A notorious MMO fisherman just finished a 4,300-hour grind that saw him spend over two years catching shrimp in Old School Runescape, and he says "I'd do it again." 12 years ago, Animal Crossing speedrun pioneer and AGDQ cameo commentator Carter 'Bosby' Larson was trading world records with a player named Forstride on the game's "All Debts" leaderboard. Bosby tells me he "started the account on May 11, 2024 and finished August 7, 2026, so 2 years and 3 months. In-game was 4,304 hours but I cannot stress enough that I was not actively paying anywhere close to full attention during those logged hours." In total, he caught 275,196 shrimp and 257,064 anchovies.
