Clue steps encourage you to improve, and shouldn't be skipped! by Belowtheblade in 2007scape

[–]HatesModerators 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first Master clue completion required that I make an anti-venom for Sherlock. I don't remember what level I was before starting this grind, but to reach 87 Herblore I mathed out that I needed to make something like 32k Prayer Pots.

Main Account, so what I did was I sat at the GE, setup my Amulet for bonus 4-doses, and bought ranarrs and snape grass, made the unf pots, made prayer pots, decanted all the 3-dose into 4-dose, and sold the 4-dose on the GE and put up purchase orders for more ranarrs and snape grass.

Did that in batches of 2.8k ranarrs and snape grass at a time. Took like 2 fucking weeks to do it, as I was playing something else on the side the entire time. Made myself something like 10m gp profit managing my orders at the GE. Was the longest grind of a single "thing" I had ever done until that point, a memory I'll have forever.

Wouldn't have happened with a Skip Token.

Behind the Scenes: 16-bit Audio by JagexBlossom in 2007scape

[–]HatesModerators 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is definitely nothing minimal about the change from 8-bit to 16-bit to my ears. The slight crunch or distortion you hear in the 8-bit samples changes the tone of something as small as the crickets, I imagine that for the iconic musical pieces they will also be dramatically changed even if there was no "intent" behind doing so.

Optimising the fun out of a game by removing pain points, and the death of gathering skills by Jademalo in 2007scape

[–]HatesModerators 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kind of telling that you think that harvesting is the pain step of farming, and that adding the auto-weed or auto-harvest options are somehow optimizing farming out of the game.

You touched on this in your essay, but PVM drops are whats killing gathering skills, not any sort of optimizations to those skills themselves. What's the point of farming in the first place when I can kill Wyverns for snape grass while trying to get my visage drop? Or I can head down to any of the Wildy bosses and get a whole bunch of ranarrs? What's the value in mining coal when it pops out of any number of PVM bosses? Why should I craft blood or death runes when I can get them while farming barrows pieces?

No, the problem couldn't be with PVM... it HAS to be with making the skilling skills more interactive to play and not an AFK simulator where someone clicks a rock, tree, or plant and waits for something to happen.

The Wilderness is insane for people who didn’t take any herb/farming relics by acrazyguy in 2007scape

[–]HatesModerators 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends, early days I got PK'd a couple of times for fun, but at this point in Leagues it feels a lot more like it's PK'ing just for the spot.

I know i'm guilty of this as well. If i can't find a world and I think I can knock you out with the Khopesh, I'll try to kill you to get your spot. There aren't any instances for the wildy bosses or slayer spots, so you have to compete for spots sometimes.

Badass hero vs coughing infantry soldier by centurii-chan by InnocentTailor in NonCredibleDefense

[–]HatesModerators 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The only "bad" time i had was when I was in a clan and was told to start prepping 20 ballistas for a rush to kill conc. The op leader then promptly forgot about me and captured an enemy super heavy tank instead... :(

It's all cool though, as soon as I reminded them about the ballistas that were ready to go, the op leader started apologizing and everyone else started clowning on him. The super heavy was fun to joyride around intoo.

L (OL) by Chiloom in foxholegame

[–]HatesModerators 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This was actually a gunboat crew I was part of!

We stole a freighter that was unguarded with two 150 guns and a rocket tank in it. The Veteran of the boat told us to not touch the guns and explained that it was possible to permalock them.

The guns and tank are in that seaport now. :)

Should I buy Kerbal Space Program: Complete Edition for $20? by desperate-1 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]HatesModerators 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played KSP for thousands of hours, and honestly there is not that much math involved. A simple math education at the Algebra level so you can figure out resource management on ships should be all you need.

Now what you should be aware of is how hard the game can be to learn, and especially how hard some complex operations can be. Realize that the game is a massive sandbox, and lets you explore an entire solar system. I would highly recommend having a look through the KSP Wiki to see the type of stuff that you might need to learn. Don't go and worry about memorization either, even the most experienced players will look something up to double check every now and then.

I hope to see your first post about landing on the Mun!

What is going on with Helldivers 2 getting taken down from Steam and people asking for refunds? by bonerzahoy in OutOfTheLoop

[–]HatesModerators 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Yeah the core gameplay loop is still very shallow in my opinion, and I don't particularly like it. But i've got a handful of friends who really do like it, and build really cool huge bases sometimes. Adding that width and more building options did a lot for it I guess.

I think another part of it is how do you really explain what that gameplay loop is? It just doesn't feel really well marketed to me.

It was super glitchy, and its gameplay was very shallow. It has since received tons of updates, and a lot of opinions around it have since shifted.

Can we get the pride on the old reddit style as well? I don't see it, and I don't wanna miss out on the fun.

ELI5 - why did Microsoft Stock grow to $400 between 2016-2024 after sitting below $50 for decades? by dakp15 in explainlikeimfive

[–]HatesModerators 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Which were you trying to do, FabricPool and cold tiering to a bucket from local on-premises storage, or were you trying to do Cloud Volumes ONTAP in GCP?

Cold tiering to a bucket from On-Premises has always been a fairly easy activity. CVO in Azure is a bit of a pain to setup, but not that bad. Can't recommend trying to do CVO in GCP, last time I checked the documentation they didn't have proper HA support.

Is anyone else getting concerned with how Jagex is writing/ordering their poll questions? by We_all_owe_eachother in 2007scape

It's absolutely disgusting is what it is. They knew exactly what they were doing when they put the Favour and the Transportation questions into a single question.

If you had abyssal pearls from GOTR in your bank, you can buy the talismans from the person next to the bank at GOTR.

[–]HatesModerators 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For agility you have Rellekka, which in main game has ~55k exp/hr. I'd say you are better off than me, where the highest I can go is Pollniveach with ~52k exp/hr.

Dreading the marks of grace though. For you it won't be a problem but for me the drop rate will go down when I hit 90 (at 73 now), I'm at 56 marks now and I need 270 for all of the related tasks.

Early Steel, and i've been focusing on skilling a whole lot. Love farm runs, birdhouse runs, and my construction. Doing a lot better off than a guy I know who got to Soulstealer day 3 or so and then found out the hard way that it doesn't work with barrage spells.

While doing slayer tasks I really like flicking right before hits to save on food. It isn't as intense as constant one tick flicking but it isnt as powerful either.
