    Sepulchre is so good, it’s basically my happy place in OSRS and actually makes Agility a top tier skill in my opinion. I ended up getting 94 agility very early on my ironman just from how much I enjoyed it which set me up very nicely for so many things.

    Wish we had more agility courses like sepulchre and maybe everyone would stop complaining about doing rooftops.

    Everyone’s commenting about how it’s obviously the wage increase that made the prices go up but also it’s March 29th to 1st April, which is usually when prices go up anyway because the next financial year is about to start.

    There was definitely a lot of support for this merger - people see it as ABK’s “redemption arc”, and there was a lot of excitement around ABK games coming to GamePass / other platforms like Steam because of this.

    Ultimately this is how people think: What is in the merger for them? And they don’t think macro, but just simple things like “now I can finally get this game on [platform]”

    It is not legally required for places to close for any of these holidays, and a large amount simply do not (whether it’s the majority or not I cannot say). I have worked in many places where I don’t get these days off.

    On these holidays… most people go out and go places which need people working, so businesses choosing to close on these holidays is their own decision, which they should do in my opinion, it’s nice to know that you and everyone you know is off. I don’t really care why we’re having the holiday.

    Right, the point of the 4 day work week is that it will become the new standard for full time work, rather than the current 5 days.

    So all your points are kind of moot, as they will ideally be addressed through cultural changes, employee expectations, or regulation.

    I have worked in service/retail, and this argument doesn’t make a lot of sense. Most service/retail is actually 7-day weeks, but the workers average out to 5-day weeks with rotating shifts etc.

    All that would have to happen is the workers now average out to 4-day weeks, with a similar level of pay (which is what the 4-day week advocates are asking for).

    The 4-day week isn’t about office workers, it’s about everyone.
