That's awesome news! Wasn't aware of this.

Can we have Bloodborne and the Demon Souls Remake too? I realise From Software is probably busy right now, but I like this trend where everyone is realising console exclusivity is a stupid concept.

Mainly out of genuine interest: Do you apply specific criteria when selecting which countries to host free servers in? (That you're willing to share, obviously)

I imagine it might not always be a case of evidence of prior cases of politically motivated interference. Some countries may face concerns about possibly starting that trend due to current leadership. In which case, what signals would you look for? (Again, only if willing to share)

Satellite forums sounds like a very specific hobby, but I can't quite tell which one:

  • forums where all the remote sensing / OSINT / geospatial nerds gather.
  • forums for satellite broadcast enthousiasts.
  • forums for discussion on space exploration and satellites carrying scientific equipment or actual satellite astronomical bodies.
  • forums that are called satellite forums as some form of jargon I am about to learn about for the first time.

What are people into these days?

De formatie wordt mogelijk bewust gerekt om een eventuele stembusgang zo lang mogelijk te voorkomen. Ik ben er redelijk van overtuigd dat VVD en PvdA-GL nooit gezamenlijk tot een begroting of zelfs maar een bestuurlijk programma gaan komen.

En op basis van de huidige zetelverdeling kom je over links met geen mogelijkheid aan een meerderheid als je de drie grote onwaarschijnlijke partners (PVV, VVD, BBB) niet meeneemt of laat gedogen.

We kunnen allemaal rekenen, dus dan hou je toch echt als strategische zet over om de formatie te rekken in de hoop dat de peilingen gaan verschuiven.

"Stem voor de partij die echt voor Nederland is en geen nep partij"

Voor kiezers die dat ècht geloven heb ik nog wel een interessante maaltijdbox in de aanbieding.

Yeah, which is why there is no way to explain the original post other than being the ramblings of a madman.

Het lijkt erop dat ze dat niet ècht menen. Anders hadden we al een kabinet gehad. De centrum-rechtse constructie is gewoon haalbaar, maar de VVD lijkt eigenlijk niet de handen aan Wilders te willen branden. Ik heb af en toe de indruk dat de VVD denkt dat ze nog steeds de grootste zijn.

Een ding is zeker, alleen PVV en BBB staan ècht te springen om in deze constructie te gaan regeren. En dan kan je als VVD of NSC twee dingen doen:

  • de formatie bewust laten klappen en mikken op een betere onderhandelingspositie in het vervolg.
  • toch gaan regeren in een constructie die je mogelijk op flinke imagoschade onder je kiezers kan komen te staan.

De reden dat er nu voor de middenweg gekozen wordt ontdek je al snel als je nu naar de peilingen kijkt. Bij nieuwe verkiezingen is er een kans dat Wilders in zijn eentje of samen met de BBB een kabinet kan vormen, en daar is iedereen zich goed bewust van.

I imagine this makes perfect sense to people who are not tech savy, which is the primary demographic for selling a laptop that's basically an iPad.

Then again, I know 94-year olds capable of grasping the concept of SHIFT and CAPS LOCK. So yeah, drunk marketing statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged.

Having carried over an account from the original RS2 back in the day all the way over to modern RS3, getting multiple 99's, and now currently exploring all that OSRS has to offer, I bet I'm one of those crazy enough to grind out all the things in real life too.

I still consider properly implemented progression systems (where you're always working towards the next thing) one of the more enjoyable and rewarding game mechanics. And I find there are too few games out there that actually implement them correctly. Most prominent examples I can think of are RuneScape and Terraria. There is just something about progressing through the tiers and experiencing all the different shinies that come with them.

But you probably know this, otherwise you wouldn't be working on this app. :P

Wow, this is awesome! Definitely going to consider supporting this, looks like a lot of fun for just moving around.

As a long time RuneScape player, this is exactly the kind of stuff I want to see more of.

Are you in contact with Jagex at all? They have a history of actually supporting "community projects", best possible analogy to this being Melvor Idle, which is officially recognised and published by Jagex. And they're also known for supporting mental and physical health causes. Seems like the perfect game to form some kind of partnership on.

We actually had a champion for a while. So far he hasn't really achieved the original goal, but that doesn't mean that the dream is dead.

Heck, if he doesn't do it, I will! We need capes back in fashion. Either subtle renaissance style fashionable shoulder capes or full blown cloaks that can double as blankets in a pinch.

Been rocking a Fulton umbrella ever since my last cheapo umbrella broke.

Choice was mostly based on their designs/styles which I really like, but are mostly a matter of taste. The main requirement was either fiberglass or carbon fiber ribs which will not fail unless you're actively trying to destroy them.

Yep, though I feel it is mostly nostalgia.

The game has devolved to a point where only tryhards and boosters (or people paying for boosts) are having any fun. The rest of us having to wade through the toxic waste they leave behind. The game feels like middle management having control of all the resources and if you're in a lower position you get screwed over.

Ahead of the Curve achievements, gear scores, raider.io, simulationcraft, DBM, perpetually unbalanced classes and specs and mechanics interviews over Discord have ruined the game to a point where I no longer feel I can play the way I want to. Rushing to the point where you're ready to raid and then spend hours reading strategy guides, configuring DBM, applying to groups, is not a fun way to experience end game content while basically skipping all the storylines, and everything that makes the world feel like an actual world.

And most of it is just symptoms, it used to be that bosses had relatively simple mechanics and raids were there to experience crucial battles in the story. People used to just get a group together and try defeating a raid, not too worried about failure. Nowadays people are obsessed with managing away risks of failure.

Being kicked from a group halfway through because your spec has slightly lower DPS for the specific encounter while topping the damage done charts in others is the kind of bullshit that I won't deal with anymore.

Actually engaging with the end game content feels like applying for an entry level position where they require 10 years of previous experience to even qualify.
