At least we can all agree that there aren't any mountains West of the Rockies.

I think you will find that the Sierra Nevada has mountains and they are taller than the Rockies.

I was hiking in the smoky mountains in Tennessee and talking to some random people about hikes in Colorado and California and they explained to me how Colorado hiking is ok and fine but they would never go to the Sierra Nevadas because those were "bitchy liberal" mountains where "you can't even carry a gun" and apparently mountain range rivalries are a thing I hate this stupid loving country.

The vistas in the Rockies are amazing. The vistas in the Smoky Mountains are amazing. The vistas in the Adirondacks are amazing. All mountains matter.

The drive east from Nashville on I-40 is pretty nice. First the eastern Highland Rim, then the Cumberland Plateau, then the Smoky Mountains. There is a spot where you crest this hill, and all of a sudden you can see the Smokies spreading out in front of you and it’s like “drat, son!”

Tree cover. There's something to be said for hiking in the shade.

Sundae posted:I had a JFK airport cab driver pull out one of those imprint sliders in the last five years or so. Blew my mind; hadn't seen one since the mid-90s in Kansas as well. Pretty much every retail store has one of these shoved in a draw somewhere should the credit card machine go down. I thought it was the coolest thing as child and would beg my mom to let me do the imprint. Urban farming! Happens in a lot of cities, even New York, and it's more a network of gardens than a big field full of soybeans. People will buy/rent empty lots, weird patches of green space that can't be built on, peoples yards, or setup container or hydroponic gardens on paved spots.

I've seen at least a dozen rooms full to the brim with mtg commons from box buys. 10k each spent on cardboard. They are doing fine.

The player base for hearthstone is about 70 million. It's harder to find numbers for magic given the whole not being able to just count number of users but the numbers I found estimated 12 million. So more like whatever percentage that is, higher then 1% at least

Wizards did have retail stores at one point. I went to one once when visiting family in Phoenix in 2000. Welp that's my story.

I remember the first time I went to MoA, there was a Wizards store, a Lego Store, a Funcoland, an arcade and a movie theater and an entire theme park. I was in heaven. MoA is kinda lame now.

Haifisch posted:I was dragged there once and was thoroughly unimpressed with how it was the same damned stores you can find in any other mall, but with more sit down restaurants in random places. And a lovely-looking indoor theme park. It was also built before there was the grotesque over abundance of malls and before internet shopping was really a thing. It opened in 1992 when we were still coming off of the extreme materialism of the 80's and the nihilism and grunge of the 90's hadn't gone in full swing yet. Gas prices had yet to go insane so a road trip to the biggest mall wasn't out of the question.

The fact that the MoA is located in a city where its pretty much impossible to be outside for 4-5 months a year has probably helped it a lot too. People in Minneapolis definitely get cabin fever as the winter goes on, the MoA is at least big enough to seem almost-kinda-outside in comparison to being inside an office or house.

I went to a job interview in Minneapolis and got there early like the night before, so thought I'd check in on my 90's kid nostalgia and see MoA. It has NOT aged well. Also the people I interviewed with ridiculed me on the basis of this decision, and I didn't get the job.

I had the same experience, I think part of it was that I lived in New Jersey for a chunk of the 90s though, so to me it was just like, any of the number of all within a short drive of where I lived at the time, but next to each other.
