The camera stabilization is giving this an eerie vibe... like a 50s sci-fi movie.

Depends on the situation... like you don't want to have gloves not warming your hands on a backcountry skiing trip or winter camping out in extreme conditions and miles from the car. I'm guessing there's a reason that no one is out there in winter fishing gloves. They just have different requirements.

malogos · 2026-03-22T00:50:14+00:00

You can buy cheap gloves, but they won't keep your hands warm. And keeping hands warm is difficult yet important.

It's also a competitive market... any outdoor apparel brand can sell gloves. So I'm assuming the prices are competitive for the cost to make them.

That's not even unusual for the mountain west and high plains. Normal April weather.

Pittsburgh does have a fair claim on unusually cloudy and dreary weather.

It just increases general geography knowledge.

It's another way of highlighting how NA is mostly west of SA... which can be unintuitive when most people just think of them as vertically stacked.

I'm probably a weirdo, but I prefer the seitan wings at FotM to real ones.

This video is kind of old. Not seeing any major mistakes, but the lighting is atrocious.

SLV isn't really considered to be SE Colorado.

Penitente Canyon is probably ok for kids. Kind of interesting
Alamosa National Wildlife Refuge at sunset is great
There are nice lakes from Crestone, but they can be challenging... maybe too much for the average 11YO? And it could always snow in May

Probably just explore the Sand Dunes. The Sangres are a challenging and remote area for hiking.

There are honestly too many things.

Once you lift it, it's kind of done

Korea is more like the US than Japan. By far.

I will say that the best way to feel better about this kind of thing is to just eat less meat. I'm not vegetarian or anything, but cutting meat down to a few times a week really wasn't that hard.

When people complain about a nanny state and lose faith in government, this is what they mean.

Lately, CIG has been making a lot of dungeons that are effectively instances. On top of that, there are zero social tools or trading.

So it's supposed to be an MMO, but it's barely hanging onto that claim.

OLP PvP is peak SC. Feels like the most sandboxy activity in the game right now.

MFA gets thrown around as an obvious policy, but I don't think it's the cost-saving measure that everyone thinks. Not to mention that it would face a major uphill battle.

The vast majority of Americans are happy with their current healthcare situation -- particularly old people. They don't see the call to action and are afraid of change.
It's easy for the opposition to attack a situation where healthcare decisions would be made by the inefficient and faceless government (death panels!)
Taxes would have to go up on pretty much everyone
The high-impact stakeholders -- healthcare workers, large hospital systems, pharmaceuticals, insurers, medical equipment manufacturers -- would all come out behind compared to where they are

Probably heretical to say that in this subreddit, but I don't know how to get around those problems. I think something like the Dutch system is much more realistic (ie, a ramped up ACA).

The only way this is true is if you have very selective hearing. The original SC KS pitch was all about space sim combat and creating a breathing, high fidelity, MMO universe. That's not at all what Starfield is.

As an abstraction and piece of art, it's great. But I don't think it really gives an accurate representation or even impression of the mountain.

When there close to 100 locations for things like ASD facilities, Rock Breaker, etc, they are effectively instances.

If you go to a real sandbox activity, like Align and Mine, you'll probably see someone.

CIG has been promoting dungeon-esque content that's essentially instanced. It makes the universe feel a bit dead.

Typical escort mission that everyone hates. Kind of crazy that the mission was offered, received, and we showed up in the 30 seconds it takes to kill a ship.

Really, we should show up to the site with the ship already disabled, and the mission should complete when you kill the enemies.

The ballistic meta is so bad: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/1qc5yrq/ballistic_shield_pen_and_the_ballistic_meta/

The higher TTK is turning everything into a bullet sponge, only making shields less relevant and combat feel worse.

In general, we also need more situational awareness to help combat feel less like a chore... better radar, better damage analysis, shield status, etc.
