This thread is a kind of dumping ground for "interesting" and community building off-topic posts in the Rose section.
If you have something you'd like to post, but fear it's off-topic, feel free to add it here, and regulars can see it and join in. If you are feeling care-free and post something inoffensive but off-topic elsewhere in this section or conversations go too far off course, I may move them to this thread.
It's not a replacement for "Outer World" sections, but could be useful for topics which don't quite fit there, or here, but are good for "getting to know one another". As I say, that builds communities, allows friendships to form and common interests to be found. All of which is an "enabler" for team building.
---Original Start of "Off-Topic" discussion---
Also; when trying to learn to change things, don't decide what you want to change and then try to work out how to do that, instead try changing things and see what effect it has on the game.
The former tends to people having great plans to change things which require very in-depth knowledge and a broad range of skills which take years of study to develop. Whether it be artwork assets and animation or in-depth coding and mathematics.
Watch a small child learning... They don't decide they don't want the beach ball where it is, but somewhere else. What they do is throw their arm about until it collides with the ball and observe the effect they have had upon the world around them with glee. ^_^ If they break stuff, they smile, giggle and clap their hands, if they make something work, a toy car roll along the floor or a building block snap into place they are ecstatic. This is how we must proceed with any new task for which we have no prior experience.
A scary thought when creating your first nuclear reactor. XD
