People meme on websites like facebook but redditors have some of the lowest text comprehension skills out there.

At least on facebook i know the coment is dumb because it's writting like a boomer, unlike reddit where it appears it's a smart coment, but has no actual thought put behind it.

Releasing an older, unfinished version of your video, and then waking up to realise that it's the wrong version that it's out there will never be fun.

My face seeing the post, thinking about the joke and seeing that someone else said the exact same thing i was thinking

Oh the irony.

SiLo @socklove.bsky.social · 5d

Oh, and one last thing. Despite so many surveys and the absolute negate image associated with TH, after saying for months they would do something about it, they were still perma farming TH promos.

I still remember the necromancy outfit fiasco. So yeah, just pointing things out.

SiLo @socklove.bsky.social · 5d

Again, to be clear, i'm glad TH is being removed, and it will undoubtablly benefit the game.

But i also think it's important to not all of a sudden believe everything a company has been saying after 15 years of having a shitty system in the game that has hurt thousands of people.

Furthermore, when it comes to investements, companies are willing to have a game on life support. To them, the comunity, the culture and impact of the game don't matter. It's all numbers. And what if they kill the game with bad decisions? THey'll just move on to the next one, and the next one.

A few years ago, when they got involved in court due to the gambling mechanics, they defended themselves stating that they simply weren't gambling mechanics.

They have for years made up excuses about how TH is just there for those who "don't have time to play the game" (BS excuse btw, OSRS is fine)

SiLo @socklove.bsky.social · 5d

Like ultimately, i'm glad this is finally going through, and i don't much care for the reason, but i also don't like people spreading false narratives about the state of the game.

When the CEO decided to remove pride, he did so against overwhelming support from the community and devs.

SiLo @socklove.bsky.social · 5d

I think the removal of TH is positive, but i also think we need to stop being delusional about it.

Let's face it, this is them trying to comply with future laws. The same way that Valve decided to crash the skin market value by 2 billion dollars, it wasn't due to a change of heart.

Not bad for a day of voting.

The thing that is consistently good in RS3 are the modern enviournments.

SiLo @socklove.bsky.social · 5d

Your character has small arms confirmed

SiLo @socklove.bsky.social · 6d

Personally i didn't want the removal of TH for the game to grow again. For that to happen you simply need a good game, and RS3 still has a lot of work to do (even if it will get better since no more MTX bad influence)

I want it gone because it a predatory thing that hurts people.

SiLo @socklove.bsky.social · 6d

On one hand i'm glad they are doing this, on the other: Do we really need 100k votes for this?

(And since we do, please vote :3 secure.runescape.com/m=poll/treas... )

Do you ever play a mobile game so bad that you have to wonder if it's just some experiment because there is simply no way a human being actually came up with those design choices?

Like, i know the mobile game market is bad but holy shit sometimes i still manage to be surprised at the insanity

SiLo @socklove.bsky.social · 6d

Thanks Runescape.

Babe wake up, new software enshitification just dropped.

(being on firefox and getting hit with google stuff is always amazing)

SiLo @socklove.bsky.social · 7d

I do wonder if they lumped me in with those 35% actually because i did show disaproval for selling directly.

In that first survey about TH specifically there was a lot of stuff you didn't have a lot of room to answer how you wanted.

SiLo @socklove.bsky.social · 7d

I need to know who those 35% are

Something i wanted to do for months as a fun thing was to put together a lil compilation of OSRS music that fits the vibe of Sailing, so while we patiently wait for it to drop, here's some songs you can bang to get hyped for it:
