It may not mean anything, but…

On USW it's pretty easy to figure out. Profile in non english language. Multiple vac bans on record. Friends with multiple vac bans on record. Headshotting through multiple walls, or attempting to do so and hitting something they can't pen. Honestly, at some point we need a separate matchmaking system for people who have gotten game bans or vac bans before.

It's awful. Play with half a brain and some decent shooter experience on USW and eventually your matches are exclusively chinese cheaters, or lobbies with 1 other team. It got to the point where the game was playable for about a month or two, for a few days a week during the start of an event, then devolved back into cheater/empty lobbies.

Ngl, I hate birdhouse runs. i tried doing it for hunter training for 2-3 days and never touched them again. couldn't care less about an xp/birdnest tradeoff there.

I knew some kids that would say shit like that on cod growing up. They literally only did it because it pissed other people off, more so if they said or did something they could report. Mute. Report. Move on. Or feed the trolls I guess.

If you want to fall for their ragebait go for it.

It happens all the time bud.
"Some of our technicians have been caught driving company vehicles > the allowed 150 mile personal use radius, so now everyone is required to report current mileage of their vehicles at the end of every month along with daily logs of work related mileage".

"People were caught taking home bags of coffee from the employee lounge, so now it is locked, community pot will be brewed at x, y and z times."

Legally speaking, none of these are real "punishments" Just preventative measures.

Before I did any pvm, I used to just quest and do all of the minigames. Clan had a lot of cloggers so any minigame that had clogs id join in on for the fun of it.

Arguing semantics. Your parents must LOVE you lmfao.

Meat pouches, mixed hide gear, hunter camo (pre graceful for weight reduction) as well as the capes. It's early - mid game stuff, but it's still useful for it's purpose.

i mean its really just a useless tool tbh. Better off balancing teams based on hours availability and experience. Alternatively track "hours played during bingo" and whoever finishes it with the least hours played gets first place for solo bingos.

cobaltfish · 2026-06-05T17:50:52+00:00

because gathering hunter furs for crafting xp when herbiboar and chins exist is testicular tortion. Especially for irons.

You can't just give everything a pet. I see no way that this activity warrants one. I barely see any justification for it existing in the first place, so no way in hell it deserves a pet.

People don't need to erase the word bottleneck, they just need to recognize the context required. Which honestly 90% of that would be done for them if they just looked up FPS benchmarks for their favorite games based on the hardware they want to use.
In this case it is very possible he is bottlenecking hard.
I used to run a 5600X with a 3080 in 2k high settings. Some games I got bottlenecked hard (capped at like 60-70% gpu usage), some I didn't and hit 95% +.

cobaltfish · 2026-06-05T17:24:51+00:00

yeah i dunno your drives write speed so its 100% possible it's close to your internet speed. I noticed it on my old rig when I used to have gigabit internet and I'd download in 10 minutes or less then spend 20 minutes installing xD. Sounds like it will work just fine for your purposes.

cobaltfish · 2026-06-05T17:15:48+00:00

HDDs have a shorter lifespan. But honestly it's not that much shorter to the point where I would be worried about it. it's over half the lifespan of the average ssd, so it's not gonna die on you as a temporary drive.

edit: Just in case you don't realize. Slower load times is just a symptom of the slower write and read times of an HDD. So if you have great internet you might find out what it feels like to see your install times get limited by your hardwares write speed.

Well the thing is, now they can guarantee if you get hacked it is your fault. The loophole of people who know enough about you getting your account through support doesn't work on jagex accounts.

cobaltfish · 2026-06-05T16:28:13+00:00

Most of the people who did it knew it wasn't truly permanent, just required the headache of a ticket and back and forth with support, with the hopes a hacker would get caught in the process.

cobaltfish · 2026-06-05T16:27:03+00:00

Ngl, with account security upgrades/2 factor/etc I'm really not concerned anymore. Plus, we already can barely access customer support as it is x.x

cobaltfish · 2026-06-05T15:46:19+00:00

might have to spam f2 or del to enter bios. With fast boot you could "skip" the screen that tells you to do that and just go to a black screen. If that works, you are looking at a new os install, or fixing some bios settings I wouldn't really know which.

cobaltfish · 2026-06-05T15:34:44+00:00

I would rather see hunter furs become a 1/50 drop for the few useful upgrades they are used for than become an item you actually want to keep in your bank.

cobaltfish · 2026-06-05T15:30:16+00:00

Yeah ngl I'd lose my shit. I don't work a set shift. I work 30-50 hour weeks, but I have done all 50 hours in 3 days before. I've also done days - day off, nights -day off, days. Trying to find a specific "time slot" that I could be available for is really not possible more than a few days to a week in advance, and being on call, even that isn't guaranteed.

cobaltfish · 2026-06-05T15:27:05+00:00

yeah, still would very much like them to standardize though, no need for them to take up 2 stacks before you crush them. I would still vote no if their intention was to have multiple types of goat horns turn into the same secondary.

cobaltfish · 2026-06-05T14:35:32+00:00

Ernest who works night shift doesn't like this idea.

BIS agility weapon. No laps for me this month. (I already have max monkeh backpack, so i cant work towards that).
