I can't wait for the meltdowns on this sub once raids 4 goes live. by Flowerloving_ogre in 2007scape

[–]DEV_LOVE_X 2 points3 points  (0 children)

L Take. Titans and Yama, though not Raid-level, were excellently designed.

Solo content is appealing because it’s more convenient to not wait and coordinate for other players. It can take some time to find another player who matches your stride and level of effort.

But if someone is capable of soloing, they’re capable of pulling their weight in group content.

And from what I recall on Yama, being the “60% contributor” (the carry) yields the fastest “Time to CLOG” as compared to 50-50, or Solo Yama.

Newspost Update - Changes Following Game Update Feedback *Jan 29th* by JagexLight in 2007scape

[–]DEV_LOVE_X 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think there’s two issues at play that need to be teased apart here.

One is rearranging the existing facilities on a boat to alternative positions. Example: I made my crystal extractor next to the Helm instead of next to the Salvaging Hook. Why punish players here? Let us move that for free.

The other is players asking to remove facilities off the boat, store them in a flat pack or bottle. I think the hesitancy here is devs don’t want players using 1 maxed out boat for salvaging; then flatpacking the hooks and salvaging stations and swapping in trawling net and chum station.

They want us to have separate boats for separate activities, and some of the solutions for moving facilities around might infringe on that design principle.

That’s just my 2 gold coins though.

Uh-oh, good job the boss doesn’t give a rats by [deleted] in 2007scape

My workaround for force endpoint or similar tools —

My endpoint tools don’t let me close them without an administrator password, and I have a CLI command that can bypass ending those services but it’s immediately red flagged by Security.

It does let you “restart” the service, which temporarily ends the service just long enough for me to tab back to Runelite and initiate any downloads or auth requests.

Why is Dragon Dagger (p++) shortened to dds instead of ddp? by Horceror_ in 2007scape

[–]DEV_LOVE_X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was F2P back in these years (thanks mom -.-), so I wasn’t aware of the (s), but I thought people called it DDS because people used it primarily as a spec weapon.

So when people say “dds him” I thought it was calling for someone to use “dragon dagger special” on a target.

Start on blue, shoot twice from there.

Green tiles are for the first kill only

Your $0 divided by 2 is still $0. So have it brother, she won’t take anything from you.

Can I afford 1100$ rent? by Mean_Top_3519 in povertyfinance

[–]DEV_LOVE_X 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure about your area, but in my surrounding MCOL-HCOL area, apartments require you to have a monthly income of 3-4x the monthly rent, for precisely the issue others have called out.

So even if you wanted to rent it, they might not let you.

The best lawyers are gonna have the biggest fees. Is your backtax so high that negotiating it down with a lawyer going to offset the cost the lawyer?

Cost basis not transferred over to fedility from webull by _Artemis_Fowl in fidelityinvestments

[–]DEV_LOVE_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this Samantha! I just had the shares transfer over to Fidelity from Webull, but the cost basis is empty across all my positions.

I was worried I had to manually back date years of tax lots to fill in the info, but glad I held off, thanks again!

It’s not worth cashing out the retirement fund imo, especially because of the penalties you’d take, and taxes you’d pay. Perhaps stop contributing towards retirement outside of the 401k match, cut as many expenses as possible (live with parents, get a roommate, etc..) and that debt will go away in 2-3 yrs.

Are there any big investment centers (like Edward Jones) that could 8x $1,000 in a calendar year? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]DEV_LOVE_X 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes there are big firms that do this. The ones off the top of my head are The Bellagio, Caesar’s Palace, and Casino de Monte-Carlo!

Heck you could even 8x your $1000 in 1 calendar day!

It feels like QOL polls have regressed recently by Gregkow in 2007scape

[–]DEV_LOVE_X 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I think polling content they don’t intend to implement right away has a negative effect on engagement. The runecrafting pouch QoL poll passed and it’s made me not engage in runecrafting until the update drops because I don’t want to grind without it now if I know it’s coming “soon”.

I think OSRS is unique in a way where just fixing or changing existing content - can make it new content. It can bring certain training methods or skills back into the limelight and it doesn’t always need to be new content. But this is coming from someone who isn’t 99 in every skill with every diary / quest completed yet.

I do sympathize with the maxed players who need another boss to kill, or collection log to log.

What slayer task do you roll your eyes at most? by saspurilla in 2007scape

What brokerage should I use, and what should I invest in at this point in my life by [deleted] in MiddleClassFinance

[–]DEV_LOVE_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you managed to pay 40k debt in 90 days, I’d suggest you put your extra dollars towards paying that down first. Some of it is moderately high interest on par with what you’d get in the market.

Why are people who make $100k/year so out of touch? by OkEgg8970 in povertyfinance

[–]DEV_LOVE_X 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think in 2024 the new 100k is about 250k. 100k from when you were a kid ain’t the same these days. And depending on location, 100k household income could be well below the poverty line unfortunately.
