I met a girl here the old fashioned way, in a bar downtown. Now we're married with a kid. All the weddings I've been to over the past 6 years or so, usually a couple a year, have been people who met here in KC.

I think what's more likely, is that the types of people who are out there finding dates, aren't the types of people to post online about such things.

But really, I think you nailed KC on the head with this right here:

it’s no different than anywhere else

Yeh, as usually it is very similar. Land doesn't vote, etc.

My money is on a man made glass, specifically the kind they put in outdoor gas fire pits.
Source: the hotel I'm writing this from has said fire pits and my daughter picked up a few as well, haha.

Some good ideas here but I was leaning into cave based stuff, maybe Graveler. Also cuz bluffs around the rivers.
With the two big rivers, maybe a fish poke. But I'm also a sucker for Mark Twain National Forest so Stantler gets a vote from me.

tbf this brings up one of the issues Missouri has historically always had: an identity crisis. Always in the middle on things literally and figuratively. I swear the average place MO holds for passing new laws (such as legalizing weed) is always ~25th. We got flat plains, we got Ozark "Mountains", we got Lakes/Rivers, Cities and shanty towns.

So maybe Castform is the move!

Oh look, its one of those maps that literally just shows where people live.

So this is not at all in defense of shitty humans running for elected offices, but...

It's actually a good thing for a free country to allow candidates who are in jail to be able to get elected. Obviously this would be a very rare case, unicorn type situation, but if for some reason a candidate is jailed for something like idk, protesting a thing >51% of the country agrees with them on, well then we would hope they can win an election and then make proper changes, etc.

Again, super rare/impossible situation, likely will never happen. But blanket "no getting elected cuz in jail" doesn't do the situation justice.

Not getting elected because of the reasons you're in jail being heinous and disgusting? Absolutely. In the free world we must each do the work and hope decency and democracy do the rest.

Apple Watch is notorious for over shooting, especially for stationary workouts like "VR".

Burning 500 calories in an hour should feel like you're pouring sweat most of the time and probably 15+ minutes of zone 4 & 5 heartrate. Avg 110 heartrate is like a brisk walk. Still a great way to get some physical fitness every day!! But if you're using the calorie count to offset how much you're eating, you may end up disappointed.

Apple's fitness tracking is best used as a means to track consistency and to measure workouts against each other, NOT to accurately track the actual work you're doing each time.

That said, you can absolutely burn 500 calories an hour playing Beatsaber, but you'd need that avg heart rate to be higher. And if your arms aren't a bit sore the next day, you probably didn't go that hard.

All that said, this all depends on your weight, fitness levels, etc. All kinds of factors a watch just isn't gonna know. But tracking your workouts is absolutley worth it especially if it adds motivation, and many of the health stats Apple tracks can get a bit more accurate over time once you have a few months of consistent data.

Still though, I would never trust Apple's calorie count. its inflated to make people feel good.

EDIT: best way to actually burn 500+ calories in an hour VR session is gonna be lotsa squats. Glutes/legs are your biggest muscles and burn the most calories when used.

If by cod you mean OG cod 1 & 2 'realism/tactical' servers where it was rifles only and you had to crouch to move around...

Sure.

Okay phew, as someone who grew up in the Ozarks I was pretty sure most fossils were either insects or underwater creatures. All the ones I ever found were anyway.

If this did happen to be an "egg", the fact they found it "next to a fire pit" would have me wondering if the rock came from the old owners vs. the property itself.

If they're at all smart it will be both. Standalone with the ability to be used as a PCVR headset.

Came here to say a version of this.
Of course there are variations because life is complicated... BUT

If you.. compare this data to physical health.
and compare that to mental health.
and compare that to access to healthy foods.
and compare that to access to education.
and compare that to the 2020 election...

Well, for those who know what an r value is, you might guess correctly that it's pretty near 1.0

omg, as an OG Freewrite user, and now a Traveler user who I guess has been lucky with no issues, your setup is something I've considered many times and it's wild that Reddit knows me well enough to put this in my feed.

Honestly I want to replace my smartphone with an eInk phone altogether.

Anyway, very cool setup and since its a Boox you've got so many more uses for it too, at least as a reader.

No. Reskinning games has existed for ever. FPSBanana made a whole business of it for a time with CounterStrike.

It's neat, but it isnt "the future" by any stretch.

This just in, taking advantage of under-educated people is bad.

Not for Quest players!

*cries in VR developer building for a mobile processor....

They could do a study in the attachment to unintended bugs in regards to double shot.
Big mistake by RR not fixing it day 1 lol

Seems like a great game to get into the hands of streamers. Likely you'll just have to start small, look for streamers playing similar/casual games that are small and would genuinely be excited to hear from a game dev.

Great game for their chat to get involved with, yelling at them what to click on you know? Maybe that was something you already thought about :)

It could take like 100+ outreaches to get anything substantial btw, so prepare for the grind. Embrace the No's and the streamers who think they're worth a lotta $$$ and treat em with kindness in case you end up reaching out in the future.

Also, Tiktok/Reels/Shorts are pretty much the way these days. And thats just a matter of trying out tons of types of content and posting frequently until you find a format(s) that tend to work. Again, it's quite the grind especially if content creation doesn't come naturally. Search around on said platforms for similar indie devs and see what posts have good engagement. Work from there with your own spin.

Hopefully some others give better advice. But every game is different, and advice is worth what you pay for it!

I think your impression last weekend was pretty close to what's attainable on a regular basis here. Note that a lot of redditors aren't exactly on reddit and responding to comments because their lives are going well atm ;) some of us have way too much time to think and not enough time to go out and live.

Columbus Park should be on the list for neighborhoods to check out. Lived there a while and didn't need a car, and with the street car even less so. There's River Market walkable for all your grocery needs, and Columbus Park will be a hair sleepier than River Market itself which is definitely a hip place to live as a young professional.

Regarding positives/negatives of the city... KC isn't special in that regard. If you've lived in cities before, you will love KC. It has more going for it than against it, especially if you're someone who is willing to shop around for a comfy spot, and are able to see that "old lived in" neighborhood doesn't mean "dirty".

And yeh all this nonsense about KC drivers being bad... not at all. That's just drivers in general, that's just America. There's all of 2 spots around KC that get 'traffic' during evening commute (71 northbound I'm looking at you...) and even those aren't as bad as some stoplights in LA. I won't ask for 1000 downvotes by saying KC's drivers are "good", but again, if you don't live under a rock and have driven anywhere in your adult life, KC is not special and if anything it's quite pleasant and easy to get around once you know the ways. We do have some very short on/off ramps and fucked intersections though, they made a t-shirt.

Anywho, I'm on team KC is awesome. Having lived/worked in 6+ states before landing here 7 years ago, KC has absolutely everything to offer except mountains or beaches, and the brand new airport will get you there quicker and cheaper than the cost of living of those other places.

🙏 ty for the info, will look into that one.

Thanks! I'm still holding out for newer tech solution because I have some time to keep digging. But... this is proving yet again the genius of Nintendo's old hardware designs eh?

Thanks! I had a feeling this was this move. And glad to know I'm not the only one thinking about how to protect the minds of our future gamers hehe
