AquaTofana, in Why wasn't NYC's Central Park concept copied by other cities?

Baltimore, Maryland has a gigantic green space (second biggest woodland park in the United States according to Wikipedia) right in the center of the city called Leakin Park. It’s gorgeous during the day time, but unfortunately during the evening most people avoid it because it’s become a dumping ground for bodies.

It’s become known in the region as one of the most dangerous parks in the United States, which super sucks.

Crashumbc,

Also has Patterson Park which is huge, minus the body dumping.

Atomic, in Gamers who have gamed for a long time

Play whatever you enjoy. Maybe you feel like you don’t have the time to sit down and invest yourself in a story die to other commitments like work or family. That’s normal.

It’s your free time. Gaming should be a fun hobby, not a chore.

Wish more games would have a “I have not played this in a month and need a quick recap” mode.

Unironically Homestuck if you’re going to be in bed for a few weeks

I’ve heard good things about Homestuck. Isn’t it interactable? I don’t have my laptop, so it’d need to be compatible with mobile until my parents bring over my computer.

Homestuck is mostly static, but there are a few animations and interactive elements.

Problem Sleuth is fine on mobile though (it’s the previous webcomic by Andrew Hussie).

usually watch something or sit outside watching stuff

They do, they’re just not as large as central park, not as iconic, and they’re more misshapen.

someguy3,

Obviously I’m talking about large parks on the scale of central park.

Salad_Fries,

Well, youre not going to find something “on the scale” of central park in other cities because no us city is “on the scale” of nyc…

-Size wise, nyc’s population is nearly double the next largest city… -Density wise, nyc’s population density is nearly double that of the next densest city -skyscraper wise, nyc has nearly double the quantity of skyscrapers as the next most skyscraper heavy city…

See the trend??

If you look at it proportionally though, many US cities have something similar, many of them have been brought up itt…

Personally, id say pittsburgh and chicago have roughly what youre looking for…

-chicago has a few large urban parks that are surrounded by skyscrapers… the only difference is that they are next to the lake… pretty much all the amenities in nyc’s central park can be found in lincoln & grant parks…

-pittsburgh also has a large urban park in the heart of downtown (hell, they bulldozed 1/3 of downtown to build it)… while it only has skyscrapers on one side, it is literally 1/10th the size of nyc, so give it some slack lol.

someguy3, (edited )

Central Park was established in 1860 when NYC was 1 million people. Other cities could have seen this good idea and set aside land when they were even smaller.

Salad_Fries, (edited )

And the same still applied in 1860… nyc was double the size of the next largest city back then.

And to answer your question, they did do the same… chicago for example also built lincoln park in 1860 even though they were 1/10th the population at the time. The only difference between central & lincoln park is that lincoln park is larger than central park & not as square… its entirety (that isnt water) is surrounded by skyscrapers & is very much central to the city…

To add more, central park is 4 miles away from the citys financial district… lincoln park is 2 miles away… it is MORE “central” than central park lol

Idk man the updates to games I’ve played for years get me very excited.

Playing other games? Why though.

birdvox, in What are some good (and free) webcomics?

Digger by Ursula Vernon has been around for a while but it’s my favourite.

I’ll check it out! Thanks!

MacGuffin94,

It’s been running for about 20 years so there are a lot too go through. There are a few filler stories along the way which are good and bad but the main story is really well written and illustrated and pretty different than most stories I’ve read.

JustZ, in Gamers who have gamed for a long time

As I get older I find I have to know what I like and spend extra time selecting titles because I know that I won’t be buying that many games because I don’t have time to play all that much. I buy what I know I will like and that way I will finish it. I don’t want to feel like I’ve wasted time.

Sometimes I jump back and replay games that I really enjoyed. Even like an MMO, I’ll reactive my character after years of not playing.ast game I bought was Witcher 3 on Steam sale. Will be buying Cities 2 this week, after waiting for it for years and years.

I’m excited for Cities 2 as well but keep reading its poorly optimized. Let’s hope not 🤞

JustZ,

It’ll come around. I’m okay with it.

Astral Aves sort of stopped updating a while back, but what there is of it is absolutely amazing.

How about my comic? Hehe

Seriously though Gone with the Blastwave is something I always come back to once in awhile

zephyreks, in Why wasn't NYC's Central Park concept copied by other cities?

Vancouver - Stanley Park (downtown), Queen Elizabeth Park (geographic center), Central Park (Metrotown)… The lack of parks in US cities is a matter of poor planning.
