For someone who is so healthy you sure complain a lot about physical activity
Maybe it's just your defensive and feminine personality

>>729503143
Because the fun part of that activity comes from the physical effort you put in, you just click and wait or play a dogshit minigame when its done in games.
The reason why some activities like fishing are fun in games is because both irl and in-game you just chill and wait for a bite or keep casting hoping you snag something.

NTA but I guarantee you're larping more than people who genuinely enjoy chopping down trees once in a while. It's genuinely fine if your hormones are acting up and you're irrationally mad at just existing. Nobody is going to fault you if you hate living. Where you should start considering suicide is the kind of mental illness where you can't let others enjoy digging a trench. I'm not saying that as a provocative statement or insult, you should genuinely start considering killing yourself. It's most rational path forward for everyone.

>>729505981
You're having a meltie because someone wants to chop a tree lmao

Who's the chimp here? Try to control your emotions better. It'll help you a lot in life.

I guarantee that every single person talking about how heckin' fun wood chopping is, has never lived in a house they actually have to heat with wood. Chopping a literal truckfull of wood over several days each late summer/early autumn is not "fun". It's a boring, repetitive and tiring menial task.

As far as monotony goes, chopping wood, clearing snow, carrying water every day aren't even that monotonous.

I don't consider you a man if you can't do chores. Nothing about stereotypically "manly" (lmao) chores like chopping trees. If you have that attitude towards making your bed, towards cleaning your room, brushing your teeth, you are a child in my eyes. There's a reason many armies drill you to make your fucking bed every morning you lousy subhumans. There's something extremely universal about it. How are you going to take responsibility of putting on your shoes correctly if you can't take responsibility of your fucking bed?

I don't like plowing snow. It's irritating and I'd love to just leave it there if it didn't make life harder in the long run. I'm not going to cry about someone who enjoys it. Bro, there's objectively a lot to enjoy about plowing the snow, even if it's heavy and wet. Now, if you like plowing iced over snow, you have a mental illness. I'm not going to judge, I'm just going to invite you over to do it for me.

>>729507175
Hitting you with an axe might actually be fun, true.

>>729503202
Back when I was a kid me and my mates used to go out in the woods to chop down trees for fun. You always got a nice adrenaline kick when the trees fell down. Also, it was illegal.

>>729503143
Gathering and crafting can at least be sped up, automated or abstracted to become less tedious. Now the real chore and padding is walking, because it requires you to keep moving from A to B every step of the way.

>>729507101
Nature hikes are great cutting wood is ass and boring

>>729505981
What do you consider "soulful" then? I'm not asking just to have grounds to attack you, because that's the modern internet for ya. But really, what do you consider a "soulful" activity?
You can reduce many things to "literal zero mental input", say cooking, sewing, walking, gaming, writing. Sure, you can disagree that "actually in this very context doing X takes a lot of mental work" but I'd rather approach it from a general pov.

>You haven't even split fucking firewood.
Splitting firewood is unironically fun if theres fuckall else to do and you're just killing time with friends and beer. For people chronically stuck in their homes you get the same feeling you get when you're punching trees or mining for ore in Minecraft while chatting with your dumbass friend.

as a leaf firewood chopping is just another chore one must do, unless you live in a home not in the north, or have converted to gas heaters

>>729507330
Slaving away at the office for shekelcorp is not fulfilling.
Slaving behind the counter at the shekelmart is a fate worse than death.
Hitting a tree with an axe until it drops or hitting a lock with an axe splitting it in two is very fulfilling.

>>729507424
Splitting firewood is easy mode. Felling a tree with an axe can be a grueling experience.

Axes are for splitting firewood and not much else now.

that being said if it's just another chore i do around the house then yeah, i'd probably find it annoying

I don't know why a german wouldn't know about canada, but
>the country above america that's full of natives

You should have clarified better, because I thought you meant the continent

Fun fact, having your firewood stored indoors can risk spiders laying eggs within it due to it being moist and warm, which is pretty much why people store it outdoors or in areas with no heating

>>729507062
>has a plow

Well la-dee-fuckin'-dah, mr moneybags. I actually agree with you though I only have a snowblower for my long ass driveway.

I'm just pissed you reminded me that all the snow is iced over.

>>729507908
A lot of people use manual saws, too. Which makes it kind of weird when people point out you wouldn't chop trees with an axe for fun. If true, that makes both the person making the statement and the person using the axe real fucking retards.

It's kinda fun in The Forest.

>>729507908
False. I once went to a medieval LARP camp where we would live just like in the middle ages (or at least how the organisers imagined the middle ages to be like) and we were runing out of firewood to heat the castle, so I had to fell a tree with just my viking battle axe (I wasn't allowed to bring my felling axe because that would be "too modern") and split it into tiny pieces so we could have fire agan and won't freeze to death in the castle.

>>729503143
Because you lose all the micro activities and detail yo go through in real life
Even chores are more fun than grinding in video games

>>729503143

>>729507134

For future reference, “America” exclusively means the U.S. 100% of the time.

if you have 8 hours to chop down a tree you use the first 6 to sharpen the axe

For me is cooking. I still haven't seen a single game that managed to make cooking fun.

But that is the problem, cooking in irl is like grinding in runescape. You are making the same motions over and over, slicing, stirring, mixing, checking. I love it but I can't possibly see a way to gamefy it without being dull as hell. Do the player really need to do the "slice minigame" for every fucking thing? This is boring, handling a knife irl requires skill, focus, speed, in a video-game would be a boring minigame.

I don't get cook fag either, cooking is 80% cleaning up, and 20% thinking about how to minimise cleaning up while cooking
Youtube shorts and instagram faggots makes it seem like a stylish hobby by going crazy with their knives, and pans while conveniently cutting out parts where they clean up the mess they made for the video, that shit is all performative

>>729510975
So here's a trick about cleaning.
You know you don't like cleaning, so why are you expending so much mental effort thinking about it? Actual cleaning is brainless activity. If you just do it instead of thinking about it, you get to think about whatever you want while you do it. It's the same feeling you get while you stand in the shower and just think "mmm water" but instead it's "mmm cleaning."

In reality, way more of your mental effort should be directed towards what you're contaminating with what.

Vidya oversimplifies the world so that it reduces computational complexity. Understandable, to some degree, but normalmucus normalfags don't give a shit about immersion and simulation complexity anyway so instead of wasting 6 gorillion hours optimizing your log splitting simulator why not make a animation-spamming cinematic experience like RDR2 which goes viral among the normalmucus NPCs and makes you money?

This, so much this. Just spam animations so that it gives the normalfilth a cinematic vibe and they'll make it viral for you. Make it too accurate and intricate and the complexity will make them seethe so hard they'll shit on it and spread negativity about it to other normalsphlegm peons.

the wood chopping was complete ass in MSC. some people have no issue with it but i personally never got it.
the angle in which you pick up the axe (unequipped) has an effect on how it behaves when it is equipped
i found it easier to break the logs by abusing a physics glitch, which got patched

>>729505981
It's fine and even healthy to let your mind just bumble around doing nothing mentally stimulating every once in a while. Let your mind relax a little man. And physical exertion in itself can also be satisfying in itself, because we're meant to move around every day actually.
And I say that as a lazy fuck who exercises way too little. But least I don't feel superior about it.

Lmao all you fucking 5 foot nothing manlets talking about cutting down fucking skinny ass poplar and shit is fun are fucking retarded larpers. None of you fags ever cut cords.
