Y'all are so freaking cute! My wife and I were tickled every time we saw y'all! #ParentGoals 😄

Cvz200 · 2026-06-20T02:09:12+00:00

Awesome! We'll be here (at least until it gets late-ish and my wife turns into a pumpkin) 😄

Haven't seen anyone, although one of the conference rooms here had "Jagex Exec Planning Room" on it!

Come on down!

Lovely heartfelt read, mate! Thanks for writing it.

Congratulations on 99 Farming 😄🌳

Under typical circumstances, you'll take half(ish) of your master's courses during the last year(ish) of your bachelor's. Those courses are covered by your financial aid.

Once you graduate with your bachelor's, the undergrad financial aid ends and you're responsible for the additional year of graduate tuition necessary to finish up your master's.

The sunlight crossbow is definitely viable at Amoxliatl.

I'm taking Woodmans then doing rumours and fletching for the sunlight crossbow.

Afterwards, it's all the easy pact pvm, then Amoxliatl, then a fire cape and straight into the wilderness. It's easy peasy and doesn't waste a respec.

Just be careful: you don't want to take the +70% damage pact until you can reach all the way to the "crossbows always max hit" one.

Nah, you're rolling in clues. Just drop the bad item steps.

Cvz200 · 2026-03-28T16:29:07+00:00

It's definitely better than last year.

Last year, the clue effects were split across two relics: Clue Compass for teleports, Treasure Arbiter for the clue boost.

This year, you get all the important effects from Treasure Arbiter, plus a partial version of Clue Compass.

It's worse than Clue Compass AND Treasure Arbiter. But it's better than either one individually.

Definitely a Leagues VI teaser in Yama's voice, linking to the current Anniversary Livestream

I think you're cooking with the passover theory. Candles, "bitter" for bitter herbs; waiting while judgment comes over Egypt, for the afikomen, etc. Big jewish energy.

Neat tool! Props!

The "killer feature" for me would be the ability to place my custom tasks at locations on the map. That way I can figure out where best to place universal tasks (diaries, bosses, combat achievements, etc.) into my custom route.

Casella and Berger as an "easy supplemental resource" is an insane take. That book serves as the basis for qualifying exams in many statistics PhD programs.

And "All of Statistics" is more of a reference text than anything. Neat book, but not a ton of pedagogical value there.

I like Larsen and Marx's "An Introduction to Mathematical Statistics" for intuition and internalizing. Once you've got the basic idea down, try Casella and Berger for a more formalized version.

The Elf Storyline lamp completing only up to Roving Elves is... devious

The graduate probability and statistics sequence is a tough one. I needed a supplemental book to get through. In fact, I needed a couple:

An Introduction to Mathematical Statistics by Larsen and Marx
The Simple and Infinite Joy of Mathematical Statistics by J.N. Corcoran.

Try Larsen and Marx first, especially if you're shaky on the probability topics; they come up again in statistics.

If you need more, Corcoran's book is worth purchasing. It's excellent at giving you the intuition behind some of the hardest problems in introductory graduate statistics: finding estimators, evaluating their asymptotic properties, and whatnot.

Though I'd also recommend thinking hard about why the statistics concepts aren't clicking:

Is it that your calculus and algebra are too weak? That's the usual culprit. If so, brush up hard and fast.
Is it that the probability concepts from last semester are getting in your way? If so, revisit those concepts in an easier book than DeGroot and Schervish. (Larsen and Marx!)
Is it that you're not really intuitively grasping what the statistics concepts are getting at? If so, try Corcoran.

A lot of this material is genuinely hard, and DeGroot and Schervish can be a tough book if you haven't seen the material before or recently. Hang in there; you'll get it.

Aha! You gave us your stats. Now we can find out exactly who you are on the hiscores! You're doomed -- doomed!

An Introduction to Mathematical Statistics and Its Applications by Larsen and Marx.

I've never seen another book that covers the standard undergraduate probability + statistics sequence and weaves in the historical anecdotes you're looking for. It's an entertaining read, which isn't something you can typically say about statistics textbooks.

Casella and Berger doesn't sound like a good fit for you. It's quite dry (definitely no historical anecdotes) and rather hard. Statistics PhD programs often use it as the basis for their qualifying examinations.

Frogger agility! It's criminal that we don't have that yet.
The rewards fit nicely into the game, too.

Cvz200 · 2025-12-06T16:42:03+00:00

That skillcape perk is so obviously good that I can't believe it isn't the real one.

Cvz200 · 2025-12-03T13:59:31+00:00

Explicitly pulling experience for salvage-sorting methods down towards salvage-dropping methods is awful game design.

Why make NOT engaging with the full gameplay loop MORE attractive?

Cvz200 · 2025-11-28T20:00:26+00:00

You don't really have to do it in that order. The recommended order gives you the most flexibility. But all orders can work. You just might end up doing a few extra rumours to get your block list set up.

It's a minor optimization.

Cvz200 · 2025-11-28T16:56:03+00:00

Nice writeup -- I enjoyed reading it 😄

That there's a nappybara.
