One Hour One Life Forums

I think I finally understood the fundamental differences between my opinion and those of other vocal forum users. Some enjoy change for the sake of change versus others who expect all changes to bring immediate increases in their enjoyment (progress / improvement).

I do agree that is has gotten harder, but my enjoyment has not changed.

I am content with this game and I enjoy living through the changes. I play on average an hour a day so my limited experiences may factor in.

I strongly believe that progress (changes that improve)  is a subjective term as it tends to be used by people who are not as sceptical about the limits of human knowledge.

ex:

"This change is not progress as it has now ruined the game forever for me." -> How can we know that a direct consequence of this change will not quadruples your enjoyment?

"This change is progress as it will lead to even more positive changes to the game" -> How can we know that a direct consequence of this change will not lead to even worse changes?

"This change has left me indifferent." -> I am indifferent because changes are constant and I don't want to overthink the first two questions after each update. I'd rather just focus on using my free time to enjoy myself.

In contexts that aren't about changes in a game, my position can change...

funny enough, the last episode I watched-> he was eve on feb 14

@Grim

just played, didn't really notice a huge difference. just you can't rely on your city as much for food if there isn't someone dedicated to keeping things running smoothly

people were really not happy when they discovered that i was able to change clothes and hang around town for so long minding my own business while some starved trying to find me in the forest and a person stabbed another trying to transfer a knife.

essentially, the town came to a standstill after the murder. I got at least 4-5 curses when i revealed to the munchers that the killer had been observing them this whole time. I got another series of curses when someone finally stabbed me. A random person healed me which got more people angry and more curses. I got stabbed again and got more curses. I'm pretty sure it was over 10

by the time i found a bowl, you shot me with a snowball (you chose a fitting username)

eh i got three curses in, i might still curse the name to see what happens  (almost got it finsihed, thx for the curse https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ … 656817915)

nice meeting you, it was definitely a challenge surviving the few minutes i did.

if someone is new when they are my child, i always give them the same tasks.

make a basket, make a sharp stone, make a home marker than go into the wild, survive on wild food and bring back things you find interesting when your basket is full.

I do this because the most basic skill that needs to be learnt is how to survive with nothing and it prevents them from becoming berry munchers when they discover they can explore the map easily without dying. it also gets them in a good position to have children as eve and with luck their first child will be able to show them the ropes for that part of the game.

if not, i just give them specific tasks to help in whatever project i am doing at the moment, so i can either focus on a different part (ex: getting me wheat for compost) or fixing some other issue that I spotted (go from baking to tending a carrot field).

Yeah, learning and teaching in game is what makes this a great experience for me.

I will always remember trying to make corn tortillas and only managing to get as far as bowl of corn in limewater as me and my brother spent a most of years just figuring out how to get corn kernels.
