Flight Rising Discussion

I’ve learned „you can’t please everyone“ really rings true. It’s interesting seeing the general consensus and the outliers in the forums after a new feature is released. Idk if that’s the social experimenter in me or not, but it amuses me.

[quote name="ivycrowned" date="2019-09-04 19:43:56" ] I've always been data-oriented, but FR has taught me to use spreadsheets more efficiently and with more complex formulas. I have confidence in the sheets I make that only comes from experience, and I got that experience here. I've come to view a complex and helpful sheet as a form of art, which has actually been a pretty big part of my personal art practice and the fact that I'm actually strongly considering going to grad school for a masters degree in art once my partner finishes their MFA. (also having this confidence in data management has helped me impress my managers and get raises at work, so that's great too) [/quote] Oh man that's a mood. I wouldn't be half as good at Google Sheets without FR, hahaha. Data management and automated formulas are [i]really good and useful IRL[/i] in the right position.

[/quote] same for me too :o

Fr has done a lot for me! It's made me a lot of friends, but has helped me become a leader and organize things for others; I've picked up a lot of different skills while I've been here. Including economics! I've never been interested or invested in game economics but here I actually pay attention and try to work in with the system to benefit. But also it's gotten me to write more, not come up with material but getting it down with all the lore I write. I enjoy how productive I've become!

I can be kind of a jerk sometimes. [/quote] This is a big fat mood Also, it's helped me with communication and how to actually not make it seem like you're being mean when you meant it as a compliment or as a joke. I now know how to choose words better. Also, I'm better at writing and getting my ideas through words better so yeaaahhh [/quote] The biggest mood to ever mood. I've also met some of my closest friends on here (not offline unfortunately)

I'm not really sure why, I used to be a piece of work but the friendliness of the community really rubbed off on me I guess? Made me think " I want to be more like them" , still hard not to go off on people sometimes but I've learnt it's better to just accept disagreements and move on.

fr changed my life so that i can't read oof as anything other than the abbreviation of out of flight

FR has given me an outlet for character making that was a lot more approachable than starting completely from scratch after years of being really unmotivated with my own creativity. Real life still gets in the way a lot so I don't always have the energy to work on something, but I know that I can always come back to my dragons when I need to.
