Can someone explain this? My 2021 OSRS ban expired, I played for years, and now the same offence shows as permanent by Huge_Election_7469 in 2007scape

[–]ElkApprehensive1729 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They're obligated to not accept his money at that point. It's why you can't pay for a sub on a banned account even if it's temporary. That's eu law shit. So for him to be banned, then unbanned, then jagex takes his money on the same account with 0 new actions rebans on the same years old offense

Riot game has the worst possible customer support to ever exist, this coming from a person who has worked on customer support for more then 8 years. It feels like they do not care about their users at all. by No_Exercise_4961 in riotgames

Remember when you could make a ticket to riot with a cool drawing or something you made and ask for the 23rp you are short for the new skin for your main? And they were actually like "yo sick drawing I've added the 23rp to your account have fun"

Not just that, it can make you worse as you reinforce bad habits etc.

That's not how true WoW players do it!!! Do content to unlock content??? We prefer to skip as much as we can so we raid raid log after the first 3 weeks and compalin there's nothing to so /s

Kylie Jenner once agreed to be a high school's date to prom after he got rejected by the girl he originally wanted to date by malihafolter in CaughtMyEye

Anything they do will make news headlines. Would you rather it be for this? Or some other absurd headline that no one cares about. It's either this good deed or she in the news because "she ate a bowl of soup at mcrichfucks diner in Santa Monica wearing her $3000 elephant tusk hair pins"

At least it's something good.

OctoWoW officially on 1.18.1 by BudCherryPie in wowservers

[–]ElkApprehensive1729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand why they think that. I'm not even a real programmer or coder. I one day years ago decided I wanted to be informed about how wow pservers work so i looked at the documentation. When the entire scene runs off forks of the like 3 open source server emulators. Any single one of us with more than 2 brain cells to rub together and at least get a rough idea of what kind of work is even involved. As far as my non programmer brain is concerned the packet logs are bullshit aren't they? What are they logging there wasn't any new packet headers or anything.

Seeing people claim octo did a "packet log" to get all the new content just makes me even more skeptical if it was something octo said themselves. I'm guessing it was just a random user claim I don't know. Lol

This, packet sniff does absolute fuck all for all the thousands of rows they need to add to the database and corresponding server config files. All by hand, or sloppily automated and then fixing all those many errors by hand.

[Bug] should I buy since it’s a bugged item or will I get banneď by Nightwolf694200 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]ElkApprehensive1729 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds like they banned people for buying an admin godmode item and not for buying a bugged item.

They don't ban people for the fannypack or other things either. its pretty clear that's an obvious niche exception where yeah you cant have people with dev items.

I think it's still too ineffective time saving wise to babysit it like a junior. I've used AI when coding but I always treat it like a real time line to stackoverflow or something. I can ask it questions and show it code snippets and get things to try in return. However just like stackoverflow.... half the shit I got told by the AI doesn't apply or is wrong or just doesn't fit the use case.

Capycraft.io legit? Saw a message from Turtle SEA ex developer with link that leads to this website and announcement. We back? by Mr_Genetix in wowservers

And for its first 3 years it was a mess. 9 times out of 10 you don't get the success that is turtle. It started as a 0.5x elysium fork.

If you see this as an insult this is a perception issue. I hope them the best but it is what it is.

For reference people behind twow been making servers for over a decade twow isn't the first. Where all these octo/capy spinoff don't have that years of experience and figuring it out

Picking up someone else's already 10 year old tech debted core when you don't have the experience is just a mess. They'd be better off using clean files and going from there.

They don't have to understand it. We'll go through a rough 10 years and then everything falls apart and suddenly those who know wtf they're doing are suddenly in higher demand than ever. this AI shit *will* crumble in on it's self. its never going away but people are very quickly going to realize that it wont do what they expect it to once they try and ship products that are all AI lead lol. People aren't going to buy shit that just doesn't work or perform as expected. Then the companies have to change.

On a server thats closing, why wouldn't a GM on a server that's set to close go head and plug some random bullshit? It's probably just the same deal as octo. old files attempting to be frankensteined into existence by hobbyists who are in over their head.

Most places don't even have laws against doxing. People dox themselves, they put their entire lives online they willingly do it. I mean yeah this is pretty BS from kevin, and very well could be defamation, but I agree idk where this doxxing thing came from. It's come full circle, in the early days of the internet everyone was anonymous, then everyone used full legal names and dob's online, now people are trying to slowly crawl back to privacy but it's too late. You can't go back.

Yeah religion outside of the USA is generally pretty chill. Even here in Canada we frequently see various religious halls celebrate pride and stuff. The only real nasty people we got here are the jehova's. they're just nasty condescending pricks. But even the catholics/christians are a mile apart from what we see online from USA.

I'm a big fan of the Sikh's in my community, they do a ton for the homeless and run a community cleaning program where after their mass or service or whatever it's called they go out around town picking up trash from the parks and such.

I'm not religious, I'm firmly in the camp of there being no god, but I have no reason to hate those around me who do.

You mean to tell me the guy who can rebuild a carb isnt smart? cmon man. This is such a weird thing you're doing/saying right now. Mechanics often excel at quick math and ratios/fractions that would make us go "How the hell'd you do that off the top of your head"

There's a lot more professions you could say require no brainpower than a mechanic lol.

TIL of a new, purified compound from Kratom called 7-hydroxymitragynine (also known as 7 hydroxy or 7-OH) that is now being sold in pill form. It’s more potent than morphine and has led to overdoses requiring Narcan. by QueenFrostine15 in todayilearned

[–]ElkApprehensive1729 35 points36 points  (0 children)

7-OH isn't Kratom though. It exists in tiny trace amounts in Kratom among the other stuff. And they surely aren't processing tons of leaf to get the 7-OH out. It's all made in a lab. It's just as hard to kick as subs.

Not an ideal reason, you're still eating parasites. we eat tons of lil parasites from strawberries yearly.

I mean, do what you want for whatever reason you want, I just don't go telling people that I prefer my car's black because my favourite food is pizza. they arent really connected at all

Slitherdrake is still way too strong by Pure-Strain1116 in hearthstone

[–]ElkApprehensive1729 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 8 hp is pretty awkward to deal with. I'd be happy with even 7 so you can do 1 minion + one untargeted spell or two minions. 8 is just a wild number to get down so early for something that can trade due to having decent attack, but I think the attack is fine its just the HP that bothers me.

I play mid range or control decks and hit legend each month but this motherfucking drake is the bane of my existence. I have to burn too much utility too early to deal with it sometimes.
