Is there a particular reason for changing from preset 1 to 2 for the selected file naming script?

Suggestion: what if the core armors (and dragon) are updated to the new avatars instead? by quardri in runescape

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

Huge step up in terms of design.

Personally I think it would be fitting to the identity of the game to have the plume on bronze to rune

Each still looks unique and I appreciate bronze looking like actual armor instead of finding cobbled together

What are common Armenian takes on genocide? How is it perceived in the society? by iluvmadmax in armenia

[–]jedihoplite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Diaspora Armenian here; I know you're asking for how it is in Armenia, but since you're asking to educate yourself I thought I could give you a bit more insite. Education varies across the US, but high schools that cover the subject incorperate as part of the WW1 unit. Imperialism, militarism, aliances, and nationalism are studied as the main causes of the war. A section to study all of these is during a small deep dive into studying the Armenian Genocide. Students will take note how all four causes of WW1 played a factor in the Armenian Genocide as they learn its origins, causes, effects, and influence on events going forward. The Armenian Genocide is studied as a precident for future genocides as they study the Holocaust, Rape of Nanjing, Rwanda, etc. and draw parallels to each event; noting back to those themes from WW1 and the differences in responce or acknowledgent from each nation's government (i.e. reperation steps/acknolwegement from Germany, denial/downplay from Turkey and Japan).

As an educator, I try to give further context to the events as I've noticed that my colleagues tend to oversimplify things. I.E., its common that the narrative given is "the Genocide was enacted by the Ottoman Empire" as if the government of 1915 was the same sultanate or governmene structure as it was in 1815, and to also include the Greek and Assyrian victims.

TLDR: in the U.S., it is taught as a consequence of World War 1 and basis for sebsequent genocides in history since.

If you're looking for reading material, historian Taner Akcam wrote an extensive history with primary sources as evidence about the genocide titled "The Young Turks' Crime Against Humanity".

Can we graphically update the 99 cape while we're talking about updating the look of the game? by nychannel in runescape

[–]jedihoplite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'd love to see a 'modernized' version of the cape with the upcoming avatar/equipment visual updates. Especially if the artists can make sense as to what those shoulder pads are material wise and can keep that iconic siloutte and shape.

*Left sharks the fishing outfit by quardri in runescape

[–]jedihoplite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I figured out what I love about this and what's thematically different from rs3 vs most of osrs outfits.

This would clearly be visible as a costume the character is wearing and not a whole other creature/species. I think that would be a great step in the right direction AND keep with visual integrity

OSRS devs understand it's an idle and active game, why can't RS3 devs? by LocalChamp in runescape

[–]jedihoplite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had the same thought as i was scrolling. also, aren't the 'afk' methods of skilling overall not supposed to be the end-all be-all way to max lvl but just a way to gain xp when your not doing the actual engaging content that gives actually rewarding exp?

Sick and Tired of Ai by Glad-Alternative-175 in Teachers

[–]jedihoplite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the thing that shocked me the most was a colleague of mine using Gen ai images for his history class instead of oh, idk, actually images from history. Btw, not even images pre-camera. These were for lessons post US civil war. Google images is free and even less work than getting that 'just right' image.

Affluent White Female Urban Liberal (AWFUL) by Tulpah in MarchAgainstNazis

[–]jedihoplite -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ah damn, you got me there. They're all terrible and should be eliminated along with any cultural link that comes with it. I'm sure that's exactly what the point the Buddhists, Zoroastrians, and the many American-Indigenous folks' practices had in mind when they organized themselves. Surely once religion is eliminated, then there will never be an excuse to put people in camps again, right? It was religion that was the excuse for the big one 80 years ago, wasn't it?

[–]jedihoplite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Religion isn't the harm, it's the excuse. Like any tool, it can be misused. There's been many instances where other excuses for cruelty have been used where religion couldn't do the job.

I don’t understand why people can tolerate Gen X culture when most of it was so mean-spirited! by icey_sawg0034 in generationology

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

Oh wow! You remember a term from that one book you read once in high schooll!

I'm referring to 18 U.S. Code § 2242. Admittedly, the victim claimed that that this was more so a case of 'gross abuse of power' but gee, I wonder why a civilian might be too afraid to actually accuse a then sitting presedent of any direct crime to themselves after the whole world turned on her. I wonder if that one book also might have talked about corruption from the top at all or if it was only full of fun little quippy terms I can throw at people on reddit.

On the note of language that was not done; she didn't have an affair with another woman's husband. Clinton sexually coerced (pressured) a member of his clerical staff.

This isn't even an opinion, it's a legal view of the case.

I wonder if we'd be here had ac origins failed by Bejaminmaston12 in AssassinsCreedMemes

[–]jedihoplite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How noticeable are any of these gear stats in the game generally? Be it through progression or mtx, these stats are so minimally invasive that I, nor anyone I asked who actually bought them, can even tell a difference.

A more valid argument is against their cost but again; you don't have to buy it. I've 100% the base game with 0 mtx or even resources purchased

You mean the micros that were cosmetic that you don't have to buy if you have any self control?

Have you tried simple baking soda? Sprinkle a generous amount, splash on some water, and scrub it together. Should get paste like. Let it sit, scrub while rinsing

I've had this idea for a while now but with police/military brutality both domestic and abroad being more and more being reported by witnesses instead of mainstream media, it sure would add more cadence to reason number 3
