Lots of games use "paper" maps, so it's probably not as dire as you think.
as someone who grew up playing DnD and video games, and also does navigation in the outdoors for work ...
these are two entirely different skill sets be fucking for real lmao
I don't think they're that disparate, and my background isn't ant different than yours. I work in ArcGIS every day and have played video games and ttrpg for 30 years now.
Do you go outside and use the maps? And navigate in the field with a compass? I am sorry but yes, obviously using a computer program is going to be somewhat similar to playing a video game.
Making maps and using maps are not the same skills.
It doesn't matter if I say I use the maps I make, your mind is made up.
Do you? ArcGIS and navigating in the field are not the same thing. I assume you don't, or else you wouldn't have brought up a tangentially related skill?
You're just saying my mind is made up because you don't have anything to contribute to the discussion lol
I said I use the maps I make, you assume I'm a liar based on the fact I won't provide exponentially more evidence than your own for the basis of my opinion. I'm not going to dox myself nor write a dissertation for you. This isn't a discussion. Your mind was already made up when I disagreed with you.
This is literally the first time you have said you use maps, so yes, you are a liar? Literally?
It's not a discussion because you're not bringing anything to the discussion lmao
Sounds like a job for space force!
I knew it was a branch that was going to come about sooner or later, but I so wish it had a less dumb and boomer-sounding name. Like… come on. We are the country that made Star Trek. We built a CVN named Enterprise as a not-so-subtle nod to the series. We could have had the United States Star Fleet.
