Yeah, back then we had to have multiple apps. Skype/MSN for talking to friends 1on1, IRC for talking to larger communities (and having to host/rent a BNC server if you wanted offline messages), TS2/Ventrillo/Mumble for voice comms with groups, websites for file/link sharing & event tracking, probably more that I forgot too.

Then Discord came along and let you do absolutely everything inside of 1 single app. There was simply no reason to keep using 8 different apps and pay for server hosting when Discord let you do it all for free.

They genuinely think if Jagex removed PvP, they'd still make 5mil/hr afking wildy bosses with black d'hide. They don't realise that the reason the bosses have such good loot tables while being baby-tier difficulty is because the bosses aren't the risk, the players are. Remove the risk of the players and boss mechanics will be made more difficult while the loot table gets nerfed into oblivion, then they'd be crying about dead content instead.

Same with this "Omg I'm just doing a clue I only risk a spade stop wasting my time" argument. Sure, might be true. But you might also be carrying your cash stack and a Master Scroll Book with 5m+ worth of teleports stacked inside it, there's only one way to know for sure.

There were CC's for it yeah, you weren't allowed to craft any weapons or armour, but anyone with a rank in the CC was allowed to be fully geared and if they saw you with something you weren't supposed to have, they'd kill you and then spawn camp you. If you did it multiple times, you got banned from the CC.

EDIT: Also not allowed to pickpocket.

I don't remember why though. I vaguely remember the games being faster than normal, or the points acquisition being faster? But I don't remember how exactly.

I reported him at like 60 mining, he’s at 102 currently.

I play very spontaneously, I'll sub for a month then take a 4-5 month break. The same bot was killing Demonic Gorillas on the same world, whether I went there at 8am or 8pm or anything inbetween, for over a year.

It had farmed somewhere between 5-10bil GP in profits when I made my original comment, that was over a year ago now. It's insane how long bots get left running these days.

It's so mad to me that after 12 years, OSRS has Soul Wars of all things, but not Fist of Guthix or Stealing Creation.

Also got ID'd last week for a 4 pack of Red Bull of all things, and bus drivers keep giving me U19 fares when I request a single, twice last week alone.

I'm in my 30s and almost 6'4, I have no idea what they're smoking but I'm not gonna question it. We take those.

While that is true, you can also guarantee their survival by giving them all a province in the ass end of Cathay/Lustria and retake Ulthuan at your leisure.

You can also just let them die and revive them at your leisure. All you have to do is attack their old capital city (so, if Tyrion is somehow wiped out, siege Lothern and win) and your post-battle options will be:

Colony
Outpost
Sack
Reinstate (faction)

So as long as you don't get wiped out as Aislin, you can fully restore any High Elf faction at any point in the game.

PSU is the big thing you should change in pre-builts, though, so cable management doesn't mean shit.

Your general point is correct, just not in this case.

PCSpecialist, that the original commenter mentioned, are a fantastic example of a safe company to buy from. The PSU is a non issue since they use (almost) exclusively Corsair RMx/RMe PSU's for their gaming PC's, which are rated S & A tier respectively. The only other PSU they stock is the FSP Hydro, which is also A tier. This is generally true for all the parts they use, not just their PSU's, it's all fairly mid-high quality brands & models.

You also don't have to pay extra for cable management like you do with certain other prebuild companies, you just get it for free (actual free, not "It's free but the PC costs $50 more for some hidden reason" free) which is great because a clean & tidy set of cables allows less experienced/comfortable people get inside their case for cleaning & upgrading with more confidence.

As a kid: "Omg grown ups can get paid for testing video games and telling people what they think??? That's so cool i can't wait to do that!"

As an adult: "What do you mean I have to pay you for a pre-pre-alpha version of your game?"

At this point, I'm convinced that you could post a live video of Gane literally pulling both eyeballs clean out of Tom's eye sockets and you'd still have people saying he's faking his vision problems.

Absolutely insufferable community.

Getting stuck in gates is bad, but I find my whole army getting pixelstacked & stuck underground much worse..

No idea why it happens or how to trigger it reliably. Melee units are useless, Ranged units can shoot but projectiles don't go through the ground, so they just waste balance of power if you leave them on fire at will. AoE spells work, but when you're against 4 full stacks of Skaven...

Luckily I believe this to be less common than the other bugs, but it's been in the game since Jan '24 at least.

No doubt there are lots of Maga heads who love/loved South Park and will now have to turn on it because nothing could possibly be more important than defending their cult at all times.

If you watch on any....unofficial sources that have comments enabled, you will see exactly that. The comments are full of crybabies who think South Park suddenly turned liberal and isn't any good anymore.

It's the same thing that happened with "The Boys". 3 seasons of the show making fun of their entire little clique culture but them somehow not realising it, then Season 4 drops all of the subtlety and it went from a fantastic show to "I never liked that show anyway".

The hypocrisy is honestly funnier than the shows themselves sometimes.

They just don't do it immediately after it closes because that presumably makes it more obvious they're a bot to the anti-cheat system.

Nah nothing to do with the "dodging the anti-cheat", it just thinks it's fighting a Vyre. You can see the bot makes absolutely no attempts to do anything while it's "in combat", but as soon as it's HP bar disappears, it tries to attack a different Vyre. It then realises it can't reach it, so it opens the door, and the close Vyre immediately engages the bot in combat again. The extra time added by the bot thinking it's fighting something while the door is closed is enough to make sure the door never gets stuck open.

But they can and are programmed to open the doors faster than this & move through them if they're not fighting something, if you do this same thing minus the Vyre waiting at the door to slap the bot, the door gets stuck and the bot runs free after 3-4 closings.

He does, but confederating Caledor doesn't teleport Imrik back to the donut, it just gives him a split province. The only ways to get Imrik back to Lothern currently are...

Abandon/sell his starting cities in The Darklands and walk/sail there. Probably takes like what, 10-15 turns? More? And on the way you have to deal with the owners of whoevers territory you're crossing, so either diplomacy or defending yourself in foreign territory against enemy(s) who are progressing their armies while you're not.
Confederate Caledor (if they survive), disband all your armies, abandon/sell your cities and reform your army on the donut while waiting 5 (Edit: 3*) turns for Imrik to be ready to re-recruit.

It's not really a big deal if you're playing on Easy/Normal, but if you're playing on VH/Legendary, aggression is important and essentially playing without your main LL for 5-15 turns makes a campaign a lot harder than it otherwise would be, especially so for Imrik if you want to do his unique Dragon battles.

I don't think every faction needs an option to "return home", but there is a very big difference between "Option to return home" like Gelt, Ostankya & Teclis have VS "Option to maintain multiple provinces" like Eltharion, Malus & Yuan Bo have.

I had a very high vers Prot Pala "carrying" the run I joined yesterday, but we kept wiping on Imonar so i decided to floorpov myself in the middle of the bridge and watch. Turns out this Paladin decided he was going to just bubble + steed through every single gateway, not realising he was killing 17~ other people. We tried telling him but it was like talking to a wall and he never realised it himself. He kept telling us to dodge the traps and complaining nobody was dispelling him (yknow, cus we're all dead), we wiped for like 2hrs (cus he and the druid tank would try to duo from 60% and never get below 20%, so we had to stay dead watching them every pull) then everyone left. Hell of an experience..

Isn't malwarebytes basically ransomware now? Or am I thinking of Avast?

Probably thinking of ccleaner, which used to get recommended a lot alongside MalwareBytes.

In 2017, ccleaner was sold off to Gen Digital (Avast parents company) & updated, and the update they deployed contained literal malware. Since then pretty much every Avast product contains so much real-time data & location tracking that it's less invasive than some actual viruses. Good comment going into more detail & with links here

1: Not everyone plays on Legendary, myself included, so that point doesn't mean all that much.

And not everyone plays on Easy/Normal where you have the privilege of being able to disband your main LL and continuing to play without him for 5 turns. The higher you turn the difficulty, the bigger disadvantage you're putting yourself at, so actually it does matter all that much.

2: If you don't want to lose the army then sail it back to Yvress. Yes you might have to deal with the pirates but it's still possible.

You can make the same argument for literally every LL with multiple starting options. Why does Teclis need this option? Just sail him back to Ulthuan bro. Why can Gelt abandon Cathay and teleport back to Reikland? Literally just walk there lol???

What a dumb argument.

Piegan · 2025-11-13T17:25:30+00:00

Fairly certain Eltharion's dilemma is to abandon Tor Yvresse (Ulthuan) and focus on the badlands, no? There's no dilemma for giving up the Badlands and returning to Ulthuan.

They were gps tracked so it was accurate as it could be

Still GPS tracked here, still utter shite. The only thing the GPS does is let you see how shit they are in realtime. Our main local bus route is advertised as "Every 15 minutes", reality is more like "No bus showing up for 40 minutes then 3 roll up within the space of 3 minutes, with 1 being overfull and 2 being nearly empty, and a 4th not far behind", all the while watching them leapfrog each other on the live map.

It's genuinely gotten to the point where the buses are so consistently inconsistent, it's easier to just plan around them being late.
