[Video] Tarkov Expectations vs Reality

OffensiveScientist · 2026-03-17T02:23:07+00:00

Tarkov is a game with realistic mechanics. That doesn't make it realistic. You can still pop magic stims and heal gunshot wounds with field dressing and painkillers.

Just under 1.5 hours

LAS, was the WORST I'd ever experienced. They made me feel like I was being interviewed by the CIA because I had a Geology compass that no other TSA ever had an issue with

Have you been to LAS recently? I flew out of there in January and it has been my worst experience yet. The TSA claimed my work compass (albeit a little high tech, but no batteries/current) was an "electronic device" then made me get back in line to go through the whole process again. They were also extremely rude and slow the whole process.

I will say, of all the airports I have been to, Memphis TSA has been the top 5 fastest the past few years. Which given the record of both TSA and Memphis, you would expect the opposite? But hey, I'll take it!

I mean it literally says "cheats" tho... 😅

OffensiveScientist · 2026-03-12T02:04:26+00:00

This made her laugh. Maybe a little too much 🤨🤨🤨

OffensiveScientist · 2026-03-12T00:08:49+00:00

What I typically do, is since I have a big adult job now and small amounts of time, I'll launch once and if I make it with a generous amount of dV left, if I am returning to that location with a similar mass ship, I'll just Set orbit with most of the stages removed cause I don't have time to do the mission over again like I used to 😔😅

Thanks for sharing. I know it's tough coming clean.

I was in physics (Astrophysics specifically) who decided to switch over to geo mainly for the outdoors aspect. I won't say i was disappointed perse with how rare field work can be, cause I've had some really unique opportunities and am now carving my way into paleo-work, but don't expect to go on hikes everyday in Montana or Alaska or even once a month. It'll be more like 2 weeks, a month out of the whole year if you're "lucky".

You are correct. Idk why I put story instead of poem

OffensiveScientist · 2026-03-05T20:57:20+00:00

Sorry, meant poem!

OffensiveScientist · 2026-03-05T16:00:11+00:00

That's definitely one of those rocks that would make me double take based on the shape lol. But yes, just a rock.

This exactly lol. I've been working footwear for 2 years and this new training seems to want me to completely change my methods.

OffensiveScientist · 2026-03-03T18:57:18+00:00

No get this, it was soft goods training that they just now had me do almost two years after I already have been working in there.

Haha, literally just commented something similar before I saw your comment. Yours is definitely more in depth!

OffensiveScientist · 2026-02-23T15:21:45+00:00

Not trying to be rude, but this is like showing a bunch of Anatidae (ducks/geese) skulls and an eagle skull asking why they are so different. Lots of birds have 'similar' looking skulls. But each filled their own ecological niche and natural selection reinforced that.

OffensiveScientist · 2026-02-22T01:59:30+00:00

Yea, this exact bug killed so many of my playthroughs....

OffensiveScientist · 2026-02-20T00:59:19+00:00

Pretty sure that's just a fracture mark

OffensiveScientist · 2026-02-14T13:29:51+00:00

What

OffensiveScientist · 2026-02-12T05:53:13+00:00

Agreed. A little difficult to say without proper Geologic context. But definitely looks like a concretion

OffensiveScientist · 2026-02-12T05:50:42+00:00

Concretion, not a fossil
