It's been going on since and we've been begging for the possibility of bringing RuneScape to mobile platforms for many years. When I first joined the company, I told myself, "when are we going to make this available on mobile devices with OSRS gold so that I can play in the field?" It seemed impossible when I first started due to the fact that it's huge, with tons of content, the UI can be customized and for a long time we were thinking it would be a challenge but what we realized is that the players were extremely resourcefulThey had already devised their own solutions.

We found out that our players were using a program called TeamViewer to play games on phones and tablets, something that copies your desktop to the mobile device. Our players had come up with an alternative to it back in the year 2015. So we decided "we're going to need to fix this.

We upgraded our game engine in the year 2016. that allowed us to fully port the game to mobile. It was the first year we had a working prototype version of the game to play which is why we invited a few players to the Jagex headquarters in Cambridge to try it out and give feedback. The majority of them were very pleased with it, and later we brought it to our fan-festival. It was a fairly preliminary prototype that almost did the trick, but everyone really loved it. In the year 2018 we made it an exclusive members-only version for Android In the years 2019-2021. we switched to an early access version. It has taken our company where we're at today.

So the most significant issue is the UI. People don't like it when I make this claim, but generally talking Old School had fewer challenges to play playing on a mobile device. The UI is quite well-designed while the battle system seems simpler. In the case of RuneScape 3. the most difficult challenge we encountered was taking what players ' experience that is a extremely customizable UI which they can customize according to their preferences and then making it work with a smaller screen.

But, we must also be able to create a visual and a tactile familiar to someone who is coming into mobile from a PC or vice versa. If you've played on a computer for the past 20 years and now suddenly you're on mobile and you're not certain of what buttons do or you're not able to locate this feature you're accustomed to playing with it might be difficult to work with this small window with a postage stamp on your mobile.

Yes, I believe it's much more of an extension of what's available. The game we want to make in general to be multi-platform, so even if you're on your desktop and decide to go out for a while and you want to continue, you'll be able to go back and play it. Perhaps you're at an engagement with the family and you're using your mobile when it turns out to be dull and you've no other things to be doing. This is why we've created it, which is to give people the possibility of staying active in the game while they're in motion There's no sense in creating content that's mobile-friendly.

We also have players who prefer to avoid certain high-level combat scenarios to buy RS gold on mobile simply because they're not used with the UI or because they like the security of being able to access each and every window available at once for all of their possibilities of action. There are players who are taking high-end boss content via mobile and streaming the content to the world with their evaluation of the game. The new competitions between the community to determine who has the highest time on our most prestigious bosses on mobile have turned into another aspect of the game that is amazing to watch.

Each season, Pulisic is given a more impressive card in FUT. This year, he's an 81-rated left-winger which is two levels higher than the previous one. Pulisic is most effective when his card is placed in wide space as he attacks and creates opportunities with FUT 26 Coins to other teammates.

Since the card comes with an acceleration of 91 and 87 the card will feel more agile than the standard card suggests. It is fine to short-pass the player, however, players should avoid long passes. In terms of price, Pulisic will make an astonishing impact on any team with a budget.

Opara is an FUT legend. He has played some of the strongest cards ever seen in the game. This is only the second time that an American is rated 75 or greater. The most important thing clubs should know that the defender is the speed of 88 and 85 strength. He also has defensive stats that were in the 70s. Opara is certainly the most powerful 75-rated player on the field. Clubs should look for an opportunity to integrate Opara into their lineup.

After several seasons of inconsistency, Sanches looks like he has finally found his rhythm with Ligue 1. The versatile midfielder can work perfectly with an CM or CDM position behind an cam. His profile is extremely balanced with more than 2.100 statistics in game. Sanches can hit an extended shot occasionally, and also. Sanches is among the most flexible midfielders on the field and since he's only rated 78. players can get him at less than 1.000 coins.

Taison offers a very inexpensive card that is available every year. The 81 rated LM card isn't an exception. The card's 93-speed acceleration and incredible dribbling statistics make it among the best FUT cards. Taison might not be a great player in scoring, but the card has a shot power of 80+ as well as long shots and the ability to volley. Clubs can combine Taison together with Marlos and the Brazilian striker to create a affordable lineup for competitive play.

Joaquin Correa has gone unnoticed since there is a Correa in Serie A that is slightly more effective. But unlike Angel Correa Joaquin is able to play in the middle of the field. The Argentinian is agile, quick and is one of the best players across the world. The card isn't equipped with the top shooting performance however, players can make the card sit in front of two strikers and play using the center position. Balance issues will be evident when playing, and it's crucial to take the ball off his feet prior to an opponent.

The controversial FIFA series's publisher Electronic Arts has once again come under fire within the gaming world. Much like it has been in the past it is the case with the use of loot box and betting mechanics for its games like  EA FC 26.

The most recent entry in the cult series of football-related games has caused controversy, particularly it's  EA FC 26 Ultimate Team feature that lets players build a custom team with any of the players featured in the game. Of of course, the players are obtained through loot boxes that players are urged to buy using real money. The issue isn't with the loot boxes at this time instead, it's a paper on them.

According to CBC the CBC, several inside EA documents were leaked to the media by an "gaming insider" who claims documents prove that EA attempts to influence players to spend more for the game to buy Fut 26 Coins. The document of 54 pages is from the sports division of EA located within Burnaby, British Colombia, Canada. The document is an expo filled with bullet points and slides.

Many will bethink Jake Elliott's aboriginal season. He still owns the annal for longest acreage ambition by a amateur (61), longest acreage ambition by a amateur in the playoffs (53), and longest acreage ambition by a amateur in the Super Bowl. He and the Eagles won that Super Bowl to cap off one of the best amateur campaigns with Madden 26 coins by a commodity ever.

Yet Elliott has accustomed that the aboriginal year was no fluke. His accurateness has added aback afresh and he still consistently bliss acreage goals in the boilerplate 50s. Accepting fabricated a Pro Bowl aback then, Philadelphia has apparent Elliott accept a acknowledged career in the alliance so far.

Although Ryan Stonehouse is on this list, there is every acumen to say that accepting him at this OVR is way too low. He set an NFL almanac with 53.1 yards per punt this aftermost season. That season, incredibly, was his amateur year. Breaking an best almanac in year one should accept angry added heads.

Yet, somehow, he didn't akin get a Pro Bowl entry. Accepting the best amateur averaging 50  yards per punt in a audible assay anytime should accept put the alliance on notice. Regardless, Titans admirers are adored this underrated amateur is on their team.

If it feels like Patrick Mahomes and top-tier apprenticed end Travis Kelce are consistently in ambrosial advantageous situations, that's no accident. Tommy Townsend pins opposing offenses back, acceptance the aegis to achieve a quick stop and giving the breach an advantage on the field.

This aftermost season, Townsend won Adapted Teams Amateur of the Anniversary and Month, ceremoniousness usually accustomed abandoned to kickers. The alliance is acquainted the accent of a punter over a connected bold and assay due to how Townsend helped out his Super Bowl best Chiefs.

Having been in the bold aback 2009, aloft Pro Bowler Graham Gano comes up clamp aback his aggregation needs him. He's still accusation acreage goals able-bodied over 50 yards and has an accurateness of over 90% aftermost season. Age has abandoned bigger Gano's abilities.

Gano holds the longest acreage ambition annal for two altered teams, Washington and Carolina. Yet his best absorbing band was in New York breadth he kicked 37 beeline acreage goals. The Giants are a aggregation accustomed for aristocratic alive backs but Gano deserves all the acclamation he gets.

The Vikings arise Daniel Carlson aback in his 2018 amateur season. That angry out to be a huge mistake. Carlson has led the alliance in scoring alert and is currently the third-most authentic commodity in the NFL. Las Vegas is adored that this ascendancy has been in their favor.

Kicking over 90% for the aftermost three years, Carlson additionally set a career-high with a 57-yard acreage goal. If his ambit continues to aggrandize and his accurateness charcoal breadth it is, the Raiders will be acceptable best of their abutting amateur afore too long.

After a 2021 Pro Bowl assay breadth A.J. Cole III kicked for over 44 yards per punt, Cole managed to accept an akin bigger 2022, hitting about 49 yards per punt. Pro Bowlers accepting bigger at any position is a alarming assurance of what is to come.

For the Raiders, their adverse assay aftermost year had at atomic the adapted teams as a ablaze spot. They've got two of the best in the bold and one of the top advanced receivers in football. With some adherence at the quarterback spot, Cole will put his defenses into situations breadth they can win games.

Justin Tucker is generally argued to be the best commodity of all time. While gamers activity about who the best quarterback to buy Madden 26 coins in the bold is, absolute few altercate that anybody is bigger than Justin Tucker. He holds NFL annal for accuracy, longest acreage goal, and best 50  backyard acreage goals in a game.

E.U. Commission "Humanitarian" aid to the "Palestinian" Arabs may now have become astronomical !

Quote:AI Overview:

Yes, the European Commission's aid to Palestinians, especially since late 2023, often exceeds annual ESA [European Space Agency] contributions; 
the EU's total support for Palestinians (humanitarian + development) is in the billions (€1.6B for 2025-27), 
while ESA's  total  budget is comparable but broken down by  member  contributions, often in the hundreds of millions (e.g., Spain €500M, France/Germany billions over years, not annually), 
making direct annual EU Commission aid vs. total  country  ESA contributions an uneven comparison, but overall EU financial flows to Palestine are massive. 

EU Funding for Palestinians (EU Commission & Member States - "Team Europe"):

> Humanitarian Aid:  The EU is the largest donor, allocating significant funds, with €220 million in emergency aid for 2025 alone, and over €1.58 billion from Team Europe since October 2023 for humanitarian needs.

> Development & Stability:  A major 2025-2027 program for Palestine is up to  €1.6 billion, supporting services, recovery, and the Palestinian Authority. 

European Space Agency (ESA) Contributions:

> ESA is funded by its member states (including EU nations) through mandatory and voluntary contributions for specific programs.

> While multi-billion-euro budgets exist for space programs, individual  annual  contributions to ESA from single EU countries (like France or Germany) are substantial (often hundreds of millions to over a billion euros annually for  all space activities), but these fund space programs, not direct humanitarian aid. 


Comparison:

> The  EU Commission's  specific  annual humanitarian aid  (hundreds of millions) can rival or exceed what some  individual  EU states might contribute to ESA in a single year, but the total "Team Europe" support package for Palestine (humanitarian + development) is in the billions over a few years.

It's an apples-to-oranges comparison  of EU institutional funding vs. member state contributions to a separate agency, but both are significant financial commitments, with EU support to Palestine being a massive, ongoing funding stream. 

Hello everyone,

Lately I've been using chatGPT to interpret certain passages in scripture. So far, it's been a useful guide. But it's hard to verify if the feedback it gives me matches what scholars and rabbis would respond with.

For example, I had this conversation with chatGPT on Exodus 19:

https://chatgpt.com/share/6929238f-6b3c-...16a1ad1642

(unfortunately, I used the same chat to ask some tech questions about some software I'm dealing with; once it starts to sound techy, you know it's a different conversation ).

What does everyone think? Is chatGPT a good source for interpreting scripture?

Welcome to the next installment of my journey into Exodus where I explore each chapter, one by one, and post my thoughts and ask questions in a deep dive analysis from the perspective of a non-Jewish, non-Christian, non-anything-really individual (though I do believe in God and have my own spiritual path). Today, we cover Exodus 19, the arrival at Mt. Sinai and the establishment of boundaries by God for the Israelites to observe. My sources, as usual, are as follows:

* primary: chabad.org

* secondary: biblegateway.com

* And introducing: chatgpt.com

Exodus 19:1-2 Wrote:1 In the third month of the children of Israel's departure from Egypt, on this day they arrived in the desert of Sinai. 2 They journeyed from Rephidim, and they arrived in the desert of Sinai, and they encamped in the desert, and Israel encamped there opposite the mountain.

gib65 Wrote:

Exodus 18:5 Wrote:Now Moses' father in law, Jethro, and his [Moses'] sons and his wife came to Moses, to the desert where he was encamped, to the mountain of God.

Are we already at the mountain of God? At Mt. Sinai? Chapter 17 open with:

Exodus 17:1 Wrote:The entire community of the children of Israel journeyed from the desert of Sin to their travels by the mandate of the Lord. They encamped in Rephidim, and there was no water for the people to drink.

And verse 7 has Moses naming the place Massah and Meribah:

Exodus 17:7 Wrote:He named the place Massah [testing] and Meribah [quarreling] because of the quarrel of the children of Israel and because of their testing the Lord, saying, Is the Lord in our midst or not?

It goes on to describe the battle with the Amalekites followed by Moses inscribing the event in a memorial and building an alter... all presumably at the same place. So did they travel since then or was this at the base of Mt. Sinai?

Exodus 19:9 Wrote:And the Lord said to Moses, "Behold, I am coming to you in the thickness of the cloud, in order that the people hear when I speak to you, and they will also believe in you forever." And Moses relayed the words of the people to the Lord.

gib65 Wrote:If I take these passages from biblegateway.com, they say this:

Exodus 16:9-12 Wrote:9 Then Moses told Aaron, “Say to the entire Israelite community, ‘Come before the Lord, for he has heard your grumbling.’” 10 While Aaron was speaking to the whole Israelite community, they looked toward the desert, and there was the glory of the Lord appearing in the cloud. 11 The Lord said to Moses, 12 “I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them, ‘At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.’”

This puts a slightly different spin on it. This suggests that God's appearance in the cloud was not what He intended for the Israelites to "come before the Lord" for (as instructed by Aaron), but just happened to occur while Aaron was speaking to the crowd, which (understandably) caught their attention as they turned to the desert to look. And if [you, Robert, are] right that the Lord only spoke to Moses (i.e. the people didn't hear the Lord), then it makes sense that Moses would convey the message afterward, and that would be the purpose of gathering the people to hear God's response to their complaints.

Exodus 19:12-13 Wrote:12 And you shall set boundaries for the people around, saying, Beware of ascending the mountain or touching its edge; whoever touches the mountain shall surely be put to death.' 13 No hand shall touch it, for he shall be stoned or cast down; whether man or beast, he shall not live. When the ram's horn sounds a long, drawn out blast, they may ascend the mountain."

Exodus 19:15 Wrote:He said to the people, "Be ready for three days; do not go near a woman."

Exodus 19:21-22 Wrote:The Lord said to Moses, "Go down, warn the people lest they break [their formation to go nearer] to the Lord, to see, and many of them will fall. 22 And also, the priests who go near to the Lord shall prepare themselves, lest the Lord wreak destruction upon them."

Exodus 19:24 Wrote:But the Lord said to him, "Go, descend, and [then] you shall ascend, and Aaron with you, but the priests and the populace shall not break [their formation] to ascend to the Lord, lest He wreak destruction upon them."

biblegateway.com Wrote:20 The Lord descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses went up 21 and the Lord said to him, “Go down and warn the people so they do not force their way through to see the Lord and many of them perish. 22 Even the priests, who approach the Lord, must consecrate themselves, or the Lord will break out against them.”

23 Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, because you yourself warned us, ‘Put limits around the mountain and set it apart as holy.’”

24 The Lord replied, “Go down and bring Aaron up with you. But the priests and the people must not force their way through to come up to the Lord, or he will break out against them.”

I'm confused about something I can't find the answer to online maybe you can help me?

Is it a Mitzvah to tear down statues of demons if on public property?

Some local "artist" erected 20 statues made from driftwood and metal that looked like evil demons with horns, nose rings, and one even had a throne and orbs. They sat all in a row on a public foot path with a sign that read, "Monster Valley Beware"; it's where I jog all the time; why did it bother me if I'm not superstitious?  On Oct 31 it took 4 hours "nullifying" the path to remove and haul them to the dump. I feel like there is less darkness in my neighbourhood now but I don't understand how I felt this way... 

The police called to let me know about the investigation being open and I may be charged with criminal mischief if the statues were on the owners property; however, they were just outside of the boundary by 5 feet, thank Hashem!

Today I ran past and now there is a new statue; what do I do? I've been told it's not up to me to judge weather the object is evil and demonic and that I should just ignore it.  I'm finding it difficult to let it go but think I should; how can I have peace living side by side with pegan "art" everywhere? I don't want to sell and leave my home; I've asked Hashem which has lead me here; I am asking for advice from a Tzadik; please help!

I wonder if there are anymore Einstein's out there, looking for a new Spinoza.

I was wondering if you could help me review this work.

Hello,
I'm a Hebrew initiate (made brief introduction in the welcome section).  


 I've had several years of Greek, German, and now a year of Hebrew, which isn't enough for really digging into translation, so I joined to brush up and have questions answered as I'm going along.

What I've been noting, with ancient Hebrew, is translators tend to use context to translate particular words, hence נָחַם Nacham, has a list of possibility for translations:   Comfort, Repent, Relent, changed my mind, and tend to replace the one word with larger vocabulary in conveyance.

I'm under the impression that Nacham is the root word "sigh."    When I'm trying to translate, I tend to go to the root meaning, first, and often last.    There are all kinds of issues with translating any particular language, but with Tanakh Hebrew, there were only about 8k words. The idea of giving multiple meanings to Hebrew expression for particularly English, where we have over a half a million words for expression is understandable, but for me, back-loading on translation, meaning into words that are (to me) imported back upon Hebrew Tanakh simplicity.    

As I look at the options from a standard concordance, I have to wonder if 'to sigh' is being pushed further by context, rather than by the word itself in translation.    

Exodus 32:14, by example, might not convey well as 'G-d sighed.'   Relented perhaps the better for English understanding, but it is my thinking "G-d sighed" is 1, the actual equivalent, and 2,'relented' the action contextually following the word Nacham.   IOW, "G-d sighed" followed by "He didn't bring disaster" where we allow context to inform instead of adding translated thoughts we are just about to translate anyway (a redundancy and it seems to me, a force upon the one word).  

So the argument for translation would be:  Minimal, allow the reader to come to conclusions and don't over-stuff any particular word with context that is already given, especially when context definitely fills out meaning.   

One problem:   "G-d changed His mind," is one go-to for translators and I've all kinds of issues with it being legitimate.   For me, 'changed one's mind' is vague, and not very meaningful for understanding any particular text, even in English.    Rather, the action following 'I changed my mind' is pertinent, and Nacham, rather the set up for that action.    Revisiting Exodus 32:14, "G-d changed His mind" goes much further in assumption than "G-d sighed."   I can intimate 'why' but if I translated that intimation, it appears to me, I've forced the text and translation and back-loaded it with meaning that can and often does redirect a reader from original intent (again, such is my drive when trying to be faithful translating any text).   

On point is a question of whether or not, based on my translating inclination, to always go as minimal and faithful to a word's meaning whenever meaning can be deciphered by further contextual reading.   I prefer word-for-word over against thought-for-thought, simply because of the middle-man between me and actually getting to the gist of a text. 

Thoughts, input appreciated and thank you.  -Lon

Hello.    I've had a little Hebrew (one year) and have questions from time to time.    I've a BTh in theology, MA in Teaching/child psych.

I've had to years of German, two years of Greek, and am currently learning a bit of Spanish on my own.

My interest in forum is to ask questions and get a better grip on the Tanakh.   

Currently I'm in a discussion about  the meaning of ָחַם -Nacham.   I tend to believe all words must travel back to their root meaning for proper interpretation, such that 'comfort,repent, relent' are, I think, rather contextual than implicit.    For me, 'sighed' carries the broader meaning of the Tanakh language more appropriately, and leaves context for further meaning.    Such is a sample of 'why I'm interested in being here.'   

Thanks for taking a few moments to briefly get acquainted.  -Lon
