If this is inappropriate - apologies, I just find comfort in identifying and relating, perhaps contributing to Druin/Elit's legacy. I definitely remember seeing him around as a <15 year old. Looking at his lastfm profile, his last song on this day was from Snow Patrol. I love that album - I would hope that his last moments were peaceful. Well wishes to his family and friends. Echoing Yuan's above post, especially `do not be a bloody fool, and get someone to talk to. The voices, the guilt and the issues will not go away`, coming from someone who was in quite a similar situation. Life can be so great, and trying to spend it alone is not worth it. It can be so much better - even if it means a lifetime of work. I think my post here is falling upon the ears of quite level-headed folks, but yeah. The topic of "how do you help out your friends?" is something I'd love to talk about, casually asking about the well-being of people can be seen as quite weird, I think (and perhaps not helpful at all asked in the wrong way?)

my anti virus told me your link is bad what do you think that means?? did you use your real email to verify here?? otherwise, very impressive forum crawling bot to verify by itself

where are the [obscure, expensive shoes] then?? merry late christmas from Texas

Man, I miss Sal's too - I'm sure there's some rose-tinted glasses going on there but still, there really isn't a community like this on the internet that I can find anymore. The internet is continuously changing but part of me is unabashedly going to use IRC talk and steal the old emoticons to use. I was texting an image to a friend the other day trying to figure out the allowed size over SMS and it brought me back to 500kb sigs and skirting the rules. Heh. @Speedwagon I saw your post and appreciated your insight; I'm not sure if I can formulate a response to contribute but you asked about a discord and it seems appropriate to drop here too. I don't think I've ever posted and the last chat was two weeks ago (is discord dying too? dust to dust I suppose) but here's an invite URL: https://discord.gg/D2xq3GJEwM I ground out some OSRS and got ~150 levels in my log here a few months back edit: I am totally a broken record at this point

Coming back to Runescape in my mid-20s has made me think more about "free time" or what I spend my time on outside of work. Prior to coming back, I hadn't really invested any significant amount of time into a game since Minecraft back in 2011 or 2012. Most of my time in the past years have been spent with other hobbies like biking, reading, drawing or coding. Maybe piano once in a blue moon. There's the argument that if you're enjoying doing something, it isn't a waste of time. I'm not sure I entirely agree with that anymore though - there's clearly a difference in the results of spending 100 hours learning a practicable skill versus watching 100 hours of TV.. or Runescape. I guess I'm not really arguing a point here, but I'm interested to know what y'all's personal thoughts on it and your own "free time" are. I guess it's just a matter of how you live your life. Maybe some of your own tricks you use? I personally find it a lot easier to sit down and play a video game instead of putting in effort on a hobby, but I know personally I get a lot more out of the latter. I've been trying to stick to a schedule (very much like a "one hour games, one hour reading, etc." kind of thing) but it's so hard to follow with no outside accountability.

I really, really am behind on RS3 updates - are these elite dungeons kind of like the raids in OSRS? I hear they can be pretty click-intensive, or at least you gotta be able to not-stand-in-the-fire Oh, that's a great idea; when I get back from vacation I've got the quest line on my docket. Quests are a lot more fun to record when leveling is just 10 clips in a row. Just been fishing Sacred Eels while I'm on hotel network (my curve is flattening, oh no!) However, I see late 2020 was the Age of Sobend Being Serious

this makes me want to keep the 100-hour pixel sig i am making for Make Max GP for myself

I am astonished at the level of information you can pick up from a chat box on the screen for half a second, but you know, fertilizer comments are extremely important I think I'm up to three "nice bondscape" comments now I did Regicide and lost half of the footage (my shell scripts for converting/resizing mov files just deleted half of them without converting. I am devastate.) so I'll be doing Roving Elves, MEP, MEP2 in a week or two hopefully how's the max life treating you

I'm glad someone noticed :P I have freed my joke spot for flipping. Also, a month later, I got ~30-40 levels, 6m xp and probably around 30m rsgp. I tried my hand at flipping and was both: surprised at how easy it is and depressed I hadn't done it back in ~2010 when it would have actually helped me.

I remember Ubermorph! Hey man, similar thoughts as you. Cool to hear that things are going well for you. I was thinking, it's odd, I can come up with a ton of names from Sals' - would be so interesting to hear their stories and what's happening in their lives. Keep on living the good life!

Heh, no guarantees, I forgot how much time and effort ya gotta put into these. I'll keep chipping away at it, it may end up a little more stylized than everything else posted

roflcopters xD

Oh my goodness! Look! Sobend got 99 Archaeology, the best of all the new skills! What do you know, Chaoss didn't know this skill existed until now! C'mon Chaoss, you're on the most active , most descriptive and frequently-visited update forum for Runescape - you should know this stuff by now! I bet you didn't know they came out with Sailing too! Sobend has 99 in that too! The next skill is about raising ponies. Sobend said he won't get 99 in that. That would be weird. I can't believe it though! Sobend got another 99! He's growing up so fast, next thing you know he'll have a max cap- wait, he has one??

fiddlefellow is probably busy writing a book about horses and how to care for them

if only world 71 was accessible to the oldschoolers :'( but also lol, thanks dude I'm always a little skeptical about my commentary I'm really enjoying the quests without relying on guides tbh! I feel like I got a pretty Runescape-ish experience doing these last two videos. Latest one, The Great Brain Robbery and then finding out it was all for naught next steps are 90 wc, 70/80 construction and 70/80 crafting. Who knows what's next. GUYS WE'RE ON A NEW PAGE THANKS YALL WOW I NEVER THOUGHT WE WOULD GET TO 5
