@thetraderstan.bsky.social is there anything organized where i can see the progress the duo frogs have made this spring throughout the month or were the frogs too busy kissing each other?

Otherwise i'll have to compete next year just to document everything

I would understand if it was a decently size server for him to promote his channel but like, this literally had around 10 people at it's peak and even then it wasn't super popular/not many people stick with UIMs.

That's what makes it so weird to me.

It is a bit of a shame because while i still know a lot of this info, i also did spent a bit of time writing down money makers and training methods.

Fun fact: he rebranded the RS3 UIM channel we had (which tbf only had like 10 people).

I also don't know if he nuked the info or just took away the perms to be able to see it.

Just a weird person as a whole.

The writing side of youtube creation always alures me and then i'm instantly put off by some elitist thing they say and get reminded why i don't engage with it to begin with.

Like, how are we still sitting here shitting on people who listen to audio books because "thats no as good as reading"?

The thing is designed so the way you progress is to have to access a place that gives random rewards. That system is also the same one employed by social media. The alure of TikTok is that you don't know what video you're gonna see next, so you just scroll, and that cycle really catches people

I think what gets misundetstood about lootboxes is that the addictive nature is there when you put money in for a chance at a random reward. If that reward is worth real life money or not is meaningless to how addictive it can be. In fact gacha games seem bigger than CS skins, which sorta proves it.

As much as i like Valve games and Steam has been super useful in my teens by giving me access to video games, it is pretty hard to ignore this.

Worst of all is how they made it the standard for the industry. I know ppl jump on Valve's defence instantly, but on this they 100% deserve the criticism.

Just saw a RS thumbnail with the new UI for a second i was confused it was just a runelite plugin changing UI or what.

Making your game blend with a more popular game might not be the best decision.

They should make a restaurant menu but for music so i actually have a clue what options there are.

Without wanting to took my own horn, i spend around 6 months not just trying to read stuff about the wildy, going over update histories and design content for it to make the video i made

It's hard to spend that long working on someth just for ppl to dismisse antyhing you say because "you no pvp"

The inherant issue is that a lot of people simply are afraid of change. This goes for every aspect in the comunity (god knows the amazing discourse surrounding sailing lol).

So often times, despite how long you have been medling with a topic, it feels like talking to a wall which creates fustration

To be fair i never imagined it would have loads of content on release. OSRS really likes the slow burn of introducing base stuff first and then building on top of it, so i think this was always going to be the case.

The way men used to get upset at women because they were earning rights and as a results threatned the patriarchy, is the exact same way women are now getting mad at trans people for earning theirs.

"no but trans people getting rights is bad for us 🥺"

I fucking hate making thumbnails.

It's fine when it's just for videos i have a really strong vision for, but when i need to just make a video to get my thoughts out there? It's rough.

One last thing before i fuck off from BSky for the day: Yesterday i released a video about road to restoration and how it makes me feel. TL;DR: lots of mixed stuff, but an underlying feeling that doesn't make me too hopeful

Watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hBs...
