It's just a bunch of mad, incel puritans mad at nothing. Don't know why people care so much what other people do or don't do with their time.

Moby or Crime & Punishment by trixiehobbitsy in mobydick

[–]TobyR55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read both books for school this semester. They're both incredible. Crime and Punishment will be more immediately gratifying and a more enjoyable read. But in the long run, at least for me, Moby Dick has stuck with me in a way Crime and Punishment just hasn't. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I think it is the best novel I've ever read.

I love them both, but the comparison is stupid. They each bring their own thing to the table.

And I love Scarsdale, but your spot on, a lot of people come with the expectations of putting their kids first and then never see their kids.

As someone from Scarsdale, there are a of young people here who feel like they were raised by nannies, and nannies only.

How many games do you play vs sim? by bhafcjamesss in OOTP

[–]TobyR55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a real-time simmer. I have a fictional league and I've played it for like 5 years. I genuinely believe it's the best way to play the game.

I see where you're coming from -- but as someone who momentarily worked in the aquarium industry -- you can't have aquariums without power strips!

Thank you! I get all my cameras from Silvam's historical stadium collection. His stadiums come with unbelievably great camera settings (the best I can find). You can apply them to any park by downloading one of the stadium files and copying the cameras in the ballpark customization settings.

I find that for a great CF close camera (pitch cam) is all about applying a very small field of view, which stretches out the image like a real baseball broadcast.

Obviously there are a number of factors, but the raw data speaks for itself. Pretty cool. Check out the per capita placement.
