Merry greetings, wrap up warm :3
In spirit of the 2007scape threads, we’re here on Lemmy, MK IV!
Post your achievements, goals, shenanigans, thoughts on new updates, and so on!
I’ll start, still healing up on the broken shin, finding a place to live, life is starting to look up! Slowly reaching 99 slayer (10 Hydras from 96!) after which I will resume my rightful place as being a ToB nut ;)
I was a massive plonker and chucked my scythe so started back from nil again, which is a feeling I’m quite acquainted with. A week in of mobile only (since my laptop broke!), and a lot of herb runs, hydra and abusing elves and I’m back at 50m+ now…
However, fear not, I have devised a dastardly plan to turn myself into a hydra bot; I snagged a Steam Deck! Does anyone have any cool tips/tricks for running Runelite on it?
I’m very familiar with Linux but was wondering how much I could push myself PvM wise with it (as much as I can on 20 def). Still it seems like having all the features of RuneLite whilst being able to play anywhere seems awesome, as well as being able to use it as a full blown pc with the dock. A very nice piece of kit indeed :)
As regarding updates, I’ve been out of the loop a bit, anything interesting? As a Pure I sometimes miss some of Main and Iron spectacles.
Cheers, Ew0
(TIP: If you’re poor get 85 thieving and go pickpocket elves. You’ll be rich. Also if you want a few free deaths for deaths coffer everyday, make some moonlight mead :)
Interesting, that’s nice to know they’re not just being obstinate… I wonder what license lets them use it for Mac but not Linux. Thanks!
Mac has a lot more proprietary libraries not available on Linux, which is why you’ll see a lot of software supported on Mac but not Linux. My understanding of it at least, so just a lot more work to get it going on Linux universally.
Makes sense. Bit of a shame really, I’m not using a Jagex Account until they force it on me to be honest, there’s no BSD support either!
Not saying they need to cater for the 5 people who play on BSD but open-source/cross-platform stuff would have been nicer to deal with.
I do still play from time to time on my old Thinkpad running OpenBSD, no sound, no GPU plugin. Maybe I’ll port it over one day! :p
Jagex launcher is super nice because you don’t need to enter your password every time, it’s just the mobile login button which is super nice. But ya I, feel you, I have a few Linux machines I just tinker around on and have runelite on and it would be nice if they were to open source the jagex launcher so I don’t have to type my damn password every time I afk timeout :)
Yeah, agree but the issue here is, what happens when their non-native implementation for Linux goes kaput? i guess we’ll be having to run Windows or Android VMs!
There’s tons of FOSS auth stuff but apparently Jagex isn’t clued in enough…
That’s pretty much my worry. I would be fine if they e.g. release their “official” lutris script or something, because at least then I would trust that they might be willing to fix issues if something comes up. But now that they are pretty much saying that they won’t support Linux in any way, but you might try these solutions on your own risk, it doesn’t really make me want to use them.
Yep. Oh well we still have kvm/qemu…
