Everyone left after EOC and now those that returned play OSRS.

When I started playing OSRS last June I checked the player count that evening, 10k players in RS3 and 90k in OSRS.

The game has turned into one giant “limited time” event mill, and many of the new places are missing things like cute examine texts that gave it soul.

Sad

It definitely is, but these recent years have seen more and more unfinished games pushed to the finish line with game breaking bugs and missing content, all while charging AAA prices.

Capitalism is what it is, a metric for “success” cannot just mean you are profitable, you must be more profitable each year. Thus the enshitification of everything continues.

It is becoming difficult to “pay more for quality” as the quality of every publicly traded brand is the first thing that suffers when they are pushed to make more profits each year.

Good! Delay it til 2030! I am tired of unfinished games being released leaving angry gamers to abuse the devs who put their heart and soul into it. The only ones who win are the studios.

I missed the discussion on voting the other day it seems, but for what it’s worth, I like the voting system. In real life discussions happen in open air, and don’t hang there in posterity for people to stumble upon after. When we come to a consensus in conversation it is then left at that and we move on.

When online, these discussions stay as they are, and I think voting gives a way of people to come to a consensus, to leave a mark upon the conversation such that the people who come behind understand how everyone felt about it.

This is helpful I think, because it does not hide the down votes on nasty comments or ideas that hurt others.

One of the most interesting and horrible things about the internet is that every village has a “crazy Bob” but because they were the minority the good of the people outnumbered their outlandish or hateful ideas.

Now they can and do find each other online, forming a vocal and damaging minority. Without the majority able to show their dislike, human nature means more will fall in line with them and their ideals.

Yes, I want to see a tactical whip!

Which Lenovo laptop, if you don’t mind me asking? I know there are Lenovo laptops with Linux support, but I am on a Lenovo Legion Slim 5, and I have heard there are quite a few issues that would need to be sorted.

Wait wait… So his supporters are on a witch hunt for anyone who made assassination jokes… but they can sell these sneakers?

Also the fact that these exist at all is … just surreal. I don’t understand. What is this timeline?

This is really sad all around. Sex isn’t supposed to happen in prison, but it happens in men’s and women’s facilities. The fact that this person was only vilified and transferred to a men’s facility after someone at the DOC leaked the investigation documents and an article was run dead naming her and implying she was a predator is so wrong.

Only because Google purposely crippled itself…

I think I am in love with whoever wrote this site.

People have commented that it’s crazy that I have completely disabled all updates on my win10 machine. This sort of thing is why.

Edit: I haven’t had a virus or malware since… I was a teenager. It seems like if you use an adblocker, don’t click links from unknown sources, and are aware of your network activity, you are pretty safe. The writing is on the wall, I am aware that I will need to switch to Linux soon, but I am also aware that Linux has compatibility issues with my particular machine and doesn’t work with certain activities I like to do. I am hoping these issues will be mostly sorted by the time I make the leap.

No fucking thank you, I have long since completely neutered my pc’s ability to update. I updated enough to install drivers and get it stable, and that’s it. I don’t trust windows.
