"Flat terrain is bad"

AnonusAnonus
in General
why is this a thing? especially because in many "flat" parts of America there's usually trees and stuff

    What the hell are you talking about, etc.

    Kinda boring I guess, if you judge terrain by topographic interest. Which I do all the time, your moral worth is fixed by STRM30_PLUS.

    I don't think most people think of terrain as exciting/boring.

    I can think of a couple kinds of people who do, topography entusiasts (extant, but few and far between), people who make world maps for RPGs (not talking about real places anyway), and landscape painters (fair enough I guess).

    I don't know what I'm getting at with this post. Someone finish my thought for me.

    Whores! we want "poems that kill."
    Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
    guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
    and take their weapons leaving them dead
    Remember that one episode of Dan Vs where Chris starts freaking out over how flat Midwestern America is?

    That was such a good episode.

    Tell them that flat terrain is objectively good for cavalry charges.

    But that's not because it's plains; that's because it's Kansas.

    i like hilly landscapes and i guess i'd feel a bit exposed out somewhere with flat plains as far as the eye can see

    'flat terrain is bad' feels a bit oversimplifying, also i guess i'd tend to think more in terms of 'mountains are cool' or 'hills are pretty' rather than the negative

    So...yeah. In my mind, flatness is the default. Mountains and hills, when I encounter them, are a bonus.

    For once, or maybe twice, I was in my prime.
    Man, you get actual forests. In Nebraska, we didn't even have that much.

    Flat is fine as long as it's broken up with a variety of stuff on top of the flat. It's just when everything is samey looking that it's boring and unpleasant.

    Nebraska has forests.  There just aren't many of them.

    I actually kinda liked driving through the flat midwestern states, as the vast emptiness seems sort of profound to me.

    This is the only time I like anything flat

    Highways in NY are mostly strip malls and industrial shit so actual flat expanses of grasses would actually be a change of pace

    I'm lucky if I come across a flat patch of land. Sheffield is nestled among the hills, and there's even hills near my house.

    this sort of thing has admittedly kind of put me off of moving to the LA/Orange County area

    place seems like it has been completely built up

    Michio has lots of this stuff

    This, mostly.

    I still prefer hills. Flat places tend to give me the sensation of going nowhere, even if they make walking less difficult.
