Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

    Climbing is one of those activities that I just do not see the draw in doing.

    See also: Most sports.

    See also: Most forms of competition.

    Climbing is fun because you are fucking hanging there meters above the ground, jumping to the next hold trying to grab it, failing, being caught by the climbing partner and adrenaline just making everything so damn awesome

    Roger Ebert agrees with me, because he cowrote some porn.

    I miss hiking far far too much. I used to do it all the time when I lived near things called hills and mountains.

    Flatlands are so boring.

  • DE?ADDE?AD Registered User regular
    You know what I really don't get?

    [tiny][laid][/tiny] Baseball.

    Even playing baseball is boring, let alone watching it.

    Hills aplenty where I live. People asphalt ski down and up them. I am scared to shit of that, because imagine the amazing pain that would take place when you crashed on asphalt going some 40 km per hour wearing nothing but skin tight shorts and a t-shirt.

    Fuck off and die.

    It's relaxing?

    It's a challenge?

    Gives you a place of zen.

    Seriously it's made me pretty chill.

    Gives you a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

    I've been trying to figure out who the fuck here in California actually likes baseball because I haven't met anyone who has since I moved here. It's bizarre.

    Baseball is my favorite sport, but at this point I just don't have the energy anymore to defend it against the non-believers. Case in point: I posted a message on my facebook feed earlier today about the perfect game that was thrown, and someone said, "yeah, a perfectly boring game!". The only response I could think of to that was, "man, you can do better than that".

    See, I can understand that, I guess, I just don't quite understand getting it from climbing.

    Entirely on my side, likely - I've also never gotten the sense of elation I hear other people talking about after exercising. There's a bit of "okay, that was a good thing for me to have done", but no actual "that felt great!".

    I may be broken.


    ASimPerson: If you don't mind my asking, what exactly is the draw? Genuine question, actually, I find it mystifying.

  • VivixenneVivixenne Not Mad... Just DisappointedRegistered User regular
    not really

    just means you get your kicks another way is all

    like... I don't get anything from drawing, really

    I'd rather smack a ball around than try to draw something marginally recognizable on a piece of paper

  • DE?ADDE?AD Registered User regular
    See, Viv, here's the trick - I don't get anything from drawing. It actually annoys me a little, because it's always worse than the image in my head.

    Now, people enjoying something I've drawn or created? That shit is fucking candy.

  • Blake TBlake T Registered User regular
    Well Dead do you feel any accomplishment when you win at something? Rather than just playing sport?

  • VivixenneVivixenne Not Mad... Just DisappointedRegistered User regular
    well see there you go

    I'm sure I would enjoy that feeling too

    but because I can't draw worth a damn it ain't like I'll be feeling it anytime soon

    so I go with something else to get that nice little feeling

    like coaching my team to a win in volleyball

    or, GOD WILLING, winning a volleyball match

    (it'll happen)

    (grumble grumble 2 0-3 losses in a row grumble)

    A bit, I guess? It'd probably be more accurate to say I feel bad when I lose at something, though.

    E: The above was in no way meant to sound whiny. I am just not that competitive a dude, and when I do compete I'm usually more focused on not looking like a chump.

    Getting a good run in hockey has me high for days

    blasting up the field alone, dodging and weaving between fully half the enemy team while someone gets on point so I can cross it down the back line and they smash it in for a goal

    oh it feels so good

    Perhaps you are the boring one and baseball is just trying to appeal to you because it loves you. Did you ever think of that?

    Baseball is much like cricket. And while I am not a huge fan of it I can totally see why people dig it.

    Nothing mean about it. That's pretty damn true.

  • Lost SalientLost Salient generally you don't see that kind of behavior in a major appliance Registered User regular
    But Dead, you are probably smarter than most of the people who would have the opinion that you are a chump!

    And who cares about what stupid people think?

    I mean you can always console yourself with the knowledge that you may have looked like a chump but your enormous brain could beat theirs up in a fight. You know, if your brains were removed and given limbs and taught how to rumble.

    In that case, Dead, you are just going to have to actually give your brain limbs and train it to fight, Rocky-style. I think we can all agree that this is the best solution after not caring in the first place.

    ...I am constantly beset with the fear that I'm not very likeable, and attach way too much importance to being liked. So I kind of know where you're coming from. For what it counts.

    Being liked is important! Basically the only thing that really matters are other human opinions, when you come down to it - self-worth only amounts to so much, and the strongest man can be toppled by popular opinion.
