SSX Tricky brought up to PS5 graphics.

This is a very odd and out of touch comment with what the game currently is and what is being produced by the devs. Have you even played it recently? All the new Varlamore region stuff is aimed at early and midgame players.

And yes, the game progresses towards grinding endgame encounters… Like every single MMO ever. If you’re friend is a maxed out account farming for ultra rare drops, I don’t think you can say that what he is doing is “the content the game has to offer for people”. What would you prefer instead? What do you think it should be like, if not this?

I mean… They have grown. The studio is bigger, they don’t have other revenue sources like Blizzard does really (also Activision Blizzard is owned by Microsoft, if you’re worried about a games company being owned by someone else that just wants profit…), and shit costs more now than it did 10 or 20 years ago. I wish it didn’t but inflation is a thing, and that thing affects the food and housing bills of the employees at companies.

For what it’s worth, OSRS has made some absolutely amazing improvements in the last couple years. Almost every single update has hit perfectly with nothing but minor errors or complaints. New expansions and regions, new quests, new raid, weapon and damage rebalances, new bosses, new community events and special game modes, new updates to their clients both mobile and desktop, and most importantly a significantly better bot-busting system over the last few months.

This shit isn’t cheap. That’s a LOT of parallel systems and work, and OSRS continues to have 0 micro transactions outside of membership. True, RS3 and its cesspool of mtx helps fund OSRS, but I don’t know how far that goes since the player count there is stagnant.

Now your opinion and choice to not support a company is always valid, that is up to you. But I don’t think it really is a “bullshit” price increase. I’m OK with OSRS costing $2 more per month if it means that this current cadence of content of QOL updates marches on. Jagex has been absolutely nailing it and I’m very happy with them, and that’s worth money to me.

Steam is literally constantly doing showcase events for different genres of small games.

I’ve heard the hype but I have never played this game. What am I missing out on?

You’re like 5 years late on this realization. Unfortunately not much is changing.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, and I preface this by saying I do not fully understand the ins and outs of game development, though I am a software engineer (just not a game dev).

“Worst MMO Ever” series by Josh Strife Hayes

Birds’ nest.

Solium Infernum as a standalone game is quite fun. I haven’t played TWW3 though, so I couldn’t tell you how similar it is.

Really liked the trailer, added to my wish list. Looks very amusing, I love that type of writing humor.

An explanation from one of the maintainers explaining why they removed the toggle from the UI and try to hide it from users because it’s going to be deprecated eventually:

That must have been it, appreciate the clarification.

I’ve used it in the past, but they are deprecating one-way ignore-delete syncing.

You’re looking for ReVanced.

My understanding of rsync was that it was pretty painfully slow.

I guess maybe too mainline for everyone here but I use an Asus router flashed with the Merlin OS (a painless easy process) and it works excellently. No issues setting up all the things you mentioned.

Kinda low on alternatives with rarbg gone. Any recs?

FitBit will die with the 3rd gen pixel watch, calling it now.

Two things:

• if you’re on Chrome, it won’t work at all. This needs to be on Firefox.
• disable all other ad blockers. Everything. That includes the ad blocker baked into the YouTube enhancer extension.
