Showing off is an important part of social MMOs. If anyone can have the really cool looking thing for some cash then what’s the point of grinding? For a hardcore player, what do they have to show off their prestige?
It’s pretty important for an MMO to respect its most active players. Not to mention, what do new players have to look up to? To think, what do I have to get that? If the answer is “oh I just have to fork out some dough”. That’s kinda disappointing

So I was teaching some kids snowboarding, one kid started talking to me about musk on the chairlift. He tells me that musk is the greatest engineer to ever live. I say that he’s really more of a business man buying up companies. Kid is not convinced. I tell him that the only engineering that musk may have done was software engineering on PayPal. Kid thinks that’s great support of his claim.
Adults and 11 year olds are pretty much the same, so I would say there’s lots of people that think musk is a super genius. Probably a dwindling amount, but there’s a lot of people on earth.

I mean I’ve seen more than a couple of shows at my local waterhole, and the price has been between free and $20. The $20 one was Moonhooch and absolutely worth it!

- Comment on How the fuck do you meet new people? 2 months ago:
I’ve had a lot of luck joining a run club, but there are other activity based clubs. The trick to these though is that you need to keep going to them for a while before you really start becoming friends with people.
What’s really worked for me was working as a snowboard instructor on the weekend. I’m not saying do that specifically, but finding a second job based around teaching is an amazing way to meet other people who like meeting new people and being nice and sharing their skills and experiences. I should specify, the people I meet are other instructors. I’ve also met some people at events, like when I got my avalanche rec 1 cert.
- Comment on Honey 2 months ago:
I think having thousands of insects collect that nectar is more efficient than trying to do it by hand. But I’d be curious to taste if the bees impart any additional flavor. I know honey made by giving bees primarily sugar water doesn’t taste like much, but there could be other stuff going on with the nectar inside the bee.

Some places/people are really good at making a good crust. Then you’re not eating boring bread, but really good bread. And who doesn’t love good bread.

It can be surprisingly difficult to get good crust in the US. But I can understand not always wanting to eat the crust in America because some pizzarias just don’t care enough to make a good dough.
- Comment on Hypothetical Game Ideas 5 months ago:
I’ve always wanted a battlefield like 40k experience. To be a little guardsman who gets krumped by the greener faction, or eaten by nids or spikies.
I’ve also been really enjoying games that are controlled with programming (the farmer was replaced has been a fixation recently). So I’d really like to make something like that. Like old school RuneScape, but the only way to play is to program a bot.

College towns usually mean that the town doesn’t have any identity outside of the college. In some ways that’s nice, because you have a big community right there. But in other ways the town won’t really do anything without the college.

I like to crisp up my burrito in a pan after I roll it. if you brown the side with the opening first then the juices trying to escape soften up the tortilla enough to get cooked together. It’s like welding a burrito shut.

- Comment on Very few people realise how environmentally devastating this game is. 1 year ago:
I am asking, how bad is it?
The environment has a capacity to handle some pollution. If the pollution caused by golf courses is negligible then why should I care about something that pales in comparison to that which is causing real and apparent harm.
I see a couple of acres of grass that makes people happy. I see thousands of acres that are clearly damaging the environment that i love. Why should I care about the little bit that gets people outside enjoying the outdoors? Why do you sling insults instead of changing my mind? I’m open to change my mind, just have a conversation with me.
Are you a conservationist or a preservationist? Do you believe humans should enjoy the land we protect, or should humans be kept away from the natural world to protect it?

Look, I get it it’s the Internet, but why all the insults?
I read the links and it seems to me that I was entirely correct. Runoff from farms is the primary source of nitrogen and other fertilizers in the waterways. I drive through Addison Vermont every day for work. You can smell the putrid rotting shit they spray on the fields. Vermont has rules around when you can spray shit, so that’s why it smells worse than New York farms. Because it ferments in a pit or tank for a while before use.
I also did a preliminary search and it seems that golf courses have been reducing the amount of fertilizer used over the past couple of decades.

So yes fertilizer is a problem. Farms need to figure out a way to reduce the runoff they produce. I probably just didn’t read hard enough but how much of a problem are golf courses? How do they compare to other polluters?

I don’t think you’ve seen how NEON GREEN the Adirondacks are. I get that they fertilize it. But really I don’t think the environmental impact is particularly great around me.
What environmental impacts are there that I’m not thinking of for my area? And how severe are they? The way I see it, this area is one that can afford to have golf courses.
- Comment on Very few people realise how environmentally devastating this game is. 1 year ago:
I live in upstate New York, just about every town has a golf course. I personally love the game, but I honestly don’t think their that bad for the environment up here. For many people it’s their third place.
Like we get plenty of rain, and most I’ve been to are nestled near the edge of the forests. The APA regulates the shit out of what you can do. And it’s really not much of a waste of land. If I want to go for a hike or trail run, I have dozens within biking distance and maybe even 100 within 30 minutes of driving.
It’s farms and their cow shit fertilizer releasing gass and it’s runoff polluting the watershed that’s doing the most damage around here. But like I say, the APA does a pretty good job most of the time.
