  • Enshrpuded is a great suggestion. You can ignore quests unless you want to expand your plot. Just pick a plot of land and start farming. Go out into the wild to find new stuff to plant. Unfortunately there’s not much to do with your harvest except to make provisions to go play the rest of the game, but that’s how you find more things to plant. I had a great time designing the layout of my crops.


  • A smart man always knows what to say, a wise man knows when not to say it.

    It’s the life equivalent of typing out a comment only to then delete it and move on.

    Just because you know something, or know a better way, doesn’t mean you have to tell everyone. That mental exercise plays into my other tool: Let them.

    Let them be wrong, let them fill the silence they created, let them get bent out of shape, and let them try to figure it out. Sometimes, they’ll get to where you already are; other times, they’ll figure out an approach you didn’t even consider, or you’ll realize that you were the one who was wrong the whole time. Let people be people. Listen, look, learn, and then, when you’re ready, when it’s needed, lead.

    Oh, and don’t give people answers to questions they didn’t ask. They’re less likely to listen to you. When they’re ready for the answer, they’ll ask.

    It was tough not to delete this comment, but I’ll let the paradox stand as is.













  • A lot Please, please, please, someone check my googled physics and AI math:

    E = mc² = 1 kg × (3×10⁸ m/s)² = 9×10¹⁶ joules (90,000,000,000,000,000 joules)

    or

    ~21.5 MEGAtons of TNT (by comparison, the Hiroshima bomb was ~15 KILOtons)

    It would have a temperature of ~1.2 × 10²³ K (1,200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Kelvin) The sun is a 5,772 Kelvin.

    Like a ‘small’ star, it would radiate energy of about ∼3.6×10³² Watts (3,600,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 W) The sun puts out about 3.8x10²⁶ Watts (380,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 W)

    Final burst duration: less than ∼8×10⁻¹⁷ seconds, or slightly faster than it takes for your mom to drop her panties.

    Now for the best part. All of that energy would emanate from a very, and I can’t express this enough, very tiny spot, like a billion times smaller than a proton:

    ~1.5×10⁻²⁷ meters

    A proton is about 10⁻¹⁵

    From seemingly nowhere, instant God-boom. I like to imagine that whatever was next to it would just disappear, and then the shockwave would happen.

    Again, I googled and used AI to run the code for the calculations, so…you know, correct me and downvote.





  • -Operation Wolf Dad would watch me play. He would bring other people to come in and watch how good I was. -Mario Golf Dad would play with us, he even kept a spreadsheet, on grid paper, to track his stats. -Ultima 3 First game on a PC. Mom got it to play with me and my little sister after Dad died. She couldn’t figure out how to get it to work. I ended up playing it alone years later, but only after learning enough MS-DOS to figure out how to even get it running. CD…

    Hug your parents. Play with your kids.
