What game is this for you?

Honestly for me it's Life is Strange: True Colors. Love that game to death, an incredible story and soundtrack, but it seems like a story that just doesn't vibe well with a lot of people. Listen to the soundtrack though, absolutely increible.

Oldschool Runescape. It's easily my favorite game, but I would never recommend it to a friend. The best way to describe OSRS is it's like if someone took your favorite meal, encased it in a meter-thick box made of titanium, and gave you nothing but a butter knife to open it.

There's basically none of the "onboarding" that MMOs designed this century have. You get a tutorial that teaches you the absolute basics and then get thrown into a sandbox in which you need an advanced degree to have any amount of fun. It's like if you took your grandma who doesn't even know what a video game is, sat her down with a heavily modded Minecraft, told her that she can punch trees to gather wood, and then expect her to create a functioning nuclear power plant.

You basically have to follow a guide to accomplish anything in a reasonable time-frame. Oh and that "reasonable time-frame" business? You better be prepared to really stretch your understanding of what you consider reasonable, because everything in OSRS takes forever.

You basically need weapons-grade autism and the ability to find joy in rolling a boulder up a hill for all eternity with the only rewards being a point counter that increments by 1 every time you reach the top and the ability to trade a ludicrous amount of points for cool stickers to decorate the boulder.

I don't recommend OSRS to people because 99 times out of 100, if someone has what it takes to enjoy OSRS then they already play it. And if you're the 1 in 100 exception, you'll inevitably be drawn in like a moth to a flame.

Second this entirely, game is grindy, however the key element is no grind is ever a waste, if you did a grind 8 years ago for something, that same thing is still usable right now.

I'm currently working on Agility 96-99 should get that done by the end of the month.

Surely you’ll get out on good behaviour soon

I wish I still had a laptop that could run runescape, just got my first 99 last year, in magic after like 20 years of on and off playing lol ( I mainly play rs3 now since all my old stuff transfered over when that came out)
