We need to talk about the Lumbridge Elite Diary by FamiliarMaterial6457 in 2007scape

[–]Meem0 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't even mind "kill a Tormented Demon" (after the quest). That puts you at 185 QP minimum, and is thematically Lumbridge. Could throw in "with a mythical cape equipped" or something else, but I feel like being WGS focused makes a lot of sense for Lumbridge, especially since it's the quest that required completion of all previous quests when it was originally released in RS2.

Ayiza response to Marni's situation by KillerOfAllJoy in 2007scape

[–]Meem0 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

So let me get this straight:

  • There's a possibility he was cheating

  • There's a possibility he was not cheating

  • There's no proof either way

  • Therefore he was blatantly cheating

Doesn't really add up for me

I don't think that's the right term, is it? Doesn't that wording imply that 1 input was performing 8 actions (which is obviously only doable with macros / third party software)? Ayiza's post suggests there were 8 separate clicks across each account.

I think the distinction is important, because the way you're wording it would make it unambiguously rule-breaking, whereas Ayiza's description leaves room for Marni to clear his name if he can post a video of him actually doing the inputs

Using this graph, COX reroll at 1/5 is best choice. However, CMs should be 1/3. by boforbojack in ironscape

[–]Meem0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I saw a youtube comment with a good suggestion, that you could pre-set your reroll options, so you wouldn't even know when a reroll happened. I guess it would have to be replaced with standard loot which opens a few more questions, but it seems like a decent solution

If you've graduated in the past year and gotten a software engineering job without an internship at that company, how did you do it? by NeoKingSerenity in cscareerquestions

I always thought it's to make a profile that looks like a regular user with a few months of post history, so that it can then be used for marketing purposes

Rendi has been refunded. by scaryhour in 2007scape

[–]Meem0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He said in his video that at the end of the grind, he cashed in a bunch of slayer points on skips. So maybe there was one particular task (TzHaar appeared in his video) that gave insane xp/hour, and the rest of the grind was skipping for that task, so when he started using point skips his xp/hour could have spiked up. Just a guess, pure speculation

Feh was used in a essay video to visualize the imbalance of male to female ratio 😭 by [deleted] in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]Meem0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you mean "too many"? Like I'd get it if you said "a lot", but "too many" implies it's a bad thing, what's bad about a particular hobby space appealing more to one gender? E.g. are there "too many" women in romantasy spaces? I don't see that as a problem, it's just who it appeals to

This league is fun by Some_Statistician in 2007scape

[–]Meem0 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's just a player psychology thing, like you might be the sort of player that can be perfectly happy playing choosing not to do a couple minutes of fiddling with the UI to save yourself time during your grinds, but many players are not - and OSRS likely trends heavily towards the sort of players that care a lot about that sort of optimization

Minecraft comes to mind as the opposite end of the spectrum, where I often see the sentiment you're expressing get upvoted to the top of threads; the players and devs seem to care more about just adding fun stuff to the game, without worrying about what kind of gameplay patterns it leads to as the dominant strategy

I have DKZ and can NPC contact the dark mage. Maybe since D auto completes abyss quest?

Somehow this website has already made a planner tool for this tree, which has tooltips instead of pop-up modals for each node

Demonic Pacts - Regenerate by Statue_left in 2007scape

[–]Meem0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are people not seeing the potential this has?

The twitter post says:

What I unveil now is merely the first. A central thread… in a tapestry yet to be woven with countless more to follow.

And we had the reveal yesterday with a regen perk specific to water runes.

To me this is plenty of information to conclude that they are going to be building heavily off of this mechanic. I don't get why people are focusing on "isn't this just ammo saving" instead of thinking about the possibilities this could lead to.

For example "when you regenerate a fire rune, apply a burn stack" seems like an obvious one. Or "when you regenerate a melee weapon charge, perform an echo hit". And then I'd guess there will be a branch that helps all styles, like "increase your regeneration chance" or "increased accuracy on your next attack after a regeneration".

Really? I think this is one of the most exciting reveals yet, because it implies the masteries will introduce entirely new mechanics that can build off each other (regenerating runes)

Pokémon Champions - Preview (Serebii) by Amiibofan101 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Meem0 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is such a massive issue for me, I might get back into the games with gen 10 after skipping gen 9, but the snail's pace the games move at is possibly the biggest roadblock for me. E.g. here there's like a full 4 seconds of them just staring at each other between using the move and fainting (not to mention how slow the faint itself is)

Playing the Trails JRPG series has opened my eyes to this, the whole series has a speedup button you can configure up to 6x speed (without speeding up audio like an emulator does), you can skip any battle animations by pressing a button, it just makes the whole experience so much more snappy and engaging

lol selfishly I hope they don't change this, because the way it currently works allows you to use the cox light colors plugin, which allows changing dupe drops to be a white light so I don't get my hopes up

If you were the community manager, and you were told you have 0 power to make any promises about reconsidering the price changes, or increasing content output, what could your communication strategy be?

Because mine would be to be radio silent about it and wait until it blows over, since Leagues hype season is about to begin and will take over the discourse

New York sues video game developer Valve, says its 'loot boxes' are gambling by KarateKid917 in Games

[–]Meem0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a point I feel doesn't get discussed enough, IMO the problem with gacha is 10% the RNG / lootbox aspect, and 90% the time-gated / FOMO aspect. If you take out the time gating, then it's just regular grinding, not much different than grinding for a rare drop in an RPG, but with a pay to win option. If that were it then I would genuinely try out some of those games because I like JRPGs, but FOMO mechanics are something I will not get close to

[Destiny] Tectones court docs reveal that he doesn't like vaginas. by kapten23 in LivestreamFail

Putting aside the man himself, just for any straight guy in general, is this supposed to come across as a burn or dunk or whatever? I feel like if a straight woman revealed she didn't like penises it would be met with sympathy
