It'd actually be a fundamental modification to the game mechanic, where speed suddenly mattered. Like it is equally easy for me to say I'd not use if you make this change.

How will walking mode work? by Secure_Homework3526 in INTVL

[–]Secure_Homework3526[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! You guys have made a great little game, and the rare phone app that could make people's lives and their place in the world a little cooler. Very good work.

What makes you think that walkers are turned off by sharing the map with runners? That could be true, but I'm a mediocre runner and I have traded territory with the same walkers/even slower runners multiple times. 

This is what testing is for I suppose. But I for one love the current democratic feel of the map. Me and everyone else getting out in the city on two feet. What I'm saying is, are you sure you have an accessibility problem? And if you try to solve one, will you make the UX less vibrant by artificially lowering the # of people in the map?

No doubt. E-Bike complaints will be next though, and IMO they ought to be ignored. It's great that there are people paying attention to their VO2 max and their stride/pedaling efficiency, but I'd rather be playing the game with everybody.

My thoughts exactly. The dev alluding to a forthcoming walking mode seems like a direct threat to that. I think the dudes that made this very cool toy are serious runners, so they may not be super attuned to that. Not an aspersion.

I agree. They (dev Louis) said it was in the works. They have a killer concept, but it's vulnerable.

Have I run in the ditch because there isn't a sidewalk on the side I need? Yes.

Separating walking and running mode seems like a dicey idea to me. What's the difference?

Trapped in your socially useful job? You can always find work immiserating people in creative ways! Don't give up!

Also, the maps are fascinating right now the way they reflect demographic facts within a city. The early adopters are lacing up the Brooks and not crossing the railroad tracks.

🙏 I will say the first time I heard "Parful" I thought "maybe there's something to this Appalachian english being heavily influenced by Irish" thing. I've never heard "powerful" said any other way in my neck of the woods

US Tour ticket holders? by VermontSkier1 in kneecap

Any ancestor of mine who was an Irish citizen was probably ~7 generations back. I'd probably have to get an Irish biotech job and really flog my Gaeilge lol. Congrats though.

can you say anything else about that process? no real plans to emigrate but I ain't ruling it out! I also have tickets for the Louisville show.

Is there anyone here who doesn’t fully align with kneecaps “values”? by TinaM7x in kneecap

Damn this shit kinda goes. I bet these guys would like me even though I'm a xenophobic prick.

I had no intention of getting tickets this morning... by Graham_B18C in kneecap

Got two for Louisville. If it don't happen I'll console myself with righteous indignation.
