Pet peeves: The return (Part 3)

Did they handle Prifddinas content in OSRS well? One of my biggest gripes of RS3 when I played was that once you could be there, it turned into Prifscape. Literally everything you could ever want was there. It had its own GE, the best training methods. There was no reason to leave.

Looks very mighy. Mighty enough to crush a long foreshadowed Fremmenik god like an hour into his own quest. (Yes I’m salty about that despite not having played it for myself.)

The bloodlines game told me I was either tremere or malkavian but other tests consistently go gangrel.

Loner weirdo walking id, sure I can live with that. I’m in tune with my inner beast and your babylon politricks makes my head hurt.

Thankfully they also avoided doing this. Prifddinas does have some useful stuff like The Gauntlet which is basically dungeoneering lite with only one boss and has some pretty damn great rewards if you get lucky or otherwise Just Very Decent rewards that makes it also worthwhile money-wise to grind in hopes of those big rare drops. Like Dungeoneering, you can’t take any gear of your own into it, so it’s risk-free to learn the boss. Challenging, but worth it once you learn it.

You also have Zalcano which is a mining boss, though I hear it got botted to hell pretty much instantly, so it’s only something of a novelty these days. The agility course is a nice change of pace from rooftops, the elf thieving opportunities are decent thieving XP, and it has the single closest anvil to a bank in the game.

But at the same time it made sure that there’s no G.E. or best in slot training methods for literally every skill in the game. Prifddinas is useful for the niche content it offers, but not to the point it replaces everything else in the game.

The Fremennik runecrafting lore is super cool and I elect to ignore what they did with V :nail_care:

The cat may be the only physically living thing i hang out with, its true (and yeah, I’d love to know what he thinks)

But i’m a recluse with a computer and the internet.

i refuse to take any responsibility for my actions because that would mean i am at fault and i do not like that

Say, is it just me, or, if the name Earth wasn’t real (and we weren’t desensitized to it from sheer repetition), it would be the kind of name we’d expect to find in a fantasy story?

Just for the fun of it, imagine that it’s not an English word and you indeed found it in a fantasy story. And think how you would mentally pronounce it.

Erf.

Just stick with Tellus. Calling it Terra will only encourage the worst people.

Terrans.

[starcraft noises intensify]

Humus.

You know, Vulcans come from Vulcan, Romulans come from Romulus, and Humans come from Humus.

Logic.

Okay gamers, my irl job workload is such that I literally don’t have time to sleep tonight - so I’d like to invite you all to witness a grown man (me) slowly losing his mind to the warm embrace of Microsoft Office.

Assuming I haven’t been reduced to some sort of Gollum style creature and lost all sentience by then, I’ll report back in an hour to let you know how I’m getting on.

How did this come to pass?

I won’t lie to you about your chances, but you have my sympathies.

Long story short, few weeks ago some colleagues went off long term sick, and I was the lucky inheritor of all their work :’ )

Unfortunately the suddeness of my inheritence left me with little time to actually plan anything, so ever since Ive scraped out every additional hour that God sends trying to get it all done.

Its a tough gig but I live in peace knowing I will get my reward in heaven

An honourable mention:

Dragon Slayer II. A powerful sequel to the old classic. Challenging boss fight, pretty interesting lore, and the bad guys are an awoken cult of Dragonkin who want to bring the world back to the way it used to be and subjugate mortals under dragon supremacy by releasing a new breed of experimental dragon mutates upon the world to undo the work of the makers–

Oh, that’s the plot of Dragonflight as we know it so far.

Ah, I have once had days where 2-3 people had to man an 8-person team and I developed a look that could kill a man at thirty paces if they dared approach my desk unannounced

You have my sympathy

Update:

I survived the unpaid nightshift

Now I must survive the paid dayshift

Yet despite my lack of sleep I dont feel the slightest bit tired

Instead I have never felt stronger

The madness fuels me

Here’s hoping it doesn’t hit you like a truck half way through the day, because that’s my experience.

I’ll keep your suffering in mind as I nap.

Peeve: the left shoulderpad of the Horde Darkshore warfront set is angled improperly, resulting in perpetual clipping on Forsaken, the race they were made for. I can’t ever unsee it anymore and it bothers me immensely
