well it's definitely better than the ad hawk solution i was using but nope it doesn't help. this is a sanctions issue. it seems like all services related to jagex accounts are blocked but otherwise everything else like the game server themselves are not blocked. jagex is really shitty about customer service i don't even know who to complain to about this. it looks like it's been going on for some time i just haven't noticed because i wasn't playing the game.
i would, but unfortunately the login service is now blocking my country for reasons (probably the default of their infrastructure they didn't bother to change). i foolishly thought the problem was with my account being legacy, so i upgraded to a jagex account but now not only their launcher doesn't have native support for linux, I can't even launch the launcher because it fails to initialize without contacting the login service, so i can't even trick it to launch the game with runelite. it's bullshit.
to be clear i expect this bullshit from american live service games but:
there was some login issues a few days ago maybe they accidentally blocked us when fixing it. i guess I'll complain about it in their discord but i don't expect anything out of it.
i agree posters are sick as hell but unfortunately this magazine was before my time. the aforementioned posters are still up. it just that they have been aging for the past decade so they don't look too good.
the 24 news cycle website style journalism really lacks the excitement of biweekly magazines with sick ass posters. you can just forget about it for 2 weeks then get excited for new releases and have a cool ass poster on your wall. i wish we could go back on this front.
they've released their entire archive a few years back if you're wondering what they looked like: https://www.dbazi.com/magazine-archives
and if you can't view them because you don't understand persian or site design, skill issues.
one of the first if not the first iranian video game magazine called Donya ye Bazi (world of gaming). sadly they stopped publication 10 years ago now it's just a website with very low effort articles that's not worth following.
most of the issues came with a poster of upcoming releases, usually the cover art. i had a family member that covered the entirety of their walls with them. the magazine itself wasn't anything out of this world, but it was something new.
what i like about olympics is that every time there's something even slightly controversial people have to mention Michael Phelps. let the dude be the goat of swimming in peace.
very inaccurate measure for piracy. for countries with average low uplink speeds most of them use hosting sites rather than torrent. this is basically a map of how good your internet quality of service is times your population.
the life and suffering of sir brante. it's basically a choose your own adventure book but a little bit more complicated. it's a russian game and the world building is good so give it a try.
a true g@mer™ never works, they only play shitty live service games and complain about women and gender in their games.
