Has anybody gone there? IDK if I'll find anyone on a tech forum, but... Thought I'd try. Let me know if you have! Maybe post a cool story, too!

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

Yeah, I've heard of it. It all takes place in town; you just learn about beat poetry.

I am proud to say that it worked.

"Wilderness Awareness School", Because people aren't aware the wilderness exists? Interesting.

Maybe in 2215 it won't, but in 2015 there's still plenty of it left. Sounds like a bunch of hippie nonsense.

as a budding 'Foody' I've always wanted to hike around and be able to pick mushrooms and plants like in Skyrim to be able to take home and really personalize stuff I eat.

I've looked over these plants and tried to memorize them but taking that first bite is quite a scary thing. that said I did stumble across a meadow full of fiddleheads and damn those things are yummy.

 

edit: also taken to eating dandelions from herbicide/pesticide free areas as well.

Yum. Yes. Just avoid the cats ear.
