The well-known Vtuber Nerissa Ravencroft has been playing Old School RuneScape for several months now. Thanks to her community and double entendre, she has almost completely mastered one of the toughest grinds in the MMORPG.
Who is Nerissa Ravencroft? The Vtuber and musician is part of “hololive English.” This is a pure girl Vtuber group that belongs to the Japanese agency Hololive Production and aims to reach an English-speaking audience on YouTube, Twitch, and X (formerly Twitter).
Like other Vtubers, Nerissa Ravencroft also uses an animated 3D avatar to interact with her viewers. Her YouTube channel has 806,000 subscribers. She has been playing Old School RuneScape for a few months now. In one of her recent streams from the MMORPG, she was able to reach a special milestone with the help of her community.
Old School RuneScape has been around since 2013, and you can also experience the classic on Steam:
What has the Vtuber accomplished? Leveling the Prayer skill was on the agenda. This involves one of the most exhausting and hardest grinds in the MMORPG. The most efficient way is to collect dragon bones for the skill upgrades and sacrifice them at certain altars to gain the maximum experience.
Obviously, it helps if you have built a sizable fan base on YouTube or Twitch, including many RuneScape players. During her stream (via YouTube) and afterward, Nerissa was literally buried under donations of dragon bones (including many of the highest quality bones).
Additionally, she received tips for optimal leveling and assistance with lighting the altars. Thus, the Prayer skill increased almost by itself and currently stands at 96 out of 99 possible levels (via gamesradar.com). She has already learned all the prayers that provide important buffs.
“The Internet is for porn”
Risque puns around the topic of bones: The internet wouldn’t be the internet if there weren’t any double entendres surrounding the English “Bones” and the term “Boning” (which actually means “filleting,” or removing bones) during the stream.
A long time ago, some WoW fans created a video about the one true reason for the existence of the internet:
The risqué phrases cannot be translated literally into German, which sometimes overloads translation AI. We definitely want to share a translation attempt with you.
Here is the original quote from Nerissa: “I was gonna go straight to boning, but everybody told me not to do that because apparently there’s a Christmas event. So instead of boning we’re going to do that.” An hour later, she announced: “It’s boning time. Now I just await the bone donations.”
The translation from deepl.com is as follows:
“I was actually going to go straight to boning, but everyone told me I shouldn’t do that because apparently there’s a Christmas event. So we will do that instead of boning.” It continues with: “It’s time for boning. Now I’m just waiting for the bone donations.”
This is a good example of why you should always fact-check AI texts before using them for anything. If you haven’t dealt with Vtubers yet, you are not alone: Bernie Sanders is being taught live on Twitch what VTubers are.
