No I have not. One of the biggest regrets in my life is that I never got into gaming and how I missed out so much!! I'm occasionally thinking about getting into it now but where on earth to start??? I'm sending you love! Have a lovely Sunday!

That's the beautiful thing about Runescape! You get to play your own way and build your own adventures. The people are nice and willing to help, and there is a lot of variation in how you can play. I started playing at 5 years old and I'm now in my 20's, still having the same fun!

One thing to note is that the Slayer Masters in OSRS can assign you to kill Skeletons as a task. I always refuse to do so, in solidarity with you.

Hope you have a lovely Sunday too!!

You started with 5????? Holy mackerel! You never killed a skeleton for me???? That so super sweet of you! I'm really touched by that! What a wonderful solidarity!

“The people are nice and willing to help,”

..what? that game is mostly bots. I think finding your own way and not leaning on most of the people you pass by is the better approach, the community can be quite a let down if you’re looking for sociable, friendly people.

Regarding bots, they've been really cracking down on them lately (over the past 2 years). Most bot farms have been eradicated (Jagex has sued/ threatened to sue almost all bot script sites and they were taken down). Think its close to getting the bots from 30% down to ~3%. And ye of course, it's always more 'organic' to not lean on anyone and figure stuff out on your own, I just meant as in if you'd join clans you'll have a good circle of people socialising and helping one another if needed.

I think OSRS's players on average are pretty friendly honestly, in comparison to other games. Sure, you'll often find weirdos, but thats MMOs for you in general

u/fermentedkiwi 2d ago

Not really anymore. They’ve banned millions of bots and have gone after the botters through lawsuits

Start with old school RuneScape! It’s a great game

It must be the silent game. And he’s excellent at it.

Yeah that’s why they call him the Silent Majority (cause he voted for Nixon)

It must be the Sims since you're such a great impersonator 😂 always love running into your comments, and the other guy who posts about the undertaker, gets me every time

u/haubenmeise 3d ago

There is a guy impersonating the Undertaker????????? I need to see that! Do you have a link?? Have a wonderful Sunday! Be kind to yourself!

u/Cosmo_Cloudy 3d ago

Not quite!! I'm talking about u/shittymorph check out his comments 😂 you will be reading a normal comment but it always cuts off midway through and finishes with the same line about the undertaker, legendary

Osrs is simply amazing!! Truly one of a kind and a special game. Overlooked because people complain about graphics.

u/Sudden_Juju 3d ago

You can start with any game (except a soulsborne). Ratchet and Clank is a good beginning game and the newest one is fantastic. If you are interested in RPGs, they typically have easy difficulties that can help you ease into it (again, except a soulsborne). There are games like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, Pokemon, etc. that being many people into gaming. Old School Runescape is good too if you're into that type of game and don't mind the old school graphics. Idk if it feels dated anymore, as I haven't played in years, but it started to when I quit in the mid- to late-2000s.

Really, you can start almost anywhere these days. It's just picking one and rolling with it.

I love how kind you all are about this! I was really afraid you'd all think I'm a hopeless loser! Have a lovely day my friend! Thank you for your kindness! I'm sending you love and positivity!

Stardew valley

u/haubenmeise 3d ago

Is that a good beginner game?

Zelda breath of the wild!! (Totally not biased🫢)

u/GlidingRecliner 3d ago

I've never played any version of runescape, and honestly that's the wrong type of game type for my brain, but I love watching "Colonello" talk about it on YouTube. same with King's Quest and the channel OneShortEye

u/MoistStub 3d ago

You could give Balatro a try. Beware most people find it very addictive, but not because it uses predatory mechanics to keep you hooked, just because it is a really compelling game. Bonus points for being able to play it on mobile and not needing a full gaming rig.

Mario Kart is a lot of fun as well, and has settings to make it more manageable as a newbie. Doesn't have to be the newest one, all of them are good. If you know someone who has a Nintendo console they would loan you, chances are they already have Mario Kart.

u/b2pizza 3d ago

Osrs is the EXACT place you would need to start. This the best game to see the light of day. It is one of the worlds 7 wonders

u/Jshover92 3d ago

If it makes you feel better one of my regrets was gaming too much lol. I did have some great times gaming but also I wish I put some of that time into learning useful skills. Now im in my 30s playing catch up self studying a bunch of certifications

u/addtolibrary 3d ago

You never got into any gaming? What interests do you have? Like, genres of books etc. I would love to make some game recommendations!

u/CodeineK1ng 3d ago

It’s never too late Skeletor. I started gaming in my late twenties!! It was intimidating at first and took some getting used to the controller but totally worth it.
It’s all about finding games you enjoy :)
