- Comment on RuneScape's monthly membership now costs as much as a World of Warcraft subscription as Jagex announces its second price hike in less than 2 years 1 day ago:
As a player who played RS2 back in 2004, and quit with the combat rework. Started playing OSRS in 2018, and tried RS3 last year. RS3 feels too cluttered with bullshit to feel nice to play. Everywhere you go, there’s some shiny, sparkling bunch of content doing everything it can to drop everything you’re going, and try it instead. It feels claustrophobic with the amount of crap littered literally everywhere. Like playing “ADHD the game”.
The graphics don’t really matter to me, but if they did, OSRS has graphical options, like the 117 HD mod, the HD client, and coming soon-ish (probably(maybe)) the new official client with a HD rework.
I don’t see what RS3 supposedly has, that would want me to play it, instead of OSRS.

Tbf to Jagex. An RS or OSRS character doesn’t need an alt in the same way you need to be able to have different builds in WOW.

Success corrupts I suppose. Or is it another of those games with a completely different team doing the sequal?

If you’re working under shareholders who don’t respect your artistic integrity, you’re not getting any artistic freedom anyway.

The artists don’t really have to make it an option if they don’t want to.

That’s like saying “you shouldn’t mod games, 'cause that’s not what the dev intended”. Idgaf what the dev/chef intended, if I like mods in my burger, I’m gonna season it to my liking.

How do you allegedly get stabbed? Like, are they missing evidence that she was stabbed? Are they not sure she was stabbed? Can’t they just look for, idk, a stab wound?
- Comment on Tesla is exiting consumer space because Self-Driving has hit the same fundamental limits as LLMs 2 weeks ago:
As much as I am a big fan, and user of public transportation, saying it’s just because billionaires don’t want trains is a bit disingenuous in my opinion. A car is simply much more convenient than public transportation. If I wanted to go to burger king from my house, right now, I could walk 5 minutes to the train station, jump on the train, take that for about 2 minutes to the next station, jump off and walk another 10 minutes to burger king. So like, 17-ish minutes. If I went there to get takeaway for both me and my wife her food would be cold before coming back, even if we live in a scenario where the trains match up perfectly as to avoid any waiting times at the station.
Lets call it a roundtrip of 35 minutes just to get a burger. Again, assuming that the trains, because they are so incredibly wellfunded in this scenario, that I can step on a train pretty much any time I need, instead of the hour it is at the moment.
If I were to take my car, the same distance would take me 5 minutes. So a roundtrip of 10 minutes.
When I take the train to work, I need to bring my bike along because trains don’t stop in front of the factory. Time from set off to arrival is about 45 minutes. In my car I can get there in 15 minutes. That’s 60 minutes of wasted time per day.
My point is, taking trains is not going to work for a whole lot of people, and brushing them and their needs off because of it isn’t going to solve anything.

Mine pass the surrounding noise through the microphone and back through the buds so I can hear my surroundings much better than if I wasn’t wearing them.

Blueprints don’t fail, people really really often do though. People measure wrong, or build on the wrong side of the line they’ve drawn. It’s not a question about “Is it essential”, it’s a question about “Will it make it easier, faster and less errorprone”.

I’ve worked in construction, and now work as a CAD specialist, so I know your pain, but the problem with “how to actually put a building together” is a very wide issue, also present with engineers and architects.
- Comment on Floating turbine towers above — the S1500 hovers to harvest wind at 131 feet 3 weeks ago:
I read an article about it a while ago, and that said it’d be tethered to the ground, and power would be transfered through the tether.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
It would be incredibly useful in construction. Having a digital overlay telling you exactly where to put up the framing for a separating wall, or an overlay showing the correct distance between screws, or where wires and pipes are inside a wall? There are so incredibly many awesome possible uses for AR in construction.

My vacuum is unfortunately connected to the internet. It doesn’t seem to have a clue what my house looks like though. It keeps fucking up the map, rotating it and then tries to drive through walls to get to non excisting rooms.

- Comment on Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST 4 weeks ago:
I used to care quite a lot about graphics, but as the years have passed, I find graphically beautiful games less pleasing than a lot of the older games. It all seems too rounded and smooth now. I’ve been playing a lot of Project Diablo 2 lately, but when the new character dropped for Diablo 2 Resurrected, I figured I should give that a shot. While the graphics are definately nice, and the gameplay is smooth, I prefer the older graphics, because the griddy, slightly pixelated world adds so much to the dark and gloomy theme.
I’ve also just absolutely had it with every single Unreal Engine game looking exactly the same. Did the devs just lose all individual artistry?
Sometimes less is just more.
- Comment on Why this school will ditch a shirt, tie and blazer from its uniform 4 weeks ago:
There was no doubt in my school in NZ who was poor and who wasn’t, based on how someone’s clothes fit them or how worn they were. The youngest in a poor family would have some very worn clothes that had been passed down from their siblings. Often 2 sizes too big or too small.

Let me guess, if it isn’t in 100% mint condition when you return it, you get to pay for it, including a service fee of 150€ for their inconvenience.

- Comment on Embark would like you all to play nice in Arc Raider's temporary PvE event Shared Watch, which starts today 5 weeks ago:
Which is what always seems to happen (The cheaters). That or a shitty matchmaking system that throws you against people who practically live in the game. I’m just not about to try to compete against people like that. I have a life. I don’t mind pvp games. But it’s not going to be something where I actually lose progress when I get fucked by some 12 year old.

I was hoping it would become what they were trying to sell, but I had every expectation of it becoming everything that is wrong about MMOs. The biggest sign was demanding $100 for people to be alpha testers. You should be paying people that instead.
