  • OldSchool RuneScape restored my faith in the industry. RuneScape was ruined by microtransactions, but Jagex grew an enormous pair of balls and released an older version of the game and started fresh without any of the bullshit.

    To this day it’s my favorite RPG. I could write a truly ridiculous amount about why I love it, but I recommend just playing it for yourself.









  • There are so many fun glitches you can learn in that game. I highly recommend trying some, it’s a blast. Some easy ones:

    Power crouch stabs - Link’s crouch stab has no damage value, so it ends up using the value of your previous move (regardless of if it did damage to anything). The deku stick’s jump-slash does massive damage, so if you take one out and jump slash the air, you can then spam crouch stabs to do massive damage very quickly. It will one-shot almost any common enemy, and can defeat bosses in less cycles than should be possible. Ghoma can be defeated in 1 cycle by doing this.

    Infinite sword glitch - If you interrupt Link’s crouch stab, the game will fail to turn off the sword’s hurtbox and will do damage every frame while Link holds it. You can interrupt a crouch stab with pretty much anything Link can interact with, like reading signs, picking up a bomb, or talking to Navi. And you can apply the deku stick jump slash damage to this glitch for even more damage.

    Leaving the forest early - There’s several ways to do it, but the easiest way is to walk against the wall to the right of the Kokiri kid and get as close as possible while facing away from him. If you crouch stab the wall to push yourself into him and press A to talk to him during the brief moment you’re inside of him, Link can pass through… But he will still block you from the opposite side, so to get the rest of the way out you have to roll under the kid while he’s falling from the high end of the passage wall.









  • Einstein believed in “Spinoza’s god”, which is essentially just nature and the laws that govern the universe. It’s not the same as believing in an anthropomorphic God and putting faith in scripture.

    This is one of those reasons I always call myself an agnostic instead of atheist.

    Those aren’t mutually exclusive terms. “Agnostic” answers whether you know a god exists, and “atheist” answers whether you believe a god exists.

    I don’t know of any gods, and I don’t believe any exist, so I’m an agnostic atheist.
