I see it as just another hobby. I might spend an hour writing about a Totzkan ethnic group, my dad might spend a day painting a model plane but the end product is similar in value.

Likewise. I'm eagerly awaiting the day I leave teaching and can return to a job that's 9-5 and gives me evenings and weekends back in my control.

Then I intend to socialise (a weird concept to even comprehend atm @_@) and work on decent content for NS.

The skin on one of my fingers got all torn up from an incident with an overly enthusiastic dog on a chain but it's currently scar tissue over the healing bit so now I it feels like I have a bandage on that makes it feel weird to bend that knuckle.

I know I need to leave it alone to heal but a small part of my brain is always egging me on to mess with it

You're welcome for the information

I feel my life is now that little more complete. Thanks.

I’m still embarrassed to talk about NS to people. But it’s good to see you around.

My sister thinks I delete my internet history to hide other dirty things, but really, I'm hiding my NS history.

I find it so awkward to talk about it as well.

Better then playing Fortnight or Warcraft, at least with NS there is the potential of gaining knowledge.

Anything for you, dad

Warcraft isn't comparable to Fortnite in terms of its worthlessness, at least Warcraft had interesting things going on both player-made and developed in.

In fairness there's plenty to learn from playing Fortnite. Nobody does because the game is played primarily by vaping teenagers who don't act on their actual responsibilities, but the opportunities are there

WoW teaches you about the horrendous grindy tedium of daily life, how to work together and coordinate a huge group of vastly different types of people, and the trap that is monthly subscriptions to things

I thought we, as a civilization, agreed to end that.

I know. Which is exactly why I did it

Doesn't Warcraft also have an insanely complicated economy?

Yes, where you can actually trade for stuff internally rather than stealing your parent's credit cards for the V-Bucks pack.

Well, hey then, Fortnite either teaches you diplomacy in negotiating your parents to pay for your skins, or it teaches you stealth skills in stealing the card, right?

Post Scriptum teaches you the value of being a good runner and of the need for the judicious application of smoke screens in a tactical environment.

GTA teaches you that with the right people, crime does indeed pay.

(In no way am I endorsing committing any crimes for any reason, you're not going to get away from them for long)

The way you spell color was reason enough to rebel.

Eh, as an American (you can tell because I say American like we are the only people that live here), I prefer the British spellings of alot of words like colour or flavour. I just feel more sophisticated for some reason, don't know why.

Back in the dark ages when I was going to college, had a Language Arts teacher, when we were writing our thesis paper, if you used a British source you had to use British spellings or he took points off.

The only British spelling I like more than the American is "grey" rather than "gray". For some reason the one with the 'e' in my mind is a more pleasing shade than with an 'a'.

One of my neighbours found it a good idea to work on his heating or build a church organ or whatever at 6 in the morning. You could tell he was trying to be quiet but the thing with pipes is that they betray you to everybody else in the building no matter how careful you are. Flogging without mutual consent is still illegal is it?

The newest episode of The Code has given me an idea for a new weapon system. I may try to make it and see if others are interested in some sort of co-development.
