    Have you heard of Cookie Clicker? It’s an idler game where you click a cookie to get points. You can spend those points on upgrades like automated clicking and more points per click. The goal is to get like a billion points or something but with the upgrades you’re eventually getting millions of points a second without even clicking. Now imagine saying “I want to hit a billion points without buying a single upgrade. I’m literally just going to click the cookie a billion times.” That’s what this guy did, but with Old School Runescape.

    There’s been a trend of extreme OSRS players trying to one up each other in dedicating years of their life to doing a repetitive task for 18 hours a day, every day.

    Not much to understand. A chunk is a small part of a map. People do challenges to do everything in a chunk then move to the next. This guy chose a part of a map that took hundreds of hours to complete and did it.

  I played that game like 20 years ago. They put players in zone based house arrest? Wtf is that? But then you can somehow grind your way out of it?

    It was a self-imposed challenge.

      I’m going on a self-imposed challenge to be a millionaire…

      Mission accomplished, how do I get my own article now?

  I guess everyone needs a hobby but this one sounds less rewarding to me than others.
