Base-60 is cool, but so is dozenal!
Amputation is the solution to all problems. If it didn't solve the problem, you just didn't amputate enough!
Things that are simple are often not simple to use. Things that are simple to use are often complex. Although, hammers also exist so it's not exactly an universal rule...
Oh thanks! :D I'll need to check these once I get access to my headphones again. Listening with phone speakers is a big no no! Good thing I can save posts here.
I greet you, child of Gimli and Legolas.
I must say, 'green meat' doesn't sound particularly appetizing.
I started gw2 about 8 months ago and fell in love with it almost instantly. The art style is amazing, and makes almost any view look like a painting of sorts. But what really sold me the game was exploration.
I was mining my first ores in a cave in Caledon Forest and saw something weird in the corner. I climb up and find an opening, through which I enter a huge cavern filled with lava, golems, floating holographic platforms and all that. (first time seeing Asuran tech/buildings) I just stood in awe for a minute before doing the jumping puzzle. The area wasn't on map and it was glorious. The fact that the game manages to give me this feeling of discovery in every zone over and over again is astonishing (and somewhat addictive).
I do have to admit that the core game's story was underwhelming. But by the end of Living World Season 2 I was hooked already. Oh, and I couldn't play the game without action cam (activated in the settings).
I went from Mint to Ubuntu to Manjaro to Arch. I just couldn't get my games working on Manjaro without something breaking. It did look nice though.
I'm just having fun chatting with people.
Is there a way to see which track is playing at a given time in-game? Apart from Fear Not This Night, I can't really name any.
Not off-topic at all, we're comparing clocks after all. :) French revolution is always interesting to read about! More than just a political revolution, but revolution of ideas and measurements and whatnot also.
I definitely prefer dozenal clock over the decimal one, for the very reason you mentioned. Same with other measurements, being able to divide them by 3 neatly is very useful. Or would be. It's somewhat interesting that we have a word for a fourth of an hour (in Finnish too), but not for a third of an hour.
Although, I do have to admit decimal clock would have its advantages as long as we're still using decimal. 10min being 0.1h or 0.01 days would be quite nice for conversions. Should we one day switch to dozenal, we'd get best of both worlds! One can dream...
I was inspired by some new memes I saw to try and create some of my own. Maybe with enough practice they'll become funny!
