Interesting implications, perhaps the global positioning system is not as infallible as we thought

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
