Lindstrom Knows Everything, everything that matters, anyway Options

[Lindstrom]

Development came to a standstill when I realized energy storage technology is a couple years from making the whole thing run at the preferred efficiency. In the meantime, I've been studying geographical imaging systems and wind technology.

Do you mean you cloned a sandwich so sharing is easier? Cuz that rules.

[Toaster Boy]

Don't you hate it when people think they know everything about you?

[Lindstrom]

I hate it when people I care about misunderstand me or get the wrong idea. Anyone else, don't care.

[Toaster Boy]

Some people think that being hard on your kid's is truely horrible. I think that if you be somewhat hard on them you give them the guts to do things and the disipline to learn to restrain. What do you think?

[Lindstrom]

I suppose it depends on the psyche of the kid. Some are tough and grow from that, others break under it. The parents have a responsibility to understand the limits. My dad has always been hard on me, and my mom has always been sort of smothering, so when I was a little kid I would just keep away from my dad and run to my mom. Growing up I resented both of them; my mother was too soft and didn't want me getting my hands dirty, while my father too hard and criticized me heavily and put me down a lot. I ended up learning nothing from either and instead branched out on my own and learning from other people.

How come when you plan stuff out its always gotta crumble?

[Lindstrom]

Planning requires that everything goes as you expect. You can't count on what a particularly smart or particularly stupid person might do to throw a wrench into that. That's why I live the way I do. Only problem is it's hard to have anything close to a relationship cuz I can never find a girl who's my type and just as carefree.

[Hasfusel]

What would that be? Are you a Glenn Quagmire kind of guy who's allergic to commitments, or do you just want an open, easy kind of relationship? I can imagine most girls would want something more solid. Good luck in any case. Me, I have trouble deciding what I want anyway.

Oh, and good luck with the technology also. Wind technology has always struck me as interesting, indeed most things to do with the air. Apparently there's some people trying to work on some kind of synthetic tree that changes carbon dioxide to oxygen while generating electricity (?). There's loads of space of the coast of Britain that hopefully will be used for wind farms.

[Headtrip]

What system would they release Harvest Moon: Wind Farmer for?

[Lindstrom]

No, committing isn't a problem. Remember that time I said I don't really plan stuff? That doesn't fly with a lot of girls. I mean, if you asked the girls in your school, or on here, or wherever about what kind of things they have planned, it'll usually be like " I have to get married and have this many kids and live here and do this for a living". The idea of not being able to fulfill those plans is unsettling to them. I know that's not every girl, but I could never be with someone who had everything planned out. Or would ever say "we have to talk". I know what I want, the hard part is finding a girl like that, or I suppose realizing a girl I already know is what I'm looking for.

Sounds like a sweet ass tree. Britain has essentially the largest offshore wind capacity, and could definitely power the whole country on wind.

Nothing, I thhope. Would you wanna have a game that revolves around daily inspections of turbines? And if you put them in regular HM games, it would mean electricity is a commodity, which would just mean you now have utility bills. You can use the area around a turbine to farm and raise livestock though.

[Hasfusel]

Harvest Moon + Introduction of electricity and cities and modern stuff = bad. What do you think?

[Lindstrom]

At that point you might as well play SimCity.

[Headtrip]

But there was a television set in Mineral Town. Was it one of those hand-cranked ones?

[Lindstrom]

Underground waterwheels.

[Headtrip]

So who was the little girl from Jack's memory?

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

Actually, there is the waterwheel at the hen house. Rest of the games, iunno.

How fun is it when the snooty blue blood gets out classed by a butler?

[Lindstrom]

President's daughter. She was taken away after that.

Butlers rule. There was a period of time where I wanted to be a butler. I'd still do it, but I don't know where I'd find work.

[Toaster Boy]

You have 5 minutes to eat a bowl of cherries. What way would you eat them?

[Lindstrom]

I could probably eat 'em regular in 5 minutes. Otherwise, I'd like, hardly even chew them.

[Oscar]

What is soy lecithin?
