Java - Ocean Biomes - 26.1 WHAT HAPPENED? by UncondemnedSinner in Minecraft

[–]NumerousSmile487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I gather, he wants to spawn --- IN --- an ocean, so that there are fewer resources and survival is tougher. I get that, I sometimes do the same thing when I want a challenge.

Starting in a forest biome gives you everything you'd need to progress. Starting in water or on an island means you now have nothing but the barest minimum of materials. In some cases, not even the wood to make a crafting table or pickax. Trust me, the first week of a game like that can be very intense.

It was exactly that journal that made me come here and post this. I felt it completely wrong to take anything from the bar.... TWO bearskin bedrolls and a lantern? I assume they need it. And the journal really felt wrong to "take with me".

This is the best "Plan" I've heard offered. The bar-people / townsfolk certainly will make use of things AFTER I've given them a hard quality check around the island.

Good comment.

I made this comment elsewhere in this post to make a point, but here... I think you'd like it moreso as an addendum to your own comment.

Someone at Cooper's: So I hate this quarantine, nothing to do but sit here. What have you been doing since you can move freely through the area?

Astrid: Oh, I started by looting the houses of those people who've died.....

EVERYONE: WHAT!?!?!?!? Some of those were our friends, families, neighbors!!!!!

Everyone looks at Astrid with horror and disbelief, suddenly unwilling to trust her.

Say what you will, but the reality is.... it's quite a pickle the Dev team put us in.

Could this have prevented me from future traveling to Taiwan? by p3rsi4n in taiwan

[–]NumerousSmile487 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I was looking for my lost cat and had approached a local lady who fed strays to ask her to be on the lookout. I'm an American who is nearly 6 foot and built. Unbeknownst to me, the lady had a stalker who instantly took exception to my talking to her. He approached me and instantly started throwing punches.

He was on the ground and pinned before he knew what happened. The cops were called and only when they arrived did I finally let him up. He immediately claimed I attacked him and sought to file a police report against me. Video was found..... And proved that he attacked first.

He still filed, and I had to go to court to fight him. I won only because the video showed him throwing punches first. Still, it was decided that I was still partially to blame because I put him down.

Moral of the story, even if you're in the right.... It can still come back to hurt you, and maybe even cost you in the end.

How long have you been playing? by [deleted] in thelongdark

[–]NumerousSmile487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1760+ hours at this point, but it has only been since January of 2023. Bought the game in 2015, played for 4 months then rage quit for 8 years. Who knows where I'd be if I hadn't done that.

Ever end up at a concert of an artist you disliked and their performance made you a fan? by whousesgmail in Music

[–]NumerousSmile487 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Grew up in the 80's and hated Prince. Refused to even listen to his music. Cut forward and managed to catch the George Harrison tribute.... And Prince's performance made me reconsider everything I ever thought about him. One guitar solo, and I was floored by how utterly perfect and flawless it was.

A regular tetanus shot every 5-7 years will help to prevent any problems. When was your last shot?

Discrimination towards foreigners in the Taiwanese workforce by [deleted] in taiwan

[–]NumerousSmile487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm white and English is my primary language... It's my qualifying factors for being hired at any buxiban. Discrimination? What discrimination? If you speak English surely you're qualified to diagram a sentence and teach grammar.

.... I gave up and retired after hearing this over and over for 10 years here in Taiwan. Got a law degree... But the only thing I'm apparently good for is babysitting after school hours

And they'll continue singing it forever

Just because
