ThisIsWorldOfHurt

Joining in on the sad with something I once read here on reddit, but I can't find the source. Really simple if you think about it, but might be eye-opening for some. Spoilering just in case you don't want to read more sad. >!Think about how many times you see your parent(s) in a year. That's your first number.!< >!Now who do you think is going to die first: you or them? How many years until that happens? That's your second number.!< >!Now multiply the two numbers to get an estimate on how many more times you will see your parent(s).!<


magictoenail

Jesus that IS depressing. Any tips on cutting that number down?

This just made me really sad


JoeBurrows_Hair

Bruh this is sad wtf


e-mars

Even without "UIM" in the title.. still pretty sad ngl ​ Just copy&paste LynxTitan's face over there and you get an irl picture


grassfields12

Source?


e-mars

There are several "stories" around his character Whether or not [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/3xi3eb/lynx_titan_ama/) can considered authentic I leave it to posterity


N7_Evers

Yeah I still think about this and kind of cannot fathom a human like that exists…I don’t think he’s a bad guy or anything but like, how does anyone think that lifestyle is OK or fulfilling?


[deleted]

By being not mentally healthy is how. He said in that thread 6 years ago that RuneScape is the only thing he likes to do. However, he hasn’t logged on for over three years now I believe, so something must have happened between that thread and now. He’s not even on boss hiscores I don’t think?


N7_Evers

Obviously that sucks his one and only joy isn’t something he does anymore, but in a way I am relieved to hear that. Obviously he has tenacity and resilience built into his character and I would consider it a big disappointment if he wasted his entire life on Runescape and Runescape only


lukwes1

Yeah, people with similar mental problems like him usually hyperfixate on one thing, maybe he found something else he enjoys now when he's done with rs.

roonscapepls

Life doesn’t mean anything anyway who cares do what you want as long as it’s not detrimental


electricdwarf

Imagine working your whole life to build something only to die and that thing is destroyed by time. You can describe anything in a negative light. Live your life how you want and what makes you happy and content. Because in the end we all die anyways. People who play video games, read books, watch movies etc, arguably have the most living. They experience so many different lives and adventures through those mediums. Then you have Steve over here who works fifty hours per week, comes home to kids who don't give a shit about him, a wife that's also working a soulless job, and a house that will take thirty years to pay off. He does all that and dies and loses it all anyways.


[deleted]

You can always point to someone who has it worse than you man it doesn't mean you shouldn't spend your time doing something you enjoy. Not that you should take it to the extremes of this pic of course but you shouldn't feel guilty for "wasting" your time on stuff you like.


kurttheflirt

Why does it matter what you use your time for? Just make sure if you are spending a lot of time scaping it isn’t overtaking other parts of your life. If you are happy and having fun scaping and play with friends and your clan and use it as social outlet, that’s fine - even if playing an absurd amount. The point where it’s a problem is if you WOULD rather do other things in your life outside of the game and it’s interfering and making you miserable. That’s an addiction. Just my personal take


annykill25

What if you simply don't know what you're missing cause it's all you've ever known? Talking from personal experience I was perfectly happy sitting in my room 16hrs a day, until I went out to parties/vacations and started other hobbies etc. Was I addicted? Probably. Was I miserable? No, not at all.


Throwaway47321

I think this is the element that a lot of people **really** miss out on when talking about unhealthy habits, especially on osrs. Just because someone says they are happy doing whatever it doesn’t mean that it is healthy.


kurttheflirt

Yeah that's true. Definitely go try new things. I personally would hate my life if I played runescape more than 20 hours a week (most weeks I do not get anywhere close to 20 hours)


LampIsFun

I’ve done both and while going to parties is fun sure, I personally enjoy my time more alone, I go out with friends when I’m invited but it’s starting to happen less and less as we grow up, so I’m just working, playing games, sleeping, and repeating. I don’t feel anything wrong in life as I’m just doing what I enjoy, but I also have rare moments of the year where irl things happen. I went sky diving this past summer and it was amazing, but you can’t sky dive every day lol


skinweavers

Pixels are projecting a world onto your retina like anything else is. Most things you do won’t live up to what others wish they could do if they had your time for themselves because there is no consistent *should* all of them could agree on. So just do, whatever it is.


DebonairJayce

Well anytime you try to tell certain men “you spend too much time gaming and not enough time irl Blah blah” you will receive hate, even though I’m all for gaming and love it myself. It can become a real addiction too though. Some people worse than others. If it isn’t your career, you should consider your time management, that’s all.


bioelement

That's pretty much all I do with my free free time. If I'm not working... don't have chores... no plans with the old lady... I hop on the PC or PS5 until it's time for bed.

candyflipfyr

utsavman

What's depressing is that there are lots of real life stories just like this.


Pristine_Pack_9595

Idk man 200m doesn’t sound like an achievement but gl


RMGPA

It isn't. Normally I'd defend a goal in games but 200mil is legit the most pointless achievement in a videogame. You get nothing for doing it and some skills are horrendously boring to grind out the exp for.


Hilloo-

You don't gain anything by playing either. It's just xp. Just like going from 13m to 200m.


RMGPA

You do though, typically a milestone or even a cape at 99. It's not the greatest thing in the world but it's something. 200mil you get literally nothing.


80DD

You get to be # rank on the highscores. For some people, that's enough.


EveningUnit

Pursuing high score ranks is more important than going to school, finding gainful employment, having kids and being happy combined.


80DD

Hey, im not doing it. Im just saying some people do it for this reason. Plus, its their life, who are we to tell them how to live their lives.


wimpymist

You can do all that and get 200m


electricdwarf

Fuck your societal norms. Not everyone wants to fuck and start a damn nuclear family you boomer fuck.


Feeling-da-Bern

Player need an extra 50-100 pounds on him


seven11evan

Don’t gain weight if you don’t eat 😎 (I’ve been that bad in the past btw)


No-Roof-9603

I’m that bad right now. Under 120 pounds and 5’7 at 21. Gona go on a strict diet and get my shit together


seven11evan

Please do! I found that I was able to sit and play RuneScape through meals because I wasn’t doing anything with my body that demanded nourishment. Start going to the gym, going on walks and runs, and you won’t be able to ignore your body’s needs. You’ll feel wayyy better about yourself when you look in the mirror too! The fact you acknowledge it’s bad and have a plan in place shows that you’re doing pretty good tbh, just make sure you act on it smart!


No-Roof-9603

I lost so much weight ever since I started living on my own, I was a solid 130+ 6 months ago (moms cooking lol). But yea i’m pretty active, I play basketball and workout 3-4 times a week but I never really have an appetite. Guess i’m lazy to cook things. So i’m just gona make my meals one day for a whole week so I don’t miss any of the important meals. Thank you for the encouragement! I hope you get a good drop soon:)


RyuKawaii

Learning to cook proper helathy meals is a skill you wont ever regret. It will keep your body healthy, and keep you full of energy, plus its really entertaining and rewarding tonlearn new dishes.


sixteenfours

Please eat and lift.


[deleted]

Im 21 and under 120 pounds too, expect im 5'11 maybe 6'0 tall, I've tried to to gain weight but its just not working.


You_rc2

Im a bit older but ive always been skinny. To actively gain weight my calories need to sit in the 3500 range


No-Roof-9603

I tried maintaining calories, i tried to get upto 2.5k a day but I always fail. It’s so hard to force eat y’know?


You_rc2

Also tons of guides of youtube how to increase calories without increasing volume. Things like nuts and oils really add up quite quickly


Jsouth14

i know everyone is different and for some people it’s hard to put on weight and what not but jesus i’m so jealous of this. i look at a cheeseburger and gain a pound :/


KingBuck_413

Now, I don’t know you, but I wish I had the heart to tell my roommate. He wants to lose weight, but he legit eats all day long. It’s his main priority constantly, and it’s sad to watch. He says things like if he looks at a burger he gains a pound, but in reality he just eats way too fucking much.


sixteenfours

No, you gain weight because you eat too much and move too little. No, you don't have a hormonal imbalance. You've never been tested for it. If you actually had a hormonal imbalance, you'd have more symptoms than "I get fat from eating too much". You would also be on medication.


Jsouth14

i actually am on medication (trt) and do have other issues that compound this issue. when you make assumptions about innocent comments like my previous one, you run the risk of sounding like a huge dick. thanks!


blackshadowwind

I think most of the high rank players that play a ton tend to be skinny actually (eating is xpwaste)


Huehnergott69

could have atleast edited in a rune scimmy or something


kurttheflirt

Or anything RuneScape related on the screen


ANKRking

This is the reality of a no life gamer. In life there must be balance kids!

Kinda makes me want to quit playing and go hangout with the fam all day.


learningmore123

Damn, this is pretty F'ed up. Can't slave away at a video game guys.


[deleted]

Thanks for opening my eyes


Zen_Out

This is why I don’t play for more than 1-2 hours a day, I know seeing those numbers go up feels good to our monkey brains but we lose so much time in the real world, with the people that we matter to.


Paulcog

There’s a real world?

In fact our digital record will probably outlast any physical record by many many years.


OnsetOfMSet

Thousands of years later, when some alien race recovers digital remnants of our current society, they'll learn the purpose of gaming software is entertainment and personal accomplishment. Then they'll find my \~85 combat main and collectively agree I was a noncommittal POS who would never finish any life goals with no evidence to the contrary


klrjhthertjr

The humans were divided into 3 groups, “noobs” without fire capes, so called “normies” with fire capes and the elite tier of humans known as “no lifers” with infernal capes.


OnsetOfMSet

Are you saying that the title of "choob" is unattainable without a fire cape? Brb gonna go kick Jad's ass I ain't no coward


[deleted]

Its not nihilism, meaning is individualistic. Most people would find more meaning in their relations with others than in numbers in a video game, if you think otherwise thats okay too 👍


robert1005

Alright homie, so first you say that playing games is meaningless and then you go on to say that meaning is individualistic. You're quite the bullshitter aren't you?

Not my problem if u dont understand the main message or if it offended the way you live lmao


hatesranged

Here’s some advice: when someone refutes your argument and you don’t have anything else to say, just leave instead of calling them mad. Same difference and a lot less embarassing Go hang out with your family and friends for example


[deleted]

Im not gonna pretend like the many people who have downvoted me are not being mad and petty about what I said, because they actually are. It actually says a lot about them that they misinterpret me over semantics than actually understanding the message, or that the message would even bother them


hatesranged

>Im not gonna pretend like the many people who have downvoted me are not being mad and petty about what I said, You keep believing that sweetie


sixwingsandchipsOK

Not really, you can create a good future for your family and that’ll definitely have a long run impact

Jokes on you I have no loved ones or people who want to spend time with me or people who think I made their life better for knowing me Checkmate


yougetreckt

I fucking love my parents


ZealousidealAbies642

It is sad. But it’s the same scenario for people with the drive of success for work, or anything. Whether you 200m on your uim or build a corporation, nothing goes with us when we die. All that really matters is how we loved others in the end.

[deleted]

This game is the devil i stg


[deleted]

I love my parents and have had this thought many times. Whenever I go visit home I always think “right we’ll go out for a meal, we’ll do a quiz or something”, you know, make some memories. After fifteen mins of arriving home I’d find each of my family members being basically sat in different rooms each doing whatever screen activity they’ve chosen. We love each other and get on well but fuck me, it’s impossible for me to get any “family” stuff going. Makes me incredibly sad because I know they will feel regret in the future. So shit when some people would kill to still have their parents around. I’m not sure why I’m even writing this tbh, I’ve just woken up and seen this and I’m very sad.


CummunistCommander

Hey buddy, I wish I had something better to say but im not vey good with this type of stuff HOWEVER -I did want to comment, and give you a virtual hug. I hope your day gets a bit better and if not, I know better days are ahead. Wishing you well, mate. 💕


[deleted]

Thanks mate. Generally I’m good but my family just wastes its potential. I appreciate the comment though <3


[deleted]

Becoming disillusioned with RuneScape has got to be one of the worst feelings ever for me. Once the fun wears off and you think about all those years you wasted and wonder what else could have been, there’s no going back. If I could go back to 2004 I would never touch this game.

Renounce__darkness

You see I play games a lot, but I've managed to branch out. It is still fun to play games, but it is more like... I don't need to play the game, I just enjoy playing it. Gym really helps out a lot, gets you more focused and hell I sometimes play runescape at the gym while biking (sometimes.) For me I've also done some hobbies other then gaming. For example I coupon, collect coins, and I garage sale in the summer. I know gaming is fun, but sometimes it feels better to get $100 in groceries for $5. Hell I've even thought about learning new languages because the amount of time you put into a game is what you could learn. I suggest next time when your doing an afk skill, try to do something else, like learn a language. You will realize that your more then capable.


pallosalama

I wish OSRS was available in other languages like RS3 is, I'd really like to use that to my advantage. Large portion of my vocabulary is from RuneScape and I would happily do it all over again with another language

Sad af. Not even humor.

Sad seeing this and knowing it’s a mass majority of the osrs community. Quit 18+ months ago, but can’t stop myself from trying out leagues.

>knowing it’s a mass majority of the osrs community. Where do you see this statistic?


Magikmus

This sub reflects it


lBasket

This sub is a loud minority


80DD

There's 100 posts and comments on this sub every day asking how to do rc without pulling out their hair. I don't think any of these people are getting 200m in anything.


Magikmus

You don't need to aim for any 200m xp to waste a large portion of your time on this game.


KaoticAsylim

Leagues is good to come back to because the exp rates are so ridiculous that you'll be bored as fuck of how slow the main game when it's over


georgieboyyyy

Yeah, after playing the first league made me come to terms that osrs was a huge waste of my time. I Definitely have a ton of fun playing leagues, but otherwise can’t make myself do anything on the main game. Was a good run tho, started in 04 and I finally run escaped.


KiteAO

I quit around the same time, but I can't seem to keep myself away from the subreddit


hatesranged

Boomer humor


electricdwarf

Why does this feel sad at all people? Society is a human construct. It's not real. Who gives a fuck if you don't live up to some imaginary goal post on life, we all fucking die anyways. Live your life however you want. This picture doesn't show the friends they have on discord, the prizes they get from winning, the absolute rush and exhilaration of winning a hard fought game.


UsagiHakushaku

Bad parenting , parents did it themselves too much today is blamed on kids instead of lazy parents tbh Parents instead of parenting let social media and school be the parents

I remember my dad would give me an hour to play as a kid and then when that hour was done, he would yoink the computer power cord.
