I decided that I wanted to try my own spin on the iron man deal: it can only use whatever it can make (outside of items that cannot be created by a player, in that case it must be obtained as a drop or found in the world) and interact with NPCs only as they relate to quests.

"GIVE ME YOUR LONGEST MICROPHONE" - Probably J1mmy walking into a music store

[@I_EAF_19882]

Rode microphones makes nice mics, I've seen some other youtubers use them.

[@Mayberbtw]

Randomly found this video after i started playing runescape again and i'm glad i did. Thought it was a great video and think your a funny dude. You get a sub from me :D Also your right about never actually quitting. I played when i was in middle school and now i came back at 28 and i'm playing an ironman account and i'm loving it. Every level i gain feels rewarding because i have to earn everything myself and it's a really nice experience.

[@tehArgento]

I was 8 years old when I "quit" but at age 20 (probably because of mobile and the bond system) I play once in a while

[@skinnypete8928]

You can’t play “once in a while” on bonds

[@nageshwaranrahul]

Exactly same.

[@Merztastic]

Heya J1m, You've said a couple times now that you'd like to branch out more from only RuneScape content. I think this format of you, on a greenscreen, with a microphone is your breakaway style. I can't think of anyone else with that setup. For me, you holding the mic really sets it appart for some reason. I think after some time you can just stand there with your mic and talk about whatever you want with any topic floating around you in the background. Looking forward to whatever you produce!

[@WallyUK]

completely agree. Love this style

Not a fan of this style to be honest. Makes it feel more about them and not about the content.

[@WallyUK]

@@danielfarrow3252 that's the aim mate, you want to make the viewers watch your content for you, not the game

[@Die10003]

It's a style copied from General Sam, who made it big using this style for Escape From Tarkov. Makes sense since J1mmy did a Tarkov video that he got the idea from Sam.

I finally made my goal. I started back in Runescape Classic when it was hosted on the Jagex website with only 3 servers. After "Quiting" the game a few times I finally back in 2019 (its all a blur really) got all 99's. I was so happy I could move on that I held a 200m drop party and finally quit for the last time. Some months later something happened that made me worry for my future. I heard a new skill came out... Ya I will never escape this game.

[@Unit_With_Legs]

I believe in this context it is "break" to interupt continuity, altho brake does mean to stop some like a moving vehicle or a train for example, which stopping a train is probably easier.

[@sethnaffziger1402]

I got back into RuneScape when old school released on mobile, had quit at EOC and didn't hear about the new 2007 version till then. Since I started again this account is me living out all the dreams I had for an account as a disorganized adhd kid. it's easy to hop on and off, quests are fun now, and I'm all decked out and have a chill clan to play with. This game is something I always come back too, and few things are more relaxing than settling down for a few hours in RS on the weekend, just like when I was a kid. I will always have a place in my heart for RuneScape, and I've never grown tired of the good ol point and click game. I've played other games, I've left for long periods... but my account always has goals to shoot for, and my progress is always waiting for me to add to it. RuneScape has a unique charm and an engaging player base. in my opinion old school is still the gold standard for an MMO. it ain't flashy, but it's a story and adventure that never ends... and isn't that exactly an MMO should be?😊 also I totally agree with you on the "xp waste" crew. that is toxic AF for a game you play for fun, I'll figure out efficient methods to train on grinds, but who needs a plan for all that crap? it's an easy way to make a fun experience boring and horrible

This is a great video. I played for about 5-6 years from middle to highschool. Came back when OSRS came out, for about maybe 3 months. I haven't played now in a few years but I still check my main account from time to time... I also have passwords for like 5 other random accounts and who knows what happened to those.

[@alexandercastellini5741]

I've also wondered for a long time what the draw is that keeps you coming back. I'm currently a 27 year old adult man with 3 Children. A home purchase in progress and interests in various activities (biking, working out, snowboarding etc.) And I find myself watching youtube videos on a game that I haven't played in something like 8 or 9 years. My life was pretty fucking boring as a kid not much to do at all in my home and now as an adult I can see that I'm an extremely goal oriented person who enjoys the grind. I'm constantly striving to improve in so many different areas in my life. Whether it be as a Father as a partner. Financially, Physically. I have an almost obsession with self improvement and the development of "skills." Its my belief that runescape was an outlet for that drive in me. That drive and hunger for improvement while I was living in a world that didn't give me much opportunity to fully explore it. The question you asked here really is a legitimate question that needs asking. Among many others.

how do you make a rune scape account i keep having trouble on the month part

[@ErikaCartet]

my brother and i have both played runescape on and off for ages and giving ourselves restrictions really renewed our enjoyment of the game. i was the first to try out an iron man account - i was a bit intimidated by the idea of not being able to rely on the grand exchange, but i think it helped immensely because i had always lacked confidence in my ability to make money to buy things off the GE and would kind of rely on my brother to just give me gp to pay for things when we were younger lol. but playing with an iron man inherently meant i had to become self reliant, and i found it really easy and rewarding to get what i needed because i didn’t have to think in terms of making money to bulk buy things on the GE, i was just out there accumulating stuff while leveling a stat that i would then use in leveling other stats, and grabbing specific items for quests felt like a scavenger hunt which made quests seem more full (sometimes tedious, but definitely not as much as i expected) and could allow me to gain additional experience in different skills along the way. everything i did felt like a valuable contribution instead of it feeling meager or a waste compared to the kind of xp i could get if i just bought things off the GE on my non-iron man. my brother ended up trying it out and it made it enjoy what the game had to offer so much more because he was forced to engage with so many parts of the game and areas of the world he never would have otherwise, and the amount of variation in that new gameplay style kept things feeling fresh. it really helped us to have fun with the journey rather than burning ourselves out on the most efficient path to the destination.
