I will be honest, I haven't played runescape for at least 8 years. I am now 20 (go figure) but i just had this sitting in my recommended. Although the game has changed so much seeing this video brought back all the nostalgia, this game used to be the only thing people talked about in school it was the equivalent of fortnite today. Seeing this and hearing your voice towards the end made me tear up a little after all the changes to see the same passion I felt for this game all those years ago, to see the flame still burning. It made me truly happy, even if just for a fleeting moment. Thank you Settled. I wish you all the best.

[@ABasketrs]

I found your account ages ago when I saw the dream series thumbnails (I think they had a purple thumbnail so they really stood out lol) but I really started watching your videos around the time that you died to wyverns while you were afk splashing. Unlike most UIM who would of quit that early into the game mode you didn't give up if anything you went even harder on the grind and came back even stronger in only a few months. It's crazy that you saw this account through even to a max cape. Anyways, I don't really know you personally but I feel we have been mutuals for quite awhile. congrats man what an achievement. Good luck on the goals to come and the progress on this beast of an account.

This is the kind of stuff that makes we want to max on my REGULAR account. You put so much dedication into such an account that not many people have done before. I've rewatched all of the UIM videos till now, and the progress you've made is insane. Here we all are, watching quite possibly our most favorite UIM in Old School Runescape max his stats. You've endured risks, obstacles, being told countless times how you'll never reach that point, many people cheering you on for those that really did believe in you, waking up every morning determined to finish. You finally finished, and you're still not "Settled" with your results. Grats man. This is going down in the books for sure.

Doesn't matter what you put your mind too, not matter how repetitive and possibly pointless. The sheer level of personal achievement for completing the task absolutely compares to creating meaning in life. Nothing is inherently meaningful; everything must be given meaning.
