RuneScape turning 25 is honestly wild, because it forces me to do the math and realize I’ve been playing this game for longer than it hasn’t been in my life. In this episode, Oxie and I bounce between the present (burnout season is real) and the past—how we got into RuneScape as kids, what we did when we had no clue what we were doing, and why those early memories still hit harder than any “efficient” grind. We also talk about how weird it is being OSRS creators while simultaneously not wanting to log in, because sometimes the brain just says “no” and you end up doing nothing in-game. On the gameplay side, I’m grinding tormented demons and it’s exactly as thrilling as it sounds: lots of movement and prayer swapping for drops that make you question your life choices. We hit the usual XP Waste vibes—mid-game reality, group iron supply problems, salvaging/merchanting talk, and the eternal “do I really want to go do Tithe Farm for a seed box?” energy. We wrap it all around the big anniversary moment and roll straight into the community question: what were your predictions for the Winter Summit?
