Obsession, Shame, Fear and intense self indulgence all into one single game (Patreon)

I love runescape (more specifically og runescape which i played thru middle and high school), i love this clunky, rough, grindy, slooooow as hell game with every single fiber of my being, and ever since the mobile version went public a few days ago ive been back at it nostalgic about my highschool days playing it for like 2-4 hours a day before sleeping like a maniac, and now that you know i will totally understand if you wanna leave now cus BOY am i about to go into an insane tldr segment right now with such big found emotions rn that you wouldnt believe

I decided to go with a look that i think my Runesape character has constantly, just a thousand percent tired, but at the same time happy and allways looking forward to their ultimate goal that they themselves dont even know yet, which all started with the mass murder of cows (and also poaching item drops when health was low) to both level up in combat and also get some cowhides to level up crafting to be able to access a bank to have the safest fastest route for mining to THEN level up mining to THEN sell everything i smelt for some serious profit to THEN get some equipment to do quests to THEN reach the pinicle of free players which is killing a dragon and getting some sweet sweet access to the best chest armor that free players can get (tho as far as i know some endgame stuff has been added which im kinda pumped to eventually get to in 3 years)

This descent into madness for a second time has compelled me to draw this as a doodle after my work for the day, hope you like it!

Rant about fsnow's past ahead (read at your own risk ) <3

hello everybody, one of my biggest (and by that i mean the absolute biggest without a shadow of a doubt) gaming obsessions was runescape early on, to the point of going to school, think about runescape in school, comming back home to play runescape and then subsequently fail all my tests in school bcus i played too much runescape, almost flunking one grade at some point, 4 ish years later, 2 times scammed for all my items, 1 time hacked for my items, a fanfic that i turned into a book that got me past a whole year of literature class excent,  i started to fall off it little by little when i discovered different mmos that my new fancy pc could run, but man that little bug never left me and that void of literally being able to do anything you want and be prosperous in that game i never got over i think, i leveled up just to play the quests, but my dad was a miner and smelter by trade, thats all he did, mine, smelt, sell, and ended up *way* richer than me haha.

And believe it or not, runescape is the thing that got me into drawing more stuff fulltime, drawing the different armors, my character looking all badass and shit

But why do i bring this up? well because a couple of years ago old school runescape got announced for pc, i booted it up just as curiosity, i heard the shitty midi main theme and i legit started tearing up, full on goosebumps of nostalgia and happiness, i played it for like two-three weeks-ish, since i had to make a new character i was like eeeh, i did some starting quests got the basics to level up every single skill available for free players, and i kinda fell off it again cus i at the time had an office job and a lot of games i wanted to play.

Fast forward to a few days ago when i opened twitter to the fateful "old school runescape mobile now available for everyone" and im right back IN BABY

 i hope you like it nonetheless and hope you are haivng a great day <3 and if you read up to here thank you, since now that i see the blocks of words above im second guessing posting this in the first place since it feels kinda out of place and out of nowhere haha its just, today was a "remembering the past" kind of day i guess
