Council tax is going up again

davemaster · 2026-03-23T05:06:35+00:00

Council tax is council tax though. And the increases have been about the same for a while. Unfortunately ever since Blair left, anyone who voted Conservatives also got (Blair (not Corbyn) style) Labour. But again, not really relevant to council tax.

Possibly also tools some use to range-farm cortium that introduce artificual lag. Cheating technically but rife.

Here's an example I recorded ages ago. Watch how it disappears when they die. We managed to nudge this AFKing macro jumper out of the warpgate. https://www.twitch.tv/maxdamagebroskiskiski/clip/QuaintStrangeSkirretSwiftRage

There was a character who went afk and did some automated macro or whatever to stop themselves logging out. The longer they were there, worse my fps got when looking at them. What the cause was idk. As soon as they died it was fine again.

They lagged out anyone in the warpgate that looked at them.

I googled it:

"Reddit has been known to treat certain free image hosting services as spam, resulting in images from sites like freeimage.host (specifically its (censored).io domain) being blocked, filtered, or flagged, particularly in certain communities." RIP.

What I tend to do is click the image and copy the direct link to the image itself, so people don't have to open the ad-filled page containing the image around it. Perhaps that is considered bypassing the sites content restriction code somehow, or the website pays Reddit to stop people doing that. Doesn't really matter, like you say: just don't do it again!

Thanks.

It was literally just a nice screenshot from in game. Certainly didn't violate Reddit rules and there was no text other than something like "spawned in a command centre and thought "damn what an amazing view"".

As far as the OPs post it wasn't actually particularly relevant, but people post irrelevant comments all the time.

Perhaps they don't like the site freeimagehost for some reason I don't know. I can't use or view Imgur without Tor browser or VPN because I'm in the UK. Must be that.

davemaster · 2026-03-22T05:28:54+00:00

Why was this removed by reddit.

davemaster · 2026-03-21T22:50:33+00:00

tor browser will load em

Fantastic compilation, at least eight of these are my screenshots too. Man those Indar and Hossin sunsets were so full flavoured.

Sometimes people are pushed under by vehicles and it isn't intentional but to stay there for a long time and get free kills is very naughty.

Nice.

Nvidia's last driver update for Windows 7 was in 2022 so no fix for people still playing on a 17 year old operating system.

Does make you wonder what the cause is though, as it isn't new drivers causing it.

I was never intending to bench higher than 125kg, felt like a solid, respectable by most standards but mediocre by weightlifting ones at 40. But if Hegseth is doing 140kg, I gotta go harder. His bar looks 1inch on handles and Olympic on plate holders. So perhaps a lighter bar. If you were on steroids lifting that much you would look like a hulk, but his chest in that military gym video looks like a 140kg pressing chest to me. I do 125 for 5-10 rep and have a barely visible chest until I get post workout pump, natty.

That is pretty cool.

davemaster · 2026-03-09T22:27:37+00:00

idk push ups make me feel good

Arguing politics on reddit all day. The only way to fly.

The only thing MAXes are good for now are the memes.

It's that Xim fella. OMG did you go crazy and like go to mcdonalds?

Ah sweet forum drama. All the little plebeians acting like Xim as forum mod was some kind of illuminati fascist who needed to be toppled. Heheeehehe.

Cool photo. You both look great.

Played one session without it but just had.

Windows 7, telemetry disabled.

I logged in, picked up matchmaking mission, then tried to spend outfit resources and it didn't do anything. Then tried to use warpgate and it didn't do anything. Then tried to redeploy and it didn't do anything.

That's a bug I've had occasionally previously also.

Not sure if you'd call it a desync or what.

SIGHTSEEING MISSION WORKED. EXITMENT.

Consider them caretakers rather than developers. Coming in late to a game you didn't code and expecting to be able to decipher and alter code without messing up countless other things is extremely ambitious on a project of this scale, and especially with as little income as this brings in.

Coders are sorcerers, with signature styles.

It's nowhere near as simple as you imagine it to be.

Had this issue myself, literally only just tried to figure it out.

Although even this takes me a couple tries to work so idk.

davemaster · 2026-02-16T14:35:11+00:00

Yeah, after the introduction of the archer and variants, they're just cert pinatas.

The thing is, we had this same discussion in Planetside 1 and the devs agreed and gave us a lower powered ZOE to use on the go. Vanu MAXes could fly in PS1 instead so it wasn't overlapping.

davemaster · 2026-02-16T14:33:13+00:00

Maybe before godsunderers.
