It seems widely accepted that OSRS has the best wiki, are there any wiki's that come anywhere close to the level of it?

(OSRS = Old School Runescape)

I plan on getting some new glasses and will need an eye exam as it's been over a 10 years since my last one. I've only got about a $250 total budget for the exam and glasses and plan on heading over to the north side for one next weekend if possible.

Questions:

1. Where's a good place for a cheap eye exam? I heard they can range from $80-130 in Fredericton? Hoping to find one for a good price where I can get my prescription.

2. What are the best places for getting the glasses with a good cost-to-quality ratio, afraid of overly cheap or fragile frames/lenses but also gotta watch my budget.

I plan on making some chicken rice in the rice cooker, and i'm wondering if anyone has experience using "Better than Bouillon" in higher concentrations with rice, especially if made in the rice cooker? Wondering how much per rice or water weight you guys would recommend, I assume a more concentrated broth (more than 1tsp per cup of water) is the way to go?

I've been stuck on an old constantly overheating "gaming" laptop since 2017 but then it broke 4 months ago which left me without a gaming pc and now I finally built myself a new computer (ryzen 9600x/16gb ddr5/rx7700xt) this week and i'm trying to find some new games to play.

Hoping people could give me some suggestions based on what I have listed below, ideally ones that are free or pretty cheap. I'm not a fan of moba's, most tab targeting mmorpg's, and cod/bf/cs type shooters with near instant kills.

Current Games:
• World of Tanks (main game before laptop broke)
• Old School Runescape (nobody ever quits, waiting for content)
• Runescape: Dragonwilds (playing with friend)
• Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel (waiting for tellarknights in upcoming pack)
• Path of Exile 2 (waiting for new league, old laptop throttled hard in first league of poe2)
• Final Fantasy 14 (playing with my bro)
• Anno 1800 (waiting for anno 117 sale but i'm occasionally playing this)

Old Games (played a lot in the past but stopped naturally):
• Armored Core 6
• Starcraft Broodwar
• Path of Exile 1
• Hearthstone
• Darkfall Online / Rise of Agon
• Diablo 2

Old Games (loved them for a time but then lost all interest in playing for reasons):
• Marvel Rivals (2025, s0/s1)
• Overwatch 1 (2020-2022)
• New World (first year)
• Ace Online (game was dead when i found it in mid 2010's, no alternatives)
• Knight Online (pre-2010)
• Smite 1 (played it a few months in mid-late 2010's)

Disliked Games:
• Deadlock
• Counter Strike
• Battlefield 4
• Star Citizen
• Runescape 3

Installed windows on my new pc only to reinstall it it a few days later for reasons, no clue where it came from but it showed up in all/multiple games.

I'm going to be purchasing the internals (9600x/b650/16gb-ddr5/gpu) of my new "budget" gaming pc build next week and i'm curious how important it actually is to have more than 8gb of VRAM in a graphic card?

I'm looking at the RTX 5060 8GB ($560cad after tax) and the Arc B580 12GB ($425cad after tax) and I see a lot of complaining about new cards only having 8gb in 2025-2026. I have concerns about the 8gb vram of the rtx, but also concerns about the arc's future driver support and using it unity.

I'll grab an RTX if it's on sale but without any sales/stock then the Arc B580 looks promising with its price tag even though i have some concerns for it.

I grew up as someone who didn't explore much beyond your cheap king cole tea bags, and now lately i've been interested in trying different flavors of tea and haven't tried too many yet.

.

Are there any shops that sell quality individual tea sachets or loose leaf tea by weight? Somewhere I can go with like $20 and get at least 20 different flavors of tea to bring home.

So many cheap sketchy wands online that it's hard to find a good one, i'm considering just buying a cheap actual fishing rod and using string.

Looking on amazon canada.

I wish fishing at Killarney Lake a few hours ago and had a big 30-50ft tall dust devil form right next to me on the trail by the little bridge that lasted like 30 seconds. Wondering if anyone else has experienced one of them today in the Fredericton area.

I'm thinking soaking in a bucket of water and dish soap and then rinse before applying chain lubricant, not sure if thats a wise idea.

I've read the manga a couple years ago and i've always been following the anime. I am considering starting the light novel at around where the anime/manga have progressed and im wondering how faithful the story has been to know if there's any important information added/removed.
