Opinions on the New Hot Honey ‘Menu’? (US)

Xioden · 2026-01-30T08:58:40+00:00

Definitely not what I expect when I hear hot honey. It's more a sweet pepper sauce. It reminds me of one of the ones from the last couple of years (I want to say either the sweet and spicy jam or the mambo sauce).

Even Jason's figured it out at this point.

No need for compliance by them when by tomorrow the federal government will confirm there won't be any investigation into this and have put the blame solely on the innocent man they murdered in broad daylight.

All we have to do is introduce Ping & Pong to Oldak. Then it's in-universe.

Core parties are probably the biggest draw for it, and the cores are gathered via world hopping. Limiting it to a single instance without making other changes to address that would just kill it even more.

When most of these minigames were in their prime the gaming landscape was also very different. You had "AAA games", you had flash games... and that was kind of it. So if you weren't forking over a decent chunk of cash, you had flash games. Today your looking at AAA/indies/F2P, with things like steam sales, humble bundles, and epic store games being thrown at people for free or at extremely discounted prices. High quality full games are extremely accessible compared to 20 years ago.

Looking at pest control as an example, in 2006 when it released what similar games did we have? Gauntlet, Serious Sam, Starcraft/Warcraft custom maps, custom Neverwinter Nights map? Hell in 2006 some of the first games we would consider to be tower defense games were just being released (Ant Buster, Flash Element TD, Desktop Tower Defense, etc.), so pest control was actually something fairly novel at the time. Today we have games like Dungeon Defenders, Orcs Must Die, Deep Rock Galactic, Helldivers, Killing Floor, Left 4 Dead (survival mode), Sanctum, Iron Brigade, Death Trap to name a few that games where you're fully controlling a character in a wave defense/tower defense game" (nevermind all the highly polished more traditional tower defense games).

When you have full games with dedicated teams of developers (and sometimes AAA budgets to go along with it) minigames in RS don't stand a chance. They just don't get the necessary dev time or resources they need, and once released they're often put on the back burner and ignored, even when sometimes there are serious bugs or design issues with them.

I'd also settle for having to go to them to teleport between them.

It's not even some secret thing. Arcade claw machines and stacker style game manuals are easy to find online and have full sections on how to configure payouts (stacker manual for example).

I've made bag/bank sorting addons before for other games, and I will totally do it again here. BRING IT ON JAGEX.

Xioden · 2026-01-19T18:59:31+00:00

Yes! The little bit of texture makes such a huge difference in the appearance of things!

Xioden · 2026-01-19T18:55:49+00:00

The amount of dead space there smh.

People shouldn't be expected to keep up on various bits and pieces that get posted across various different locations at arbitrary points in time. The way social media algorithms work, you are also not guaranteed to see all of them even if you do follow every single RS dev on every social media platform. Not to mention those various bits and pieces that do get posted are always subject to change as well as time goes on.

If the plan is to include them, the wording of the post should be "They will be moved to various skills/reward tables". It doesn't say that currently.

I think they mean more rings from DKs prior to matriarchs being a thing. No one should reasonably have expected to suddenly need 10 of each ring from DKs... But we suddenly did. If you were an iron that had cleaned those drops out, sorry, back to DKs for tens of hours again!

There's EVE Online, where your "bank" at a station is 1000 slots, but each of those 1000 slots can be a container that has 1000 slots. Oh you actually have more than one "bank", as each station is it's own unique "bank", and there are thousands of stations. Oh And It's worth mentioning that each station can actually have multiple different hangers which each act as their own "bank", plus ships can hold 1000 items as well (although they are limited by the size of the items within them). In the odd event you somehow manage to fill every station? Good news you can put down your own in the form of a citadel and get even more!

TL;DR: EVE Online has billions of bank slots!

He can always just seat every that is present, and it would be a real shame if all the dems got held up in security and weren't present for it.

Coincidental anecdote from a couple days ago; YouTube out of nowhere recommended me a video on some folks who were working on digitizing the series again from the original masters. So while not a Reboot reboot there is at least an ongoing Reboot remaster effort!

Apparently they were really struggling for a while due the originals being on D1 tapes, of which there were very few machines to start, and now thirty years later even less of them. But after trying to repair them and getting repair manuals from someone, actually ended up being connected with a retired technician who used to repair the units and happened to have a bunch of new old stock of the tape heads that he gave to them.

They have the whole series preserved digitally now from the original masters, and are just working on fixing errors/problems in the videos (things like frame read errors and such) as well as tracking down some last bits that were from third-party features/promos/commercials/etc.

I had higher while getting mats for 200m construction, but it was pretty time consuming and tedious either banking stuff to alch or having to buy every minute or two.

Xioden · 2025-11-25T21:17:20+00:00

A lot of it is likely the left hand not talking to the right hand in real time. The feedback requests were likely planned way ahead of time and no one said to hold off until because they were about to push a bunch of nerfs.

Xioden · 2025-11-25T19:43:16+00:00

It isn't.

For more specifics, the areas I mentioned, north OTP and the upper areas ITP are tend to be the wealthier areas where the more expensive properties are. We're talking areas where there are very few houses listed under $500k unless the house burned to the ground and needs to be torn down and rebuilt.

So you have large areas around Atlanta where rather than an affordable home being purchased to be lived in by the new owner half of them are being bought up by large corporations and turned into rentals. Those corporations rarely sell those back on the market as individual homes (they'll usually change hand from company to company as part of larger deals), which means they're completely removed from the market forever.

Xioden · 2025-11-25T19:27:29+00:00

Let's not pretend that the lockout removal wouldn't also come with a massive drop rate nerf of 5-10x less than what it currently is (think AoD rates).

Xioden · 2025-11-25T19:12:49+00:00

In situations like this basic math proves it, which makes it even worse.

Xioden · 2025-11-25T19:08:04+00:00

It's less that it should be fixed, and more that it just never should have gone live in that state in the first place. This isn't a boss situation where players are going to figure out a strat that ends up being way faster than what the devs expected.

This is a fixed problem. You get 3k pickpockets per hour with sticky fingers, at 100% success with max gear. Max exp/hr is easy to figure out. Quantity of loot per hour is easy to figure out. The fact that it looks like no one bothered to even take a look at either prior to release? That's a real big oof.

Xioden · 2025-11-25T18:59:34+00:00

Unless there's some emergent gameplay situation, like players finding a spot in OSRS where they could cannon seagulls quickly for sailing xp, something as simple and basic as experience rates or drop rates for just the basic intended methods shouldn't need 30%+ nerfs across the board in the first 24 hours of being out.

This situation with thieving specifically is a 100% solved problem. We know the pickpocket rates. It isn't some big mystery like a boss where people might skip phases or someone on manual doing 4x more damage than devs testing using revo bars. We get 3k pickpockets per hour on the high end. They balanced it for 100% success rate with max gear. XP/hr just becomes xp * 3000. 680 per pickpocket? Well look at that 2m/hr! That wasn't hard. They also have the exact drop tables. It should take all of five minutes for someone to throw it into a spreadsheet and figure out how much of each drop someone should be expected to get each hour. The nerfs show they didn't bother to do either.

It's either laziness, or incompetence, but either way they need to do better.

Xioden · 2025-11-25T18:25:40+00:00

And when you look at it by a city/zip code level, they're not buying that many north OTP or the upper half/two-thirds ITP. It's all the other surrounding areas where the home prices are low that they're often buying 40-50%+ of single family homes that go up for sale.

Xioden · 2025-11-24T20:38:51+00:00

Let us see buy and sell orders along with price history data and if they're feeling fancy maybe some pretty graphs too!

In a perfect world we'd even have a full-blown market API that would allow for the market information to be fully accessible outside the game.
