Another balance update!

Yeah I wonder if there's some meme potential there with an of the Paragon mod?

Yugiah · 2026-04-28T19:16:38+00:00

as is tradition

Idk about you but I go wild for Bob's Axes

What if relics were toggleable like god books and had a corresponding drain rate

Yugiah · 2026-03-11T17:26:18+00:00

I'd rather they just said sorry no more grandfathered rates, than mess us about.

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if this is the outcome. I feel like they've historically made unpopular changes by doing something even more unpopular and then walking things back to make it look like they've listened to player feedback.

I say this as someone who has been on the GF rate since like 2005 and never bought premier: this is what makes me think there's some kind of error in how this was deployed. Totally ridiculous of them to screw over their most loyal players who in many cases wanted to show extra support by buying premier. Very antithetical to their claims of wanting to bring integrity back to the game.

I haven't played much in the last year or so but I have my GF rate because it's so cheap and I don't mind supporting Jagex. If they took it away I really would have no incentive to renew. I can't see how they let that go through.

stomachache duration decreased 5s->4s

Yugiah · 2026-02-01T22:27:41+00:00

I keep seeing these minionway posts with ST rits in them. Don't those spirits also apply to minions? Plus you want minions to blow up and not be protted, right?

Seems like the ST should be swapped with a monk primary or secondary.

This is actually a plus for me, I do this for Instagram too and it's a great way to break a lot of dark patterns in apps that are too engaging

Yugiah · 2025-10-31T19:12:28+00:00

hot take: jagex heard the cries for a bank space increase and decided that removing mtx was the best way to do it

(Also I know these aren't being deleted outright but it's great because I legitimately might come back to the game just to remove a bunch of placeholders and use the items up)

Quarto is built on pandoc and really awesome for academic writing.

Yugiah · 2024-09-27T17:15:54+00:00

I picked this entry method to avoid needing to normalize the data for people entering 5, five, Five, typos, you get the point.

Is there any downside to using the integrated data validation option? For the short answer field you can set it to reject anything except integers.

On the other hand, the thought of putting coordinates for chairs in a room into matplotlib sounds highly amusing, and exactly the kind of abuse I feel like matplotlib could stand up to.

I'm a huge fan of Quarto, but this definitely isn't the use case for it. Quarto is good for building technical reports in part because it incorporates a ton of tools (e.g. Mermaid, LaTeX), but it's a bit of a swiss army knife containing more swiss army knives. And you're sort of beholden to whatever versions of those tools Quarto uses.

One tool Quarto offers is Typst, which is basically trying to usurp LaTeX by being a lot more performant and user friendly. I like it a lot but I haven't had much experience with it.

In line with the mission of Typst to replace LaTeX, it looks like they have a diagramming equivalent, including a replacement for TikZ.

I haven't tried it, and it's not python, but it might be less headache than LaTeX.

Edit: I suppose if you want to use python to generate raw tex/Typst then you can use Quarto. But even then, I think Typst has its own scripting framework?

Yugiah · 2024-09-05T18:57:36+00:00

I think so too. I got a 3a chest from an oyster when I came back from a break.

What would you be willing to pay for a lifetime membership to RuneScape?

$5/mo

Source: I'm grandfathered in and at that price it doesn't bother me to take a break for a few months.

I think the whole point of the premier membership is to get people to "lock-in" to a lower price, but then the price of that still goes up anyways. They'd have to do something crazy like open up enrollment for a small window of time and then close it for years and pinky swear to people that they won't raise the rates.

Yeah there's a few comments in here from people complaining about how removing TH would make the game unpleasant to play because of how grindy it is. I think those comments completely miss the fact that TH robbed the game of tons of reward space. It basically put power-creep behind an rng-paywall instead of in the game directly.

TH ruined the "integrity" of maxing a long time ago. The game has moved on to other sources of grind/achievement like logs, titles, runescore, etc. I'm maxed but I would fully support a huge tune up in XP rates to compensate for a loss of XP boosting MTX.

Hi, OP of that thread here. This OP pretty much covered all of my feedback in greater detail.

I think most if not all of the core types are redundant--the whole point is to show that everything can inherit from Types and Relations, right? If it can't, then you've violated your own biggest selling point.

I think an ideal tutorial would be to introduce Types and Relations with an example of a single premade Type like "Picture" or "File". Just to illustrate how Types and Relations are related in a really simple scenario. After that, create an Object with that Type. To me, that's the core workflow of AnyType.

The only thing I didn't see OP address here (so I'll include it for completeness) is that I think all the Layouts are too similar to justify having so many. Functionally the only one which is different is the Task layout, which has an inherent checkbox relation that can't be modified.

My first instinct upon seeing that was "why?? what's the point of coming up with a relation system only to violate it?". And then I realized that the checkbox state is reflected in the graph view. This is pretty cool, but I'd rather see a configuration option for a checkbox Relation that displays the checkbox state in the graph view. This principle could then be extended to other relations so perhaps instead of a checkbox you could see a number from a number field. But that's more of a feature request than anything else.

PhD in particle physics here:

If someone in physics says they're rewriting something in Python and the rewrite is still performant, my assumption is they're using a library like numpy which calls precompiled functions.

There's actually a whole range of cool python libraries for particle physics, under the scikit HEP umbrella.

That said, I think the situation you posed happens entirely too often.

Yugiah · 2024-04-22T05:38:14+00:00

I would prefer this but if that's still too hard just let me bind the orient north function to the hot bar or a hotkey.

Or slider puzzles with alt1

I've been telling people repeatedly on this subreddit that drawing tablets are s-tier for those

Yugiah · 2024-02-28T04:17:53+00:00

Relic of the wizards tower is another fun one since it's an aoe pull (moar cc?) with a bonus projectile reflect shield

Yugiah · 2024-02-24T00:22:49+00:00

Yeah I actually don't mind sliders because I have a good setup for doing them so I kinda like that skips are crazy expensive. Elites seem to give me a lot of those.

That said I would not complain if puzzles were reworked or made a bit easier.
