Via Daily Illuminator: What are the lessons of MMORPGs today?
You never, ever, ever change jobs. If you want to, you probably need to die.
Many, if not all, wild creatures are highly aggressive and will attack on sight.
Killing is the only real way to gain people’s admiration.
Well, you can make stuff too, but you won’t earn the same kind of admiration.
In fact, there are only two kinds of admiration in the world, and they can be quantified.
There is always a demand for couriers and assassins.
There are gods, and they are capricious, and have way way more than ten commandments. Nobody knows how many because everyone clicked past them.
Exercise since last update: 20 km (12 miles), which would be more impressive if it wasn't spread over nearly 3 weeks. Have been annoyingly sore in my exercising bits lately for no very good reason. (Also, somewhat apathetic this last week due to a couple of annoyances at work. Total 138km/83mi puts me somewhere in the Old Forest; another 12 miles to go before Old Man Willow.
