Breaking news! Sometime this summer I am moving to New Zealand to start a new life adventure. Hoping there is a good tutorial. And maybe some achievements.
@grumpygamer Congrats, Ron. Hope things go well for you.
@grumpygamer there has to be a treasure chest somewhere behind this waterfall or on the ground of this little sea 🏴‍☠️ 🤣
@grumpygamer Maybe @zep has some good tutorials. 😜
@grumpygamer maybe there is a secret. Maybe even a monkey.
@grumpygamer congrats! Enjoy that Middle-Earth scenery!
@grumpygamer Enjoy! Just please continue to do great games.
@grumpygamer Moved here almost 7 years ago. No regrets. If you're a completionist, there's _a lot_ of nature walks with waterfalls at the end...
@grumpygamer this video helped a lot in the beginning 😉 https://youtu.be/yRxFm70nOrY

That looks like Hunua Falls.

Yep, every walk with a waterfall at the end counts towards your trophy if you’re looking to 100% your bush walks.

@grumpygamer
More of a cheat-sheet than a tutorial
@grumpygamer wellington is pretty rad - ive been there a few times. great food, awesome chocolatiers! :D
@grumpygamer and some good sidequests.
@grumpygamer Wow- that's quite a change. Should be an amazing change of pace & scenery. Can't wait to see what this leads to.
@grumpygamer I have considered that side quest as well. I'm interested to hear how it goes. Especially if... <side-eye in the Washington DC direction>
@grumpygamer what part of NZ are you moving to? If you’re in Wellington I can give you a tour. I’ve lived here my whole life.

@grumpygamer

Living the dream! I always wanted to move to or at least visit the place.

@grumpygamer it’s a beautiful place. I spent 3 months hiking and travelling around NZ. I’d do it again if I could. Don’t talk to the cannibals, though they’re not dangerous
@grumpygamer How exciting. Hope it all works out.
@grumpygamer tutorial, tutorial... better go and have a talk with Carla (a local sword master).
@grumpygamer Wow! Best of luck on all new adventures!
@grumpygamer Congrats! It's a wonderful part of the world that I hope to be able to visit again some day. Exciting times! 🥳

@grumpygamer congrats. I think it’s only Australia which has the spiders.
@grumpygamer and easter eggs! don't forget easter eggs!
@grumpygamer oh how amazing!! What a fantastic adventure, and what an amazing place. My wife and I fell in love with NZ on our honeymoon and have been meaning to go back and take our kids too. So cool!
@mattgodbolt If you get over there again, look me up!
@grumpygamer it may be a plan for a year or two's time: Thanks! And bear of luck with the move!

@grumpygamer another guy flees the US before the next Trump shitshow rains down ;-)
@grumpygamer Heh, what a coincidence. I've been toying with that same idea. Last night I was even trying to get a grasp of work visas and all that malarkey. I definitely feel that "need a tutorial" comment though, that's really a perfect way to describe it.
@grumpygamer that's rad! what's that visa like, how are you pulling it off?
@grumpygamer Looks like such a beautiful place to live. Every Friday I sit down after work to watch another exciting episode of https://youtu.be/_51M4aZANyA?feature=shared
I Left Auckland to Move to the South Island

@grumpygamer Nice, good choice! It looks like one of the most beautiful places on the planet!
@grumpygamer wow!!! that's so exciting! 🤩
@grumpygamer Yay, just a quick flight across the pond to visit us Aussies! Maybe drop by for Melbourne International Games Week?
@grumpygamer I’m always “window shopping” a NZ reboot. We almost moved just before Crossy Road came out. Wellington would have been the destination then. Lately I’ve been looking at New Plymouth.
@grumpygamer Wow! I wasn't expecting to find this when looking for other games you've made besides MI, which has in some way been in head for the last 30 years before I finally got the kids addicted to it. I hope you have a fab time finding your way around and building a life here while I find my way through Thimbleweed Park.
@grumpygamer whoa... congrats!! Hope it's a great combination of peaceful and exciting
@grumpygamer sounds great Ron. I also want to go to NZ. Europe's going down hill as well.
@grumpygamer Have you selected your city, town, shack in the woods yet?
@grumpygamer
You've spoiled yourself with the tutorial in RtMI. Unlikely that a country tutorial would reach that quality, but happy to be proved wrong!
@grumpygamer I hope your inventory is open and there's unlimited savegame-slots.
@grumpygamer oh wow welcome to Aotearoa! I’m ex-Wētā Workshop, hit me up if you’re in Wellington for a coffee
@grumpygamer Sometime in winter, I'm moving to Michael Z. Land!
