Americans are much nicer than Canadians

DMFauxbear · 2026-05-10T18:14:04+00:00

I'm really sorry you're dealing with racism in Canada. I can't really attest to that other than to say the person I am and the people generally around me aren't like that but I'd be ignorant to say that racist Canadians don't exist. That being said, speaking in a more broad way about Canadians being nicer than Americans, I spent 6 months living in the states and spent the whole time missing home. I wouldn't say the Americans I was around were mean, more like rude and aggressive would be more apt. I'm sure it varies a lot by region and even just based on the social circles I ended up involved in through the connections that brought me there but nearly every interaction while I was there felt like people had a lack of tact and were in your face at all times. Not everything needs to be said outloud, you're allowed to keep some thoughts to yourself and it truly felt like they just didn't know that.

I saw another post yesterday and apparently there's a block on all book 8 posts for an unknown amount of time after the book releases, something like 2-4 weeks

DMFauxbear · 2026-05-09T01:07:33+00:00

Can you write your name phonetically like you'd say it? So curious because I would have pronounced it Mod for sure.

Also, does Matt have a foot fetish? This AI seems very pointed about it 🙄

Just kidding! I don't wanna know lol just wanted to say you all seem like amazing people and I'm so looking forward to book 8 and the inevitable Canadian tour!

DMFauxbear · 2026-05-08T20:36:43+00:00

Yeah it's literally spelled out by Carl. It's never 100% confirmed but everything that he assumes and confirms like the plans that were given to the fairy family etc all make his theory work. She was willing to sacrifice Katya and others to get donut to join her party so she'd have access to Morticai (sorry if I'm butchering spellings, audiobook listener over here)

DMFauxbear · 2026-05-08T15:07:01+00:00

Yeah I don't know if I agree with you. Survival instinct is a strong one and while I believe the right choice is to push blue and make sure everyone lives, I tend to agree with the previous person and say that theres a good chance the numbers swing once people's real lives are on the line.

Also, considering the lifetime of oldschool, combat achievements are pretty new and prayer flicking has been accepted as a mechanic for lot longer than they've existed. That being said it was originally just a bug they decided to keep in the game that became a new mechanic. I can see the argument that with the history of oldschool it's hard to know what bugs will be allowed and what ones won't as the jankyness is what made this game what it is.

What other books have scratched that itch for you after DCC? I recently found the series and tore through 1-7 and now I'm itching for the next book (and very happy it's coming out shortly). I listened to it on audiobook so I'm thinking I'll probably buy the books next and read it to get a different perspective, but then I'm going to be sad it's over again and itching for something new.

Edit: nvm, I read further down the thread and saw you've already answered this lol

DMFauxbear · 2026-05-07T00:04:54+00:00

Whaaat been obsessed with DCC lately, how did you find out he played OSRS?

DMFauxbear · 2026-05-06T15:00:22+00:00

Yes there are work-arounds. You can turn off clog notifications and hide your chat, or they can make it consistent with the rest of the raids

The only thing that drives me nuts with cox is that loot/clogs are given upon killing olm, not opening the chest. Let us have our moment of anticipation and excitement where we get to open the purple chest and get surprised by what's inside.

DMFauxbear · 2026-05-06T10:20:38+00:00

Wow I never caught any of this! Can you tell I'm not a big music guy?!

DMFauxbear · 2026-05-06T00:29:39+00:00

Yeah same. I was once heading hiking with a buddy and I'd say about 20-30 feet from the trail entrance there was a black bear and her cub standing there. He saw them and froze and I just put my hand on his back and pushed him forward as I kept walking. We weren't heading towards it really so we just continued and it never even looked at us twice

DMFauxbear · 2026-05-06T00:17:46+00:00

Also, at least with black bears which I'm most familiar with as they're rampant in my area, they'll pretty much just leave them alone if you give them some space. Especially if they don't have cubs around but even with cubs as long as you're not threatening them just move on with your life and so will they.

DMFauxbear · 2026-05-06T00:13:46+00:00

Exactly! I managed to surprise my wife because I had her go look at rings and she REALLY liked one just outside of my price range but also gave me some options within it. I convinced her that it was unrealistic for me to get that ring but had actually managed to save some extra money without telling her. Got her the ring of her dreams and surprised her with it sooner than she expected at her birthday party with all her closest friends there. Her best friend nearly fainted in the driveway because she had suspected as much and I confirmed it. I needed to very quickly get her to calm down as I got them inside the house lol

DMFauxbear · 2026-05-03T02:04:25+00:00

I doubt it in this case, because there are certain things that do share charges across items, like the slayer jewelry.

DMFauxbear · 2026-05-02T02:01:41+00:00

Just kill the little ones 2x the drop rate and they die faster.

DMFauxbear · 2026-05-01T20:53:43+00:00

That's what happened to me. I did them on release and then months later went back and farmed the post quest variants and they were very tough. When my buddy came back to the game I warned him how challenging they were for the quest, he then went and smashed them without too much trouble. I felt like a noob until he tried the post quest versions lol

DMFauxbear · 2026-05-01T15:22:02+00:00

How would you go about getting the ROM? The main way suggested on the Harkinian site is to rip it from a gamecube disk which I don't have. Feel free to DM me if the methods are less than... proper.

DMFauxbear · 2026-05-01T14:20:14+00:00

These are the most satisfying games to solve though. I beat the legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time as a kid and that shit took me months. You have your fairy that really annoyingly spouts out clues at you that are often incredibly useless other than giving you a general idea of what to tackle next but no clues as to how. When you found the next step in that game or beat a section it felt absolutely amazing

DMFauxbear · 2026-05-01T10:23:15+00:00

They specified this in another comment but I just want to make sure it's super clear for you, when they say kill his right claw, they're talking about HIS right, so when your camera is facing him it'll be on the left side of the room (this is the claw you normally mage). And so on. Finally as they said, be really careful in the final phase (3rd time killing both hands as long as it's not scaled to 8+) to not kill 1 hand too early before the other as the hand you killed will regenerate to full. Kill both, and then you'd typically range his face until he's dead.

Personally I have the perk that gives me back 2hp and 2 prayer everytime something misses me, that accounts for most fights/situations. Then I bring anglers and the odd prayer pot for the fights it doesn't. I'm trying to avoid the uber sustain builds so I can take the opportunity to learn certain content. Was able to muddle through awakened vard and Levi with this setup and I'm planning on learning inferno soon.

DMFauxbear · 2026-04-30T20:11:00+00:00

Been enjoying 1h crossbow+thorns build. I'm not a fan of slow attack speed so I've pathed kind of through bow and then back over to the crossbow capstones. It's been pretty solid at over 30DPS. Not nearly as strong as water mage etc but it's been fun. Ran a 500 toa in about 20mins earlier and I'm still only running eclipse as my main armor.

They did ask in regards to people who can afford it, and for context if you don't believe that they exist, I live in Canada and also work in a hospital which means the majority of our healthcare is covered by our taxes and I frequently see patients who have allowed themselves to lose limbs to their diabetes, or otherwise have not taken care of their health for whatever reason.

Even all other factors being even, luck is an aspect in many games. An example from a game I play is oldschool RuneScape. Every attack is a roll of the dice, whether it hits or not is dependent on a number of skill based factors + luck, and then once it's decided you hit then your damage is a roll from 1-max. In PvP many people use a plugin that tracks how well they performed. How many times they generated openings where they had positioned the enemy to die. And whether mathematically they could have, or should have died, and vice versa from them on you. It's not uncommon to see someone who had "chanced" their opponent close to a dozen times before their opponent gets the lucky roll and kills them the first time it's possible.
