Don't worry about it, 'twas but a RuneScape reference. How I miss the siren's call of the monotonous grind...
I used to love going out into the wilderness with nothing but a cheap sword and a fishing rod, and eking out an existence on the edge. Caught the wrong side of a blade more times than I can count, but I was free
Good work buddy! Keep going!
