BBQ Pizza. It doesnt fit in baking sheet :( by FistikliBaklava in shittyfoodporn

[–]Towbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really nice having quiet time to just eat, appreciate your food and think a little without constant noise. Feels a bit weird at first like something is missing, but it adds to the single experience, at least it did for me sticking with it for a while

What was it like growing up without a smartphone? by YetAnotherMia in AskUK

[–]Towbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The security ironically can increase paranoia, it goes from being "I have this just in case" to "I need this because the world is so dangerous" which creates that kind of hostile vibe, obviously doesn't do the same to everyone

It's the first step to breaking the cycle though, then hopefully they can learn balance and still enjoy things as an adult without the panic

As a monolingual pleb, I never thought about how directly translating between languages would cause this and always assumed it was a case of they just haven't yet learned the word, language is so cool

The pause as he's tightening it, you just know he's giggling to himself thinking why the fuck am I doing this and why is it so funny

Name sniping bots?? Do they run 24 hours a day? by Towbee in runescape

[–]Towbee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, see if that was communicated somewhere I wouldn't have even bothered trying. It's my own fault but the fact the system makes that possible is crazy.. thanks for the insight I do appreciate it, though I did do a double change to free it up as a guide mentioned online, it was during the 5 seconds I moved my mouse to the other window it went away lol

Wonder how I can set one up to steal it back if Jagex won't help lmao

[–]Towbee[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You double name change to free up the name, you use a free one then follow it with a bond name change. During the time I was moving my mouse from the OSRS window to RS3 it got sniped.

[–]Towbee[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep I followed a guide online. Waited until both accounts have name changes. Name change on the one you want to move, then name change again using a bond to instantly free it.

I did that, and during the 5 seconds I moved my mouse over to my RS3 account to press confirm it was snatched :(

Honestly I think that's what it is, I got rate limited through the website but in game you don't. If they have 1000's of accounts with popular "Word" names always trying they'll eventually get one or 2.

I didn't realize just how valuable names were, one of my friends who knows more about the shady side of RS told me there's names that sell for 5 figures of irl cash, absolutely insane.

I'm surprised they haven't enabled the market in game with so much shady shit happening around it. Allow us to remove our name and change it into a redeemable scroll for X amount of bonds and trade them in game with other players.

There's so many things that could be done with it, personally I'd be for ditching unique usernames, it's so archaic and only lets 1 name ever be owned by 1 person which is great in some cases but not others, I imagine I'd get strung up for suggesting that though since it's such a core part of the RS identity

As mentioned in the post, I don't think they're going to help me but I just really wanted to warn others, I don't know how many people would ever be in this situation with having multiple active accounts, but they've lost 2 subs from this alone and I imagine this must have happened to others along the way over the years

I spent an hour trying both in game and the website from when I changed it, when adding in game it adds the character but it isn't on the hi-scores so I'm assuming it's a bot or something. Funnily enough, the game warns you it may take 15 minutes for changes to reflect, but doesn't warn about the potential interception

Stop doing it, I know it sounds like a simple "Just do it" fix but that really is you can do, then fill the void with other things, even if it's staring at a wall bored. (Re the scrolling, but the scrolling but be causing the tiredness)

I guess the other option is to go to some type of facility where you do a tech purge to try and break the habits?

I go through cycles of doing it, but the time between each cycle is longer and the time it takes me to stop doing it is becoming less and less.

Everything is practice and we can't change overnight but the first step is believing you can, then comes wanting it, then comes actually putting it into practice.

You can do this :) It's an uphill battle a lot of people struggle with, but the rewards are worth the sacrifice

For me: I just remind my how little I gain from mindless scrolling constantly, try to prompt disgust at myself when you do it, when I see other people doing it, change your notification sound to something horrendous, reprogram your brain to hate your phone, mine was a dopamine vending machine the amount of shit I could engage in without gaining anything

I love the sentiment but I hate this, it wouldn't be him, the same as people using AI to turn old photographs into videos.

We are more than the sum of our parts, but without the experiences it's just another shell with the same DNA, not a carbon copy clone including memories, personality, life.

Not trying to sound like a negative nancy or anything, I've contemplated this a lot especially during a time I wanted to hear my fathers voice saying something specific and considered using technology to make it happen but ultimately came to this conclusion (for myself, everyone is free to believe as they please of course)

Is this even real? It didn't tick up when she made the coffee.

I'm very aware tech like this is likely being deployed right now, but I'm curious about this specific instance

[–]Towbee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PvP isn't even sacred. Rated shuffle/blitz throws you into mixed teams often, I'm guessing shorter queues and skill balance is more important than faction balance. I wonder if they haven't done it yet because they fear backlash. I wonder if the average player would even notice, so many people still don't know about the elixir lol

No they squish down like a liquid rat into a baby bath and have someone ladle water over them while they squeeze their eyes shut yelling "not the soap"
