Have you heard of Cookie Clicker? It's an idler game where you click a cookie to get points. You can spend those points on upgrades like automated clicking and more points per click. The goal is to get like a billion points or something but with the upgrades you're eventually getting millions of points a second without even clicking. Now imagine saying "I want to hit a billion points without buying a single upgrade. I'm literally just going to click the cookie a billion times." That's what this guy did, but with Old School Runescape.

There's been a trend of extreme OSRS players trying to one up each other in dedicating years of their life to doing a repetitive task for 18 hours a day, every day.

While I agree, the price difference between "maple syrup" (maple flavoured corn syrup) and maple syrup is way more than $5. A bottle of genuine maple syrup is $20+.

The Conservatives need a new direction and a new leader, unless they want to be the government in waiting, waiting and waiting.

They might actually prefer not being in charge. It's easier to complain than it is to govern.

If you want to reach those kids in the streets, you got to do a rap to a hip hop beat!

I think most e-sports kind of games tend to favour the "snowball" model where one team progressively gets more overpowered. One reason I like Rocket League is because even if you're down 3 goals the other team doesn't have any special powerups to maintain their lead. They have to keep playing well. The reason why I dislike Rocket League is because once you're down 3 goals your teammates will rage quit.

This is a commonly repeated myth but it isn't true. Nobody gets a tax write off in point-of-sale fundraising. Charities ask stores to do it because it's one of the most efficient and effective ways for a charity to raise money. Chairty events are costly, and asking people on the street gets a lot of rejection. Stores agree to do it because they get to run ads saying they helped raise millions for charity and the charity will usually shout them out as well.

From the wiki page on the American Bar Association, they seem to mostly be involved in setting academic and ethical standards and don't actually grant or revoke licences.

Young boy search histories are great. I remember when my little brother borrowed my laptop once and when I got it back there was searches on Youtube for "boobs", "big boobs", and "big boobs jumping". Guess he's a boob guy.

So the developers of $20 games are homeless?

 
 

I've recently started using the Boost for Lemmy app on my phone and it's amazing. I was using Liftoff before but I'm switching over. However, I've noticed an issue. When I browse through communities using Liftoff I see a lot more posts and comments than when I use Boost.

I figured this was an issue with Boost at first, but when I used my computer to edit these screenshots I noticed the same thing happens in my browser!

Opening up https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy I see all the posts that Liftoff shows. Of course I'm not logged in since my account is on Lemmy.ca.

When I log into Lemmy.ca and view the community though: https://lemmy.ca/c/[email protected] I only see the posts that Boost shows! Many posts are now missing!

I figured this is an issue with Lemmy.ca blocking stuff. But wait! The most recent post (titled "Bug: Hiding all read posts also hides...") has the URL https://lemmy.world/post/6954944 which, of course, does not allow me to comment on since I'm not logged in. If I search for that post through Lemmy.ca I find the equivalent post with the URL: https://lemmy.ca/post/7377534 which now allows me to comment on it through my Lemmy.ca account.

Does any one know what's going on here? Clearly Lemmy.ca can "see" all the posts in the BoostForLemmy community on Lemmy.world. Even Liftoff manages to show all of them! So why does my browser and Boost for Lemmy not show everything unless I specifically search it out?

 

I made this a while back to use as a background for my phone. What do you think?
