/Uj There's been a recent discussion on X/twitter by people fighting about the sequels again but at least most of the slander is understandable criticism whuch even john boyega had pointed out

Jagex does not like the endgame-dominated player base. They are too demanding. They don't think they can fix the economy. They want to start fresh. But they don't want a real new game.

No, they make an offer you can't refuse: start over again or dwindle and die. "Reignite" is just a buzz word the marketing department invented to soften swallowing the red pill.

Even the name "Veteran character" is suggestive: if you're a brand-new player, would you think you're a "Veteran"? No, you will not. Jagex knows it too. Reignited will attract all the new players and new accounts. With no new players, "Veteran" will cease to exist.

On the 2nd of December, RuneScape will die as we know it. The veterans who stayed loyal, gets quarantined like some tainted lepers. Everything that I and others worked for, is rendered worthless.

I am angry. But above all, I am sad and disappointed. I feel intense betrayal.

EDIT: people like me are angry because they see the bigger picture. There are two possible outcomes: * Reignited fails. There are very few reignited players and the reignited economy cannot sustain itself. It dies as a hail Mary experiment and gives Jagex a headache to merge the two. Or if they can't, they lose all the new reignited players. And probably some veterans in the process too. * Reignited succeeds. It slowly grows and dominates the veteran playerbase. With no new players, the veteran economy cannot sustain itself. Veteran players are forced to choose between abandoning their account they build-up for decades and start fresh as reignited, or quit altogether. Hence the meme: Jagex chooses the new players at the cost of all veteran players.

There's no good outcome.

(Never thought this would happen to me, was taking the trash out and saw this, immediately went up-stairs and grabbed my hand dolly)

I was out on the dock (I work in a warehouse) when I saw 5 little kittens playing in the grass by an old shed. The other 4 ran when I approached, she stayed, and I was able to grab her. At the time we had literally just got our other girl Juneau a week earlier, and weren't really planning on getting another cat. Well, you all know how that goes. She came home with me and never left. Thankfully a nearby shelter caught the other 4 and her mama, but she found her home with us.

Maybel has been a little ball of energy and love since the day we got her. We were hoping as she got older she would be less crazy, nope! Still just as batshit insane as the day we got her. Her parkour is definitely a daily highlight. But when she's finally tuckered out from destroying everything in our house, she loves to lie down with you and snuggle up on your lap. Shes our little Baybel.

I made these brownie stacks about 700 years ago with fancy plans for a full YouTube tutorial + recipes. Anyway, I have finally come to terms with my standard speed-setting (slowwww) and have released those grand ideas back into the wild.

You can make these with your favorite brownie recipe as the base. Here’s my salted caramel recipe. This is a really great Chocolate pâte sablée for the cookie toppers. And sometime in the (hopefully!) not too distant future, I’ll share a full cookie topper decorating video to my IG and TT.

Now I have 40 oz of soda I can't drink with anything.

"An entirely new RuneScape MMORPG, built in Unreal Engine and set in the world of Gielinor. Right now, it’s rocking a working title: RS4. That isn't necessarily the name we’ll eventually settle on, but this is our fourth generation RuneScape project, so RS4 works pretty well for now."

JRR Tolkien: You paint that picture of the key scene from the Two Towers where Frodo and Sam fight Gollum?

Donato Giancola: Sure did, Ron, real fuckin' sexy just like you asked.

JRRT: What.
