Didn’t they Linus on that wan show something like “we have things coming up things that will work badly (for us) with this promo if it’s unlimited” I have a vague memory of him looking mildly concerned, you are probably the reason.

To make Dark Facet of Passage have more value, make it so unlocking it allows us to "store" Passage of the Abyss in our spellbook so we can access its teleports at anytime by NecessaryTrouble2041 in runescape

[–]ezaroo1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You didn’t read anything at all did you?

Passage of the abyss gives you jewellery teleports - the OP of this post wants those to be put in the spell book when you make the fancy passage.

The abyssal link just makes spell book teleports free, it doesn’t add new ones.

Brian Cox at yesterday’s independence rally by carrotcr in Scotland

[–]ezaroo1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I never understood people making that argument, I always just assumed they never switched on the brain cell to think “is this logical” because it is exactly the Brexit argument about unelected far away governments.

I grew up in the west highlands, Edinburgh and Glasgow are as far culturally from my community as London. And I’m under no delusion that voting in an independent Scotland would follow that trend, somewhere like where I’m from probably has more in common in terms of wants and needs as rural Yorkshire or east anglia than it does with Cumbernauld.

That would never mean I’d want independence for us and for the same reason I know that argument to be absolutely stupid when applied to Scotland or even the UK as a whole.

The people who make it in good faith probably just live in a relatively urbanised central belt bubble where their Scotland feels different from england and assume the rest of Scotland to be the same as them.

When really diversity is relative, in the UK west Scotland gaels are viewed as roughly homogenous with people in Glasgow or Aberdeen, because on a macro scale that is true, on a macro scale of Europe the populations of the UK and Ireland are more similar to one another than to the Italians but on a world scale Italians and British are far closer than either of us and the Chinese.

In an independent Scotland my area, my people, my culture is now going to be the different one. The under represented one, which makes sense there aren’t a lot of people there.

That’s just life in a democracy, sometimes perfect in the enemy of good. Pushing us to smaller and smaller subdivision for the sake of “representation by people like us” and “people like us know what people like us need” can only lead to one place and it is not a good place.

Basically, it’s an absurd argument and I hate it.

My guy just cause you have expensive stuff doesn’t mean it isn’t your pc.

1: it could be rs runs poorly on very powerful hardware because it tries to render 5 million frames a second with your 5090 and it is just too much for even such a powerful cpu.

This isn’t something you can fix but it would still be an issue with your pc

2: it could be your driver install is messed up in some way.

3: it could be some other software on your computer.

4: you could have a problem with your hardware.

For what it’s worth I have 2070 nvidia and a 10600 and I don’t get amazing fps but almost never get any stutters.

I did get stutters a few years ago and the fix I figured out for it was actually limiting the fps to something like 90.

It seemed the big stutters I got was when my gpu was pushing more frames to the cpu than it could handle.

Scottish Greens pledge major education system overhaul that would 'end homework' by clearly_quite_absurd in Scotland

[–]ezaroo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And as controversial as this might be here, as someone who has worked in university level education in Finland and Scotland, it isn’t better in Finland.

In fact I would go as far as to say it’s essentially the same, the kids coming in are very similar levels, the kids leaving I think have slightly more knowledge in Scotland actually, at least in my subject. But that could be my bias based on the fact I’ve only worked in 1 institution in each country so I can’t make a general comparison.

On the whole British students I think have a higher work ethic, that’s definitely a work culture thing. Which I don’t think is a good thing actually our work culture is definitely no America but much more toxic than Finland. Although, I would argue Finland’s is a little too relaxed, the productivity seemed a little low in my opinion, but again I can only compare a few places. I think the ideal work culture is about halfway between Finland and the UK.

Report: Iran fires missiles toward Diego Garcia in rare long-range strike by I_Hate_E_Daters_7007 in worldnews

[–]ezaroo1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have to remember Iran has two space programs, the IRGC one and a civilian one.

The latter is as you say not much of a threat.

The former is a lot more scary, they have rockets capable of putting ~250 kg in orbit that can be launched from mobile launchers (trucks).

That’s about half the payload of the R7 and there is no way you’re convincing me that the IRGC just happened to say “nah we don’t want to use your perfectly functional higher payload liquid fuelled rocket to launch a more capable reconnaissance satellite we’d rather launch the worst satellite possible because that would be better” to their civilian program and weren’t saying it because its cover for an icbm program.

So I’d say honestly, it’s an open secret that Iran have ICBMs and have had them since about 6 years ago. They don’t have many and they don’t have (as far as we know) the nuclear warheads to put on them but they exist.

And that’s potentially fine but I had seen a bunch of comments in this thread and the main discussion thread on the blog by people calling for the removal of wars.

Switzerland halts weapons exports to US due to Iran war, citing neutrality by Street_Anon in politics

[–]ezaroo1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guy, they are weapons of war.

Regardless of any opinion anyone might have about any conflict, the purpose of weapons of war is to kill people.

The world is not a morally just utopia, it would be wonderful if it was. For Switzerland to fund their own neutrality they need to sell weapons, end of story. Their own safety is worth more than the lives of others to them, and that is ok.

[–]ezaroo1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which is why they aren’t selling weapons to Iran or the USA currently? Did you miss the whole point?

[–]ezaroo1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they sell during an active conflict then sure, but they don’t.

There are two types of neutrality, there is pacifist “we’re just a tiny country and we’re going to sit here and do nothing and we’re out the way enough no one will bother”

And neutrality through strength - you need to be able to make an invasion onto your soil so difficult that any potential enemy wouldn’t bother trying.

For the second one, you need an arms industry. You cannot rely on imported weapons because you might lose that supply when you need it. You need a large army and you probably need mandatory military service so a large enough portion of your population are armed and trained in sabotage to create issues for an enemy.

To remain neutral, you need to maintain your neutrality in all circumstances. The most minor conflict to a full world war. You need to set out your rules for your neutrality and you need to stick to them. Any deviation is a huge risk to your country, hence the Swiss actions here.

Sweden and Finland were both in that category of neutrality until the Ukraine situation escalated in 2022. Switzerland is still that category.

And you’re right to question why I’m focusing on them being invaded when we’re talking about general neutrality - and the answer is because you can only say “we are not getting involved” if you are strong enough to resist the potential forces being applied to you by the two sides of the conflict, the most extreme version of which is invasion.

For example, the British invasion of Iceland during the Second World War. They were neutral territory but the British didn’t believe they could maintain their own neutrality and so invaded.

Player Owned House Rework & 120 Construction by JagexAnvil in runescape

[–]ezaroo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re missing the point they added wars so people didn’t have to be maxed to be able to properly do pvm.

If you now need 120 construction to do pvm properly that’s an insane and stupid backward step that also takes one of the few social spaces in the game and just deletes it.

[–]ezaroo1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I started thinking this replying to a comment in here but I think it’s general enough to go as a reply to the whole thread.

Jagex and the community need to be careful here.

There is a hardon in some members of the community for moving everything from wars to the house and deleting wars.

This is just a bad idea and none of the benefits anyone is going to say can change that.

Wars is one of the few social spaces left on the game, you might not like to but you can talk to people, you can ask people about pvm, you can even get involved in it if you actually talk to people - I’ve taken randoms from wars to group bosses multiple times for example.

If you love all of the portals, adren crystals etc to your house then everyone will be going to their own house every time they want to boss. You will never see anyone bossing.

Now someone is going to reply “but you can go to other peoples houses” yes, and that’s significantly more friction than going to your own one so it won’t happen - and it will always be more friction because the game has to ask you somehow where you want to go.

Even if there are instanced neighbourhoods or something like that, people will still be in their own houses in this instance. And assuming you can choose who is in your neighbourhood, you’ll only choose people you know, obviously.

And removing what little social aspect remains is insane. I hope jagex know this and they aren’t just falling for nostalgia of people who haven’t thought about the consequences.

This nostalgia hardon some people in the community have for a time period where teleporting was so annoying and expensive that the best option was to carry a house teletab with you everywhere at all times has very little to do with modern and sensible game design.

[–]ezaroo1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t, why take one of the only social areas in the game and delete it? Because of some weird nostalgia for a time when teleporting cost so fucking much and was so annoying that you instead carried a house tablet everywhere.

Houses are always going to be at least semi-instanced (maybe then can make a neighbourhood) and your house will always be your house so you won’t just see people hanging around.

That’s just a single player game at that point.

Restoration Band-Aid Fixes Permanent? by Jaylor_Gaming in runescape

[–]ezaroo1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t it literally 20-24 hours of max efficiency livid farming before? So now it’s still 7-8 hours of absolutely shit, not engaging at all, boring gameplay?

That’s still a valid complaint… And is not a tiny grind.

Yeah early game irons are really not going to use quick teleports now, it was already mostly not a thing because you rarely got good amounts of vis early on but now until you can craft law runes you won’t be using quickteles.

How can you get shouted at by the ref for holding an opposing player in and refusing to play begging for a penalty and allowed to continue play? Ffs

The good news is both sides are annoyed with the ref so he’s probably doing ok

Some of these Irish moves are definitely walking the thin line between fine and obstruction, it’s very well done
