> Part of what made it so enthralling to read was this grand act of human perversity that a single woman would endure This is part of why I enjoy watching a couple of RuneScape YouTubers. The sheer time commitments they put in for seemingly minor gains is like gore but for amputating off their own time effort & energy and throwing it into a bottomless maw.

Can you suggest a couple of channels? I've never played RuneScape but those videos sound right up my alley.

  Not op but one my favorites is: https://www.youtube.com/@Settledrs https://www.youtube.com/@Settledrs Very entertaining to watch and explains things so even non players can understand the sheer absurdity of some of the attempts.

  Start with Settled's swampletics. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWiMc19-qaA3u1ZawZQIKAh0BknPvoK8a&si=R9pVaBRa1XEWXfgj https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWiMc19-qaA3u1ZawZQIKAh0B... The other good one from the same channel is Tileman, where he is limited to only using tiles that have been "unlocked" His current feature is Lowlife, where if he takes a single point of damage his account gets deleted.

  Not Runescape but a similar grindfest - playing the largest Factorio mod, Space Exploration. 300 hours plus in ~5 hours of video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hRJ-CcwvrI&list=PLtyo3aqsNv_MWCN0PHLPctrNCvfrBuRl6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hRJ-CcwvrI&list=PLtyo3aqsNv...

    There are definitely factorio mod(pack)s which are more of a timesink: seablock and pyanodon's spring to mind.

Man runescape was my life for a long while. Its still the only MMO I know which actually has unique and rewarding quests, activities, and mini games. There's something like 150 quests, most with completely new NPCs, new map environments/interactions, item, skill and map unlocks. For example to gain access to the best sword in the game (at the time) you had to do a quest where you were travelled to a monkey island where you had to sneak around, be creative, defeat a bunch of apes and the boss. And it was actually fairly difficult, you had to prepare for the quest and dying meant losing almost all your items. Nothing like go here kill 20 foxes, come back. https://runescape.fandom.com/wiki/Monkey_Madness https://runescape.fandom.com/wiki/Monkey_Madness

I hit my limit at 83 mining in Runescape. The grind sure is relentless!
