@Pyrephox who in their right mind would want torrential flooding rains when they could live in a place where the very ground trembles beneath them and has the potential for splitting open to reveal the depths of hell beneath?! Clearly west coast is best coast, but at least we can both agree that we aren’t in… ewwwww, central US with their silly tornados and potatoes

Look, I’m in South Carolina. For the last few years, we’ve gotten hurricanes AND earthquakes. We’ve got it all.
But yes, still better than the Centrals.

@Pyrephox and @Snackness you guys only think you’re superior because you have water. Psssh who needs that to live?!

Venus flytraps originated in the Carolina swamps
Imagine what it had to be like there to evolve into something so deprived of useful nutrients that you were like “fuck it, I eat mosquitoes now”

@KarmaBum That’s how I evolved.

At least you know you’ll never run out of mosquitos here. The only food source that would be more consistently plentiful is roaches.

@KarmaBum You couldn’t have if you actually made it to an ocean.

I live near an active volcano, which in terms of natural disasters is still the coolest way to die. How many of you spent hours on hours reading about Pompeii? West coast clearly best coast.
I’m pretty glad to see I’m not alone in my reasons for not liking asynch, though.

Meanwhile, I just live where we have to routinely grease all of the streetlamps to stop everyone from climbing up them.

All you people are wrong. Live in the foothills of Colorado. If you ignore the constant wildfires it is easily the safest.

You are the natural disaster.

What I thought was best is that the greasing didn’t work. That is freaking DEDICATION.

I’m frustrated sometimes by it feeling like it’s being implied I don’t do enough to facilitate the hobby for people in other timezones.
But then I try to remember it’s not really about me personally.
I think about this a lot as well. As I said before, when I started to do more, run more events, build more lore, and just generally being more available for players, I actually got pushback from various people that I was doing too much and that it was getting too busy.
It was then that I realized while I intended on creating a game that moved slower with the goal to eventually have something that sustained itself with it’s playerbase, that wasn’t likely to happen soon as plenty of people have stated that they like how things move at a snail’s pace. I admit, I was not expecting that, but I also don’t have a huge problem with. Then again, I want to also create something that caters to more folks, giving them a chance to enjoy things too.
It is a weird, difficult balance to try and maintain. Speaking for myself, I’ve only had middling success. If I could have things less async, I would, but perhaps not until later.

How fast or how slow a game runs isn’t an indicator of quality one way or another, on its own. I think my question(s) to you, as the gamerunner, is this:
Is this the game you want?
Are you having fun?
