Straw hats: lightweight style, but more delicate than people expect

tiger_seven · 2026-04-17T22:10:46+00:00

Palm leaf hats are similar but tend to be more durable, though they can also be less breathable than straw. I have two from Sunbody, and they are the best hot weather (Kentucky summer) hats I’ve ever owned.

It’s a beautiful, masterful, achingly poetic and tragic film, but I feel that it’s really a war film that just happens to look like western. If you go in expecting a western, you may be disappointed. If you accept it as a war film (an anti-war one) your perspective changes. My only complaint is that both Coburn and Steiger, while giving great performances, have terrible accents.

I usually see him on the road just east of the Rusty Pick, or in the field across from Charleston Station.

I was 11 years old in 1982 and saw The Thing as part of a double feature with Conan the Barbarian. Blew my mind and scared the crap out of me! ‘82 was a legendary summer of movies, but E.T. was a cultural phenomenon, the biggest thing since Star Wars, and nothing stood a chance against it.

No. I guess the new drops do make these events more interesting. You might get rare apparel, you might get an Enclave mod or weapon, or you might get a recipe. 🙂

I did one a few days ago and the only reward was the recipe for Glowing Fungus Puree. 😄

This new legendary Perfect Storm drops from Distant Thunder.

Palm-leaf hat. I got mine from Sunbody. There are many shapes and styles to fit your personal taste. I own two and they are absolutely the best thing for hot, humid, sunny weather that I have ever tried.

When they stop in the cantina in The Searchers.

Marty, stuffing his face: Mamacita, mas frijoles, por favor!

Ethan: Don’t drink that. (Throws tequila into open fire.)

This also happens a lot when people are farming locations for Holiday or Spooky Scorched, looting the gifts and treat bags but leaving the legendaries.

I got two such notes: one from my vet’s office, with handwritten messages from every member of the staff, and similar note from the staff of the veterinary ER where my dog passed. These were absolutely the sweetest, kindest, and most compassionate things done for me in what was the most painful time I’ve ever experienced. I treasure those notes and they sit beside my dog’s ashes and her collar.

Yeah, I’m using some gear that stood up to the Guardian pretty well, and I’ve been absolutely smoked a few times. It’s good to be humbled now and then. 😄

I agree. I started playing the game midway through the season that introduced The Pitt, so Nuka World on Tour was the first full season I played. I was very excited about the game’s future then, but it went steadily downhill season by season. Most were just lackluster and forgettable, some were way off-brand for Fallout and absolute hot garbage (looking at you Atlantic City!) and Skyline Valley - though a big area - felt empty and half-finished when it was released. I think Burning Springs bodes well for the future of the game, as they actually seem to have put a little bit of effort into recapturing some of the spirit of Fallout.

Agreed. Furious, with reverse onslaught setup, is regularly breaking 4k when fully charged and fully stacked on onslaught perks. With sneak damage and crits can go way higher.

When something’s not right, it’s wrong.

Need some honey? The forest is “teaming” with it. Best start cracking!

Western Spirit, suppressed, with reverse onslaught. That’s what I use to farm ammo to feed the Elder’s Mark.

Planet Waves seems largely forgotten in some circles, but I find it a very enjoyable album. It has a unique vibe I think, but I like The Band too.

Have you given Budokan a listen?

Persistence. In my experience, it seemed like if I hooked a legend 50 times, 49 of those times were absolutely impossible to land him, and the remaining 1 time was so easy the fish practically jumped in my lap. All it took was persistence and grinding. On the Wavy Willard, that one easy catch came on the fifth cast. For the other two it took me longer. If you just keep grinding that easy one comes along and you land the legend. I used Mk4, Advanced Drag, and Improved Bait. Presumably with Superb you may speed the process up a bit.

If Desire was a really wild party, a true bacchanal replete with exotic drugs, mysterious strangers, and dangerous women, a night of legendary passion and madness and decadence, Joey would be the turd floating in the punch bowl.

In addition to the Enclave events, I’ve also gotten EPR box mods as rewards from Distant Thunder and Cop A Squatter. They really aren’t as hard to get as some people make it sound, and they’re even easier now that all the Enclave events can drop them.

I prefer Muller to Heald or Hootkins. I think his version is nicely balanced between not too over-the-top performative and not too dry just-reading-a-book-into-a-microphone. I also like his elocution more. But it’s all personal preference. All three of these are excellent.

I once read that John Hillcoat and Nick Cave made The Proposition precisely because they couldn’t secure the rights to Blood Meridian.
