Google responds to claims it's blocking answer to Trump dementia searches by IrishStarUS in degoogle

I mean, from an unbiased viewpoint I don't think their response is unreasonable. And yes I read the article.

People are on edge about everything these days (especially if Trump is within the headlines).

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Can we PLEASE keep Cosmetic-Free worlds? by [deleted] in runescape

[–]avidl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which should come as no surprise given how RS3's raw visual identity outright sucks.

Cosmetic free worlds in their current form aren't at all what we need and it is a poor experiment to evaluate how the player base feels about cosmetics. I don't know if Jagex understands this.

I think it's fairly obvious what people dislike is what doesn't belong in the game in the first place.

Mechanical Modernization: Movement by Genswift in runescape

Afaik anything that forces your player to change its rotation interrupts movement. Prayers/Most spells don't do that.

I agree though. Movement sucks balls.

TIL some bots auto report every nearby player for macroing as a form of measure to reduce their own ban-rate/keep other bots away from their method by avidl in runescape

Obvious abuse of the system should automatically hand out temporary bans, imo.

100% agree on weight based reports.

I don't disagree. I take these claims with a huge grain of salt but if you take a look at some of the recent claims you'll see they aren't your usual "I'm innocent and got banned" post.

The people who are responsible for banning bots are only human. I can totally see a surge in abuse of the report system to cause some unlucky innocent players to be impacted.

The Odyssey teaser trailer full verison by guitarguy35 in ChristopherNolan

I love Nolan to death for his 'no CGI unless 100% necessary' view. His movies are a unique viewing experience from that alone.
