I could probably play it a bit in the next few months, as I will be
doing a LOT of walking in preparation for a charity walk in June, but
any gameplay would need to be done in the short window I have as I pass points of interest (at around 2 metres/second, those windows can be
short! :) ).

Nah - you should be able to do it... You only have to be within a certain
range to 'hit' it... It will take several seconds to cross that radius...

For me, the connections I make are a lot of the reason I partake in a
lot of activities, plus I also need some hands on guidance to "get" the gameplay (in technical terms, it's a part of "executive dysfunction").
For me, teamwork is an important survival strategy in life itself.

I'm an extravert and love to make connections! Helps my stage show too,
IMHO. My wife is the 'leave me alone until I get to know you' person. :-)

I do move quickly, so yeah will have to be ready to pounce as soon as I hit the radius. :)

I like making connections too, the connections I've made through sport are a reason in themselves to keep going. :) I'm actually a complex mix between extravert and introvert. It's as though I get different energies from other people than I do alone, and I need them in balance. Too much of one or the other, and things go out of kilter. So, I do enjoy a good social occasion, but also some good quality downtime. :)

Hahaha, that would be about right! :D

Replace 'sport' with 'gaming' (board games, RPG's, etc.) and I agree 100%!

Hmm... I am probably more like you than I thought then... I enjoy the social time, but also enjoy alone time. I have enough hobbies that at any given
time I ALWAYS have something to do. :-)

Certainly for the social side, there is that parallel, though I also have that need to physically push my boundaries. Just had the season opener for cross country, ran 1.08km in 3:57, 3:40 for the first km, which is about what I expected, and around 25 seconds faster than I've ever run that course beofre.

And yes, did catch up with fellow club members for a chat or two. :D

Yes, we do seem to be similar in that way. I've always got hobbies on the go, or sports. The BBS itself is another hobby, and one with potential social connections. :) In fact, in my early 20s, I drifted away from computers, until I got the opportunity to use them for communication (packet radio, BBSs, networks, etc), and that potential for social connection revived my interest in computers then. :)

Thanks. This weekend, it's back to the track, got a 100m, 200m and 400m to run. :)

Interesting, me too. I'm just enough majority extrovert to be considered an extrovert, but heavy on the introverted side too. Social, but thoughtful and deep.

Out of curiosity, what's your Myers-Briggs? I'm an ENTP. (I've tested myself at least 10 times on different testing platforms, because I always feel like sometimes your mood can affect the answers, but amazingly it still picks me out consistently).

Cool, a nice balance like me. :)

I'm a bit more complex. Because 3 of my axes are pretty close to the middle, the only thing I can be sure of is the N part (intuition). Probably the most common result is INTJ or INTP, but I have had several other combinations crop up. :)
