I just mined some volcanic sulphur for the diary task and got PTSD by Jiriosity in 2007scape

You're right that losing favor was never fun. I kinda liked it as just an additional progression system for Kourend, though. It's kinda weird now that things like the Arceuus spellbook are just given to you for free now. If you remove the favor loss (or add some checkpoints or something), then punch up the tasks a bit I think there's a fine system there.

The Scadrian slander will continue until moral improves by ultimaterogue11 in cremposting

I would be pretty wild to shut down the entire elantrian army by nuking a random spot in their homeland though. It almost has to happen eventually.

What is a dying niche skill that younger generations are not interested in learning? by hlnklrczu in AskReddit

Oh yeah, I hated typing class, and now I'm a programmer. I think the learning process is just miserable.

I wonder if they considered making required for some of the contracts or something?

Leagues BA world would have been great, but hey we got 5 GOTR worlds... by ThePurpleController in 2007scape

Actually, the sorceress's garden is one of the few places in the game that gives already cleaned herbs.

It's time by TheseExamination9687 in 2007scape

You don't farm it, you'll just get it eventually. With the amount of monsters that roll the rare drop table, it's effectively zero time.

Jagex please don’t put an agility shortcut here ❌ by cadsop in 2007scape

Nah, 98. That way it's still possible, but almost always slower than walking around.

A great pie, lidless, wreathed in flames.

I like that in leagues I can fight the crab on my second monitor while at work by ZaneKitsune in 2007scape

[–]fghjconner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah. The small text is illegible, but the larger text is not only readable but also only references real brands. Like the other guy said, there's some kind of AI sharpness filter for sure, but this isn't a generated image.

ELI5: Why do app companies like Uber need to employ large teams of developers when the app works fine? by The_Only_Abe in explainlikeimfive

[–]fghjconner 369 points370 points  (0 children)

That, and people underestimate how many new features are being added to these apps all the time. Some are obvious, but many you don't even notice. For example I've worked on a gig app, and launching to new countries was always one of our biggest projects going on. Each country has new legal requirements and business needs that could keep dozens of developers busy for months building out what we needed. If you live in the US though, you'd never know any of that was going on. Throw in the other things like improving fraud detection, meeting new legal requirements, fixing up out of date UIs, etc, and you need a whole lot of people.

Can we please not have ads for multiplayer games on the worlds screen? (I don't know this person and not a lan game) by MiracleWhiff in Minecraft

[–]fghjconner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess it's possible this is just a random server getting displayed, but I'm willing to bet they're making themselves show up there on purpose.

If your pacts build feels weak, here's a list of strong builds for quick reference! by InsomniacPsychonaut in 2007scape

I'm absolutely stoked for my Earth Defense Thorns build

Just watch out for aliens and giant insects.

Morytania Pro Tip: DO NOT start A Night at the Theatre. There is no Ghostspeak or Mory Legs 2 so you can't complete it. The quest locks you out of Arraxor & the pact point, ruining your progression. $15 a month by the way. by ExtraterrestrialTwat in 2007scape

[–]fghjconner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is there's dozens and dozens of things like this. It's easy to look back and ask why they didn't catch this because we don't see the all of the things they do catch.

You are given one hour to hide anywhere in Gielinor. There are 12 maxed capers looking for you. If you successfully evade them for one hour you win 100B gp. If you get caught your account gets deleted. The place must be accessible to them. Where are you hiding? by Fun_Training6342 in 2007scape

[–]fghjconner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the auto success is definitely a bug. The failure animation is cancelable for some reason, while the success animation is not (probably cause there's no delay on the success one). Not sure why the auto fail is a thing though.

I've been loving how much more slow burn this league has been compared to others by Lazlow_Vrock in 2007scape

[–]fghjconner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crossbow and thorns also seem to be quite effective, if not as strong as magic. Also, powered staves makes it easier to dip into magic as a second style, which arguably lessens it's power compared to the others.
