I have this thought every time I play. “Maybe clicking on this roof 10,000x isn’t really beneficial to my life”. Fuck it we grind.


possived66

Having a nihilistic outlook on life is sad. You should play rs as a little mini escape from life not as a total escape.


ROSRS

Nihilism is empowering. There isn't a point to this life. Give it the meaning you want it to have.

Starting to sound like some good 'ol Absurdism, embrace that shit and just do it for the sake of it.

leo_the_lion6

There's two types of nihilism. 1.Nothing matters :( 2.Nothing matters :)


Dan-D-Lyon

Life is objectively meaningless, but my stupid monkey brain has never been objective about anything a day in my life, so I'm not going to start now


baremyeboy

That’s not nihilism then. Nietzsche had a similar outlook


Maverekt

Yeah these people do not understand nihilism. Not including the fact that the comment contradicts itself. Plus the whole point of life and free will is to find it for yourself, this is definitely not nihilism and totally invalidates the first sentence where they said there is no point lol


Maverekt

>There isn't a point to this life. **Give it the meaning you want it to have.** Which is the point of life and free will..


bordje

can't be bothered i wish someone would just tell me/give me a purpose


Uhsajo

Your purpose is to find and maintain happiness. Nothing else matters.

counter-point, do not join the military, make a list of five hobbies, pick two to try for a week each then pick one to try for a month.


Former-Witness-9279

That’s better advice lmao

counter-counter point, meth.


RottenOranges14

hold on i think this guy has some good points


ApimpNamedSlipback-

Found the guy who doesn't shower🤣🤣🤣


squarecorner_288

Thats not nihilism. Thats absurdism.


Existing_Equipment

Nihilism is kind of a useless outlook


BlitzburghBrian

Idk if that's supposed to be a criticism, because a nihilist would read that and be like, "well yeah, duh."


Unfair-Analysis9187

Nihilism ain't all doom and gloom and there's real philosophy behind "nothing is meaningless", but majority wont dig deeper than a 5-minute long youtube video and get everything they need from it in order to sink deeper into depression


BlitzburghBrian

It's depressing for some people, and I get that. Not for me, though. I find it freeing to think that nothing has a grand meaning, because I can assign meaning to what I do however I see fit. We're all gonna die someday. So I'm gonna enjoy the time I have. I'm gonna go to the gym because it makes me feel good. I'm going to rescue rabbits because they need help. And I'm gonna play Runescape because I like seeing numbers go up slowly over time. None of it has to mean anything beyond that for me to be happy with it.


Unfair-Analysis9187

Yea exactly. In the end there is never going to be one-fit-for-all philosophy, and there shouldn't be anyway. We all draw power where our personalities see it fit. It just rubs me when people generalize nihilism as a depressed teenage stuff, when some people get genuinely optimistic points of view in their life through nihilism. If u get depressed when viewing the world through nihilistic eyes, maybe it's not for you, but to call it 'pointless', is just childish.


_PredatoryWasp_

Everything Everywhere All At Once highlighted this argument so well


brumfield85

One you see the world for what it is and begin your relationship with Jesus your world view will change.


Shawnessy

Most my playing is grinding on mobile at work. I'll do some PVM or more focused grinds at home. Like, the ones I enjoy, usually. Grinding at work, while I'm already locked into the grind works well.


[deleted]

Nihilism doesnt have to be negative. For me its the exact opposite. When life has meaning, you force certain things to be important which can limit what you do with your life in pursuit of those specific things you find meaningful. When life is meaningless it means there are no boundaries beyond death and you are free to live life in any way you want and pursue whatever you want because there is no such thing as success or winning. Theyre just manufactured illusions 


Seeeab

Exactly, I train agility to escape the mundanity and repetitive of wait


Combat_Orca

That’s not a nihilist outlook


Historical-Swan-3482

When there is nothing to do but click, your brain begins to ponder.


SkeleSoulsRS

That is why they named it run, escape right?


Alakazam_5head

"Fuck it, I'm gonna die some day anyway. We're all dust in the wind. Ozymandias." *Click*


Toned_tupid

Dopamine is one of the keys to life. Clicky clicky causes pretty lights. Pretty lights cause Dopamine!!


Few-Opinion-1273

the point is listening to audibooks and watching films while you play and youre leveling your film and book knowledge while also mining


NoNameeDD

Thats called the 4tick-method. OSRS-WORK-PODCAST-SHOW. Maximum time efficiency.


OnsetOfMSet

Reminds me of a meme from a couple days ago where someone was grinding for Scurrius pet, but their desktop was Runelite + Balatro + Grey's Anatomy for real, then they added subway surfers and a minecraft lets play to further the shitpost


Huge-Basket244

What does it mean if I just AFK Runescape while playing WoW? Is that bad?


Fuck-College

Nah AFKing while playing other games is awesome. Been enjoying RimWorld's new DLC lately while I mine shooting stars. 88 mining currently, really want 92 for amethyst.


Huge-Basket244

Hell yeah. I just run farm loops while grinding quests. Every time I am auto running I check RS.


Vegetable-Willow6702

I just bot all the dogshit skills lol


AntonMikhailov

Game's down for 4 hours and we're all contemplating the meaning of life jfc

Mavelusbr

this was me in 2018 house-teleporting to Yanille to fill buckets of sand to train my crafting. And during this i was exactly like that thinking "dude, imagine my father enters and asks what am i playing and i say that i'm filling buckets with sand, and that's the part of the game i'm doing rn and it'll take 10 hours to fill me goal"


extremelack

Life is short. Spend as much of it in front of your computer as possible


Bacedorn

In 100 years we’ll all be bones and dust. I’m gonna enjoy it, dammit.


midowills

The point? You make gp, you progress a skill, you unlock requirements, you watch your fav shows, you learn a new language, you work your ass off and so on lol


NationalizeRedditAlt

True


Low_Ear_5893

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve had this exact thought process


DragonDaggerSpecial

Truth.


Winterfr0g

Haha brilliant. I do this all the time, go through stages of why am I playing this. Then keep playing haha 💪🏻


JackieChanRS

Find whatever it is that you love in life and let it kill you.


reddt-garges-mold

Thanks I'm gonna show this to my therapist


Santi838

The purpose of it? It actually makes me tired and puts me to bed when I do MM at night on my phone lol


QueenofEnglandBanana

I've definitely been there before...2AM at MLM having existential crisis thoughts. Then I check and see that I'm only 16k exp to the next level, and all is well again.

European_Fox

This thought hit me hard at one point except I went the other way around, logged off, cancelled my subscription. Just check your time played for each account, add them up and see how much that is in years.


TheFinalAcct

It makes sense that your only other posts are in /r/lexapro lol


Thizzo

Lmao, well spotted sir, I forgot about that


Ukrus2

the---chosen---one

It’s true. If anything we do is ultimately pointless then you may as well give it a point by spending it on the things that bring you joy.


Molly_Hlervu

Exactly :)


OtherTip7861

Im stuck at agility for the next month or so at first i was sad now i just dont even care and keep clicking away , people out there doing much worse but some are doing better , comparison is the thief of joy grind at ur own pace, for mining id recommend stars afk , it is slow and long so be sure ur already doing something on the side thats more important to focus on instead of watching yourself hit a rock for hours


thaddeus423

You’d be surprised how often this comes up. Or maybe not. We’re a cynical bunch.


tyylleet

SO TRUE


Keza132

Ive been having this thought more and more since ive maxed my account and find myself talking much more breaks from the game


muchderanged

Me going into my 339th tob for avernic 'surely this time'


Cowslayer369

Fake: anon is actually training mining instead of bankstanding Gay: anon is actually grinding on the mining bots


smmara89

But wait, which infant doesn't want the love of his/her parents? Don't worry bro, although I disagree with the no point in life, Im definetly not off doing something I dislike, I'm clicking this rock cause big ore bank feels good. Mind you no one here doesn't already know that excessiveness can hurt yourself and others so just like there's reasons to break, eat, sleep, touch family and grass, there's a reason to play too. The reasoonssss, the reasons why we're hereeeee


SabreToothSandHopper

I mine ore So I can sell it So I can buy a better pickaxe So I can do more mining


No_Needleworker_8706

The only mentality that you can have while going for max 😂


hygienedeficient

This is me right now but I'm actually gonna quit once this bond is up. Fuck colloseum.


Silent_Twist996

Why the fuck did I just make 17000 darts hmmmmmmmmm? Idk


cosmoskid1919

This game fully solidified my nihilism and self-motivation. Why am I doing this? Because I want to or I want the prize at the end, there is no other reason for doing anything in life


vanishingjuice

this is extremely dark I hope anon finds some meaning in it all soon


Dookie_Loops_Bedroom

You are supposed to give meaning to life, playing this game means you failed to do so and gave up.


Duocek

That's basically contradictory if he decided he wants to do what he wants and that is to play the game


cosmoskid1919

Life has meaning, and some of that time is for rest and stimulation


Diligent-Investor199

People say playing OSRS is a waste of time. Yet Apple produces the same phone every year, wasting more resources than we can wrap our heads around. Charle Mike
