- Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it 2 months ago:
There, I fixed it. It took me a while to understand what the problem was but I figured it out.
- Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it 2 months ago:
The Reddit community is part of the reason I stopped playing RuneScape a few years ago. The in-game community was fine for the most part, as players would mostly keep to themselves or just talk with their own groups. But the subreddit would get super offended/aggressive towards each other for the stupidest things and the mods always seemed to make things worse.
I’ve always been of the believe that all online games with subscription services should always be $60 a year at most. If you do the math, $60 a year per player is way more than what single-player games make and maintaining/updating online games doesn’t require as much work either.
And yes, I’m aware of the whole thing with the bonds and how they technically allow you to play the game for free but, at least compared to the old prices, they aren’t as efficient as just buying a member and Jagex makes more money off of them. So, I still think that Jagex shouldn’t change the membership prices.
- Comment on Microsoft begins cracking down on people dodging Windows 11's system requirements 2 months ago:
The thing that I don’t understand is that, if this is such a big problem for Microsoft, why not just remove the system requirements or at least make an alternative version of Windows 11 that, even if it lacks certain features, doesn’t have those requirements?
Microsoft wants people to switch to Windows 11 but a majority stay with Windows 10 because their systems don’t have what’s required and they’re either not willing to use Linux or they can’t for what ever their reason is. Making Windows 11 more accessible to Windows 10 users would fix this problem for most users but they’re not for some reason. I know they’re Microsoft and Microsoft doesn’t care about their users but they’re seemingly willing to lose a significant portion of their users over something so insignificant, which is out of character for Microsoft.
- Comment on Good game soundtracks? 3 months ago:
I can provide some examples if you are looking for something specific but to list some games that haven’t been mentioned yet, there:
The Touhou games along with the remixes/covers and fan games like the two “Touhouvania” games.
Most of the Castlevania games.
Most of the Sonic games and fan games like Sonic After the Sequel and SRB2.
And to go with something really obscure, Chaos Legion.
- Comment on Do other languages have similar acronyms to 'tbh', 'imo', 'smh', etc? 4 months ago:
One that I’m aware of is “tskr” in Japanese. It’s a slang term that derives from たすかる (tasukaru). The meaning depends on the context and it can mean something like either “you saved me” or “thanks for helping me”.

Doesn’t this violate HIPAA, or does HIPAA not cover this?
- Comment on Are there any games like Diablo but not Diablo because Diablo? 8 months ago:
I’m not sure if you are looking for anything on a specific system/console but I have a few suggestions. The first one being Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance and it’s sequel. Eternium looks pretty good, especially for a game that was originally exclusive to mobile. I unfortunately can’t say much about these games because I have yet to play them for an extended period of time but I have played them enough to know that they are at least similar to the Diablo game.
I am also aware of some other games that might be worth checking out but I’m not sure how close to the Diablo games you are looking for and they are quite different from the Diablo games.
- Comment on What multiplayer games having singleplayer/offline mods? 10 months ago:
I know it’s technically not a mod but most older versions of RuneScape can be played “offline” by creating a personal private server. Everything from RSC to HDScape can have private servers but I don’t think I’ve seen private servers for RS3.
- Comment on People who dont particularly care for or celebrate Christmas, Whats your favorite Christmas song? 10 months ago:
Ring The Bells - Eurobeat Union
For some reason the only real version I could find on YouTube is the first song in Zenki’s [www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkqtj-mn87A](Christmas Touhou Eurobeat Mix) and it’s kind of ironic because it’s the only song in that mix that is actually Christmas related.
- Comment on How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone? 11 months ago:
I always use mine, the audio delay that bluetooth headphones have make them almost useless for me. I’m also not a fan of the fact that they either make loud noises or have some form of a voice to tell you when it’s either connected to a device or got a low battery.
- Comment on What moment from a video game made you cry? 11 months ago:
There have actually been a lot of games that have made me cry over they years. Some of the ones I remember are: Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, 3 and Peace Walker Kingdom Hearts 1, 2, BBS, Re:Coded and 358/2 days Final Fantasy 10 and (obviously) Crisis Core Castlevania Order of Ecclesia
I’m pretty sure there are more but I can’t really remember any others. I’ve kind of always been very sensitive to emotional things, so a lot of games get at least a tear or two but the ones I mentioned were games that I remember being wrecked after playing.
- Comment on Plex Users Fear New Feature Will Leak Porn Habits to Their Friends and Family 11 months ago:
I’ve never heard of Plex until now, what kind of porn does it actually have? I can’t imagine it being any different from Netflix unless they allow some really “hardcore” stuff.
- Comment on Microsoft won’t let you close OneDrive on Windows until you explain yourself 1 year ago:
I know that this is just Microsoft trying get user feedback but because it’s Microsoft, it still seems bad. It’s just seems so disingenuous when a company like Microsoft, that usually ignores all user feedback, tries to get user feedback for a product that, if they actually listened to user feedback, they would already know that a majority of Windows users don’t want.
