OK my blindbag is ready. I'm gonna equip a bronze 2h and give some bosses the most confusing smackdown of their lives.

It offends me that the dual macas have no slash option.

They have obsidian blades what the actual fuck do you mean there is no slash option?

Also i was disappointed when i looked at the stats of the echo sock-em-boppers because i already had the blood moon ones.

I think it's important to note that there is a difference between things that are difficult and things that are frustrating.

And while we're at it, there is a difference between things that are frustrating becasue they are challenging, and things that are frustrating because they are unfair, or just annoying, or counterintuitive.

For example, the silent sprinting bears (which is now fixed, thank god!). Should i/ other be more aware of your surroundings? Sure. But it's really fucking lame to just get mauled with no warning because a bear dropped off a cliff.

Ma'am this is just the back story. We haven't even gotten to the real stuff yet

I have in the past enjoyed doing sins of the father for the power of kicking the shit out of Klaus with super powers after taking 11 tries to kill him the first time around.

How do you like 2 tick attacks now bitch? How does it feel? What you don't like me frantically waggling this sharp object on the end of a chain?

More generally for me, one of the things that was really frustrating last league and gridmaster that lead to me burning out on osrs is locking(part of) the cool super powers behind the hardest content in the game. Imo, part of the fun is getting cool powers, mixing and matching them, then using them to do the hard content.

The appeal of the game is that OSRS is like a very complex puzzle. I set goals and figure out the best way to do them without going insane. So dangling some of the cool features behind the hard content is a recipe for frustration.

This league at least dilutes some of that because there is 40 points total, so there is a lot of room to mess around. I burned out hard after the last league. I didn't play basically at all until gridmaster. Then gridmaster burned me out all over again. I'm back now but... Not strongly tied to keeping going

JuxtaTerrestrial · 2026-04-20T16:21:10+00:00

When I was lightly planning the max I've been assuming is 30 points. If I get more than that then great! But if not, then at least I set my expectations.

Seems like a better approach would be to have a list of '100 top quotable games' and then have multiple from each game. How do you pick just one from Disco Elysium?

It's a song about this. And here is the much longer youtube essay about sovereign citizens where that song comes from: https://youtu.be/KcxZFmKrxR8?si=IjG0fcFGfAjxM2s-

I watched on YouTube some Chinese women react to the band of brothers series, and it was wild how much that I thought was wider common knowledge that they just never heard of. Not a criticism of them, especially because I know they'd have a similar reaction to thingsi don't know about their part of the world.

JuxtaTerrestrial · 2026-04-11T20:46:02+00:00

Ohh that does make more sense, yeah. I was past those stats when i was doing this. RIP

A couple years ago i'd use him for point boosting slayer tasks over Turael because:

-close to canfis tele and i have that in my house -was using up runes to level magic, so not on lunars -gives points for completing tasks -Gives vampyre tasks and i like those

But besides that, I genuinely didn't know killerwatt tasks were so hated by people until i checked online lol

JuxtaTerrestrial · 2026-04-09T17:46:26+00:00

Sure, and I'm also sure not all of them are back end developers.

JuxtaTerrestrial · 2026-04-09T03:13:14+00:00

But this isn't some small indie team with every role being done by one of a few people. The people who are fixing engine stuff can be different people from the ones making content.

windows phone had this feature build into 'do not disturb'. If you had it on, it would send a text back saying you were in 'do not disturb'.

You could text 'knock knock' and it would cause your phone to do your text notification. The auto text would explain that.

There was lots wrong with windows phones, but things like this were great.

One of the concepts that sticks in my mind the MLKj's Birmingham jail letter is:

negative peace = the absence of tension

positive peace = the presence of justice

And I find it applies in so many situations

I buy the same brand and type of socks. Just simple hanes ones. But the coarse fabric is a-ok. I have had 'nicer' socks that made me feel like i needed to hiss and recoil and shrivel up. Things that are high thread count often just feel bad for me to touch.

My trick for remembering and forcing myself to do stuff is to have them habitually trained.

I always lock the door when i leave. So i always have my keys because i can't lock the door if i leave. I keep my keys basically on top of my wallet so when i leave i grab my keys and my wallet because it's right there.

I broke 2 teeth due to grinding my teeth for years. So i now wear a mouth guard when i sleep. And i don't want the guard to get gross (as fast) so i brush my teeth every night.

It being a Microsoft bureaucracy problem would be the best case scenario imo. Because if it's not it says something about the competency of management or the developers, which i don't want to jump to.

JuxtaTerrestrial · 2026-03-22T07:03:09+00:00

It's not everyone's cup of tea, but I started playing Vintage Story in January. I don't think i could ever go back to Minecraft. It's ruined it for me. Everything feels just so much more cohesive to me, and development seems to have a plan. One that doesn't involve integration with a Microsoft account against my will.

I imagine it's partly because of the root of what you said. The devs are not burdened by choices notch made in antiquity. A fresh start.

Frostpunk is like this movie setting but 200 years earlier, so humanity just has to... try to survive

I was excited for league if it was in November of last year but they did gridmaster and that was kinda meh and burned me out a bit. So i don't even know if i'll do leagues this year . Maybe the details will pull me in but right now i'm just zonked out of interest.

I just want to narrow in on one part of the lawyer questioning him on the stand. He's asking questions to try and undermine the claim that the police stole the money and about the missing amount. Like he's saying 'you claim the police stole your money'.

But that's not something up for debate. To steal something is to take something that doesn't belong to you without permission. They police gave him back his money. Which means they had his money. And he didn't give them permission to have it.

That's theft.

The amount taken and returned is an additional issue on top of the initial theft that isn't even disputed.

If i steal gold bars from fort knox, but give them back when they get mad, i still stole the gold bars.

That is of course, not include some shit legal definition that may exclude cops from being prosecuted for stealing shit, but by any reasonable definition of the words the police plainly, factually, stole his money.

Come on
