Haphazard Happenings: XXII Edition

I guess it’s time to make an update.

Not much has been happening lately. I’ve added a few videos to my channel, but they’re not really suited to anyone in particular; I’ve simply begun compiling some clips I’ve accumulated over the last year while playing RuneScape because I’ve been documenting my journey through the game, and it’s not going very well.

For starters, the game seems to have a mind of its own and as such appears to find pleasure in coming up with new ways to torture me in the dumbest of ways. For a 21-year-old game, it’s not very well-designed: everything in the game is plagued with design hiccups and minor annoyances to such a degree that doing anything is a test of patience. Quite literally, playing the game is an act of face-desking futility as every session is littered with these annoyances that just build up.

I wish Jagex would stop trying to make the game about all this bossing bullshit and just let it continue to be the laid-back adventure it used to be. But, no, we have to cater to… whomever and add all these dumb fucking bosses to the game and fuck up the economy with the de facto gambling mechanic (the so-called “Treasure Hunter” bullshit), which is designed to suck up money from the retards that are dumb enough to pay for the damn thing.

No, really, tell me why anyone would spend money on that thing. Unless they’re actually retarded, that is. During the Christmas event, people kept discussing buying these keys in bulk – some turd even lamented his inability to purchase more because his daily limit was reached! Are you that dense that you think you’re going to get your stupid fucking green Santa hat that’s going to tank in price anyway? Knowing the absolute crackheads at Jagex, they’re probably going to bring it back as a regular, seasonal item. Some fucking rare item you got!

On another note: fuck this fucking game for being such a fucking piece of shit that removed the trimmed masterwork armor some guy dropped! Had I been there ten seconds earlier, I could have picked up the whole set instead of just the legs and boots! I’m still salty over that, and I’m not going to stop complaining until my streak of bad luck in this game ceases to be such a persistent cunt!

Fuck, shit, ass, balls! This game keeps pissing me off, and yet I keep coming back like some dog that won’t stop coming back despite getting the shit beaten out of it every time. Is this some kind of special case of Stockholm syndrome?

Whatever. At least I’m getting content out of it since I’m recording it. Too bad nobody watches it, but then I’ve been running my channel under this very expectation for almost a decade now.

Ecce ludi auctores britannos, qui ludum etiamnum gerris suis confringunt. Aut ineptitudinem eicite, aut ludum augere desinite! Nempe quidquid facere statuatis, scelestis iam placuistis stultitia vestra.

Oki, I’m done. Back to the lurking…
