Merry greetings, wrap up warm :3

In spirit of the 2007scape threads, we're here on Lemmy, MK IV!

Post your achievements, goals, shenanigans, thoughts on new updates, and so on!

I’ll start, still healing up on the broken shin, finding a place to live, life is starting to look up! Slowly reaching 99 slayer (10 Hydras from 96!) after which I will resume my rightful place as being a ToB nut ;)

I was a massive plonker and chucked my scythe so started back from nil again, which is a feeling I'm quite acquainted with. A week in of mobile only (since my laptop broke!), and a lot of herb runs, hydra and abusing elves and I'm back at 50m+ now...

However, fear not, I have devised a dastardly plan to turn myself into a hydra bot; I snagged a Steam Deck! Does anyone have any cool tips/tricks for running Runelite on it?

I'm very familiar with Linux but was wondering how much I could push myself PvM wise with it (as much as I can on 20 def). Still it seems like having all the features of RuneLite whilst being able to play anywhere seems awesome, as well as being able to use it as a full blown pc with the dock. A very nice piece of kit indeed :)

As regarding updates, I've been out of the loop a bit, anything interesting? As a Pure I sometimes miss some of Main and Iron spectacles.

Cheers, Ew0

(TIP: If you're poor get 85 thieving and go pickpocket elves. You'll be rich. Also if you want a few free deaths for deaths coffer everyday, make some moonlight mead :)

Just a quick note on playing osrs with controller. That is how I received my first ban in runescape.

It was back during season 6 of game of thrones. I spent 20ish hours binge watching earlier seasons to catch up while alching at the ge. Suddenly disconnected and discovered I had a macroing major ban with no option to appeal. Went to the only point of contact to jagex staff to plea my case, the community forum, only to be told if I complain again they would perma me.

Sorry if this is a downer to read but just wanted to warn others. I hope jagex has improved since then. This mightve been before mobile was even released so maybe they have better not detection now.

Eitherway, as a fellow Steam Deck enjoyer I would highly recommend checking out emulation station if you are a fan of retro gaming. It's one of my most frequently used SD apps.

I hope you get to 99 quickly, I am averaging 5% of my goal to 97 mining every day, only 70% left!

That does sound like a bad experience for sure :s

Hopefully they've ironed out all the false positives, I've heard other people say the same before. I'll definitely make sure to map 1:1.

I've done things like that with my keyboard in the past and have no problems (I have left/right click keys on my mech keyboard - handy for thieving elves and stuff).

I will definitely check that out thanks! As far as new games go the only ones I really want to properly go through are Soulsbournes/Elden ring and the Witcher series. Apart from them and RS I don't really feel enthralled by newer games so emulation is definitely the way to go.

Thanks! Hang in there with mining too :-)
