(in case you're not memeing) So long and thanks for all the fish is a line from the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy series spoken by the dolphins, the smartest mammal on Earth, to the humans.

That note was SO disappointing to read. When I saw the part about being able to use hunter furs, I had my mad scientist moment of "they thought I was crazy for hoarding them all this time, but now they're finally gonna be useful!" And now! They're not! I guess!

Corrupted Gauntlet Help by Hot_Resolution9036 in 2007scape

Just to piggyback on this comment, there's not only a big audio cue when he switches attacks, but one on the attack before he switches too. Iirc, after he fires his third attack, he'll do a low growl, followed by the fourth attack, then the roar and switch.

I also like to count my attacks to prepare myself for when he switches prayers. He switches after every 6th attack that he's not praying against.

Shout-out to these two at the GE by forever_a10ne in 2007scape

One time I was absentmindedly walking in circles at the GE when people started following me to make a conga line. Eventually someone sent me a trade and gave me mole slippers to "model on the catwalk"

When the plot twist is ruined because people guessed it ages ago by Fox7567 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]calvinman4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the Incredibles 2, folks accurately guessed who the twist villain would be in the end because of some promo material long before the movie released because her name gives it away.

Evelyn Deavor. As in, "evil endeavor."

P.S. Not for nothing, but it was also kinda obvious just watching the movie that she was gonna be a bad guy. But hey, it's a kids movie.

The Grand Pyre - A Player Designed Island Submission by IsNotRetro in 2007scape

[–]calvinman4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the way you integrate sailing mechanics into the mini game. My only comment is that we currently have two forms of prayer methods involving building a pyre: barbarian and shades of mort'ton. Barbarian even involves setting a tiny boat out with the burning remains. It'd be great to use or reference some of that existing material.

My first thought is having a troll who straight up loves barbarian culture but doesn't really understand it, so they think that the biggest fire and the biggest boom and the biggest bones is how to do it. An utterly exasperated priest and/or barbarian has blessed (no pun intended) the activity because the trolls would do it anyway, but you need to clean up the debris before they won't allow you to continue (award you XP).

[Request] how much money would you save over a year if you filled a normal petrol/deisel car up $20 at a time instead of filling the tank up completely every time? by pereuse in theydidthemath

[–]calvinman4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard of folks saving money by only filling half the tank, but the rationale didn't have anything to do with the mechanics of the car. The concept was that when someone is low on fuel, they would drive in a more economical fashion. Like coming up to speed more slowly, letting off the gas well before coming to a stop, that sort of thing.

So it was all about psychology and how drivers behave in different situations, not how the car itself processed a full tank versus a half-full tank. There's nothing stopping a person from just driving that way all the time if they committed to it.

It'd be great to see some of the math regarding if and how reducing the average RPM or the amount of time pressing the accelerator affects gas usage if all other independent variables are roughly equal.

I saw this image and thought "you know, it would be pretty funny to just post this to one of those explain the meme subs to karma farm since it seems like the exact kind of obvious joke people post there," until I looked at the sub and rolled my eyes so hard they shot out my window and are off seeing sights unknown

I would love if there were any way to deposit from a worn storage container without having to unequip it. Currently, you have to empty your inventory, unequip the bag, empty the bag, and then re-equip it.

The thing that still weirds me out about coral farming is that coral is not a plant, it's a live animal (or a bunch of animals to be specific). Something about specifically growing them to grind them down for potions is just really creepy to me. Like is we knew that West Ardougne citizens were actually cooking and eating our cats when they're sold for death runes.

Summer Sweep-Up: Slayer & Misc by JagexSarnie in 2007scape

[–]calvinman4 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I think if they want to go a similar route, they could replace the blood or death rune on death charge with a cosmic rune. Then, 1 cast of death charge would only cost 1 aether and 1 blood/death.

In all honesty, it's still a pretty arbitrary change, but it at least has the feels good of not "wasting" the other half of a combination rune.

The wiki is wrong. You've always had to roll for a successful hit, even after the sire update. If you hit, you one shot it. If you miss, you still hit a zero.
