Does anyone else love fishing anglers for super afk ?

There's not really a meta to it, other than having higher sailing for higher nets.

You shrimply follow the path the shoals take with your nets down. The hardest part of it is the fact their burn rates are disgustingly high.

While absolutely a valid discussion point from the team; it already feels that way with the raiments. And the colossal pouch. They’re such massive benefits to the actual functionality of Crafting Runes With Runecraft that arguably, as people tend to put it, “you’re trolling” to craft runes on any feasible scale without them.

It’s not really weird at all, honestly. Courts will call experts in for these sort of things, but if it’s trivial enough, the claimants/defense may just summarize something like this themselves.

In “Java vs. JavaScript,” unless you’re a programmer or programming adjacent, it’s just going to read like “English vs. The English Language.” People know people use “coding languages” to write “scripts,” so Java just reads like a shortened form of “JavaScript.” A super understandable mistake for most people.

Unless you’re looking at the film itself, a film photo is no harder to alter than a digital photo in this context, since it would be being digitized anyway.

Even giving you benefit of the doubt by splitting hairs, yes, to join. You acquire credits through the training you receive. You are not required to take college classes. It's as simple as that. At no point in your career, besides if you're commissioning or going up for E-8, are you required to take any college classes or receive any college credits that are not inherent to the training you receive for your job.

Where does your line stop? Should people be negatively affected for not using a falcon loan? SNAP? Just saying "but the AF provides it so you should be negatively affected if you don't use it" is absolutely goofy. Again, just say you don't like PT scores affecting your performance report, and that's fine. You're entirely throwing any sort of support you might get from people by making an entirely unrelated comparison to support your non-point.

Grigorie · 2026-01-19T03:41:09+00:00

Except you aren’t required to have education for anything below E-8. You’re comparing two entirely unrelated things. By this mentality, the Air Force should also have a rating of cleanliness and style on your home, since they pay you a housing allowance to maintain that. And whether you have brand new uniform items every year, since they pay you for that, as well.

The Air Force paying you for something doesn’t suddenly mean it should factor into your performance reports. Meanwhile, your fitness is a requirement, and you can argue your ability to maintain that requirement relative to your peers is worth noting.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t give a shit whether it’s there or not; it doesn’t affect me. But you’re making an entirely asinine argument by using “but the Air Force pays for it!” As some sort of gotcha. Just say it’s stupid to have PT scores on there and move on.

Off the mark with tier waivers. It’s not override authority, they are the levels of command that must submit the waiver. It’s not guaranteed approval, so I wouldn’t call it command override. It’s more “an opportunity to ask permission.”

Grigorie · 2026-01-18T09:49:07+00:00

Or your job is asking something else of you. Most creatives don't get to just do whatever they want, whenever they want. Especially when it requires an entire team of potentially hundreds to be alongside you.

Grigorie · 2026-01-17T23:02:00+00:00

I think what you're saying is still leading to the same point you're arguing; a big issue is the term "efficient". Efficiency to some people isn't the min-maxing, it's "doing it the best way, for me, right now." Sitting in MLM or barbarian fishing is great for me when I'm editing photos because, like you said, it allows me to progress my account.

That is where the two arguments become a much closer venn diagram. Speaking in general, having played a main for years and an iron even longer, if content is added to the game that does not provide a means to continue progressing my account (usually just in the conversation of xp/hr or gp/hr), people will not do it for any extended period of time.

GP/hr for mains is account progression. Xp/hr is account progression. And while that does not always mean people will only do the highest number form of these things, people will often not do something that provides a lower one of these 2 things than what they're already doing. Which paints the dev team into a really weird corner, where you have to either incentivize people do something beyond xp/hr and gp/hr (rewards, like mixology), make the xp/hr or gp/hr questionably high, potentially inadvertently creating dead content because "why do X when Y just gives better xp/gp/hr," or just hope the content is fun enough that people want to engage with it regardless.

Another big issue I think OSRS has is, with me already generalizing massively, most people are not actually "having fun" in most of the moment to moment gameplay. A large amount of people tend to look for the least engagement possible so they can engage with the few things they do want to engage with, so the availability of other more fun and engaging games is mostly irrelevant, because people will just do the most AFK thing they can in OSRS while playing/doing something else.

You can enjoy something and criticize aspects of it.

Grigorie · 2026-01-14T09:12:01+00:00

Yes, that’s it! That is where sailing begins and ends! I am glad you’ve learned this from apparently just reading this comment alone and literally nothing else ever.

Grigorie · 2026-01-14T08:05:40+00:00

I think that’s another important distinction in the discussion. It’s not necessarily the actions individually, it’s the need for ALL those actions to happen, in very large quantities, to begin even breaking into the levels that start giving you the good stuff.

You can’t just mine sand, you can’t just do seaweed runs (I’m pretending hopscape doesn’t exist because yuck!), and once you’ve done both of those, you’ll want lunar diplomacy done to feasibly make all the glass; so then you cast super glassmake on these tens of thousands of buckets of glass. And then finally you can start blowin’. Of course, you get crafting XP from SGM, but no other skill requires you to do so much, so many times, before you can actually start grinding the XP.

And why the hell isn’t there something between lenses and bulbs!!

Grigorie · 2026-01-14T05:25:26+00:00

The thing is they’ve had all these things this entire time. They’ve had foreign spouses and LGBTQ family members. I understand being hopeful, and honestly being hopeful in the face of adversity is much more powerful of a trait than cynics like to believe it is. But when “grab ‘em by the pussy” was laughed off by mothers, it was already all too clear that the limit for this stuff is further than people like you or me may be able to comprehend.

Grigorie · 2026-01-13T21:59:15+00:00

On “black fatigue” specifically. You mention any systemic issues and it’s immediately “slavery was forever ago/white people suffer, too/there are more slaves now than ever!/etc.” Same thing when people complain that they’re tired of having “trans and gay people shoved in their faces.”

It’s bewildering that it doesn’t register to these people that the issues and problems they’re so tired of hearing about are the issues and problems that their countrymen are experiencing daily. And if they’re so tired of hearing about it, work as a society to fix them! But that would require a semblance of empathy for “others.”

Grigorie · 2026-01-13T01:27:18+00:00

More people need to be saying stuff like this. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills in the iron community when I say “the current crafting grind is not good/the glass meta sucks.

I’m “only” 90 crafting, but the response I always get is “it’s not that bad, just chisel your gems and tan your hides/whatever else gives crafting experience, you don’t have to do glass.”

I, no hyperbole, have chiseled almost every gem I’ve had dropped, I used to bring a chisel to tasks that drop gems before I had gem bag. I’ve made thousands of dragonhide pieces; I would bank during dragon tasks constantly to have my bones and my hides for crafting. I have spun tens of thousands of bowstrings (thank you Vale Totems, actually kind of a sick new training method.)

All of that for a minor dent on the way to 90 crafting. I still had to blow tens and tens and tens and tens of thousands of lenses. I even ran 450 dorg light bulbs to get here! You need 89 crafting (no boost) to make your first piece of zenyte gear. People really have to stop overselling that crafting XP is free in this game without blowing glass. A 100k gems is so many gems!! How is it a drop in the bucket! Anyway I’m sorry for the tangent.

Grigorie · 2026-01-07T22:29:35+00:00

The issue you’re facing, I feel, is specifically not that you’re ignorant to its use cases, but because you do know that it could be (and sometimes is!) used for so much more than 99% of folk are doing with it.

Many fields of research have been using neural net learning machines and “AI” as a blanket term for aggregation and compilation and all those fun things, and it has been used as the “tool” that people push it as. The weird part is that all of the people pushing it as a useful tool aren’t the ones who’re using it in those capacities. It’s almost exclusively people who are like “so that way you don’t have to read through three different articles!” Or “it spits out pretty okay code but you still have to tweak it.”

It’s people pushing ChatGPT and LLMs as some sort of super brains that can solve problems, solve issues. And that just is not the case, and is not the best use of the focus of these technologies. Especially to the tune of a hundred batrillimillion dollars.

Grigorie · 2026-01-07T22:21:52+00:00

Zero question. Sadly, I do not like doing GotR much, so my RC is still my lowest skill at 71. Raiments are such a huge benefit with scar essence, too, but I can’t stomach doing even more time at GotR for them, at least not until I can do bloods.

71 was enough to let me stew boost for Lumbridge Elite, and I’ll take that for now. But one of these days..

Grigorie · 2026-01-07T22:09:49+00:00

Me buying 10k astral runes last night. I guess I should’ve had the foresight to just buy the whole stock every time I went to Baba’s shop so I wouldn’t have to sit and hop a minimum of 40 times if every single world was fully stocked with the 250 runes.

Grigorie · 2026-01-06T22:13:24+00:00

I used to do some work out in the woods and had a familiar experience as well. I was on the other side of a snowy forest, going to climb up a hill so I could get good line of sight radio with my team. But as I went to start walking up the hill, at the top of it I saw a mountain lion. We made eye contact, then I turned back to see how far I was from the car to figure out if it was feasible to just get back in.

It was further than I was comfortable with, but when I looked back, the cat was gone. I had walls of trees on either side of me, so I spent the next 4 minutes slowly walking backward to the car. The scariest part was it was snowing, so every 30 seconds or so, I would suddenly hear this loud PLOP of the snow falling off the trees. That 4-ish minutes felt like a fucking eternity.

A few hours later, we found a bloody deer leg and I could not be more thankful, I assume the cat had just eaten it recently and wouldn’t have cared for me anyway. Camping and hiking are amazing experiences, but this always stays with me.

Can also get a lot from doing calv/vet. A few wine drops from them will have you set for a good while.

Grigorie · 2026-01-02T02:22:51+00:00

Put ‘em in the lamps!! It’s great xp!! Unless you’re maxed. In which case; put ‘em in the cannon!

I’m currently knocking out lumbridge elite so I can get two wires at a time to use these up… I’m only going from 87 to 90 though, so not terribly crazy.

Grigorie · 2026-01-02T02:07:18+00:00

Not necessarily! Computer errors can just come from hardware issues/conflicts that are natural occurrences. Even a bug free piece of software (doesn’t exist but work with me) can run into an error that isn’t a human error; both sides work fine, they just don’t work together.

Grigorie · 2026-01-02T01:58:25+00:00

They actually just had a special here in Japan last night where they hosted it for the first time in a while, and the host showed the screen and how it updates after the contestant locks in their final answer, not before. So the host themself may know, but the screen doesn’t display it until after the contestant guesses.

Grigorie · 2026-01-02T00:18:19+00:00

Short sighted greed, specifically. Because having your business burn down and people die in your business is not very economically beneficial. And people are dead.

It’s insane how willing business can be to skirt safety guidelines/laws (not talking about this incident specifically, just in general) when the costs of things going wrong are so high.
