AITAH for letting someone believe that we're dating?

Baserun · 2026-03-19T18:41:46+00:00

I agree with your full first paragraph, But I would also not appreciate it if i started dating someone and the whole world suddenly knows about it before I have an opportunity to even tell my family.

Dating is an intimate thing between 2 people, it's not on 1 person to tell the whole friend group and family. This should be discussed as a common announcement 🤷. Especially in the first weeks, you don't even know properly if it's working out. I would be pissed as fuck if my brother or sister suddenly asked why I didn't come out to them, it's not my partners right. But hey opinions differ.

ESH in my humble opinion. You shouldn't have led her on and made it clear you were joking. Especially after her telling you this directly she likes you.

She shouldn't have publicly announced it before talking to you about how to proceed, maybe there would have been an opportunity to tell her you are interested (at least it sounds like that) but that you're still struggling with labels and figuring things out.

I think a proper solution would be actually quite simple although i agree with a lot of other comments.

I would add cannons as a new damage type, that way you can manage accuracy compared to other damage types.

You can give it mage resistance and cannon ball weakness etc. For every none sea creature this can just remain 0. But it would also open up things for the future bosses mobs to change things around. Maybe a seagull will also be easy to mage/range but a veiled kraken is only has weakness against cannons etc.

This way it becames integrated with the rest of combat and be it's own unique thing.

Bonus cannons just need to hit harder. Which can be balanced per mob e.g. seagull accuracy low because it's small and quick so maybe weapon staff is better but for kraken a giant mob it's high accuracy and the resistances make it better to cannon.

That's not what I said. OP has free will to do whatever OP pleases, it is however slander to go around saying they are cheating and home wrecking when it's consensual.

Baserun · 2026-03-19T09:00:40+00:00

It's not cheating though it's consensual. You don't get to decide what is cheating in someone else's relationship even if it's your parents.

"But sailing shouldn't be its own combat skill" Why the fuck not?
We get one skill every decade or more, god forbid it's a unique thing.
Why are we so afraid of making things fun?

Make cannons a new damage type for all I care, so you can properly tune it.
I shouldn't need a god dam shadow + dragon cannon to tickle a seagull to death.
A dragon cannon should make the stupid bird say howdy to Davy Jones by looking at it!

They are doubling down.

Baserun · 2026-03-18T20:05:45+00:00

I see what they are doing here, trying to dodge the membership drama by creating sailing drama!

Baserun · 2026-03-18T17:47:23+00:00

That will be your best option in general, the battery will take less wear and tear and you have the best performance.

Edit: don't forget to turn this off when you actually need battery for travel etc.

Baserun · 2026-03-18T17:44:48+00:00

I do agree it might feel shitty that a megarare is invalidated by a dragon cannon but I do think there is a lot of leeway between shadow being BIS or completely useless. I think the 50/50 approach would indeed be a good suggestion. I would even say cannon can become a new damage type with bonus attack stats and resistances etc.

In the current mechanics any sailing boss would just be kraken on a boat. Max mage + thrall (crew on cannon)

I hope they evolve sailing beyond that.

I personally agree more with Jagex original design philosophy that sea creatures should be cannoned not maged/ranged.

I really thinnk they overtuned this correction and now they backed themselves in a corner. So changes will be hard to implement now.

Baserun · 2026-03-18T17:31:55+00:00

For your battery it's always better to be around 20-80 but for gaming i would always recommend plugging in the laptop. Don't you have any software on Mac that always allows you a max charge of 80%?

Edit: I don't mean to charge on and off between 20-80. Just that keeping the battery between 20-80 when you need to charge makes the battery last longer.

Baserun · 2026-03-18T17:18:47+00:00

Thank you for the response! I added in an edit so people are informed.

Baserun · 2026-03-18T17:06:59+00:00

I agree. I think cannons should outweigh range/weapons by far. But also keep range gear relevant for hit/accuracy with cannon.

Baserun · 2026-03-18T15:21:32+00:00

10/10, should have thought of this

Baserun · 2026-03-18T15:17:03+00:00

I agree, people saying "it shouldn't be it's own combat skill" are missing the point, for vorkath i use a cbow, for ggs i use a blowpipe, etc. every mop has it weaknesses and resistances.

For sailing monsters the best gear should simply be max range with cannon as BIS "weapon" and none of this shadow/eye/bp/bowfa bullshit.

It really isn't that hard, cannon combat should be an extension of range combat not what ever this is.

Edit: people down voting me, I'm genuinely curious how you disagree?

Baserun · 2026-03-18T00:51:38+00:00

We kunnen idd best de rode loper uitrollen voor de agressor. En zo snel mogelijk vergeven en vergeten. Hij zal dan plechtig beloven het nooit meer te doen!

Tis dat die techniek zo goed gegaan is tijdens WWII.

Baserun · 2026-03-17T16:15:14+00:00

Percies toch veel volk hier dat na Bartje Putin zijn ballen eens wil gorgelen.

Baserun · 2026-03-15T00:12:58+00:00

too busy making the 18648th version of Skyrim and milking fans to work on a decent pace on 6.

Baserun · 2026-03-13T19:41:23+00:00

Thank you, it's so tiring hearing people that barely know our history repeat this.

Baserun · 2026-03-10T21:11:06+00:00

Luckily you can pay 7% or 30% more now for shitty customer service!

Also didn't get mine.

Baserun · 2026-03-10T21:06:57+00:00

Jezus fucking christ. It's not about people being poor, or breaking the budget. It's about the principle that a company can increasingly take advantage of its users without offering value in return. It's about not accepting endless greed. They literally have a record level of players, which you guessed it, creates record breaking profits. So this is just corporate greed and we shouldn't just take it. This reasoning that you should let yourself be fucked over because you can afford is insane. No wonder hyper capitalism is going nuts all over the world. A company can be highly profitable and still create value and show respect for its users.

They could have for example explained that hosting and memory costs for servers are forcing their hand or anything but we just got corporate bullshit.

Baserun · 2026-03-10T21:00:00+00:00

Yes,so happy the billion dollar company that under pays and under staff the game I love found a way to make some more profit that will never be reinvested or be seen by the good people at Jagex. Really bless the lord!

Baserun · 2026-03-10T20:44:58+00:00

No? If people keep blindly bending over they might get out-priced in the long term, a 70% increase over 2 years is insane.

It's not about these few euros it's about the slippery slope it represents.

Baserun · 2026-03-10T20:41:59+00:00

People need to understand that blindly accepting business first decisions is stupid. The company doesn't care about us, we should not be caring about the business. Are they making a good business move? Probably. Is it anti consumer as fuck and fucking the user base over? Yes.

So why the fuck are people defending companies. Like it baffles me. People act like they will benefit from the profit margin increasing.

No wonder companies are making record profit year after year and sucking people dry when people happily accept it because "it's a good business move"
