Quality Vs. Quantity

So initially I was hung up on having to make every single post a polished work of art. This has made me less likely to post at all. So I’m opting for quantity today and just posting something off the top of my head. What to talk about? How about the weather?

So the weather here in “undisclosed-location-with-subways-and-the-statue-of-liberty” is pretty damn drastic especially in spring. One day I’m putting away the hooded sweatshirt and busting out the shades and sunscreen. The next, I’m layering with my waterproof jacket on. Hell this goes on in the same day in spring time.

You know what this reminds me of? Videogame weather. You all know what I’m talking about. A game developer puts a weather variation engine in their game and they have it go from sunny to rainy every three minutes. I experienced this with a number of games.

This city really is like a game in many respects. In fact, you could apply a game mechanic to a number of situations. e.g walking, taking the subway, managing money

Maybe that’s my draw to this place. Maybe my gamer instincts are put to the test here and therefore fulfilled, giving me a sense of gratification. Oh who knows?

Anyway I didn’t expect this post to make a whole lot of sense. I’m just writing.
