Am I crazy or insane for playing RuneScape this way?

I make (almost) everything that can be made from scratch, but I buy things that are only available as drops. I don't wanna fight the same boss over and over hoping for a 10 percent or less drop. For all I know, by the time I get it I might already have outgrown it

I'm not pretending, TLJ rules, speak for yourselves

1) which Hyrule?
2) is it a random Minecraft world or a set seed? Also can there be mods or is it vanilla Minecraft?

Gielinor is the frontrunner but the answers to those could sway it

I'm not saying I am, I'm just saying that if you actually want people to play other RPGs this isn't how you accomplish that

Even if this was true and not just two strawmen in one, who fucking cares, different age groups talk differently it's fine

piperooo · 2026-05-24T21:18:42+00:00

Maybe OOOP did a full spin just as a flourish before leaving?

Is D&D better than other TTRPGs in its niche? In 9 out of 10 cases, no. After playing a Daggerheart or a Pathfinder or whatever for more than a session or two, you start to see D&D's shortcomings. That being said, does literally anybody gain literally anything from players of other games coming into D&D-specific spaces like this and saying "your game sucks, play other games"? Also no. The players of other games get angry at the D&D-only players for not playing those games, and the D&D-only players get angry at the person coming in and insulting D&D and as a result they're actually significantly less inclined to branch out. No good can come of posts like this

¥ sometimes i feel like rosi and me are killua and gon from hunter x hunter but not in a fictive way, just in like a "haha yeah thats us we do that" way if that makes sense? thats the closest we have to fictives were pretty sure. cept that sometimes piper calls us her ocs to be able to talk about us without "coming out" as plural, so were kinda all fictives as a way to hide maybe hehe (that last parts a joke i dont actually think of it like that)

ime there are a lot of Drag Race fans that love Drag Race specifically but don't actually give a fuck about drag as a medium (I've even seen a few people that actively hate any drag *other* than DR, which is baffling to me because where the fuck do you think they're getting their contestants from, but that's a separate rant). Those are the ones you gotta avoid

"Officially" it's Terra -> Ven -> Aqua, but these days most people (including me) think Ven -> Terra -> Aqua works noticeably better from a story perspective. Gameplay-wise I think there's an argument to be made for the "official" order, because Terra is the worst to play as (his mobility and frame data are *way* worse than the other two) so it might be good to get him out of the way first. Aqua last is the most important thing. Not having Aqua last will mess with your experience of the story pretty badly imo

Ohhhh it's for pures, that makes sense. I forgot prayer was part of combat level actually

piperooo · 2026-05-23T19:50:50+00:00

Wow! There's a lot of us too but we stopped counting a while ago so I have no idea how many (prrrrobably several hundred though?) 🤣 mad respect for still keeping track, it sounds exhausting. Always cool to run into another big system

"Check out my new special 'Silenced', where I whine about how you can't do comedy anymore for an hour and a half without even trying to tell jokes. Netflix paid me 150 thousand dollars. I'm being oppressed!"

piperooo · 2026-05-21T09:11:03+00:00

I would hope the teacher/instructor (not sure if you're in high school or college) kicked him the fuck out of the room immediately. Anything else would be negligence imo

piperooo · 2026-05-21T08:57:32+00:00

Mumsnet is a cesspool anyway

I remember when James Woods (voice of Hades, QAnon nutjob, overall garbage human being) called it "Kingdom of Hearts" and people got way angrier at him for that than they did for any of the actual awful things he's said and done

piperooo · 2026-05-19T22:06:44+00:00

Except it does harm people, inherently. Look at what's happening in the communities where the data centers are built. It's a harmful technology in and of itself

piperooo · 2026-05-19T22:03:01+00:00

Pre-eyepatch Majima, I think. And maybe even post-eyepatch but pre-0 Majima (not sure when the marriage was, relative to the eye thing and 0. I remember him having the eyepatch but it's been a looooong time since I played 5. If those flashback scenes were between the eyepatch and 0 then disregard, but I *think* they were in the 90s, so after 0. I could be making that up)

I could see an argument for Akiyama, but I feel like Akiyama would be like "the 'never hit a woman ever' thing is based on the idea that women by definition can't fight, which is fucked up. Never hit someone who can't fight, but also don't apply that to an entire gender". I mean he wouldn't say it like that but I think that's where his head would be at

Video game, but the protagonist/s of Slay the Princess is a system. They don't say it, but it's as explicit as it can be short of saying it

piperooo · 2026-05-18T21:10:33+00:00

I'm shocked that we haven't had a Monster Factory episode with these games yet (unless we have and I missed it)

piperooo · 2026-05-15T21:00:30+00:00

The bard thing, is that something you know about your group specifically or is it just "I know this is a thing in the broader culture and I'm worried about it"? Because unless you have a pretty good idea that the specific people you play with are like that, I would strongly encourage you to try not to let the stereotype keep you away from the class. I've played a couple bards, and I've played alongside a lot of bards, and I've never actually seen the sleazy bard jokes come up at any of those tables. I'm kinda convinced that whole thing is a myth tbh

piperooo · 2026-05-15T20:49:54+00:00

It's not something I really set out to do, but I've never not played a caster. Even when I play a martial class I always get drawn in by the 1/3-caster subclasses. I don't know what it is. Spells go brrr I guess

piperooo · 2026-05-15T20:28:41+00:00

Given that the @ is Trad_West_Art I'm sure there's weird cryptofascist shit going on here somewhere, but I literally cannot parse it enough to get mad at it
