안녕하세요!
Some RuneScape private server called August lmao.
Also been playing some Battle for Middle Earth online with the fam: bfmeladder.com
Ok so the two main points:
I think the first one is obvious: Meta is a US company. If you want to see the inverse, check out WeChat.
The second is a case is an extension of the first, where the US is saying “bad people doing the right thing is fine”.
Free RuneScape I shill 2009scape.org but there’s others. I know there’s free WoW, Maplestory, and pretty much every other popular MMO as well
I would say play whichever era you played in the past :P. If you played RuneScape classic, OpenRSC (the 2003 remake) is the best, otherwise 2009scape is a good shout. You could also check out 2004scape.org, their beta starts soon
Shout out to the open source Runescape remakes
https://rsc.vet/ - 2003 era remake
https://2009scape.org - 2009 era remake
https://darkan.org/ - 2012 era remake
There are other open source remakes (2004, 2006) but they’re not as popular. I’ve actually contributed upstream to all 3 of the above, it’s a very nice community!
Kids make maps. Stuff in the maps is sold for Roblox bucks. Roblox bucks cost money to buy. The kid who makes the map gets the Roblox bucks, and can sell them. The problem is you only get 30% back when you sell a Roblox buck.
So kids spend time making big maps and servers, buying ads, getting shoutouts on YouTube/whatever, and Roblox takes a 70% cut from all of it
As someone who rehosts an old game after the official servers shutdown, we have a dedicated servers for cheating and real moderators for the non-cheat ones. It works great but big corps don’t way to pay for mods.
I also wonder why big companies don’t do it to train ML algorithms on the cheat server data too…
Valve has been nice to Linux users, but Sweeny has excellent points. What Apple does is ridiculous, and it’s disrespectful to see Valve give the big players better deals than the indie devs.
Epic contributing to Linux would be real nice, but they can’t seem to piece together where the vocal minority hold out is coming from.
Impressive, he’s still going
