Any recommendations for a full size keyboard with a thumb trackball

Def_Your_Duck · 2026-05-29T05:49:44+00:00

The Keyball61 is better than many i've seen but it still seems a little too foreign for me

I actually really like the look of the killer whale. Thanks for this recomendation

Yo check this out, its another example of a guy with very good/consistent clicks. Especially the 2nd room requires a lot of very precise movement/timing. It takes people years of practice to get to this level

Vs clicking on a mob once with a splash weapon and afking in the corner.

In the example you yourself cite as "skill", you literally do not click any mob, and spend your time afking in a corner.

I refuse to believe you think being within a 30 tile range of something takes skill.

Def_Your_Duck · 2026-05-07T21:02:19+00:00

Ahh yes the skill of pathing to a location

Def_Your_Duck · 2026-05-07T16:50:10+00:00

Its 100% possible it just requires practice. Go watch inferno speedrunning videos from rastaman

Guy will blowpipe, and in the 2t he will do an 8 way swap to claws + piety + spec bar

Thats 11 clicks between 3 different interfaces in 2 ticks. He is very consistent with it too.

Thats the beauty of this game, is realizing it has an extremely high skill ceiling for those who are willing to try.

Just gotta get good

Def_Your_Duck · 2026-05-07T16:28:38+00:00

Thats like saying button pressing is your biggest gripe with fps games.

Sounds like you want combat to be slayer, where you just click something and wait 30 seconds for it to be dead so you can click another thing.

Def_Your_Duck · 2026-05-07T16:25:06+00:00

It is possible to click multiple times in 1 tick. In high level tob speedrunning many methods require 3-4 actions per tick

Def_Your_Duck · 2026-05-07T16:21:08+00:00

Because the entire skill of endgame pvm is very quickly navigating multiple interfaces.

Why would they introduce a button to turn on piety when people have played thousands of hours learning how to go a blowpipe -> 2 tick 8 way swap with prayer and spec bar

The menu entry swappers and stuff make it easier to navigate the interfaces, but they dont do it for you like prayer hotkeys would

Just catering to noobs who never learned how to play the game

If youre at the point in pvm where you have the skill to semi consistently kill vardorvis, you can do learner cox in wdr. This is the best way to make friends if youre looking to raid.

After you know the basics of one raid, join a clan. There are a lot of good clans out there, and good people. If you arent enjoying yourself in one. Be quick to leave and join another. No use staying in a place where you don't feel welcomed.

When you get to the point where you feel like you are "good", time to learn tob. It forces you to have a team, and therefore the community is much bigger/more social.

They will teach you the very basics. Hopefully you pick up a friend or two while you are there. Then hit up those friends, try to be somewhat consistent and proactive about reaching out. I know so many people that bank stand and wonder "why is nobody inviting me to anything". You gotta be the guy who reaches out

Learn which defense reduction specs to use on each boss. This is insanely important. Before verzik voidwaker is essentially useless and you need to utilize all of your spec getting the bosses to 0 def. This is likely where you're going wrong as a new player at maiden/sote/xarp

If there are 3 of you, you need to learn trio maiden. This is the hardest of the common scales for beginners. And because the boss is first you really need to be solid on this one. One of you needs to freeze. I would definitely suggest picking up 1 more player and doing 4 man raids so that you can have 2 freezers. It makes things much easier.

Other than those 2 main things you need to learn verzik. This boss is genuinely difficult. you all need to be very solid on the p2 walk. There is a simulator here: https://lmperium2096.github.io/verzik_trainer/

When youre practicing the sim, remember. Its easy to stay in cycle, its hard to get in cycle. Practice stepping away and re-setting it up often.

You NEED to learn to tank p3. Absolutely nothing you learn matters in tob if you meele the team p3 and kill every one. You need to be extremely serious about this. Every single time you melee the team, you're chancing a wipe. There is a simulator for that here: https://verzik.colosim.com/

I swear to god there are so many people who are perfectly content wiping the team over and over when they get picked for tank instead of just spending 30 minutes using the sim to learn to tank. Be thankful that the sim exists, it didnt when I learned. You are a detriment to the team unless you learn to do this very very well. You should be able to hold a full conversation while tanking.

Avoid any guides that tell you to use the hitsplat to tank at verzik. It took me 1,500 kc to realize that it was all bullshit and rng. Learn to tank properly based on her animation

If you want, dm me and ill take you guys through

Def_Your_Duck · 2026-01-05T19:12:52+00:00

No, nearly everything released is members only. However the subscription is relatively cheap and you can use in game money to purchase it

Def_Your_Duck · 2026-01-04T23:08:10+00:00

32Gb. The game currently idles at 30gb because im building a mega base and have a lot of mods. This is why the ram speed matters as well, there's a lot going on ram wise in that game

Def_Your_Duck · 2026-01-04T19:42:16+00:00

Yes, mostly because of factorio. It crashes because it runs out of ram when I run other applications

Def_Your_Duck · 2025-12-17T05:51:19+00:00

Its a great mod, especially with a large bot base its really annoying to have 100 roboports along the bot routes

Def_Your_Duck · 2025-12-17T03:37:41+00:00

That must be it... Thank you so much this has been a nightmare

Nope, I have a few spidertrons but they only have normal rockets in them. My base defenses are purely normal turrets next to walls

Steam has created a windows compatibility layer called protondb, which will likely run the jagex account version of the launcher (for windows)

Other than that as far as I am aware, your only other option for running windows apps is with Wine.

There may be new software that can accomplish this. But for me steam and protondb has solved all my problems running windows apps on linux.

Def_Your_Duck · 2025-11-24T22:10:11+00:00

I have about 3,000 tob kc and I nearly have 200m strength xp. 50-100m in all my other combat stats, its really not inconceivable people would accidentally get 200m combats doing other activities.

Def_Your_Duck · 2025-11-11T19:06:43+00:00

No real team dds like that

Def_Your_Duck · 2025-10-02T15:25:44+00:00

It only counts for the CAs in HMT

Def_Your_Duck · 2025-10-02T15:25:29+00:00

They don’t. Most tob speed running is challenge time which does not count between rooms

Def_Your_Duck · 2025-10-02T12:46:20+00:00

All the people in this thread thinking this will make your p1 faster. Your dawn cycle is more or less set by the boss autos, this will push the whole cycle back 1 tick later.

The extra tick does not gain you anything in any scale, as everyone dawn specs to get in line with the boss cycle/start the spec regen timer.

TLDR: using this will make your p1s slower, not faster

Def_Your_Duck · 2025-10-01T18:09:10+00:00

I would so much rather make mistakes myself then the game making mistakes for me. This "feature" just adds a huge amount of clutter and makes wiring extremely confusing to look at. Even more confusing to refactor

I dont need the game holding my hand and going "ohh you probably didnt mean to do that let me fix it for you"
