Is a howl/roar almost as contagious as a yawn?
« on: October 22, 2017, 07:56:07 pm »
Do you get the urge to howl/roar whenever you hear a howl/roar?
I just had the thought that howling/roaring may be like FH's yawn, hence all the spurts of distant howling/roaring that pops up every now and then.

I'm wondering this as I feel like using the howl/roar action every time it's used nearby.

My presets.

Good things take time, so I'll take an eternity and create something so good that the human brain can't handle the sheer goodness of it.

It is contagious.  Partly an urge to communicate over distance i suppose. And partly the "Me too" or "I'll answer you" instinct.
The Japanese concept of wabisabi:
The closest concept in english would be 'rustic'
They might have an old thing, one example is a favourite bowl or dish, it's broken, pieces are missing, why fix it?  With gold and pieces from other dishes?
"Because it was my favourite & I like it"

usually when i'm tabbing and i hear a roar/howl in the game it makes me want to immediately click back into the game, i'm not entirely sure why i do this though. but no, i personally don't get any urges to roar/howl back.

I don't. I mute every sound of FH. But I do spend hours spamming the howl button on
purpose.

Interesting topic.~ I have to say that I hadn't thought about this before, but I do tend to notice that when once person howls/roars, the area is soon filled with many of that sound. I don't often join in, myself, but perhaps I should, if it's a secret feral communication. c:<

Not gonna lie, I nearly forgotten what the sound sounds like sometimes..
Most occasions it's actually not that bad and it even makes me sleepy...
Other times I just don't mind it.. But as for the urge to join in.. only whenever me and my friends aren't around anyone and are just goofing off.
Lol.

Keep on traveling across this road called 'Life.'

I too click into the game immediately after/during a howl/roar. Listening for howls/roars might be a great way of recruiting whilst tabbing out, despite all the false alarms there'll be.
