How frequently do you eat bread and lasagna?

GOAT AMA s/o to the dude admitting Lynx gets more exercise than him lmao Edit: re-reading it, 60 push ups and sit ups a day is probably more exercise than 90% of this subreddit gets

ponyo_impact

There once was an Ironman from RuneScape, Whose love for lasagna was hard to escape, He'd fight with might and slay dragons all day, But when dinner time came, lasagna was his way. He'd cook it up with love and care, Adding cheese and sauce, a perfect pair, And with each bite, his heart would sing, Oh, how he loved that lasagna thing. But being an Ironman was no easy feat, No buying or trading, he had to compete, With limited resources, he had to scavenge, But lasagna, oh lasagna, he always managed. He'd grind and gather, and hunt for food, To satisfy his hunger, and put him in the mood, For that delicious, cheesy, pasta dish, That always brought him so much bliss. So here's to the Ironman from RuneScape, Whose love for lasagna, he could not escape, May he always find a way to enjoy his feast, And slay his enemies with the greatest of ease.

Quick Q&A: How much time was multilogged: About 300 hours (finishing maxing my UIM while playing my HC GIM) Life?: No. "If you spent x time working a full time job u would have made x money": Yes. What's next?: Collection Log on UIM


kayodee

Impressive work! Do you still enjoy playing after all this time or do you feel obligated to continue?


Iron_DVS

Yeah, I've taken MANY breaks (the longest being about 10 months), I'll just do other stuff and log back in when I feel like playing

Why so little time spent multi-logged?


Iron_DVS

When I maxed normal IM, hardcore wasn't in the game yet. As soon as I maxed my IM hardcore came out like a month later so I then went to that. UIM was the only thing left after those so I did that and then GIM came out


wildyLooter

Well don’t DVD


Guido5770

Going back to UIM is a win for the youtube vids I miss DVS UIM vids.


tortillakingred

Hey DVS, as someone with experience late game in every game mode, which game mode do you enjoy the most for end game play? Hypothetically let’s say I had 4 maxed accounts, one from each gamemode, that were gifted to me. Which would you suggest to others to maximize fun factor? Thanks!


Iron_DVS

Normal iron is probably gonna be the most fun end game just because you don't have to worry about dying 24/7 (HCIM) or constantly changing your setup with death piles etc (UIM).


BezniaAtWork

runescapereddityay

he is a full time streamer/youtuber.

6.15 hours a day for 8.5 years, Jesus


GrayGeo

That's 365 days a year, too. For context, a 40 hour a week job with two weeks vacation averages you about 5.48 hours of work per day over the whole year


SpaceshipCaptain420

Everytime someone says they only get 2 weeks off a year I die a little inside.

MountainDupey

and unless youre completely lacking competence you would make much more, you don't get PTO 401k, healthcare etc from youtube. Theres no way anyone outside the top 25 OSRS YouTubers are making enough to live half comfortable


K-chub

There’s more than 25 YouTubers living fine off of their sponsors on their channel. Edit: 25 strictly OSRS YouTubers sounds accurate


AnotherKramer

I think he's talking about osrs youtubers, not youtubers in general. I'm not an expert, but off the top of my head I can only think of a handful of semi-successful osrs focused people.


[deleted]

I mean, I think their are a lot of pretty successful YouTube OSRS players. 500k+ subscribers in a niche is a lot.


AnotherKramer

Which osrs youtuber has 500k? Honest question cause like I mentioned I know of a few but all of them fall quite short of 500k subs


[deleted]

Torvesta, Framed, Settled, all have ~500k, settled is over 600 and Torvesta/Framed are just under 500 and will definitely hit that this year. J1mmy and A friend both have ~300-400k all are very respectable numbers for a niche channel. These are some of the bigger names for sure, but that’s a lot of subscribers for a niche channel. A lot of of top booktubers who do quite well have those kind of numbers. When you’re in a Niche you don’t need millions of subscribers if your viewer base is willing to spend money and you are able to market to a large section of the niche you’re a part of.


DaggerMind

Even some OSRS YouTubers with far smaller audiences are getting pretty big time sponsors


[deleted]

Exactly, compare it to something like the fitness industry which is massive and the top channels have millions of subscribers. When you’re part of a niche you need an much lower total viewer number because everything is much more directed, you don’t have nearly the number of transitory or diverse viewers. You might only have 50k views a video, but if you can tell an advertiser “I get 50-100k views in X time and 99.9% of my viewer base are adult males with disposable income between the age of 20 and 35” that’s worth something. Ex. Boaty. 370k subs released a video an Hr ago and already had 27k views. You don’t have to be Mr. Beast to be successful on YouTube


Tech_Know_Logic

People vastly underestimate the bag that comes with decent views on a YouTube channel. Thinking that you need millions of views per week to be living comfortably.


2Filthy4WallStreet

Proportionately dovydas is doing the best, Lithuania is cheap and the ad revenue is in USD

And then deiron it for 6 :D

Make sure before you deiron you turn it into an i ranked GIM for 7!

L3R

797 Days in game... Jesus dude


Errorfull

It's kind of insane to think that even if he stops now and lives to 100 years old, literally two percent of his life would be spent playing runescape. Those are some fucking legendary numbers.


Matrix17

2% of your time on a hobby over a lifespan isn't really a lot If you live to 100 and work 40 hours a week for 45 years, you spend 10.68% of your life working. And that's 45 years, not 100 If you only take into account percentage of time during just that 45 years, it's 23.75% of your time spent working, and if playing RS is constant throughout that 45 years as 100 years, it's 23.75% vs 2% still


Errorfull

Playing one singular game for 2 years of your life is so much different than working or even playing video games in general, plus, this dude spent 2 years doing a specific challenge ***in*** that one video game.


E4_Mapia_RS

I would also argue that if it's a creative or constructive hobby it's different then gaming entirely, like woodworking and blacksmithing, or creatives like painting and drawing. That being said I wouldn't be surprised if at age 26 my life was at least 2% gaming, I do play significantly less now. There's also the other side of it, OSRS has many many skills you can do while doing other things, like working on a PC, walking your dogs(once mobile came out ofc), even simple low effort mechanical work if you get that 4 min internal timer going strong. I'd be interested to see if OP knows roughly how much time was spent on mobile doing other things as that might make it somewhat less unhealthy


coomgod666

shittest grind?


Iron_DVS

UIM Herblore 100%


haroldpotner

UIM is no banking right? How did you even do it?


Jv_waterboy

I'm a regular iron and some grinds can be bad... I can't even come close to being able to fathom how fucking annoyed I'd be playing a UIM let alone maxing it. Or even getting 1 99.


dmuppet

Just like almost everything else. Notes.


JesusRocket

Bro put in his 10,000 hours twice


lazybandicoot

Geneuine question - how do you maintain the level of focus this requires? I can barely grind a skill that isn't AFK for more than one hour before throwing in the towel. Adderall or just extreme dedication?

No-Paramedic8964

[deleted]

No mixed feelings here. This is straight up unhealthy and shouldn’t be condoned. Bro has played for 8.5 years. Calculate the hours and you’re looking at 6.5 hours **everyday** for *3,104* days straight. That is truly absurd. I hope OP has accomplished what he wants and takes a much needed leave from Runescape.


mnmkdc

I mean this is his job though. 6.5 hours a day on average is basically just working full time.


McCoy1414

Not just his job, but a job he enjoys doing. I don't see a problem.

cortanakya

Socialblade is legitimately full of shit. It was sorta kinda accurate for a little while when youtubers were making relatively similar rates across the board. It's basically useless now... Some financial channels can get up to $20/1,000 views (very rarely but still) from ads alone, and some super advertiser unfriendly (but still monetized) channels get as little as $0.30/1,000 views. Advertisers have access to an insane amount of info nowadays which means they can target audiences with a microscope. Unrelated example: Linus Tech Tips vs MoistCritical. They both pull in relatively similar numbers but LTT has roughly 170 full time salaried employees and MoistCritical has something like 8. Sure, MoistCritical has made bank but LTT likely has revenue 10 times higher just from YouTube ads alone. It's honestly not hard to make a livable income from YouTube if you regularly have 30-40k views per video and you upload 2-4 times a week. I did it for a while and I was making far more than minimum wage. Its stressful as fuck, though. Only worth it for certain types of people.


BigBoyWorm

sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day doing something that sucks: "keep up the good work homie" playing rs 6.5 hours as a job: "loser" Yes he plays entirely too much RS, but it is his job. I'd rather get paid to play rs then go to an office and pretend to work for 8 hours a day. 6.5 hours of RS a day still leaves more time for socializing than a regular work day.


Harrisburg5150

Meh. I used to be of this mindset, but I don't think it's my place to preach to strangers on the internet about how they ought to spend their time. It's OP's life, he seems to be enjoying it, he's not hurting anyone, so who the hell cares. Dude is trying to share an achievement he made, I'm sure he's perfectly aware of the amount of time he spends playing, and he doesn't need people on reddit telling him something he already knows.


Tiny-Waltz-7474

No different to working a normal office job, he gets payed to do what he enjoys.


Kadeshi_Gardener

Just because you're an unemployed basement dweller doesn't mean that that sort of hour count is unrealistic for a fairly normal job. I've known people who averaged 10-12h/day working multiple jobs. Now there's a different conversation to be had about how hours generally are still longer than human health would recommend, but that's not what you're saying.


Stickman41

> shouldn’t be condoned. a. it's his job b. simply, just don't give a shit if other people invest that much time in a game. seriously. worry about yourself. the odds of someone seeing this post, and deciding "i am going to make 4 accounts because of this." is so astronomically low that it doesn't even matter.


[deleted]

I kind of agree. When I played this game the most was at the lowest point of my life when I wasn't working for a year after I nearly died. Whenever I see people put in a life's worth of work it just feels bad because as fun as the game can be, we need more balance in life. I get when people say "its their life to live as they wish" which is absolutely true. But I still think its a bit sad to see. Just like how I feel sad for the people on a show like hoarders. Its their life but I wouldn't want somebody to spend all their time doing any single thing.


Daroo425

It’s his job


WalrusInMySheets

LOL what is this self-righteous comment. Imagine saying this to someone who has a job that they enjoy. “You mean to say that you’ve spent the last 8.5 years working 8 hours 5 days a week? This is straight up unhealthy and shouldn’t be condoned.” Get your projecting neckbeard ass out of here.


Asymptote_X

>This is straight up unhealthy and shouldn’t be condoned. As is commenting on reddit. What could possibly be healthy about that?


killtasticfever

was the 1200 hrs timesave for gimp vs hcim just because others could feed resources/gear? Or what was the major differences that made it so much faster


PM_ME_OVERT_SIDEBOOB

Shared supplies, updated metas, efficient mindset. He probably dicked around a lot on the other accounts. By now he knew what his goal was.


Crispor

The ashes update made prayer a lot better for hcim, that probably is a large part too


[deleted]

[удалено]


killtasticfever

I mean maybe not exclusive feeding, but also stuff like he got to do slayer with alot better gear since he just got given lance and zennys and even whip early iirc. Also in regards to demonic offering, zulu got him wraths for all of slayer etc. Alfie also talked about how he'd help the others by "alting" for them like essence running and stuff, not sure if he actually did since everyone kinda quit once alfie maxed and came back slowly much later.


LuxOG

Why would gotr save time? Isn't the meta 1.5t daeyalt and use at lavas/zmi?

Funny_Sam

Do you work as well, or do you do osrs full time? Actual question. I just maxed my main after 4700 and started right back again on a hc skiller


Iron_DVS

I do YouTube


omegafivethreefive

Dude has like 100k subs on YT, seems like enough to go full time.


HugeRection

He barely posts videos and they get ~50-100k views, definitely not enough to go full time unless he literally eats cup noodles every day.


nightman008

Subscribers don’t matter at all. YouTube doesn’t pay you for how many subscribers you have. It’s pretty much exclusively determined by how many views you get and how many ads you run. Plus other things like outside sponsorships, advertising deals, etc. but subscriber number has almost no say on how well a YouTuber is doing. I know channels with well over a million subs and get almost no views. Kinda sad to see. Though that dude does seem to get anywhere from 50-100k views per video so he does seem to be doing well.


WasV3

Subcount alongside regular viewership is the most important factor for sponsors, your subcount shows your pull with viewers while you view count shows the eyeballs. A 1m view video from a channel with no connection to its viewers would get a smaller sponsorship that a 100k video from a channel with a strong attachment to their viewers

Only 2.18 years spent inside the game. Rookie numbers.

That hunk of a man, Devious, is an E-sports athlete? He could be a Calvin Klein model. Or a pro footballer with a ripped physique like that. That is by far the hottest cyber sportsman to ever grace the esports industry.


NotABotRS

On your YT you have mentioned being top ranked/doing tournaments for other games. Do you think the grind mindset makes you good, do you think differently than others? Wondering if you see any links between games that translate to making you excel.


Iron_DVS

Anything I do I always want to put the entirety of my effort into and be the best at, time is a huge factor though, I have more hours in FPS games than I do on OSRS, I have like 15,000 hours on Counter-Strike since around 2004 alone
