Reply to comment by ringobob in There really isn't any reason why north is always upward and south is always downward on maps. by GuinnessTheBestBoi

I think the actual answer is that you put yourself in the middle and then as you explore all around you you expand the map. So at the beginning you may choose South/North arbitrarily just based on the local features. Then as you explore you find out whether you are on top or bottom of the expanded map.

TBH this is one of the things someone knows the true answer and I could just Google it, but it's fun to speculate.

Well, competitive gaming is always dsmaging due to repetitive movement... That also works with chess, since physical shape helps oxygenation and mental performance, chess players need to have physical stamina...

But I'm talking more about casual play. (But you are right, computer gaming can cause early arthrites and so on..)

I mean, I agree with you, but it’s kinda meaningless to say we weren’t born with our consent. That’s true of every human ever, so like, what’s the point? I get where you were taking it and I agree with you on the topic, just kinda think there’s a better way to approach that argument
