I figured I'd better mark this date (11/28/2023). I maxed my silly little account. Got the big 2277. All it took was being unemployed for 2 months but I did the dang thing and no one can take that away from me. Unless they hack my account and take it away from me.
So there's a really REALLY good like 3+ hour video that explains why OSRS kicks so much ass. Definitely go watch that.
All I can say is that I spent very long, very intimate hours with every skill in this game and even the ones I thought I'd hate I eventually grew to love. There is a constant forward progress in OSRS. Every thing you do is always a step forward towards your goal. It's like doing the dishes or shoveling the driveway. Each action gets you closer to the finish line, there aren't really any step backwards to a number going up. As someone who does not like to waste his time I got a lot of quiet, peaceful, zen-like satisfaction from my 3000+ hours of gameplay.
Instagram also informs me that these are all symptoms of autism and as far as I'm concerned a max OSRS account is as good as an official doctor's diagnosis.
NOTES:
I will admit that I may be exaggerating with the "love every skill" thing. Aside from artifact stealing I think thieving sucks eggs. I also think firemaking was saved by the new afk method introduced recently. The only viable way of training it before was wintertodt and wintertodt is like a recruiting ground for bigots. I can only read so many racial slurs before I quit and train something else.
Also I am employed again. So that's cool.
