This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

Today's game is Old School Runescape. I was in the mood to hop on and mess around in the game, so i booted it up and did the Cake Quest (finally). It took me a while to find the bucket for the milk, but i eventually did it. While i was looking for the Dairy cows i found these goblins watching the Cows. I don't know if they're busted or Runescape's goblins are friendly, but they don't seem to attack me. I sat back and watched for a while until a player came by and slaughtered the cows and i went back to looking for the dairy cows.

Finding the bucket was difficult, and i spent a good 10 minutes looking. But eventually i found one in the basement of the Castle. I also made sure to grab a jug i needed for the flour nearby so i could future proof.

While searching for the mill i found another goblin, this one just watching the ducks. He seemed like a chill guy and i watched the ducks with him for a bit.

Finally though, i returned to the castle and turned in everything for the cake. It took me nearly 2 years to finally get around to this quest (the fact that i usually only hop on to dick around doesn't help either) but i finally did it. I even got a shiny little achievement for it. I was going to also look into buying a house tonight but it turns out the Houses are reserved for members only and i'm not really down for paying for a subscription for this game (or really any game).

Instead i left my player to squat in this random house with a cat i found until i finally log back on to mess around again half a year later. If he's anything like me he'd appreciate the cat.

I love how casual it is. A lot of MMOs I feel like are very heavy fantasy, but RuneScape just goes wild which I love

That is so true! And there (atleast when I played) wasn't much group content so you never had to stress about that either (unlike in other mmos)

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The minimal group content is very much appreciated lol. I know it kind of goes against the point but i don't like really doing group stuff

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 days ago

Same, mostly because it's not relaxing anymore and you need to manage time as well. I can't always commit so much time unfortunately and we all know how toxic some MMO players can be! (not always but yeah)
