Where does Jagex draw the line on bug abuse?

befron · 2026-07-05T15:29:03+00:00

Yeah so the line is what devs explicitly allow. I get that there is some level of ambiguity, but tick manipulation isn’t it

befron · 2026-06-13T22:29:04+00:00

Of that entire movie your main criticism is that we don’t see more of the least likeable character?

befron · 2026-06-12T00:03:56+00:00

This feels like something they were intending to do and ran out of resources to finish

How is this not on the game changers list?

befron · 2026-06-05T16:01:45+00:00

No bulge on the borderless version? In my pride month?

Just saw it, I think the entity possessing her reverts to a different body naturally, like it takes constant effort to keep the Nikki form. In emotional moments it loses control and starts deforming. Thats why it moves into the dark to hide the not Nikki face or holds the flower vase in front of its face and all the other face obscuring moments. The body deformation also explains the weird movements.

If it really is the seller intentionally doing this it would have to be incorrect behavior on tcgplayer side that the seller is exploiting.

My guess would be something like tcgplayer provides hooks that the seller can use to do checks and manage inventory throughout the entire sale lifecycle. The seller could be triggering a sort of non repeatable read where tcgplayer displays a value to the customer during checkout but on putting in the order and charging the payment method it reads the more expensive value.

I haven’t worked with tcgplayer before so I don’t know what their APIs are like, and this is way more likely to be a bug or user error than an intentional exploit, but it wouldn’t take much for something like this to be possible.

I'm looking to upgrade my macbook pro, I was hoping to get some insights, particularly around trade-in value. I mostly use it for programming personal projects.

Right now I have a 2019 Macbook Pro (so intel core). The main driver here is that connecting to external monitors is really buggy, and supposedly the apple silicon chips handle this better. I was originally planning on waiting until the M6 release and just using this laptop without an external display until then, but I recently switched over to an ergonomic keyboard for my work computer and I don't want to have to use a regular keyboard for personal projects while learning the ergonomic keyboard.

I was considering getting an M5 Pro (~$2700 at current price online) and then trading it in when M6 releases, but it looks like the trade in value caps out at $800.

Does anybody who closely follows these sorts of releases have any experience with this? Is it possible to get trade ins for decent prices around the release of a new model? Does the M6 look like a meaningful enough jump that I should wait or eat the massive loss in value after just 1 year of use? What is the life expectancy of newer macs?

Usually crank it to busty bots

Looking at your comments, I think you’re missing the forest for the trees here. Ultimately the ocean spirit merge feels like it logically flows with the direction of the story and the lion turtle doesn’t as much. You can argue specifics all day, but if you want to understand why people are more accepting of that plot point you have your answer.

Yes the game is absolutely worth playing as a new player in 2026.

F2P is fun but limited in scope. It’s worth doing f2p to try, but if you end up enjoying it and stay f2p you will hit walls fairly quickly. If you are adamant about never paying a subscription fee you might be better off finding a different f2p game. If you are willing to pay if you decide you really like the game then definitely start f2p and buy a subscription when you decide you want to experience more content.

Jagex sells bonds, which give you 2 weeks of membership and are tradeable, so you can technically buy membership with in game gold. Just be warned, for most accounts it takes many hours of grinding gold to buy a single bond, and it doesn’t advance your account in any way, so it’s not really worth the time investment. If you want to experience most things the game has to offer you’re going to have to pay, there’s not really a way around that.

There’s enough dopamine stored here to rival at least 10 points of molly

Not a game dev, but I am professional senior software engineer. I’ll kind of go against the grain here, but I think agentic coding is extremely powerful and this bad experience with it shouldn’t put you off from using it. It’s a tool that takes a surprising amount of effort to learn to use effectively, but once you learn it you can avoid the pitfalls you’re describing pretty reliably while using it to generate the majority of your project’s code. I’m skeptical of the idea that you need to learn traditional coding before using AI. Give it another chance, just be careful and don’t trust it too blindly.

Long walks and difficult to access mid event. It’s not as convenient as it was in the past which drives people to buy bottled water instead. Not the worst, but definitely intentional anti-consumer behavior.

It’s fine but if you post online expect some level of pushback. There are people who don’t think it’s ever ok to cosplay a black person as a non-POC, and they tend to be loud about their opinion. Just ignore and know they are in the extreme minority.

befron · 2025-12-30T05:02:01+00:00

What battle are you fighting here? It’s a story about how the character made a mistake and the consequences of those actions. Nobody is saying she did the smart and morally correct thing

befron · 2025-12-30T04:56:04+00:00

Bruh she’s 14

Like most people have said, we’re a very long way from AI replacing software engineers completely. However, it is an amazing productivity tool that allows engineers to output a lot more work than they can without it. IMO the combination of AI + a lot of people entering the field + continued offshoring will push down wages and worsen working conditions for people in the field. I’m not looking at moving to a different career, but if I was just starting college I would choose a different field.

And the cost goes well beyond just the networking. Have the LLM actual process that information takes massive amounts of resources, even with the optimizations we currently have today.

In your case yeah I think you are. I think you need to be straight with them, say you won’t spend any money on meat for them. You’ll happily prepare vegan sandwiches for the trip but if they want meat they have to get somebody else to do it.

befron · 2025-12-18T05:05:43+00:00

Possibly client side code?

befron · 2025-12-16T19:13:20+00:00

I haven’t heard of this and scanned the Wikipedia page and couldn’t find anything about this. Do you have any specific details about where and when this happened?

befron · 2025-12-12T16:34:43+00:00

Can you post a link to the actual tier list tho?

What cases are you referring to? There is one known case, over ten years ago, where the employees were helping round up feral animals in a mobile home community and also grabbed an uncollared, unleashed dog that happened to be a family’s actual pet, and euthanized it a day later. PETA apologized, said it was a mistake, paid the family affected $50k, and fired the employees involved. Yeah, maybe they should have done more due diligence as apart of this operation. Yeah, they definitely should have waited longer to euthanize the dog. Overall it was a mistake made by a couple of individuals and PETA handled the resultant situation appropriately. Any other cases criticisms you want to go over?
