Had I realized a few months of being on the drug would have years of withdrawal symptoms, I would have reconsidered ever starting taking them for sure. At least now the effects arent daily and Ive made great progress in my mental wellbeing without drugs and with the help of psychotherapy. I personally wouldn’t recommend anyone start using them unless you are in an acute danger of self harm.

Been playing off and on during RS1 and took a long hiatus starting in 2008. Got back when the mobile betas were released, and it's been a time suck in my life ever since.

Muffin Link ParentDoesn't look like the calculator really changes the royalties portion of the pie no matter which one of the three options you choose.Doesn't look like the calculator really changes the royalties portion of the pie no matter which one of the three options you choose.

About 30 thousand listened minutes translated to roughly 20 pounds (about 24 €) in royalties which was about 13% of what I would have paid on an individual plan.
Something to note is that the artists (or publishers) have to pay for the right to have their music be streamed on the platform. For example, my Distrokid subscription costs me about 80 euro / year, and I'm absolutely not getting tens of thousands of listened minutes on my stuff in that timeframe.

There is even a story mode for solo players to experience the last boss of the new raid and the associated story bits. Just today the season started and there is now a way for solo players to get near highest end (heroic raid) gear from delves, which can be completed solo or with up to a party of 5.
I am in a guild and we do go for heroic raids but outside of that I mostly play solo, and I’m having a blast so far!

Comment on Militarized Cybertruck cop cars are coming in ~transport
I'm an absolute Flume stan and I've been jamming out to the latest release by him and his new "kind of a band mate" (their words) Emma Louise. It's a gorgeous album in every way: Production is the most surgically beautiful Flume has ever put out. The lyrics tell a tale of a relationship going south, becoming to an end and the emotions in the aftermath. Emma Louise's beautiful and haunting delivery with wildly creative vocal production really takes me to a whole different place.
I highly recommend you listen to the whole album if you like this and give the music videos that they have released a looksie. The videos are a collaboration with Jonathan Zawada who frequently works together with Flume, and I think their styles always work so well together.
