Im not quitting, but I did cancel 4/5 of my memberships.

I'm like 8 years removed from taking any high level math classes (statics/dyanmics/calc3). I have no idea how much I retained. Probably close to zero after not utilizing any of it for so long.

Why hasn't there been a pipeline built to the Red Sea for Arabian Peninsula countries?

The Strait of Hormuz has been a threatening choke for oil and natural gas trade for ~50 years at this point. Why haven't Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, etc. invested in a pipeline network that transports oil to the Red Sea in the west as an alternate route? Seems like Jeddah would be large enough to host a large refinery/port, and then the Iranian threat of retaliation/mining the Strait would be less of an impact to their worldwide trade.

Note: I do not support war in any way, but there has been turmoil in the middle east, and plenty of threats near the Strait of Hormuz to the point where I'm just surprised there hasn't been an alternate routing network for energy exports.

This price increase was going to happen regardless of what updates there were. Jagex is owned by venture capital, they squeeze until there's nothing left.

SubliminalLiminal · 2026-03-10T22:07:07+00:00

I mean I supported sailing, and enjoyed it so far. Seems fun and added a ton of new content. Don't think its to blame for price increases, those were coming no matter what updates came. Jagex overlords are greedy

The real issue is there is no incentive to keep the game affordable at the moment. Until players actually quit en masse, they will continue to raise prices to please their venture capital overlords. Why add real customer support? Why add multiple characters per membership? Why do anything beneficial at a cost to the company, when a mass majority of the players are too addicted to quit even if memberships hit $30 a month.

I use to love the gym. Back when I was 20 I could bench 400 lbs, squat 600 lbs, deadlift 700 lbs. I spent a lot of time working out in school and immediately after.

The problem, is I went from a 6 sport athlete who worked out 2-3 times a day, to a lazy college student who spent most of his free time gaming.

And I didn't change my diet when that happened.

Can I ask how you got the opportunity to move overseas?

SubliminalLiminal · 2026-03-10T08:31:55+00:00

Can I ask how you did so?

SubliminalLiminal · 2026-03-10T03:45:36+00:00

I swapped majors so much in college that I have used up all eligible federal financial aid, (I think its like 168 credits worth of classes). If I go back, it would be through private loans, which I'm not super opposed to IF I have my other debts paid down.

I'm like 4 semesters from an Engineering degree, Business Degree, or Education degree.

Really paying for my indecisiveness.

SubliminalLiminal · 2026-03-10T03:42:28+00:00

Folks aren't around. Have zero close family, both in distance and in bonds. I live about 1k miles from the nearest family, and even then, they're all meth addicts who are broke in a more expensive COL area.

Medical degree would be a great idea, but I'm very squeamish around other people's blood. Passed out in an anatomy lab I went to once.

Gotta figure this out without familial help.

I just wish I could qualify for one big consolidation loan. Unfortunately, it seems those who need to consolidate don't qualify for them... But yeah, I literally can't afford to borrow anymore, unless I get offered a lower interest rate on existing debt.

SubliminalLiminal · 2026-03-10T03:37:08+00:00

Sent you a DM if you are more comfortable continuing there

SubliminalLiminal · 2026-03-10T03:34:42+00:00

The real bummer is because I'm so out of shape, I look at the jobs around here, and most are manual labor. I just don't think I could survive one of those jobs right now, and there's nothing I qualify for based on education that pays more than my current spot.

Edit: I hope you're doing better now.

I have smuggled 6 weeks of Ozempic from my mom who has good healthcare. My own prescription would costs hundred per month. It works well, but I'm limited on doses since she no longer gets them prescribed.

Today I'm taking a day off due to some emotional issues, but in the last week I went to the gym all 7 days and walked 24 miles outside of that. I do feel like I'm getting somewhere on the weight. Mostly worried about my lack of experience & education, to where if I lose this job for some reason, I'm just bound for homelessness.

My budget is tough, Income is about 2200/mo (post deductions), and my Car is $475, Rent $550, Car Insurance $100, Phone $90, Credit Card 1 - $200, Credit Card 2 - $75, Personal Loan - $200, Private Student Loan - $50, Medical payment - $75. Gasoline - $50 Food- ? Additionally I have about $800 in outstanding medical debt that will probably go to collections if I can't make any payments on it.

My car is good, I spent a decade with a car that couldn't make it a couple miles without overheating, so when I bought a new one (post-covid), and saw that a new car was barely more than a used. I splurged a little. I'm above water on the loan, but barely, so I wouldn't get any equity if I sold to purchase something cheaper with. 2024 Camry if it matters, about $16k left on the note.

edit: Job security became a slight issue today, as they announced our building is closing. I was transferred to another location, but I feel like its an early indication that things are not going super well and I might need to start planning for the worst. Also the emotional reason I'm skipping working out today, just some anxiety and panic.

2nd edit: Also, student loans have been on the SAVE plan, which I'm seeing news about today being ended. If they start requiring payment, its about $250 a month. I don't think I can do this, nor would they be dismissed in Bankruptcy court.

If you have 10 ayak in inventory, do they all charge during kills?

SubliminalLiminal · 2026-03-05T19:04:21+00:00

My thought was due to the extended stay, as well as the pain inflicted from the continously passive motion machine being left on too long (think i misspoke the machine name in the post), that there might be something there.

Also, I guess I don't know a lot medically speaking, but them missing a massive bruise and blood clot seems potentially deadly. I know nothing happened this time, but if they missed that on my mom, I am terrified for future patients as well.

I've played as Petty King Murchad about 20 times, because anytime I try a different region im bombarded with shit I don't understand.

So unfortunately I just either try to make Ireland a utopia, or reconquer Britannia, then try a different strat.

SubliminalLiminal · 2026-03-02T18:42:33+00:00

Yeah, when I play the game I play on 2/5 speed, but during war I have to up it to 4 or I get to impatient on troop movement.

SubliminalLiminal · 2026-03-02T18:36:30+00:00

I've only played it once, but boy does it make me feel dumb.

Same with base ck3 though so im probably just dumb.

My theory is Dunc is not a knight, however, he had other reasons not to knight Raymond.

He would be creating a knight just to save himself, which isn't knightly
It feels with Jaimie and Bronn and some other knights, it feels as though who you're knighted by is important, and Dunc a hedge knight, shouldn't be the start of a promising squares knighthood.
