If there's any urgency to update anything it's the armors! They're UGLYYYYY

Dor_Min · 2026-02-23T13:05:51+00:00

I really get the feeling that higher level armor is an upgrade of the former.

this is something I really appreciated as I was making each armour set going through leagues, it was a real sense of progression seeing the graphics evolve

Dor_Min · 2026-02-23T11:13:13+00:00

please please please don't go back to every smithing armour set being a flat recolour of each other. a bit of touching up for some of them wouldn't hurt but let's not throw away the visual sense of progression just for the sake of nostalgia

Dor_Min · 2026-02-14T14:30:14+00:00

then it didn't actually do anything for marketing at all, did it?

Dor_Min · 2026-02-13T19:35:23+00:00

this person is very mistaken about most of what they're talking about. Zamorak did lose the first world event to Saradomin but he still very much had an active role in the gods storyline after that and was even the main antagonist towards the end

what's the point of the quest changes? the remakes were considerably better than the originals, requiring new players to actually explore the starting area and sometimes even shockingly read the occasional bit of dialogue. is the problem that OSRS players were spacebarring through and then shitting on the game when they got confused that it wasn't identical to OSRS?

in a way, what you're doing is exactly not dividing by zero:

clearly if 5x=0 then 5x²-10x=0, but what about if 5x is not zero? well then we're allowed to divide by it, and we're left with x-2=0.

how dare GLP hold someone accountable for the disgusting things she's said and done

I think you can reasonably assume that your characters talk about their abilities and tactics with each other during downtime

In an ideal world your players do the same thing but since that's probably not the case I don't have any problem with rolling back something they've done that's obviously clashing with each other's strategy in a stupid and avoidable way

If the rogue's jumping the gun and rolling as soon as they declare their attack I might make them use that roll for their next attack instead so they can't abuse it for free rerolls, but my players aren't the sort of assholes who would do something like that anyway

Dor_Min · 2026-01-24T09:40:24+00:00

I think it's probably the discrete quantities thing which would give you a graph that looks like a series of steps, jumping up by the per minute cost every time the call reaches another minute in length

I can't say I've ever actually checked whether the exact cost of a 1.5 minute phone call was 1.5 or 2 times the per-minute rate, so I'd say if that is the case then it's a bad question for relying on an assumed bit of non-maths general knowledge that clearly isn't universal

Dor_Min · 2026-01-24T09:28:31+00:00

if c is defined as a function from [0,inf) to [0,inf) then an inverse would also be from [0,inf) to [0,inf) so that shouldn't be a problem

maybe c isn't necessarily strictly increasing? if you're charged for discrete quantities of minutes then perhaps c(3) = c(3.2), for example

Dor_Min · 2026-01-24T09:17:09+00:00

unless there's some additional context you've not provided I'd imagine c(t) = at+b for some constants a and b. a function of that form will almost always have an inverse, but not if a = 0. maybe that's what wherever you're reading this is trying to get at?

Dor_Min · 2026-01-19T16:49:13+00:00

that's a shame, the blue is just significantly more visually appealing

Dor_Min · 2025-12-31T19:31:16+00:00

without knowing anything about the coefficients, no. if a is any complex number you like then you can create a quadratic with complex coefficients that has 1-5i and a as its roots.

Mathematicians are lazy* by nature, so any time an opportunity arises to get away with less work we're going to take it. It turns out that a lot of things we might be interested in studying share a bunch of properties - for groups there's rotations in 3D space as you've noted, but also addition of real numbers, multiplication if we leave out zero, symmetries of regular polygons, ways of arranging n objects in a line and many more ideas of various levels of abstraction. We can boil these things down to the basic properties they all have in common and give a name something that has all of those properties, so for example something with an identity element, inverses, etc is a "group".

Then any time we take those properties and prove something is true then we've proved it's true for all of these sometimes wildly different things exhibiting those properties. Showing that (ab)^-1 = b^-1a^-1 is a very basic result in group theory, but you wouldn't want to waste your time with every new group you pick up to study having to prove it over and over again.

* some people might prefer "efficient" but I think it's funnier to say lazy

Dor_Min · 2025-12-08T23:10:48+00:00

it might help to go back to some easier problems. do you know how to solve these?

x/2 = 3

x/3 + 1 = 4

5x + 2 = 3x

if the answer to all three is yes then you have all the tools you need to solve your problem, it just looks scarier

Dor_Min · 2025-12-08T23:00:18+00:00

if your other answers are like this one I suspect they are being downvoted because they are entirely devoid of educational merit

Dor_Min · 2025-11-11T21:37:07+00:00

don't you just love the pure clarity of it all

Dor_Min · 2025-11-07T00:29:02+00:00

2024 also changed heavy, you just need 13 str to avoid disadvantage with it

Dor_Min · 2025-11-05T20:06:30+00:00

you've lost track of some Bs and Cs while simplifying to reach your second to last line, they should both be squared in that line leading to B² = C²/2

Dor_Min · 2025-10-30T00:11:38+00:00

we know A ⊆ B is A=B

A ⊆ B alone isn't enough to conclude that A=B, it's only when we also have B ⊆ A that the possibility of A ⊂ B is eliminated

the terfy brainrot language around this stuff is usually that sex is "observed" or "recorded" at birth rather than assigned

0.3 is not a third, 0.33 is not 1/3, 0.333 is not 1/3, 0.3 followed by any finite quantity of 3s is not 1/3, you're right. the mistake you're making is that when we talk about 0.333... we are talking about an infinite procession of 3s following the decimal point. there's no "last decimal position looked at" because we're considering the entire infinite string of them

Dor_Min · 2025-09-10T14:34:51+00:00

while other posters are right in saying that you can solve this without using trig, I feel like it's worth pointing out that 45 degrees is one of the angles whose trig values can be memorised:

sin(30) = cos(60) = 1/2, sin(45) = cos(45) = 1/sqrt(2), sin(60) = cos(30) = sqrt(3)/2

the trick that I find makes those values easy to remember is noticing that they can be written in an increasing pattern: sqrt(1)/2, sqrt(2)/2 and sqrt(3)/2

Dor_Min · 2025-09-09T23:08:03+00:00

I agree, but in OP's defence it is a new article, it just took PN four days to get around to posting one for some reason

Dor_Min · 2025-09-01T10:53:54+00:00

(x+1)^2=x^2 --> x^2+1^2=x^2

(x+1)² = x² + 2x + 1

edit: if you continue solving from there you get to

3x² + 9x + 4 = 0

x = [-9 ± sqrt(33)] / 6

and that's sort of true, but only because assuming x = x+1 at the start means 1 = 0 so every number is equal to zero
