yeah associating the promotions/updates/social etc tags with the "please don't train your shitty GenAI tool on my inbox" thing is so dumb and punitive.

Every game composer has a signature instrument

Uematsu has the Hammond B3 Organ
Mitsuda has the Fretless bass
Kirkhope has what can only be called the "Fat Guy Tuba"

Paint.NET is free, much lighter weight than something like GIMP, but still fully featured. perfect for this kind of shitposting

bonus XP sucks ass too but I think they are saying that if they get an overwhelming response to this poll it might eventually go too

distinguishing between NUP, NUP-hard, and NUP-complete problems based on how trivial the answer is to verify in unc time

There's an extremely irritating mainstream reddit opinion that's like:

"Tipping culture allows employers to exploit their employees and not pay them a living wage" [true]

"Therefore, you shouldn't tip because you're supporting an exploitative system" [moronic, punishing the people being exploited]

great game, did you already play Void Stranger? (next game from the same dev and it also rules)

had some other folks point me to this in addition to Emma, looks great! currently working on the script for the RS3 sequel to my "OSRS is Awesome, and Here's Why" essay--I'll be sure to shout out your video in it!

both of these are true and also GenAI is a Revenge Project by Capital. They're mad that almost as an accident of history, the early Internet was not their vehicle for pure exploitation.

Microstealing from all the free Art and human writing generated over 3+ decades is their way to take Revenge

love Muse but for awhile now Bellamy's lyrical objective is to make a song that is simultaneously about a scientific concept, a romantic relationship, and vague anti-authoritarianism, but not really committing fully to any of the three

this is one of those heavily-upvoted reddit opinions that always bewilders me. like yeah man tipping culture is bad, employers should pay their employees a living wage. but, like, they don't. you aren't going to stick it to the employer by fucking over the person not presently being paid enough

broke: early osrs is unintentionally sexist because Recruitment Drive just expects the player character to be male without considering the player experience of women

woke: early osrs is based because it forces all men to transition
September 22, 2025 at 3:05 PM
amazing restricted iron concept. you'd be pretty fucked though lol those early quests are rough.

Recruitment Drive where if you play as a male character (as the devs expect) you get a clever puzzle where you have to change your gender, but if you're playing as a woman already there's just no puzzle

a really smart aspect of Secret Hitler: the rule whereby a random policy is enacted (statistically likely to be fascist) if the liberals fail to successfully elect *someone*, reflecting the reality of liberal obsession with Procedure at the expense of all else

My entire RS3 playthrough is just an endless stream of these moments. "Why the fuck am I bumping into Zamorak while training Archaeology".

The game's a disaster (rs3 essay script is already longer than the original essay btw)
