Weaponised autism is a +5 invisible boost in all Skilling

[@Chirpeh13]

Glad you're taking the wrist injury seriously. I had a similar issue a while back, and the pain was unbearable at times, to the point where I could barely even move my hand. It took about a year to fully resolve, wearing a wrist brace whenever I was on the computer or sleeping, and doing some light stretching exercises each day. It's definitely worth taking the time to let it heal and get back to full function.

[@AutumnElegy]

A couple things I forgot: - I was on the FtP clan podcast recently: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWm2oH58hKmGnJo - When I said "therapist" I meant "psychologist" - Forgot to touch on 2h axes, but we don't really know anything concrete about them, including whether or not they're f2p. Hopefully not.

[@Sfriedli]

we are officially autism elegy, lfgooooooooooo. you should make more rambles.

[@YaksAttack]

Crazy to think youre still around after all these years man

[@lancemc1977]

Nothing wrong with a positive diagnoses like that bro, your voice is soothing and I appreciate you telling us.😊

[@Azletrack]

Thanks for your videos man, always nice to get an update and listen to it while scaping

[@subressor1]

To try answer your question of why this update came out in the first place, I think their main motivation was to try and make woodcutting a more social activity

[@thespittykid]

Really enjoy these rambles! I personally haven't really played much osrs in the last 2 odd years. It's just come to the point where I feel like osrs has really lost the 'old school' vibe and where I'm not looking forward to most updates. The changing of core untouched skills since like, rs2 release in the case of Forestry really demotivates me to play as well

[@AutumnElegy]

Yeah, osrs does not feel oldschool at all anymore. It's just the best version of rs we have and continually getting worse. Luckily f2p is shielded from a lot of the junk.

[@Applecitylightkiwi]

Agreed i quit when CA came out on osrs, now once a month i log in my uim f2p to fish

[@clancamper]

Forestry is the #1 example of why I don't trust the devs with a new skill, I'm scared of the damage that it can do to the rest of the game. Changing woodcutting fundamentally was so unnecessary

[@zerobyte-exe]

(Autumn Elegy uploads new video) me: monkey noises Love your content so much so I'm glad to see you're still around!

[@olx222]

Congrats on the diagnosis! Please feel free to make more ramble videos, I used to love them when they came more frequent back in the day and they still are. Your voice feels good on my autistic ears, it is indeed soothing like others have commented. I suggest wrist braces at work. It limits mouse mobility, but less so on typing. If your boss tries to put you down for being slightly slower just argue OSHA.

[@titandino]

I have gotten positive diagnosises from various psychiatry visits over the course of my life and I am definitely not autistic. Just saying. Autism is very over-diagnosed just like ADHD. Please never ever look at it as "reasons for things in your life" or anything like that. Nothing outside of severe, visible genetic autism is something to cause actual responsibility-excusing issues in life.

[@TheTardysoap]

Hey bro, just came back to rewatch after being a longtime fan. Hope life’s been going well for you. Autism doesn’t change anything, you’re actually a pretty good looking dude who talks really well and clearly takes care of himself. Godspeed.

[@clay2889]

I really enjoy the ramble videos

[@Sirhephaestus]

Love ramble type vids, definitely make more in the future. I don't really like forestry at all but they wanted to do to it so whatever. What I don't understand is the random changes that both no one asked for and also benefit nobody such as continuing the chopping animation after getting a full inventory. I used to use that as an indicator of when I was done now i can't. I know i'm giving jagex too much credit though. I don't believe for a second that was an intentional change they did; it was a side effect of all the code they were changing and they either didn't know how to fix it or didn't care. The one positive i think everyone can agree on is the increased social aspect however they didn't have to ruin a skill to achieve that.

[@andystephon871]

F2p million hour f2p ironman grind. It's not a great surprise but nothing to be ashamed of. All of us are unique in a few ways

[@TheYellowPixel]

Takes a lot to go ahead and get a diagnosis for that. Glad that got some weight off your shoulders and appreciate you for sharing it with us!

[@Timmeh_Timbo]

About a year ago I got my official diagnosis of autism 1. It really helped me realize why I act the way I do. Main thing is I don't feel as bad about my stimming and obsessions. I understand myself more now. Glad to see you still making content Autumn. You helped max my main back in 2020. TY for that!

[@MingaPlays]

ty for the ramble mate

[@kilianconn5091]

Those "without a diagnosis blah blah blah" people are the exact reason it's so difficult to get a diagnosis in the first place.

[@Rspsand07]

Wait, why is woodcutting 0 ehp when fming gives more exp than wcing? You'll be wcing past 200m fm, right? There's no fletching in f2p, so what else are you woodcutting for to make wcing 0 ehp?

[@AutumnElegy]

200m fm gives 150m wc exp with willows. 200m rc gives 60-70m from canoes. Obviously I'm not gonna get 200m rc so I'll finish wc through other means (and 200m fm with yews is 175m wc), but technically all of wc is 0-time if you train all skills efficiently.

[@owenj7535]

Love your videos. I have dealt with wrist issues in the past. Two things that "cured" me was bracing them while I sleep at night. The other is start doing 15 minutes of rice bucket exercises every day or two. It can help with gym wrist strain and RSI

[@AutumnElegy]

Interesting, I've never heard of those exercises before but it looks promising. I have a PT session scheduled soon so I'll see what they recommend and ask them about those exercises.

Honestly please do rambles more often. Dont really see eye to eye with you on your forestry opinions but still love listening you talk about the game.

[@Primitivum]

Great video. Which mouse did you end up getting?

[@AutumnElegy]

I got the evoluent verticalmouse D. I haven't used it much because my wrists are still bad so I just haven't been using the mouse very much in general.

[@icebtw2004]

loved the ramble, what plugin do you use for the idle notification? i liked how your whole screen changed,thanks.

[@AutumnElegy]

idle notifier. the notification itself is configured via the general runelite settings.

[@o0-a1]

Maybe I too should schedule an appointment to be diagnosed for 'tism

[@crystalcvt]

i've always wondered if it was worth the hassle to get an autism diagnosis. it'd be nice to know for sure but i'm worried i might potentially limit myself as a result and put myself in a box that i didn't before the diagnosis

[@Husbag3]

Would love to hear your thoughts on rs3 f2p irons? The gameplay is much better suited to wrist recovery imo!

[@HomegrownDoofus]

I've always enjoyed the ramble videos. Like you mention, I like to listen while gaming, but I also need to know what my opinion of every update should be 😎

[@ksfjcu]

for your hand pain, I can recommend the Kensington ball mouse (with the 4 buttons). It looks weird, and it's a bit to get used to, but it can be very accurate and most importantly it distributes the strain all over and most clicks are with your thumb. Also def consider taking 4-600mg of ibuprofen+acetaminophen to reduce the inflammation, it'll help your tendons heal faster

MORE RAMPLING!!!!!!! best videos

[@dvst_tv]

Glad to see youre taking care of your health, great inspo for the people who have looked up to you for years. On the note of p2p forestry, I love the update. Feels very 2004 with the random events and social skilling areas. My biggest annoyance is how busted the xp rates are because I really don't remember voting for something like maples or willows to be over 100k an hour without even event hoping. I think the +10 boost was a mistake. Still this is probably my favorite skilling update across both games even if it has a lot of issues. I've been using snow to 3t trees and the root event, events help break up the grind of 3t while still encouraging that efficiency. Sapling and bee events also allow for some optimizations with pathing and timing. 9/10 update, would be 10/10 if the devs didn't release it broken.

[@AutumnElegy]

Yeah I agree, the social aspect has been fun. The xp rates were definitely too high. Sapling nerf helped, but they're still pretty crazy. I'd recommend using knife log to 3t instead of snow since it's a lot easier. Snow is mainly just used in f2p because there's no other option.

[@BigBoogerOSRS]

Despite the oversight and world hop scouting events, I think this update was a good addition to the skill. I thought my time talking shit at prif yews and getting relatively decent xp/hr (like 90k) was good, and overall made Woodcutting feel better as a skill rather than a redwood afk skill. Again, despite the event scouting methods, the 1.5t teak methods at Fossil Islands still works right? Oh, it is a share the ancient 2t ape atoll tree method is no longer viable because you can spawn events, I hope they make those teaks not spawn events because it does seem rather sacred in the skilling community.

[@guitarrrsss]

Id love to see you open a second account for more and unique types of elegy updates!

i love the ramble vid ur voice is very soothing. hope u can get back to weightlifting and tick maip again soon

[@highalchemy]

Welcome to the club, you've been an honorary member for a long time!

[@o0QuAdSh0t0o]

Hey I have a genuine question as a CS major who also body-builds. How do you maintain wrist health? And are you able to do push-ups or just avoid them and stick to weights? I think a balance of calisthenics and weight lifting is optimal, but with the constant Computer use, I notice discomfort in my wrists, specifically with pushups, whereas free weights don’t bother at all.

[@MrGreenfingers09]

What level would you say its good to go to w301 yews now?

[@Menace_oce]

Hey mate, just curious how you changed your name to terrathrone without losing f2p status? I too want to change my name on my f2p acc but didnt think itd possible, could you share how you did it? Cheers

A diagnosis is grear because now you can navigate you issues with a better understanding and without doubt. Hope you find life in general more fulfilling

[@AnimosityMob]

Don't be ashamed of having the 'tism. I got it also. However its kinda obvious with you, no hate. you got 1b total agility xp. one of the symptoms of having it is obsessing over doing the same thing repetitively. But its a superpower tbh cause now you're doing power lifting and working out which is really great. keep going!

Idk how often you've experienced wrist injuries or strains etc, but just an incredibly basic soreness I had a few years ago lasted like 6 months until I had no sore sensation. (It was peak COVID so computer science student at home and playing rs at the same time which was kinda foolish.

[@asddsa8203]

A diagnosis alone is completely worthless. It does nothing. Just a scapegoat.

I had a tree depletion roll on that last two ticks of chopping with a full inv and I’m almost certain it just auto dropped the log 😂 Seems like really lazy design or just negligence.

[@yungslammy]

Hey man respectfully, I really want to know what it is that makes you so adamant about friction with quality of life updates that seep into f2p. Major nerfs to camdoozal and forestry caused alot of pushback from people who were pro these updates. Are they really harmful to the integrity of the game?

[@AutumnElegy]

Yes. max/200m all takes 1/3 to 1/4 the time it took when OSRS came out in 2013. Poorly balanced updates ruin the game. Most of them are much more than QOL even if they are labeled as such.

[@yungslammy]

@@AutumnElegy but is your argument truly representative for the entirety of the balance of the game or are you pitching grievances for the 200mxp f2p community.. it seems a little biased no?

[@AutumnElegy]

I argue points based on my opinion. Can't say whether it is representative of the larger community or not and I don't really care. I'm entitled to my opinion :)@@yungslammy

[@yungslammy]

@@AutumnElegy now i don't want you to think that i'm insulting you or anything, truly i am approaching this as amicably as possible. no one is attacking your right to your opinion but i genuinely believe that improving old content and updating it has brought more people into the game and doing methods that are different. examples being the updates to runecrafting and wcing. cam nerfs obliterated the content completely and just created bloat. i'm sure you have a lot of pride in these opinions considering the time you invest but balancing the content for the top 0.01 percent of the game is never good. just tossing around ideas with you considering we have vastly different POVs on this.

[@AutumnElegy]

Jagex has succeeded at growing the player base, but I don't really care about that either. I'd rather play a more true oldschool version of RS with 10k players than what we have now. Jagex doesn't always have to cater to the HLC, but they could at least make some effort to listen to their most dedicated players once in a while. Most HLC players would rather have nothing than a bunch of bad content. It pollutes the game and brings it further and further away from what it was supposed to be. OSRS has almost no semblance of a retro MMO anymore. @@yungslammy

[@Darby187]
