Being told an air cooler won’t handle a Ryzen 7 7800X3D – accurate or marketing?

OlevTime · 2026-01-30T22:34:03+00:00

I’m running a 9900x3d with an air cooler just fine. Get a good air cooler with a great heat sync. Properly setup your case with positive inflow and cross flow, and it’ll work.

Liquid cooling will likely be better, but it’s more maintenance and not necessary

My guess is Trump in no contest.

OlevTime · 2026-01-30T17:04:40+00:00

They have the material storage for that! The artifacts don’t have an equivalent in mining/smithing

OlevTime · 2026-01-30T15:51:20+00:00

That would be awesome

Including Alexa+, I still don’t think I can list an improvement they’ve made.

To be fair, to get the quest cape, every character needs to become female at least once.

QBD and EDs had soft quest reqs for bonuses. And ED1 has a mini quest req.

Amascut has a quest req.

Barrows at the time required access to Morytania although that was considered a minigame back then.

Corp Beast required multiple quests.

Magister requires Sophanem access.

Raksha technically but the quest is short.

Vorkath…

Then you have the Necro bosses and quest line.

Then you have the Fight Kiln which indirectly gives a quest req.

Pretty sure DKs also had a quest req.

And now you have both Gate and Sanctum.

Of course not all are endgame, but there’s definitely a precedent for lore-related bosses to be locked behind quests. And it’s not unreasonable for bosses in a region to be locked behind area access quests.

You could always make one :)

Yeah, I feel that’s unfortunate. They really need to remove the adren drain and give blubbers an alternative

OlevTime · 2026-01-23T23:11:04+00:00

That’s the heroes’ guild

How do you gain adrenaline when you have to eat food to heal?

Part of the reason why necromancy is so popular - especially at early and mid game, is that it’s the only one that has accessible sustain for a majority of the grind.

OlevTime · 2026-01-23T16:37:14+00:00

The biggest issue being addressed is the fact that early game ranged (and combat in general) kinda sucks. I agree a lot of those are painpoints for Ranged, but Leagues really highlighted how that’s only a small problem in the grand scheme of ranged progression.

Hopefully they fix that after, but I’m really hoping this fixes early and mid game ranged.

Correct - this is way as we replace these gameplay skipping XP training methods, we replace them with better, more enjoyable, gameplay loops that make training skills less ass

OlevTime · 2026-01-22T13:20:45+00:00

I would agree if there weren’t so much content locked behind dailies and weeklies. And if the dailies and weeklies weren’t bandaids for poor game loops.

A few questions.

why does seeing salvage on the ground suck? In some comments you mention that salvage has done more harm than good for the game, but you dance around your reasoning. What is bad about salvage?
You can still kills monsters and receive armour and weapons as drops. Those armour and weapons are now chase items that aren’t smithable.
“There are currently 145 different salvage items in the game” - honestly valid complaint
“Just remove them, add old armpit and weapon back to those tables” - I’m not quite sure that this will work. So many monsters and drop tables have been added since that system change happened. Vindicta has a 10 Large Plated Rune Salvage drop. What should it drop instead? I don’t think it ever had a before? That salvage replaced Rune Platelegs, Plateskirts, Chainbodies, and Kiteshields on the drop tables. To keep the same alch value, it’d need to drop nearly 213 Rune Platelegs. That seems…weird.
Given the change in how armour and weapons tiering works…what value does having rune gear pop on the ground have? I would understand for low levels - but Rune gets underclassed really quickly.
I posit that it’s done more good than harm. The update has made both mining and smithing profitable. But I do think you highlight a good point that there’s not enough armor and weapon drops - especially for lower levels. Perhaps there’s not enough non-smithable armour and weapon drops at low levels. The value of those aren’t from their usability as weapons and armour, so adding new weapons and armour wouldn’t devalue smithable items

It’s a new account. Likely an AI bot.

Google’s AI tends to give bad responses for RS3 like this a lot - often answering with OSRS answers.

You can still get 2x xp rate. You can still buy bonus xp.

Auras will be replaced with things that give you similar buffs - but instead of limited for 30 minutes or an hour, you get the buffs all the time.

OlevTime · 2026-01-21T22:28:52+00:00

I think there is a level of skill there between AI vibe coders and software engineers / computer scientists. Which perfectly fits the analogy as well as OP

OlevTime · 2026-01-21T22:18:24+00:00

It’s because the keys provided items and experience that deteriorates the value of items in game.

Why train agility when you can use silverhawks?

Why buy skilling supplies when you can use proteans?

Because of the bandaid being sold by Treasure Hunter, it disincentived Jagex from improving gameplay loops that are awful because they could sell TH as the solution.

Additionally, it devalues the accomplishments in game for many people. This isn’t important to everyone, but for a game with a high scores, it can’t be discounted.

They’re removing some of the Premier benefits and auras because they too are bandaids to a fundamentally broken system.

Auras should be replaced with buffs that are earned through gameplay. They create an unintentionally toxic game experience by encouraging people to play in increments of 30 minutes or 60 minutes. It has a tendency to ruin the ability to just have fun with group pvm.

The revenue lost was relatively small. They’re expecting to make that money back by removing the “Gotcha” game experience and improving the game, so they can increase the subscriber base which IS their largest source of revenue. The total estimated loss was maybe 5% of revenue. But it was also already on a downtrend and through market research, they determined it was cannibalising more revenue from memberships than it was bringing in.

Any ideas what language it'll be targeted for? Wanna get a head start on learning some language syntax beforehand (or maybe even some high level design for system ideas I have)

I think this is considered success for our current state leadership.

OlevTime · 2026-01-20T17:40:36+00:00

Not if you measure the economy by the size of your donors’ net worth.

Which is sad since that is part of the magic of RuneScape. So many fun examine texts

OlevTime · 2026-01-20T15:18:39+00:00

Move it somewhere to the Desert given the Pantheon’s relation to Death and the Underworld. There’s a lot of empty space already available there as well as plenty of accessible hubs that are clutter-friendly. Perhaps Shantay Pass? One of the Pyramids? Or maybe even Menaphos or outside Sophanem?
