While I’m not against an anonymous stand for what’s “right”, that really was the tipping point for a lot of changes on 4chan.

It really fuelled the idea that anonymous should have some sort of goal of justice rather than just doing things “for the lulz”. It normalized the concept of shamelessly bringing your internet culture of choice out into the real world regardless of appropriateness (most of the protests were really just 4chan irl meetups, not really protests).

The biggest change was the sheer amount of public attention it drew to the site. That brought in a huge influx of new users who didn’t care to conform to the existing board culture (for better or worse). Things changed considerably following all that mess.

Does homeboy not know about crabcakes? All the taste, none of the pain in the ass and paying for the privilege of preparing your own food. Just get them somewhere that doesn’t use filler.

We don’t curse in this household.

Anyway, guessing it’s the classic “sales sold the demo of a perfectly configured setup maintained by a dedicated team, management expects you to make that happen alone on top of everything else you already do” situation? Multiple years into cleaning up the mess of that shit at my place.

That’s a combination of too simple/short in your sentences, mixed with too specific jargon with no clarification. It’s dumb as hell that people don’t know stuff like what a server is, but if they don’t you have to abstract it more.

My go to is some form of: I’m in IT, I do systems administration. I help keep all the things behind the scenes working so that everyone’s stuff works at my workplace. Less of making your email work, more of making everyone’s email work.

Obviously I work with a hell of a lot more than just email. I’m mostly scripting out custom automation jobs to bridge gaps in the integrations between different systems. But like you said, keep it simple.

Where? Unless you’re saying people need to pull over on the shoulder because someone wants to speed in the right hand lane.

DAE think right wing ragebait talking head #4 is a loser? Updoots to the left!

Unfortunately the low effort political tribalism is likely to just increase as we approach the US elections.

Just block and move on. You’ll eventually end up curating your Lemmy experience to not include the type of folks posting low effort shit like this.

This puts it nicely and succinctly. It’s important to remember that the USA has single states larger than some European countries. It’s enormous.

For as much diversity as there is in wherever you are from… just compare the sizes and think a little.

Trying to take pieces of information, even when from reputable news sources, and apply it to the entirety of this massive place with a wildly diverse population like it’s some sort of insider information that magically applies to all or even most is foolish.

Cheating in a multiplayer game is a shitty move, regardless of motivation.

They released safer seas (pvp-less servers) if you don’t want to be hassled.

If child voices bug you (squeakers), go to the options, mute voice chat from non-crewmates. Turn on auto captions for voice chat if you’re worried about missing something or them sneaking up on you because you can’t hear them.

OSRS players are too busy trying to optimize everything down to the game tick.

The model hasn’t changed, but as development of new content has continued, 95% of new content is subscription only.

That said, I can’t speak for Runescape “proper” aka Runescape 3, the current “main” version. I’ve heard a lot of concerning things about all sorts of mobile game style predatory shit going on there.

I’ve only played Runescape 2, now called “Old School Runescape”, which is a fork of the game from (I think) 2006.

Essentially, right around that time they completely overhauled combat, stat progression, and a bunch of other stuff, and called it Runescape 3. A lot of people didn’t like the changes and started hosting custom servers from before the changes.

Eventually they made an official version, called it Old School Runescape, and have been developing it side by side with “normal” Runescape since.

Old School isn’t predatory in my opinion. Outside of occasional “leagues” on special servers with specific challenges applied, there’s no FOMO. The f2p game has plenty of content enjoyable on its own. The subscription just unlocks a mountain of more content, including alternative ways to level up through early game. Technically you can advance faster with a subscription, but that’s due to having more options to turn into an over optimized plan, not some shit exp multiplier or something.

People. What a bunch of bastards.

Honestly that’s most things in life.

The more complex your project, the more likely you are to run into the rough patches or quirks of whatever it is you’re working with.

My man, this isn’t shaming. It’s someone politely pointing out that the entire world isn’t your personal soap box.

Want to speak out about how shit Ubisoft is? Go make your own thread. I’m being serious, Lemmy is overdue for some name and shame of horrendous game companies, and it’d be good to have some sort of megathread documenting their bullshittery here on the fediverse.

This also doesn’t really offer a different perspective on whether the game is enjoyable or not. Your justified distaste for Ubisoft is an entirely different topic to the question asked.

If you’re up for tinkering, there’s a decent bit of mods for ship of harkinian. You can replace models with the 3DS ones, or even with Twilight Princess ones. There’s also mods for higher resolution textures.

Lastly, check out all the settings. I forget what QoL are switched on by default, but there’s a good amount of QoL you can toggle, like putting boots on the d-pad for quick equipping and unequipping so the Water Temple doesn’t suck.

The iron boots mess is fixed in the PC (and etc) recompilation that OP is playing. Ship of Harkinian.

Haven’t played in around a year and a half. Shame, it had been a weekly thing for our little 3 person crew. We had even started to be able to hold our own in PvP ship battles.

Nope, this specific green tinted skeleton is what the game uses as a fallback if there’s some issue with loading or displaying a player model.

The PvP curses look different.

Yep, but this specific green tinted skeleton is what the game uses as a fallback if there’s some issue with loading or displaying a player model.
