Sadly I missed the 1st half of Art ๐ŸŽจ weekend hosted by @jingely.bsky.social but on Sunday 9th August please do tune ๐Ÿ“ป in with me to watch "Exploring Impressionism in RuneScape". I love the idea & am super excited to watch, details โœ๏ธ in the post below, be sure to put it in your calendar ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ! #RS3 #OSRS

Hello everyone. We have a replacement date for the 2nd half of art weekend! Sunday 9th August 11am-5pm BST. I've reformatted the schedule a little to hopefully make it even MORE interesting - intersecting watercolour with impressionism + in Runescape landscape! Thank you for your patience

It's no substitute for the frankly beautiful ๐Ÿ˜ Guthix โš–๏ธ hybrid armour but I do like @jagexjerv.bsky.social's reward designs for OSRS' upcoming 4th Raid, The Fractured Archive. Beeeeeg book could do with being Green-er ๐Ÿ’š but Mage Spec is a yes from me. Obligatory is the CLEAR winner.

A big book, a tome even, two handed? With Guthix iconography on the front and a green bookmark ribbon. It looks sick.Left: Tzhaar Ket Breaker, ball and chain flail, red, oblong, chunky spikes
Middle: Titanic Breaker, ball and chain flail, bluey purple (read Xau Tak), oblong, pointy chunky spikes 
Right: Obligatory, ball and chain flail, green, round, sharp pointy spikes

No, no, that isn't me on the latest Sae Bae cast. I came up with Ingus Wraith sometime in 2007 thanks to Final Fantasy 3 releasing on the Nintendo DS & reading Skulduggery Pleasant (genuinely fantastic book ๐Ÿ“š series, highly recommend them). My name also predates the similarly named Warframe.

If you haven't already please take a minute to share your thoughts in OSRS' "Quarterly Survey" (isn't this the first of these this year tho?). I have been playing less & Yes it's because Jagex abandoned the LGBTQ community who made OSRS popular in 2013. Pride ๐ŸŒˆ belongs in Gielinor. Fuck Mod North.

Question 4: Thinking about the last 3 months, have you played OSRS more or less than usual?
Answer: Much less than usual.Part of my answer to why I've been playing less
"You cancelled Pride for two years, you partner with known bigot Odablock and openly support Kick streaming. Pride belongs in Gielinor"

Still in the Netherlands ๐Ÿงก till tomorrow, visited Duinrell the FROG theme park (& it's adjacent water park). It was decidedly weirder than Efteling. Anyway, this fascinating room offers up the perfect choose your frog ๐Ÿธ character through time, who are you picking?

I interrupt my Pokรฉmon Heart Gold posting (1st time, go find the thread ๐Ÿงต, it's great) to return to OSRS to say Jagex, what the frack is this? Can't have a Pride ๐ŸŒˆ event, Jagex back the "Politics in muh Vidya game" crowd of philistines then run an event parodying *The Crusades*!? Fuck. Mod. North.

Inspired by @kalphitequeer.bsky.social's Pokรฉmon write-ups โœ๏ธ (which I highly recommend btw) I started up Heart Gold.

Jagex "forgot" to buff the SunSpear ๐Ÿ˜ญ again in today's OSRS update. Some Sailing ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠโ›ต๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒŠ updates here too, specifically for Deep Sea Trawling ๐Ÿšข, but they STILL don't address the two biggest pain points for me: losing netted fish on a disconnect & emptying fish crates.

Gotta say I'm insanely jealous of the new RS3 ability to have neighbourhoods of up to 5 houses ๐Ÿ˜๏ธ together, I'd love to see this come to OSRS in the future. Can't wait to see the HOA drama unfold ๐Ÿคฃ.

2026 has been the year ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ of me ticking โœ… off huge multi-year OSRS grinds. Earlier I green-logged ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ““ Aerial Fishing ๐Ÿฆ…. Now I've completed the Morytania Elite Diary I can finally go back to Slayer (my account goal from ~2.5yrs ago) *Obviously* I couldn't do Slayer without the full exp BoneCrusher ๐Ÿ˜….

Screenshot of me catching a Shark ๐Ÿฆˆ bare-handed off the Morytania coast for the Elite Diary task. Dangerous stuff, but I'm one of Guthix's bravest lil soldiers.My Barrows Collection Log at 328kc showing 18/25 spaces filled. I think that's pretty good as on average it takes 2k chests to get one of each item. The only set I completed is Torags which isn't super useful. I'd have like Dharok & Veracs. Still it's enough for the Morytania Elite Diary TaskScreenshot of my completion of the last Elite Morytania Diary task, loot the Barrows chest whilst wearing a full Barrows set (in this case Torags, the only full set I have)Me telling Le Sabre that I've completed the Morytania Elite Diary! Wahooooooooooo
Now I have the full exp-giving BoneCrusher I can finally go back to training Slayer which I obviously /couldn't/ do otherwise /s

Am I the only one who thinks the OSRS blog ๐Ÿ—ž๏ธ schedule ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ is kinda nuts? It felt weird to me that the rewards blog for Wyrmscraig (I'm calling this island ๐Ÿ๏ธ Craig from now on) and Fractured Archive released on the same day, 7th July. Wouldn't you want to space these out to foster better discussion?

Screenshot of the OSRS website news posts showing both the Wyrmscraig and Fractured Archive reward blogs being published on the same day, 7th July.

I feel like I've spent most of my posts this past year or so cataloguing Jagex's Ls in relation to OSRS but oh well, here we go again. It is absolutely galling to me, as a follower of Guthix โš–๏ธ almighty, that the Guthix themed armour set has been dropped from Raids 4: The Fractured Archive. ๐Ÿ˜”

Concept art by Mod Jerv for the Raids 4 hybrid magic & melee armour which is a beautiful blend of chonky tank armour and delicious Guthixian imagery and colours (read green)

In lieu of this news ๐Ÿ“ฐ article (๐Ÿ”— www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...) about RuneScape turning 25 there is one very important omission. RuneScape survived to be 25 *because* of the LGBTQ community ๐Ÿซ‚, not despite it. Pride ๐ŸŒˆ belongs in Gielinor. Fuck Mod North.

With the Blood Moon Rises ๐ŸŽ‘ now released in OSRS, is there more information on the Astronomy ๐Ÿ”ญ of RuneScape? If (as @oldschool.runescape.wiki trivia states) the smaller planet is Gielinor, is the larger Vampyrium? Are "our" moons called Zanaris & Ranul? oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Large_orrery

Large orrery - OSRS Wiki

A large orrery can be built in the globe space of the study in a player-owned house. It requires 95 Construction to build and gives 1,420 experience when built. The player must have a hammer and a saw...

I've been gifted the Warhammer 40k Introductory Set (super excited to build, paint ๐ŸŽจ & fight ๐Ÿ˜) which sent me to the attic ๐Ÿชœ in search ๐Ÿ”Ž of my old kit. Found 1000pts of (terribly) painted Space Marines (>15yrs old), a somehow unbuilt Inquisition Razorback (!?) & 1k pts of Dark Elves (not pictured).

A picture of my current Warhammer 40k haul, the Introductory Set (Space Marines Vs Tyranids), an unbuilt Deathwatch Transport (I'll make it into a Grey Knight Razorback one day) & 1000pts of half and/or terribly painted Space Marines, a scout squad, a land raider, 2 tactical squads, a devastator squad a psyker and an assault squad with chaplain in jetpack.
The assault squad is only primed black, the rest is dreadfully painted in red with little to no detailing. It's like an orc threw a tub of red paint over the models.

I've seen some chatter about post-quest resolutions after OSRS' finale to the Vampyre storyline, Blood Moon Rises. I've thought since Song of the Elves that I'd actually be ok with post-Grandmaster quests. They don't need to be Master or above. Give us lore ๐Ÿ“š for Gwenith above Priff, for example.

No surprise Sony plans to ditch disks ๐Ÿ’ฟ, it was always their plan in order to finally clampdown on the 2nd hand market & complete their market monopoly. I expect little impact on the ps5 and see this as essentially a soft announcement of the ps6 for 2028. We still shouldn't accept this.

Somewhere there is an old (>10yrs) laptop ๐Ÿ’ป of mine. On that laptop were all my notes for a game I was planning (called Intervention!), as well as the pixel art & sprites I'd made myself... Still kinda bums me out when I think of it ๐Ÿ˜ž. If I could retrieve one thing from my past it'd likely be that.

I get why BlueSky ๐Ÿฆ‹ doesn't have an edit button but by Guthix I wish for the ability to go add alt text to posts I've already posted. I foolishly ignored this accessibility feature for far too long & I feel pretty bummed about it but have no wish to delete & repost everything ๐Ÿ˜ž. I'll do better.

I've seen only minor spoilers of the new OSRS quest, Blood Moon Rises ๐ŸŽ‘, the Vampyre finale & it seems that maybe, just maybe, Jagex included my desire for Drakans Castle ๐Ÿฐ to be reminiscent of the Resident Evil Mansion!? Am I the kingmaker now? Fund my Ali sequels A Pyramid Scheme & CryptCurrency!

Can't decide if I want the finale to the OSRS Myreque questline to be like the Resident Evil Mansion or more like the Minotaur ๐Ÿ‚ in the Labyrinth ๐Ÿค”. Maybe a bit of both? What are you hoping to see from the end of this Vampyre ๐Ÿฆ‡ Saga?
