I'm still so fucking smug that I clocked him as a piece of shit in like 2010. Basically everyone I knew thought it was ridiculous I was a hater of Le Epic Reddit Science Car Guy but I felt so fucking vindicated when it became widely acknowledged that he sucks
That happened to me in a costume contest in school. I spent hours making my costume look great, everything made from scratch, and I lost to some guy wearing a werewolf mask
That might've been the last year I put that much effort into a costume lol
That was also part of it for me too, I already had the strong sense of justice and equality, my dad quoting Marx just pointed me towards theory earlier than I would've found it myself
Raising a leftist takes sacrifice, you have to pretend to be a lib with chud tendencies so when they rebel you can subtlety point them towards the immortal science of marxism-leninism
Or do what my dad did and ironically quote Marx to your child who takes you at face value and really internalizes "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need"
Seeing as they don't really face consequences for their actions you might be right, clearly I'm the one overreacting about the former mod who keeps getting away with making violent threats /s
That's what caused one of my friends to quit for over a year, dude went ridiculously dry on a boss, he greenlogged it twice except for the single item he was chasing.
For me it wasn't the drop rates (though I have been spooned some stuff so maybe that why) themselves but the sheer amount of time I can easily dump into the game, it was fine when I was unemployed & depressed but now that I have more going on osrs is far down the list of games to play. I'll watch others on YouTube do ridiculous grinds and live vicariously through them lol
If you want to throw yourself into a time sink chasing after rare drops just play Old School RuneScape. A 5% droprate is nothing (also only 4 in existence with a 5% drop rate? Clearly a tourist with 0 understanding how it works) and you can play mobile if you want
That being said I can't recommend it, I've spent way too much time and money on that game. It will always hold a special place in my heart because it's helped me through some rough times but I hope I'm never in a place where I need to fall back on that coping mechanism
