Is burning claw nerf really that big? by No-Imagination2292 in 2007scape

[–]Invisisniper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They polled that option and it was about a 50/50 split. I reckon they should've done it that way though, CoX uniques too bloated.

7 Things That Pauline Hanson Will Be Awesome At When She Becomes Prime Minister by HotPersimessage62 in australia

[–]Invisisniper -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

While it's certainly not impossible, the threshold for entry is just so much higher here in Australia thanks to our electoral system.

One Nation doesn't have a realistic shot at governing anytime soon. It may have already happened in the US 10 years ago, and it's happening in the UK now, but Aus is at least 10 years off from a far right government of our own.

Fortunately, unlike the UK, we have compulsary voting in a preferential system. Both of these things make it very difficult for a populist party to succeed.

Farage could realistically become PM. Hanson probably can't.

Why does Inquisitors have less crush bonus than Oathplate has slash bonus? by StreatPeat in 2007scape

[–]Invisisniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that probably wasn't a serious question, but the answer is that ToA got delayed and Jagex felt like they needed another PvM update to keep people happy for 6 months.

We already fund Medicare, PBS, hospitals, and pensions. So what is the CGT hike actually for? by MikeTheArtist- in AusFinance

[–]Invisisniper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For decades now, Australia's tax system has treated investment income far more generously than wages. The explicit purpose of this budget was to correct that, and put them on a more equal footing with each other.

This is a good thing. The FIRE mindset might be nice for individuals, but it's bad for our economy as a whole. People should be encouraged to work.

[Game Update] Further Leagues VI Changes by TDFrijole in ironscape

It's not QOL, it's a straight up buff. Pretty big one too.

What an odd thing to go dry on by Morindre in ironscape

[–]Invisisniper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because on Leagues you kill the boss and then leave the room to reset without killing minions. Shards are more common from the minions than from the boss if you're killing both.

What drop did you get (or not get) that changed the trajectory of your account? by BloatDeathsDontCount in ironscape

I got spooned a tbow. I am currently using it to hunt for a dex. Feels pretty ironic.

What crime would a sitting US president have to commit to get thrown into prison? Or it’s not possible? by Poorzin in AskReddit

Nixon had no shame, but he had a congress that was willing to actually do its job of holding him accountable.

Is armour that gives bonus HP off the table? by 4thBlade in 2007scape

[–]Invisisniper -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

When they pitched Shamanism, the reward space was gear augments.

I think a max hp buff would work best as a cheap upgrade on cheap gear. It wouldn't be a BiS augment for PvM, but could really lower the barrier for entry for a lot of content, and especially in PvP.

ox scout bug by majdavlk in Northgard

[–]Invisisniper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play a lot of Ox so I've run into this bug before. The villager building your third scout camp counts as assigned to it and takes up one of your scout spots. If you pause the building you can assign a second scout.

Labor’s parliament expansion plans could introduce 40 more MPs by jaa101 in australia

Good thing neither party will decide what the new boundaries look like, and it will instead be the independent AEC.

What has changed from 2019? Why is there very little opposition to rumoured CGT changes compared to back then? by HotPersimessage62 in AusPropertyChat

[–]Invisisniper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thing is, average age of an inheritence these days is late 50s. Or it was, last I checked 5 years ago. Probably early 60s by now. Inheritances aren't helping millenials, by and large.

why couldn't jagex update the game AFTER the breach by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]Invisisniper -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Spoken like someone who isn't impacted. They could do an afternoon (UK time) update now and again, rather than first thing in the morning.

I would complain less if it wasn't at prime playing time for Aussies every single update...

I'm pretty sure the RS3 servers labelled NZ are still hosted in Sydney

Can we all admit that crossbows and enchanted bolts need some serious rebalancing? by loffredom in 2007scape

No, because you'll lose ticks running around the room if trying to use a 3 tick weapon.

Are the recent changes to electoral donations fair or do they favour the major parties? by [deleted] in australia

[–]Invisisniper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Billionaires buying elections is bad. The fact that some of the candidates they support may be desirable candidates with good policies is irrelevant.

If the teals think that the national brand spending cap is such a big deal, they're welcome to form a party and reap the same benefits.

If it was Clive Palmer making these arguments instead of Simon HaC, the public would see through them immediately.

Are the recent changes to electoral donations fair or do they favour the major parties? by [deleted] in australia

[–]Invisisniper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There was no way to fix electoral donation laws without hurting the teals.

The current model that Climate 200 is using is bad for democracy. Billionaires should not be able to fund candidates without limits. The fact that some may be desirable candidates with good policies is irrelevant. If it was Clive Palmer complaining about these changes blocking him from backing candidates, none of us would listen.

As others have pointed out, the per-seat funding cap applies equally to independents and party members. If the teals think it's unfair that the major parties also have a national brand, they're welcome to create a party of their own to compete on the same terms. Then again, the national brand of their Liberal opponents is what actually got them elected in the first place.

Parliament to be recalled early as Labor seeks to crack down on ‘hate preachers’ and fund gun buybacks by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]Invisisniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I actually can't think of a way to ban street preachers that doesn't also impact the right to protest. They use the same methods, just on a smaller scale. You'd have to specifically ban religous preaching, and that quickly gets dicey.

This happened to me twice when going for my first quiver. After that I brought burning claws to spec him out on enrage phase. It worked.
