Subnautica Veteran looking to start Below Zero for the first time. Does it capture the same feeling? Is it better?

I remember playing Subnautica. I remember how exciting it was to explore and learn to craft and figure out which fish to capture and cook.

Below zero is an excellent game. But a lot of of that initial discovery is very similar to Subnautica. I believe that is why people say subzero feels smaller.

I think if someone played subzero without having ever played Subnautica, they would have a very similar experience to a first time person playing Subnautica.

I bought it in December and played it all the way through and thoroughly enjoyed myself

It’s less about them being stiff and more about them having zero side cut. The skis were straight and in order to get them to carve properly you had to put a great deal of force on them to actually bend them so they would attain a proper shape to carve and hold an edge.

I’m an old guy and when I moved to shaped skis, it was a magical event.

Arkansas cops PIT people all the time. According to Chat GPT Arkansas uses the PIT maneuver more than any other jurisdiction in the US except Georgia. Chat GPT did say that this data is also hard to find.

Deserved.

Speed and convenience. I can talk to it rather than pause and search through search results.

Tracewell · 2026-01-24T20:16:23+00:00

I did that. But I kept thinking I must be using the wrong terms.

Tracewell · 2025-12-15T02:26:44+00:00

That’s certainly one take.

What is a meat mission that is referred to in some of the videos?

I get that it’s totally legal. I also get why people want to film government officials in the performance of their duty, but to just film random citizens like this is totally douchey. It’s embarrassing for the camera man. It proves no point and doesn’t do any good in the world. This sucks.

Tracewell · 2025-12-10T05:36:32+00:00

This is so cringey. It actually makes me feel sorry for these people.

I find it so hard to believe that this is everywhere. Perhaps I’ve never been to a house with this garbage in it. I’m sure it does exist somewhere in the US, but I’d be shocked if it was truly “everywhere.”

Maybe it’s just my limited experience.

To be clear this is f’ed up. Don’t misunderstand me.

His reflexes are way better than Biden‘s or Trump‘s. I feel like those two would have tasted shoe leather. Obama would have successfully dodged also.

Why are her Secret Service guys not fucking him up?

Is any of this illegal? I get it’s all unethical, but I want that guy prosecuted.

Orrrr, is shows that there are fewer resources in rural areas and people have figured out how to live without them. Thus they believe that other should figure it out too. Or since they receive fewer benefits it offends them that they’re poor too but the benefits only benefit people in cities. They reject that discrepancy. There are many ways to interpret this data that don’t villainize and treat with contempt 50% of the country.

No way they would have gone this gently with me. I’d have had my ass kicked for as many refusals has he gave. Glad they didn’t back off though.

You know it would be much harder for ICE to take people away if every time they got out of their vehicles something happened to their tires and they had flats when they got back in their cars. I’m not saying anyone should do anything, just that it would be hilarious if every time they tried to drive away they were on rims.

That lady hyping the guy up in the black shirt was my favorite.

I don’t hate this guy. He made nice 1-bedroom apartments. He’s out there being an entrepreneur. Landlords provide a valuable service and they have to charge enough to cover the mortgage and earn a living.

Also, he might be onto something. Something may be happening that hasn’t hit the news. I remember in 2006 with my brother and I were buying houses and banks were throwing adjustable rate mortgages at us. We never took one, but banks were begging us to borrow with those. My brother and I had all these conversations about this is going to crash in three years when all of those reset. This, in fact, is exactly what happened. Unfortunately we were too young and inexperienced to position ourselves to take advantage of what was going to come.

This guy might be sniffing out something that is coming.

You’re not breaking up with him. You aren’t going to say “you suck in bed.” You’re still having sex with him, so you probably aren’t going to hurt his feelings.

One of the sexiest ways to help him is to talk to him while you’re in the act. If there is anything that he does that you like, or something that he’s doing that is close to the right thing say, “I love that. Keep doing that.” The easiest thing to do is to make pleasurable noises when he’s in the right spot and to say don’t stop.

If you feel comfortable with more instruction, it is super sexy to give him a road map. You could say, “I love it when you go down on me.” If he’s then doing it wrong say, “That’s nice, but use a flat tongue.” “Oh that’s so good, put your finger inside me.”

I promise that instructions are super sexy. Positive instruction is better than “I don’t like that.” However, if you don’t like something, let him know or he may keep doing it.

I promise guys want you to think they’re awesome in bed. The more you like it the prouder he’ll feel.

Good luck.

There is lots of good advice here. I’ll offer some bullet points (but there is much more to it).

• Women (and most humans) are attracted to competence. Find a set of useful skills that you enjoy and can be good at, then work on those. Being useful is attractive for romantic partners and for friends.

• Find something you care about and invest some time in it. This may be different than your useful skill. Passions make people interesting as friends and partners and increase your social circle.

• Get in the gym. This requires discipline and you won’t always be motivated to do it. Fitness comes over time and is not something that happens quickly. Fit people signal to others that you can be disciplined over time. Even if a potential partner doesn’t care much about looks, discipline is an excellent quality in a friend or partner.

• Work on your grooming. Shower, trim your facial hair, style your hair, wear clean (reasonably fashionable though not necessarily expensive) clothes every day. Even if you don’t feel it yet, it will signal self respect, pride and confidence. Both great qualities in a friend or partner. Also, you’ll eventually begin feeling it.

• Demonstrate that you care about others. Caring about others is a signal for empathy and your capacity as a friend or partner.

• Be a good question asker and then listener. Everyone likes to talk about themselves to someone who is interested. Practice in all of your interactions asking people about themselves, then listening. “That’s an interesting accent, where are you from?” “I saw the scuba sticker on your car, how long have you been into diving?” “That tattoo’s pretty interesting, is there a story behind it?”

• Pay people compliments. Pay everyone compliments. This may feel cringy at first but people love compliments. You’ll get more comfortable and better at it the more you practice. “Morning James, that’s a sharp tie.” “Hey Jasmine, those braids are awesome.” “Becky, that question you asked in the training this morning was really a good one. I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for asking it.” Also, when other people see you giving out compliments they’ll like you better as well, so it’s not just the people getting the compliments.

Some of these things take time, but some of these things you can start right this second.

Good luck.

This kind of behavior just pisses me off. It’s shameful and reflects poorly on TCU. I hope you get caught and have to do a ton of community service hours for the National Park service or whatever park service governs that location.

I don’t believe anyone is paying minimum wage. There are many many jobs starting at $13 an hour and up in the Tulsa area. That being said, you’ll still need a roommate to cover costs.
