Good question, can't quite put my finger on why either.

>Tfw no game where you can explore giant bismuth crystal formations
It's mainly because geology is really fucking cool, crystal caves are one of those cool real life things we never get to interact with, similar to deep trench life, volcanoes, deserts, jungles. They're all popular cuz they're cool real places, but you probably won't ever explore one in your life

how else can we expect to defeat marfan's syndrome
but really crystals are just fucking neat, there's a reason they've been prized for thousands of years across nearly all cultures

crystals are badass

Not sure, but the guy in OP's image looks like he's gonna need some special treatment to get out of there.

I wish I knew.

Fuck I remember this game. Can't put my finger on the feelings if evokes in me but I know I don't like them.

you're still around?

how long has it been?

PROLLY A COUPLE MONTHS SINCE I LAST DID THE THING
HONESTLY I BARELY COME HERE ANYMORE
STILL OCCASIONALLY LIKE DOING IT BUT MY TIME HERE IS PRETTY MUCH OVER

They're pretty cool to look at.

crystals are like an essential to all future technology because of all of the reflections of light it has from the inside and that is to go through all of the other sides to enhance itself then outputs the power out like a battery system to a machine.

i'm glad you managed to escape this hellhole, how did you do it?

OMG ARE YOU THE FUCKING ANGRY ROCK-LICKER GEOLOGIST??

HOW THE FUCK YOUVE BEEN?

Whats the difference between rocks and minerals?

HONESTLY I JUST GOT REALLY FUCKING TIRED OF THE CULTURE
PEOPLE HERE JUST WANT TO START SHIT OVER EVERYTHING AND WOULD RATHER SPEND ALL DAY TALKING ABOUT POLITICS RATHER THAN VIDYA OR ANY GOOD OFFTOPIC SHIT
IT'S VERY HARD TO FIND ANYTHING THAT REMINDS ME OF WHY I USED TO COME HERE
BEEN ALRIGHT, HOPE YOU ALL ARE DOING OK

They are easy to draw and render plus they look cool

Because they're neat.

HOLY FUCK I'M GLAD I SAW THIS THREAD, I WONDERED WHERE YOU WENT

MODS ARE LAZY AND OFFTOPIC STUFF SHOULD BE JUDGED ON ITS OWN MERIT. EVERYONE KNOWS THE BEST THREADS ON THIS GODFORSAKEN BOARD ARE ABOUT ANIMALS OR FOOD OR SOME OTHER SHIT.

MINERALS ARE PURELY DEFINED MOLECULAR STRUCTURES WITH SET COMPOSITIONS
ROCKS ARE MADE UP OF MINERALS BUT ARE USUALLY MADE UP OF MANY OF THEM, WITH VARIOUS ORIGINS
ALL MINERALS CAN BE CALLED ROCKS, NOT ALL ROCKS CAN BE CALLED MINERALS
NO KIDDING MAN, THE BOARD I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED IS /out/, BUT Yas Forums USED TO CONSISTENTLY HAVE GOOD OFFTOPIC DISCUSSION, NOW IT'S PRETTY SHIT
NOTHING QUITE AS BASED AS THAT PALLASITE
HONESTLY I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO COLLECT AS MUCH RECENTLY BECAUSE OF MY WORK SCHEDULE AND LIMITED FUNDS

AY
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I WANT TO START COLLECTIN CRYSTALS

Love your work, son. Even had a folder saved all these years. Probably missing 90% of it all, but I grab what I can. Please dump all of your rocks into a bucket for me to pick up later, before you die forever.

Thats some sexy pyrite, do you have something more "lickable"?

GO TO YOUR LOCAL ROCK SHOP, SEE WHAT CATCHES YOUR EYE
READ UP ON THE KIND OF MINERAL YOU BUY, READ UP ON SIMILAR MINERALS, OR MINERALS IT'S FOUND WITH
SPREAD OUT FROM THERE
KEEP ALL YOUR RECEIPTS, YOU ALWAYS WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH SOMETHING COST YOU IN CASE YOU WANT TO SELL IT LATER
BUY WHAT YOU FIND PRETTY

Anybody has that homemade crystals recipe? been thinking on cooking up some

Because crystals are fucking cool and cute

The one with bleach, ammonia, and coins where you have to blow?

THANKS, ROCKFRIEND
I LIVE IN LOUISIANA
I HOPE WE HAVE COOL MINERALS HERE

why yes, user. That's the one I'm looking for so everyone here can make their own crystals :)

YEAH I'LL UPLOAD IT FOR POSTERITY, GIMME SOME TIME, MY INTERNET SUCKS HARDER THAN A VACUUM WITH DADDY ISSUES
EXTREMELY LICKABLE RIGHT HERE
WOULDN'T KNOW BUT BASICALLY EVERYWHERE HAS COOL SHIT
GOOD LUCK TO YOU

What are the conditions or how come some rocks look like this? Crystal clear, big, shiny coulors

Because humans are dumb monkeys who like shiny rocks
Myself included crystals are fucking rad

Will I die if I lick it?

This was one of the first games I ever player and the levels gave me a creepy claustrophobic vibe. The robot enemies were neat looking, though.

WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ON GREEN RANCHERITES?

BIG CRYSTALS LIKE THAT OFTEN PRECIPITATE OUT OF MAGMA CHAMBERS
MINERALS HAVE DIFFERENT MELTING POINTS, SO AS A CHAMBER COOLS, CERTAIN MINERALS WILL START TO GROW OUT OF THE FREE-FLOATING CHEMICAL SOUP THAT IS MOLTEN ROCK
IF THE COOLING HAPPENS MORE SLOWLY, IT'LL CREATE BIGGER CRYSTALS
AS FOR ITS COLOR AND CLARITY, COLORS COME FROM THE CHEMICAL MAKEUP AS WELL AS TRACE CONTAMINANT CHEMICALS, SO YOU CAN HAVE DIFFERENT CRYSTALS OF THE SAME MINERAL THAT HAVE DIFFERENT COLORS, FOR INSTANCE QUARTZ AND AMETHYST AND CITRINE
ALL THE SAME SHIT, JUST DIFFERENT TRACE ELEMENTS
NAH YOU SHOULD BE GOOD, TOURMALINE IS FRIENDLY
THE OBJECTIVELY BEST JOLLY RANCHER

Recipe is in spoilers. Now, I know that you know what actually happens when you mix bleach and ammonia together but, be careful for some of our "newfriends" :)

DONT DO THIS IT MAKES MUSTARD GAS

I want a career to do with crystals and geology. Minerals are cool.

HOW MUCH WOULD A BEGINNER GEOLOGIST EARN? ENOUGH TO STOP PIRATING VIDYA??

What has been the best representation of Minerals in vidya that you remember? What was the worst?

Yes, I think most of us know.

They're natural polygons.

It's been over 5 years since this image was commonly shared. There are a fuckload of anons that don't actually know what Yas Forums was ever like.

what a cool user. what other boards would I find you in? Yas Forums? /out/?

>there are highschoolers on Yas Forums right now, possibly on this very thread, who have absolutely no fucking clue what pre-gamergate Yas Forums was like
God fuck I've been here too long

You're here forever.

REALLY REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU DO
CAN GET PROBABLY 60K A YEAR STARTING IF YOU WORK IN AN ENVIRONMENTAL FIRM, MORE IF YOU'RE WILLING TO SELL YOUR SOUL AND WORK FOR OIL AND GAS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU RELOCATE FOR THEM
BIG PASS FROM ME ON THAT THOUGH
DORF FORT, HANDS DOWN
SOME OF THE GEOLOGY AND STRATIGRAPHY DON'T MAKE ANY SENSE BUT AS FAR AS PORTRAYING ORES AND GEMS AND SHIT NOTHING ELSE COMES CLOSE
THE BAD EXAMPLE I CAN THINK OF IS MINECRAFT, COURSE I STOPPED PLAYING BEFORE THEY REWORKED STONE AND SHIT
YOU'D NEVER FUCKING FIND ME ON Yas Forums, I'D RATHER SPEND 2 WEEKS CAMPING WITH THAT AUTISTIC KID FROM COLLEGE THAN SPEND ANY TIME THERE
/out/ IS A GREAT BOARD BUT I OBVIOUSLY DON'T DO MY DUMB CAPSLOCK ROCKFAG GIMMICK THERE
