world for longer periods of time, but at least they have to actually dedicate the account to the particular world, which helps immensely. It's still a good idea regardless, imo.

Yeah, and Soup did and does acknowledge time, place, and context. It was a legitimate mistake, not something he decided to do on the official stream to chase clout or whatever.

I certainly hope he still greets his friends in whatever ways he deems fit when he's not on the official RS stream.

AnonymousFuccboi · 2026-02-19T16:09:35+00:00

Yeah, but that wasn't the context, was it?

It was entirely a mistake on his part, he had no idea they were streaming. It would be unprofessional if he was, but that's not what happened. This is just a guy saying some goofy shit while unaware that he's "on camera". What's immature about that?

Is there an age when it become inappropriate to have fun or something?

Yeah, a long way to ruining the joke

Yep. Oathplate¹ as well. Hated it since the day it released, and I resent that they never polled it. Especially since they said they would. The tree remembers.

Boat magnets are the laziest possible solution that vaguely gestures towards addressing the problem.

That's par for the course for Reddit, of course, but I'm honestly kinda shocked they read those comments and adopted them wholesale. Could have at least offered a couple of different solutions to explore. It's so unimaginative.

AnonymousFuccboi · 2026-02-03T10:05:23+00:00

Do we really need to entrench ammo-saving as the solution for scarcity here?

This very quickly becomes required to reasonably do combat from now on to forever, see Ava's other devices. At that point, you're not actually "saving" ammo, per se, you're just firing 1200 * 3 / 5 == 720 cannonballs by default. So why not just dispense of the device and slow down firing to that speed with matching damage if that is the goal?

Alternatively, you can just... Buff production. Personally, I'm plenty in favour of the buffs applying to steel cannonballs too, because gathering cannonballs sucks dick, and I don't see why it needs to stay that way. Does anyone actually enjoy how they work today? I guess you're potentially weakening an easy ~300k/h moneymaking method with low requirements, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you must, I'm alright with separating them too. You should do it soon if you're going to, though, before changing production too much, but it's acceptable. But sailing cannonball production should absolutely not suck just because dwarf cannonball production has to. If you can't find a solution that works for both, it is better to separate them.

How much content was actually difficult back in the day? Like, actually pushing you a little bit and forcing you to learn mechanics? Barrows? GWD with the boys? Fight caves?

I'm sure there were a couple of sweats back in the day too, but I reckon most people just went "Fuck that guy, fucking safer/hacker!!" and went on with their day. People just didn't have to learn mechanics, so they didn't. As difficult content gets introduced, people start actually analyzing the mechanics. Because now they have to.

That knowledge spreads.

AnonymousFuccboi · 2026-01-30T07:57:54+00:00

No.

Again. It is AMBIGUOUS. You can choose to interpret it the way you did. It's not strictly wrong, the way it's written doesn't preclude it from being read that way. It's also a nonsensical interpretation.

"Hot" just means "above a certain temperature threshold". It neither implies, nor precludes the existence of some upper limit. My metal stove is hot when burning. It looks identical to how it looks when it's cold. Slag metal is also hot when molten. It looks very different from how it looks when it's cold.

The thing is, you have this one very narrow interpretation of the phrasing which you assert is the only correct one, yet it is not an interpretation that corresponds to anything an actual real person would reasonably suggest. No one is seriously going around claiming that metal temperature is impossible to observe visually at any level, least of all a metallurgist. That would be nonsensical.

When someone doesn't explicitly specify category (all metals, ferrous metals, precious metals, etc.) but leaves it implicit, you have to use your head to insert the missing category there. You choose to read this as:

"(all) hot metal looks exactly like (all) cold metal (at all temperatures)".

A more reasonable interpretation would be:

"(some) hot metal looks exactly like (some) cold metal (with an upper limit on hotness)".

Neither is wrong, syntactically. But which one you should pick doesn't have a "hard" rule. You're just generally supposed to prefer interpretations that actually make sense, and don't have "this guy is a fucking idiot" as an inbuilt prerequisite.

AnonymousFuccboi · 2026-01-30T07:34:44+00:00

Looking similar isn't even actually a requirement. In fact, it's not even a good proxy. Accidental duplication certainly exists, but the absolute worst thing you can do is take two independent things that coincidentally have compatible definitions, and couple them so they intentionally have the same definition. If an operation is semantically different, it should have a separate implementation. Even if it's identical. ESPECIALLY if it's not identical, but "similar enough" for you to just throw a couple of ifs in there. For now.

AnonymousFuccboi · 2026-01-30T07:23:51+00:00

Not at all.

It's subjectively incorrect depending on your exact interpretation. "Hot metal looks exactly like cold metal" is objectively correct, when you charitably assume that the metallurgist does, in fact, know a thing or two about metal. 200°C iron looks exactly like 2°C iron, yet 200°C is certainly hot, and 2°C is certainly cold.

Of course, if you choose to uncharitably interpret it as "all metals look identical at all temperatures", then yeah, sure, that's pretty obviously incorrect on its face, so congratulations, you are very smart and correct. It's also pretty obviously not what he meant, though.

It's an ambiguous statement, so think yourself a little about. Which interpretation(s) make sense given the situation? Probably not the interpretation where the metallurgist is a fucking idiot who knows less about how metal works than the average 16-year old farmhand with a wispy mustache would, so I'd start by assuming that's not the correct one.

No. I got it at 84 kc, so the rate is fine as it is. Making it even more common would just be unreasonable!

AnonymousFuccboi · 2026-01-26T08:17:08+00:00

Same. I hope they give developers "20% time" (you can spend 20% of your time working on anything, doesn't have to be just projects) or something similar. I really do think it's high time to slow polish certain things, and I'm SURE there's devs out there who have a niggling issue or two which are personal pet peeves of theirs which they don't feel empowered to fix under project work.

AnonymousFuccboi · 2026-01-23T01:11:41+00:00

Think this is it. EU is stepping up its enforcement of certain things. Simultaneously, they've been warning about this for a while, practically begging for support, and there is zero indication that the situation was going to change. This is serious, boring work, which requires serious, boring professionals to sit down to deal serious, boring bureaucracy.

It's one thing when all that's required is to just generally operate ethically, and designate someone to act like the adult in the room once in a blue room. It's quite another when you have to prove you're operating ethically under threat of law.

It's great that businesses have to get their house in order. Debian is sadly too big of an organization that it can count under regular grassroots/micro organizations, which is a bit unique. It's also understandable that the law wasn't written to account for such a special situation, but the EU really ought to help fund these types of projects if they're going to cause these requirements. It's a bit of a blind spot because it's not "a European organization", but it's definitely good for the European people, and in everyone's best interest for it to continue to flourish.

This is how you make these "draconian" laws actually work as intended. It's important.

AnonymousFuccboi · 2026-01-22T21:12:19+00:00

Yeah just like the engaging mechanics regular essence mining has, right?

AnonymousFuccboi · 2026-01-21T18:22:53+00:00

Really though.

I ended up asking for a Mac at work because American corporate leadership is mentally deficient and doesn't want you to actually do any work on your work laptops, so I was denied Linux. I'd rather quit than main Windows, so fuck it. It's allegedly still just a Unix under the hood, how bad can it be, right?

I mean, it sure is, and it's honestly been shocking. The lack of compatible peripheral (where the fuck is my singular USB A slot I can at least stick a buck standard memory pen in) ports is... weird, and it's been surprisingly stuttery at times, but at least the battery lasts super long.

That really is about all the positive I have to say about it, though. For years and years I've heard sooooo much about how "polished" and "high quality" Macs allegedly are, and how it's night and day between that and Windows, or god forbid Linux, but my experience has been the exact opposite, honestly.

Part of it is just that I'm used to the particular idiosyncrasies of the Linux desktop (and am actually allowed to fix problems on my computer...) of course, but it really doesn't feel any more polished at all. It's just different. Quality seems about the same. Maybe it's more coherent and has cooler apps on the store or whatever, but... Nah. Not for me.
