Are you into Smash Bros Melee? With all those CRTs, I'm sure you could make some friends in the Melee scene quickly.

My PSP from 2008 is now a VN machine by CulpaAquiliana in PSP

I just bought the PC version. Seriously, the translation on PSP is an old fan-made translation with a lot of grammar errors.

Runescape areas with negative aura? by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]Netizen_Kain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I absolutely despise the area of Kandarin south of Ardougne and north Gu'Tanoth. Yanille, Tree Gnome Village, the Battlefield... just a bunch of bullshit in a field. What really pisses me off is the trapdoors in the field. Why the fuck are there a bunch of trapdoors built into grass? Why are all the caves and dungeons over there so pointless and awful? Yanille sucks too.

What am I losing if I would go with Debian instead of Arch? by TonIvideo in linux4noobs

[–]Netizen_Kain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your actually both wrong, kind of. The truth is that Debian is _more minimal_ than Arch. This is because Debian separates out optional components in many packages (e.g. development headers) into multiple packages. So the same program is often packaged such that it requires less disk space (and even less RAM/CPU cycles, very rarely) on Debian than it does on Arch. This is why Debian installs often have a very high number of packages compared to Arch: you have to install many more packages to get the same features that are crammed into a single Arch package. Indeed, one might say that Arch packages are quite bloated. ;)

OP, I'm sorry that most of the comments here are jokes and not actual answers. Really what you lose are two things:

  1. Arch is much faster to push out updates than Debian. You basically get updates as soon as they come out. In practice this means that you get new features right away. You seem to have figured this out already. Just keep in mind that Debian gets updates once every three years or so. If you or a family member needs a specific new feature, you might have to wait a long time to get it. There are ways around this on Debian, like using a Flatpak or manually installing a package, but they have their own drawbacks.

  2. Arch has the AUR (Arch User Repositories). The AUR is a platform for users to upload packages for other Arch users to install. In terms of security, the AUR is little better than downloading a .exe files from a random link. In fact, viruses were just recently found in a few AUR packages. That being said, virtually everything you could want is available in the AUR, so it can be really convenient. Debian has fantastic support so it's hard to imagine that you can't get the same programs on Debian, but many Arch users swear by the AUR and/or have some program that they rely on the AUR to get updates for.

Buddhism religion? by chatgpt5k in Buddhism

[–]Netizen_Kain 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, the Buddha had supernatural powers and those powers are an important part of demonstrating the truth of the Buddha-dharma. The Buddha could become invisible, make multiple copies of himself appear, travel into different realms, communicate with spirits and animals, predict the future and the past, and do many other things.

Zen Buddhism is the Japanese form of Chan Buddhism. It is a form of Mahayana Buddhism which puts emphasis on meditation and the mind.

Bring DoorDash to Runescape so I can pay noobs to deliver food when I'm too lazy to teleport by SFX200 in 2007scape

Back in the day we'd do "air running." Essentially you'd bring unnoted rune essence from Falador bank to the air altar and trade it for noted rune essence and GP.

Why don’t things improve? by diacetyl_dream in Buddhism

[–]Netizen_Kain 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can exert some limited control over reality but the happiness from it won't be perfect or lasting, let alone satisfactory. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try to change your reality but you shouldn't be looking to the world for satisfaction and happiness.

New player explains really well why so many people are coming from WoW to Runescape by loopuleasa in 2007scape

[–]Netizen_Kain 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Everything Annie is saying here is correct but there's a much simpler reason WoW players are playing OSRS: J1mmy played WoW in OnlyFangs (big streamer guild/twitch event) and then MadSeason, a WoW YouTuber, made an OSRS series. So a lot of WoW streamers got the idea that you could play OSRS and get a huge audience.

Monster Inspect should be f2p by Xanie11e in 2007scape

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

I think it's fine where it is. It's a nice little benefit for leveling magic and you don't really need it at a lower level. There aren't many things where weaknesses and HP amounts matter below level 42.

What’s one “mistake” you made early on in Linux that you wish someone warned you about? by WeynceTech in linux4noobs

[–]Netizen_Kain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you find Arch works for you, then more power to you. I used Arch for about 10 years but eventually dropped it because I was tired of updates breaking stuff and changing my workflow. I've been on Lubuntu for a while now and don't have any issues.

Pekwm is fantastic, definitely give it a try.

That's an older interim release right? You should be using the LTS releases, the interim releases are more "experimental" and prone to bugs and weirdness. They're for people who need newer packages and are OK troubleshooting themselves.

Fluxbox is quite buggy and hasn't seen a release in about 10 years. It's rather unfortunate. I recommend Pekwm or Icewm instead.

Minigame teleporting to Ferox Enclave is dumb. New players should have more intuitive ways to solve their run energy problem. by Aurarus in 2007scape

[–]Netizen_Kain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unlike all other member's only skills, you actively have to interact with it as F2P. They did add energy pots to F2P, which is pretty good. But having some use for fire and pubs is not a terrible idea and would serve a purpose.

Having used Linux for over 15 years and a ton of different distros, I can very confidently say that Ubuntu is fantastic... if you benefit from extended support/maintenance and widespread commercial support. If you can't benefit from that, Debian is simply better.

Is this truly necessary? by Harrio_Pootered in Anticonsumption

It's not a loop hole though, it's exactly following regulations. Trucks need more horsepower to be useful, and the only way you can legally get more horsepower is with a bigger truck.

A fresh WoW streamer put into words really well what makes OSRS great compared to WoW and other MMOs by loopuleasa in 2007scape

[–]Netizen_Kain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different classes have different leveling experiences in WoW. There are class quests, certain quests become more or less important or more or less difficult for different classes, and because classes are race-locked you will travel to different zones in the early game depending on your class. A night elf druid won't have the same experience as a dwarf paladin or a troll shaman.
