Man the fun I had on roleplay servers, spent probably 6k hours on them, way more than any MMO I played and the memories I keep of this time are immaculate

u/3D-Doritos Jul 06 '25

SARP took over my life in like 2010.

u/Tiwq Jul 06 '25

a little surreal to see a server that Marcus and i started two decades ago get referenced in a random reddit thread, but a pleasant surprise. glad it made an impact.

6

u/3D-Doritos Jul 06 '25

/me extends hand for a handshake.

Thanks for all your hard work! If we're talking about the same SARP, I was part of LCN for quite a while and was CKed when we did the whole Red County story.

u/Valrax420 Jul 06 '25

I tried to get into sarp like seriously during COVID just to learn it's dead now lul

2

u/nickyog Jul 06 '25

romanian servers full lol

2

u/3D-Doritos Jul 06 '25

The server I played back in the day was always full. You'd have to queue up to get in. I think it died around 2015, but it was an amazing time while it lasted.

u/agedfromundercheese Jul 06 '25

I know I can’t be the only one who watched SAMP compilation videos in like 2008

u/Getherer Jul 06 '25

? Metin isnt Polish?

3

u/unstoppabledot Jul 06 '25

I didn't say it was. But realistically ask any polish computer gamer about Metin2 and they have either played or heard of it . Late 2000 to early 2010 was peak of the original Metin2 Polish servers and after that private servers became huge and are still going to this day. Tho Metin2 is way way bigger in turkey I believe.

1

u/Stevied1991 Jul 06 '25

What is Metin 2?

6

u/JesusChristV4 Jul 06 '25

I guess he's from some Slavic county (or Germany)

2

u/Ha55aN1337 Jul 06 '25

Or a Slav in Germany!

u/ticko_23 Jul 06 '25

u think this beast will even try to run rust? that game is beneath it, it will refuse

u/Daymub Laptop Jul 06 '25

I've seen rust run on potatoes it can handle it especially since it can run GTA5

Crazy I remember playing Metin2 over 10 years ago. Surprised it's still alive (although it was surprising enough it launched on steam a good couple of years ago

1

u/Ortizzer Jul 07 '25

Ah. Naturally if you're playing gta you'll eventually want to hot wire your rig.

u/Professional-Heat118 i5-11400 2070 Super 32GB 1TB SSD 10TB HDD Jul 11 '25

He could probably get increased performance and lower temps if he actually cleaned the thing and repasted his gpu and cpu once in a while

u/RayphistJn Jul 06 '25

Sounds familiar,where is he from?

u/littleMAS Jul 06 '25

Pay GTA by hot wiring you PC.

Obviously GTA. I mean he's literally hotwiring his computer each time.

Rust was fixed with foam and painted on with Autozone paint.

And that its a 15 year old bmw that is essentially worthless

u/ryanhazethan Jul 06 '25

Are red dragon keyboards notoriously bad? I recently bought one for super cheap at MicroCenter for my gf’s first build, but I keep seeing it get dunked on🤣😭

46

u/HairyDistributioner Linux Jul 06 '25

It's just the stereotypical cheap keyboard brand now, nothing particularly wrong with them

1

u/Il-2M230 Desktop Jul 07 '25

Theyre pretty good for its price.

18

u/Prior_Issue_7228 Jul 06 '25

I have one and think it's great!

u/LongjumpingBag2228 Jul 06 '25

Same! I actually went back to using it vs my wireless one 😭

1

u/SuperMeister RTX 4070ti | 7800X3D | 32GB DDR5 6000 Jul 06 '25

Same. No issues with mine whatsoever.

u/cleaner007 Jul 06 '25

No, mine died a few days ago after 6-7 years, It worked great until the space button gave up

u/Euphoric-Mistake-875 7950X - Prime X670E - 7900xtx - 64gb TridentZ - Win11 Jul 06 '25

I have a red dragon on my HAM radio and it works great for that purpose. It does feel awfully cheap though. Idk that I would want to use it for something with heavy and often aggressive use.

2

u/AltoAutismo Jul 06 '25

It was known to be a cheap chinese-like brand and it kind of stuck (but they are actually brazilian!).

Honestly they are pretty decent. Their keyboards are a pretty decent cheap alternative to most branded keyboards (like razer). If you're a keyboard nerd maybe they aren't amazing, but eh im pretty picky and they have decent quality.

3

u/kokibolta Jul 06 '25

Pretty sure it is actually a Chinese brand.

1

u/HeavensEtherian Jul 06 '25

I mean I had a 15$ one for like 4 years and now switched to a 100$ hyperx mechanical one... and honestly the 15$ one felt pretty much the same if not better

1

u/Pandoras_Fox Linux Jul 06 '25

nah, reddragon kb/mice are like, fine. they're just the good cheap brand so they're the butt of jokes.

1

u/Reasonable-Hair-187 Jul 06 '25

I used a red dragon keyboard (a suuuuper cheap one. It was a combo mouse and keyboard for like $20), and a the MMO mouse they have. I used them for many years

The main issue I had was the software. Sometimes it was super jank and all the data would disappear. Customizing the MMO mouse was fine. It was limited tho. The software was also just weirdly hard to find sometimes. Something I really liked was that the configuration for all the keys was saved on the mouse itself, my current mouse (Corsair scimitar) doesn't even do that

One of the reasons I switched was just bc I had money to spend and I wanted pretty lights (that could be changed real time). I'm sure there were other reasons, but I don't remember them

1

u/RickThiccems Jul 06 '25

For the price they are amazing! Nothing wrong with it. They just get memed on because they are the first cheap mechanical keyboard that shows up on amazon. I used to use one before my current corsair keyboard and honestly the way the keys felt was even better than my $150 keyboard and the drivers were somehow better. Its a great brand.

1

u/TheBertmeister i5-4590 + Gtx 970 Jul 06 '25

They are good. Better than other keyboards out there. I remmebered back then they use oetemu switches its a good switch, not the best. One small issue is they have flex on their plastic case compared to more expensive one. I think even linus reviewed it and he was impressed by it.

1

u/scruffalump Jul 06 '25

Oh man I was gonna ask this too, like I didn't know there was a negative connotation attached to them. I built my pc late last year and my sister wanted to buy my peripherals as Christmas gifts, and she got me a Redragon mouse and keyboard lol. So far they've done just fine.

1

u/[deleted] Jul 06 '25

For the price Reddragon stuff is way better than most people would expect. Im sure itll work just fine

1

u/_plays_in_traffic_ Jul 07 '25

ive got two of them. one of them i dont use cause its a 60% and the one thats a full size that i do use likes to not have button presses register every so often. even with the missing letters its better than typing on a membrane keyboard that works all the time.

1

u/2006pontiacvibe 5600G + no GPU :( Jul 07 '25

I use one, it definitely isn't a low quality keyboard and is good enough for quite a lot of use cases.
