You're welcome! Do you think you'd be happy if you still lived in the woods? If you have goals now, how different would they be if your started on the hermit lifestyle? Right now you may aspire to get a promotion or buy a new car, if you're a hermit you might aspire to save up enough food for winter, or cut enough logs to burn to stay warm etc. Does the latter still sound appealing to you?

Hipster has become a buzzword in and of itself, completely agree with you that it was misused here. Its become a catchall word for anything non mainstream.

I would hate this lifestyle. I think a lot of people look at his situation longingly and wish they could do something similar, but as soon as they enter the situation, they would want out pretty quickly. The article talked about how he had winters where he ran out of food and propane. He had such a crazy will to stay hidden that he didn't bow out and continued on while suffering physical and mental anguish. To me, that's insane. . . Help was within walking distance and his pride kept him from going in.

You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed the read! The author did a tremendous job, I look forward to seeing more.

Isn't the society you're brought up in a huge catalyst for your moral choices? Easiest example that comes to mind is Middle East versus Western cultures. If you ask either side, they would both claim the other is morally corrupt. Someone going into the forest would take their moral values with them as they were. Maybe over time they would change as the lack of societal influence on them dissipated, but going in as a hermit, the previous influence would still be there. . .

I have removed the Maine link and added in Longfrom. Thanks for the suggestion Katherine.

A part of me wants to believe that at least a small portion of our identity isn't defined by other peoples perception of us. Humans are social creatures, but I'd like to think there are attributes that I have "internally" that define me as a person. When we are "free" of the slots other people place us in, how do you define yourself? Are you caring if you have no one else to care for? Considerate when your the only person to be considerate too. . .

There's coverage, but not much hype. We're competing for the world cup!, and it doesn't seem that way on the media right now.

I thought the poison was gonna get you for sure. GG

When a snap is part of multiple tribes with different formatting preferences, I wonder what you do. . .

All done :)

I own both and like them each for different reasons. I mainly game on PC, and will purchase a game for PC before the other 2. If you want more of a streamlined media experience then you'll want to go with the Xbox. Sony has a lot in its corner as well, focusing more on game play and sharing with friends over the tv media experience Xbox was going for. In the coming months, xbox is supposed to get an overhaul with the launch of Windows 10. it may emerge as the superior choice once Microsoft shows all the improvements for the system.

I was thinking the opposite! Here in America, this seems to be getting very little coverage. . .

Welcome! Do you own a 3d printer? What's some cool stuff you've made?

I've played the game since it's release and I'm kind of loosing interest pretty rapidly. If they don't have a port option from IOS, you'll have to start over and that doesn't sound appealing either. I was hoping it would hold my interest a little bit longer while we waiting for FO4 to finally hit.
