State of the Game

like in new zealand - tourists go into the crater of a volcano and wonder when it erupts

Reminds me of when the urban hippies over here enter our Northwestern wildernesses to go "commune with the bears."

Oh yeah.

'Tame' was also blanketing one of the National Parks in 'vog' (volcanic fog) which messed my asthma up.

Sulfur + water... Yep, it'll do that.

Yeah hawaiian volcanism is very tame, but it's still volcanism. Sometimes nature like to reminds us she still rule.

Yeah, I absolutely expect following course of actions:

- humanity will somehow manage to stop it's negative impact on environment, maybe even reverse some of mess/warming it has caused. With a lot of effort and sacrificing our convenient way of living to achieve this.

- just when we will be about to breathe a sigh of relief and celebrate our success, combo of some random catastrophic events will happen. Sun will go berserk, volcanos will start erupting one after another, some major asteroids will hit earth, etc.

Actually it's the only scenario I can think of that triggers "plausible" label in my head.

Tame as in, it's just pouring lava in a predictable fashion. It still very much a big volcano.
Not tame mean "krakatoa" explosive. Very much not tame. Not predictable. Ask the Roman in pompei.

But people are so careless sometimes - Naples in Italy is not just near the Vesuvius volcano, but most of the city has been built right in the caldera of a super volcano, the phlegraean fields.

It usually ends in a slightly different fashion.

But the bears are well fed for a week or so. (Yes, they do poop in the woods. Urban hippies, to be exact).

I tolerate no competition!
(and hate wasting potential food...)

I like competition.
At least some specific type: the one that makes me feel better about myself,
when I see my competition a long way behind me.

scientific papers aren't worth a lot, if they aren't peer reviewed

Isn't this forum all in regarding peer reviewing ...

 

[Bottom Hat]

(sorry i should probably find something better to do than spam a game forum... lol, and so should you

I don't understand this concept.

I tried. They were too busy drawing giant dongs on the walls.

Society will then split, with the tender and juicy Eloi and me, under the ground living in my underground palace.

We are as peer as it gets.

People over here build cities in Tornado Alley. Then rebuild them. Yearly, sometimes.

Hey now, they draw a lot more than dongs. Essentially every part of both males and female was represented.
Brothel were popular in various, well, shape and form shall we say.

My treat to myself when I needed to be in work early was (if and only if I was early enough) to get a toasted bacon and brie sandwich and a mug of breakfast tea from the local sandwich shop - one of the many family (often Italian) run ones that there used to be in the City of London. And oh my. Oh my my my!!! So very goood... I'm salivating even now...

When I used to work just over London Bridge, the daily journey from the station to north side of the river always included a bacon bap with HP sauce being demolished while crossing the Thames... nom nom nom!!

Such a smart species. Said no alien ever.

Put the cities on wheels, Mortal Engines style.

Quite the artistic bunch, those Romans!
