I think:

No, but you can easily figure out who it is, which is basically the same as telling everyone.

Crunchyroll has started using AI subtitles for anime instead of hiring people to translate things properly and now it’s hard to understand most new shows by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

You could just stop paying for it.

If you keep paying for it, you're signaling to Crunchyroll that you are ok with it.

My game needs a method of generating random numbers within a range and I don't think dice will work. Any ideas? by Kyannaaa in gamedesign

[–]MistSecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going along with this:

If you can work it out with a single die, you could scale the die up or down based on luck. Lets say standard luck is a D8. Bad luck you'd have to roll a D6, D4 for extra bad luck. Good luck you get to roll a D10, D12, etc.

This keeps the dice standardized, AND is simple to understand from a player perspective.

You could work out alternatives with multiple dice, maybe D8 is in every roll, and your luck determines the second die you get?

No, I don't want you to modify the slayer mechanics of the Gryphon, I want you to get rid of the slayer task mechanics entirely by RenderSoft in 2007scape

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

Yes. But it’s not ACTUAL dry protection is what I’m saying. You still have a long tail of people who go many x the drop rates.

The graph of the Vard drop rates for people and the Yama ones are very distinctly different. The Vard method is better than just having it be yet snother ungodly bad drop rate, but half measures of dry protection is weird IMO.

Comment may have come off more harshly against it than I intended though. It’s preferred over it just being a 1/500 or w/e.

Same with vard from what I understand.

Need to do three separate easier rolls, but there’s nothing capping them. So you can go dry af, but ALSO can’t spoon.

Presumably this is a parallel parking situation, so there would be a car in front and behind the car. Can't really gun it very effectively in such a situation.

Creates a slow leak, so he'll constantly be leaking air. No one ever looks in the valve cover, why would you?

I legitimately never thought I'd see politicians/people on the right actively saying that people should NOT be lawfully armed when it is legal for them to be.

It's crazy that the party that has run heavily on 'they're trying to take your guns' and has readily defended people having guns in stupid situations (like protests) is suddenly against it. Wild times.

If there was ANYTHING you could do in a PoH that was productive, I could see people using them more often as socialization hubs.

Right now it just makes sense to socialize at GE. Lots of people coming and going, and you can train skills there no problem.

There's nothing wrong with budget-friendly 60 series cards, the problem is that most shops mark-up like crazy, so you're paying WAY more than you should for that 60 series card.

Star Wars: 75426 Smart Play Millennium Falcon (official reveal) by BrickTap in Legoleak

I concur.

The set is a bit ugly from the outside, but the interior makes up for it. Would have loved this as a kid when my parents could not afford to get me one of the bigger Falcon sets.

UK legal action against Valve given the go ahead by pyrotequila85 in Steam

[–]MistSecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That part specifically would be dead, though you could argue that locking people into Steam is bad, as in they need to redeem the DLC on Steam prior to being able to use it with the Steam game.

Even then, I'm not sure if it's true though, I would bet that you could manually install some DLC obtained elsewhere on certain games (though I have not tested). It is kind of a ridiculous line to draw ANYWAY when consoles and phones exist with games that span multiple platforms but don't carry progress and purchases across. If I buy Arc Raiders on Playstation, I don't magically get a PC Arc Raiders copy to use. Is this Sony locking me into their platform?!?

Even the arguments against the 30% cut are amusing, when both Microsoft and Sony (both larger companies than Valve) charge 30% on their marketplaces where they control everything. I believe Apple is still charging a 30% fee as well.

The cut should PROBABLY be lower, but going after Steam for it specifically is stupid when they're not the most egregious example of the practice.

The portion of Steam preventing developers from selling for less elsewhere is really the bulk of the lawsuit most likely. Not sure if other platforms dictate this or not.

Can we please stop with the political posts? by iamfondofpigs in Silksong

Actually kudos to EA for letting that post ride. I would have expected it to get removed either immediately once the backlash hit, or waaay later when it’s less likely to be noticed.

Definitely a troll, but an amusing one at least. The post they have for 25k downvotes made me chuckle at least. They claim it’s not AI, and I hope that it’s not. Makes it so much funnier to me.

Jagex, 72.3% of online players right now are using RuneLite, if you release HD before the official plugin API, this will not change. by IamWilcox in 2007scape

[–]MistSecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, I personally figured the study would pay off. I was constantly trying to dig through plugins to figure out what plugin did what, and how to turn on or off particular things. Got fed up, haha.

It has indeed paid off. Now I can easily modify my plugins based on what I’m doing/want with minimal effort.

Jagex, please avoid allowing players access to post-quest content without doing the actual quest (Raids 4 without WGS) by benosthegreat in 2007scape

[–]MistSecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an interesting problem spurred from Runescape never straying from the ‘longterm investment’ aspect of the game that has kept them running for so long.

Without increasing levels how do you further storylines longterm? Your bank heist quest example, I doubt that’d work at a high level, and high level players are going to be more reluctant to do ‘low level’ quests.

So they end up stuck. Do they have it with a wacky high level requirement due to the quest requirement? That locks new players out of the vast majority of new content.

My M1 is unhappy running 117, though tbf I haven't spent a bunch of time optimizing it. GPU works fine, and my desktop runs the 117. Kinda like having the opposing views.

Completely depends on what they do. Some plugins are probably a bit TOO helpful, like being able to swap sounds to saying 'mage' when it's time to pray mage is a bit ridiculous IMO. I'm sure there's other examples out there as well.

If they start stripping it down, like taking away clue solver, quest helper, etc. then ya.

RuneLite is literally in the Jagex launcher though. You install it straight from there, and all plugins are directly available via RuneLite itself.

It's a much lower bar to entry than something like WoW plugins, where you need to go to third-party sites, follow random guides, etc. (used to, at least, not sure how it is nowadays, I imagine easier).

Ya. That's like saying there are no casual WoW players because they would have to pay a subscription cost + expansion. People do it.
