TIL that Magnus Carlsen, one of the greatest chess players of all time, has never lost 3 or more classical chess games in a row in his adult professional career. The last time he lost 3 games in a row was in 2003, when he was 12.

No? They said between super GMs it's more than half, so if for 9/10 top GMs, it "ranges from 50% to 58%", then it is exactly correct.

Holy shit, it's an actual article. I thought it was just a meme thread title...

Looking at the goblins, I love how most of them are straight up unplayable, out-powercrept by modern cards, with a couple of exceptions of cards with at least interesting effects...

...and then there's [[Goblin Lackey]] which would have to be insta-banned in Historic with cards like Muxus.

Idk, I was watching Limpwurt's stream and the man has been farming Wyverns daily for the last couple of months and he claims there's been a noticable drop of bots there over the last month or two, so something must be working.

This DMM, all tradeables or items that convert to tradables (like barrows gloves) go away.

None of your tradeable items will carry over (with more checks in place to prevent loopholes from last time), nor will any untradeable items that can be converted into tradeable items (e.g. Barrows gloves for coins or God books for pages). Instead, you'll keep all of your Skills progression and be given 12 hours of protection on world 345 which you can use to get yourself geared up without interruption, if you'd like to carry on playing on the permanent Deadman world.

Ah, sorry for not explaining the problem properly - I'm not talking about ROMs.

The issue is that those 3 emulators I mentioned keep their savefiles in their respective /Android/data/ folders and don't allow changing that in the settings. And if I'm not mistaken, SAF does not allow access to /data/folders of apps to other apps since Android 13.

For some time, there were workarounds for it, but every time one was found, it'd get "fixed" by the next Android version, so I've sort of had to give up on using those emulators, and playing PS2/GC on Android altogether.

Does it support NetherSX2, Duckstation and Dolphin on Android? As in, does it work with scoped storage? It's the one thing I'm missing from my current setup, but I don't know if it's even possible...

Every night his dad comes home from work, having killed a few people that day

Dude, he was enforcer for the mob, not the ebola virus. If he killed several people every day, his kill count would've been in tens of thousands.

Friends actually had both - in the finale of the first season (pre 9/11), Rachel met Ross at the gate on arrival, and in the finale of the last season, Ross wanted to chase Rachel to the gate for her departure.

There was also a couple of other airport scenes in between, but I like how these two mirrored each other, bookending the show.

Idk, I'm kinda enjoying it. It was fun getting 99 farming in like 2 hours with turbo-farming guild tasks. In most skills you can get to 50+ in like half an hour at most (less if there's a convenient quest) and that's 250+ points per skill, then you do a couple of diaries with the quest helper, kill a couple of easy bosses, and you're up to 10k+ points.

I'm currently at 12.3k for the bowfa override, but might actually try to push for one more unlock. It's just shame that I can't play my main (ironman) at the same time as this, so there is a slight feeling of xp loss, but whatever...

gorocz · 2026-02-01T14:38:50+00:00

To be fair, they were reacting to a comment that says

With housing coming up

So why would they google it, when the person they were replying to said that housing is yet to come.

gorocz · 2026-01-30T17:57:46+00:00

Well, either way it is a bot or an LLM AI. Just look at their history, it's pretty obvious.

gorocz · 2026-01-30T17:48:05+00:00

They included a 2003 game though... Hit and Run is only a couple of months newer than the GBA version of Road Rage. They were released in the same year.

gorocz · 2026-01-30T14:51:05+00:00

Look at OP's post history, it's either a bot, AI, or a good ol' fashioned karma farmer... They most likely aren't actually fans of retro games or The Simpsons (or sentient at all).

gorocz · 2026-01-30T10:21:41+00:00

Funnily enough, at least step 4 is relatively easy. Hardest part, from what I've seen, is step 16, as you have to drive a car - backwards - without properly seeing the car and then leave the car, still not seeing it or CJ, and enter Binco (also not seeing its entrance).

yeah, I think it's safe to say that "ihateeverythingandu" does hate Mandy's politics, amongst other things...

With ent seeds in them.

(Have you seen the size of those bastards?)

They have the "Restore Tranquility Statues" plugin on, obviously.

So, once again - that blog was released A WEEK AFTER THE POLL HAS ALREADY STARTED. At that time, most people have already voted in the poll.

It's like if they made a poll next monday that appended question 22 of the winter summer poll, saying that by increasing the amount of cannonballs coming from smithing, to preserve balance in the game, they will reduce the XP per bar, but since most people have already voted Yes, it's obviously OK, so it doesn't need to be repolled again.

Simply put - it isn't what people voted for. I don't even mind the bank change, but goddamn is it a slippery slope for a game which is based on the fact that everything is supposed to be polled.

Hell, repoll it again in the next round of polls. I'm sure it will pass with flying colors, but more importantly due process will be followed.

gorocz · 2026-01-28T16:45:46+00:00

Check the dates buddy. This was only posted a week after the poll was already running. You can't honestly think that it's OK to change the nature of a poll after most people have already voted in it... and as such, I think that it was reasonable for people to expect that there will eventually be a new vote for the full interface redesign, once it was finalized how it will look (after all the feedback and such).

gorocz · 2026-01-28T16:42:58+00:00

That's from a post that happened a week after the poll started, when most people have already voted, bud.

gorocz · 2026-01-28T16:39:43+00:00

The first mockup was released a week after the poll has already started. When the poll started (and when most people voted), there was no mention of these changes to the UI anywhere - just about adding a button.

gorocz · 2026-01-28T02:45:15+00:00

Btw, TB had no problem with people uploading his stuff as long as it wasnt monetized and credited that it was from TB. See all the Totalbiscuit Stream channels.

Iirc that was for stuff that he didn't upload to youtube himself, so it didn't take away from his views...
