In case you're having a rough day go brush a pony, skip a rock on a lake, or just scream out into the alps [link will take a little while to load]

Myself, I'm anticipating the MMORPG version of this.

I'm stuck on "go brush a pony". Tell me again, why would I want to skip a rock?

I used to spend hours in WoW fishing. It was very soothing. If they'd had rock-skipping I would have done that, too.

I have spent literally hours of AC3 gametime petting dogs. HOURS.

When our first brave galactic explorers journey to Mars this will help them to remember from whence they came.

You can spend hours in real life doing these things and there's no monthly fee.

Screaming into the Alps seems ill-advised. Avalanches are not soothing.

Once you've brushed the pony 100 times you afford a grandma who brushes with a base BpS (brushes per second) of 0.5 and a max BpS of (0.8 + amount of grandmas / 25 + amount of ponies / 20) x 2^16.

This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps!

Next time I'm unwinding at midnight after a hellish day at work I'll go skip rocks in the dark because that will be way more normal.
