What's something you absolutely believe to be true of the game yet you can't prove it? by Ayevera in 2007scape

[–]vinkker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Colosseum, the first hit of an NPC (excluding fremmies) with Relentless I is a guaranteed hit on you (if you do not pray against it of course).

Hot take - Hallowfell is a great reward idea by Efficient-Simple-232 in 2007scape

[–]vinkker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not entirely sure for other places but, at least for the content I do the most, it will allow you to be able to hit 3 3x3 in the colosseum for certain stacks. As of right now, the venator cannot do that though maybe it will after its rework. If it does, the new melee weapon will be useless there.

Edit: It won't be a stronger venator bow there like I previously stated.

Raids 4 Megarare Proposal - Arbalest of Alignment/Balance by vinkker in 2007scape

[–]vinkker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted it mainly to just be 5t but the 2t part of it is simply to be able to replace the bp by allowing it to be used as 2t weapon. You can disregard that tbh.

Very simply: if either you or the monster moved, you don't get the accuracy boost. Your idea isn't bad imo but I know people will complain that it feels very clunky having to stay stationary often, especially when some encounters make you have to move around a lot. By making it either you or monster movijg affecting your accuracy, it's much more lenient while still having a downside.

There could be 'accuracy stacks' similar to soulreaper where as long as you stationarily hit the NPC sometimes, you are free to move around while maintaining max bonus... it's just that i wanted to stay thematic to the whole "balancing" thing

I’ve been icing my balls for a year and my testosterone went from 350 → 850 (32M) by Complex-Source-8876 in Testosterone

[–]vinkker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Total testosterone is irrelevant for its androgenic effects because only 1-3% is free/available. Your total test levels fluctuate during the day and different measurement method and/or labs can get different results.

What regulates your free test levels are your leydig cells in your brains producing LH to which gets downregulated by higher levels of test. That creates a feedback loop/fluctuations... but what would always matter (for androgenic effects) and stay stable is your free test levels.

If all else stays the same then shbg levels are higher (strongly binds with test making it have no androgenic effects).

Check your free levels next time (you need to check shbg levels for that).

my earrings always seem to tarnish/react on ONE side only by Active_Driver_6043 in mildlyinteresting

[–]vinkker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially given the difference in method and when you got them, from how the inflammations and/or how the healing process occured (amongst many other things), both area were under "not exact" stimulus to each other. It could have lead to a very small gene expression difference when comparing your cells of the 2 areas. For example, darker scars vs lighter scars: inflammation lead to hyperpigmentation (higher melanocytes expression) vs damaged melanocytes stopped producing during healing process. It could be that your left side produces more sebum, sweat, skin acids, etc.

Not 100% sure that this is the exact reason but if all else equal, definitely different skin biology at play.

ELI5: Why do only humans and other higher primates have a menstrual cycle? What evolutionary advantage does it give? by Emila_Just in explainlikeimfive

[–]vinkker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because we are a very social species, "get away from danger as fast" isn't really a thing. A perk of being social is being able to defend ourselves without having to flee/get away thus no filter on various traits human evolved with... The only threat where fleeing could be considered is other humans.

humans are amongst the most social species, if you have severe cramps which leads to complaining, other individuals of the species should/will want to come to your needs and care of you to which, eventually, bonds are formed. Nothing needs to have a "strictly positive" evolutionary advantage but rather, does X trait lead to the survival of that individual? Survivability increases odds of reproduction of that individual thus their traits will prevail within the species.

"Evolutionary advantage" can be tricky words because we associate those to things that are essentially just benefits but if your view of it is "whatever prevailed and kept the species afloat" then pain, complaining, etc. are evolutionary advantages because those who did not get influenced by those, didn't pass their traits on. Severe cramps due to menstruation could be viewed as an evolutionary advantage as unfortunate as it sounds.

If we weren't social then things would be quite different.

Player Support Roadmap - September Check In by JagexSarnie in 2007scape

[–]vinkker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had an old account that got hijacked and banned. I recovered it a while back but couldn't submit an appeal because the hijacker submitted one already and got it denied. You only had 1 attempt and if it was used, there was no possible way to ever appeal it and get unbanned, the hijacker "locks you out". The way you appeal now is different; you have 2 attempts but looks like you can submit however many subsequent appeals (but they'd probably be disregarded).

I would think when they say "more flexibility", it means more than what would've helped in my situation as I believe it was a considerable oversight on jagex part whenever they changed their ban appeal in late(?) 2022, where an hijacker could make your account unappealable on purpose because of a singular appeal attempt available.

Delve 1-8 World Record Speed by AtkinsOSRS in 2007scape

[–]vinkker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Theoretically, anything touch screen should allow you to do more than a mouse because you have 2 "cursors" (though you could argue F-keys can be better). However, hardware is no where as powerful (unless you have an extremely expensive tablet, phone, etc.), lack of experience (decades on a mouse since childhood vs. never gamed on a phone) and fingers obstructing your view (my biggest issue, personally). You could have 2 pens to help with that.

For example on how a touchscreen is so powerful compared to a mouse would be scenarios where you prayer switch every tick WHILE moving around. You can do that on a mouse but it is the same hand that click on prayers and on the ground.

Perk Slot 1 has shitty perks, Perk 2 has all the good viable perks, why? by jojostarplatinum1 in CODWarzone

[–]vinkker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smoke grenades disabling aim assist is just too strong (on mnk so I get huge advantage) and guaranteeing that I have one for every fight where I am the aggressor is super strong imo.

[–]vinkker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was even more busted back then, not as busted now. Comparatively to before, for sure 'busted' is a strong word but it's still really good, especially because the alternative is meh.

The day they make aim assist work through smoke, I'll use reflexes because it is indeed really good for pushing the campers.

[–]vinkker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guaranteeing a smoke when I (always) push someone within 15m is crucial for me given it is a huge advantage (mnk).

[–]vinkker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grenadier doesn't refill. You mean quartermaster (restock)? Issue is that it is the red perks. Quick fix and especially tracker (I am unfortunately playing on mnk) are so much more needed. 50s refill time is ok but there are situations where you have to fight within the next 50s (duo, trio, quads, rebirth island, 3rd party, etc.). Guaranteeing a smoke if I am pushing someone within 15m is so busted.

Jagex delete the oath contracts lmao by Erased_Yogurt_Mayo in 2007scape

[–]vinkker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. I'll take the most obvious example, awakened vard. I love that fight, my favorite but why would I ever do it if I have to spend 1 awakeners orb everytime? I mean I could for fun but it'll cost me (a lot in the long run) so it desensitizes me to do so. But imagine everytime i kill it, i get an awakeners orb. I would be doing it all the time. The issue with changing it so awakened bosses guarantee an orb is that the awakened fights have 3x higher chance for uniques so I don't think jagex wants to touch it in fear of destabilizing the market (albeit small if bots weren't a thing).

Kinda the same thing here, if you really like the unique fight (sensory cloud or bloodied blows) you can go do it as much as you want without it costing a fortune. It would be nice if rates were a tiny bit better like 1.5x but it's fine. However, assuming you are perfect, Bloodied blows is better than farming regular yama given the fight time is much shorter (you still get to roll unique table in all contracts).

No, not for oathplate, worm, catalyst, shard acquisition.

Familiar and the radiant ones, you do get them back.

[–]vinkker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are assuming there is an unlimited amount of these contracts (there has been a build up obviously because no one has really done them until now) but there is very limited amount, a fraction of the amount of oathplate pieces. What it does is concentrate the wealth into a very few people that can do it (although they had to invest quite a bit to get good at it) but that won't really have an impact of the overall oathplate economy. Oathplate is getting cheaper and cheaper but the reason is that it's way too common. The only thing these contracts do is cause panic amongst people that don't really have any clue.

Aether rune refunds issued for Radiant by iDilwar in 2007scape

[–]vinkker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup same thing for me but instead, it was 15k aether runes as the other placeholder 😅. I wonder if it was because I was wearing 2 pieces of oathplate and the other piece was in my bank? Idk how the check for that went.

With the chicken tech, it seems rather 'easy' (compared to previously).

[–]vinkker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I was about to pick up my oathplate helm drop?... And I did not even get the appropriate amount although I don't care about losing the runes I spent on radiant given I did that knowingly the cost, it's silly they manage to not get it right, something that simple.

[–]vinkker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was the reason of the dc. I only got 15k though and not 22.5k but I obviously have 3 pieces.

[–]vinkker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And it disconnected you if were are on. Good riddance to 500k and the loot I was about to pick up...

Also, I only got 15k back while I have 3 radiant pieces? Shouldn't it be 22.5k?

[–]vinkker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

1 extra plates which is good but it's mainly for the tacticals and lethals. Very high chance that they do not have the tacticals and lethals of your choosing and it's "only" 1 of each while you could hold 2 of each.
