I’m ded. Although my big trick lately is just adding 3x to whatever I think, and it works pretty well

Away down South in the land of traitors…

I’m married sixteen years and super happy. I guess it just depends on who you marry

I’m in the middle of my first AB playthrough. I’m currently trying to figure out yellow science and it’s like like I’m living in a dream world trying to juggle all these fluids. I almost need to start over I’ve got such a crazy spaghetti mess with all these fluids and minerals

This game is so good, and the mods make it even better

Yep, other than ending up at Reddit because I’m searching for something, which I’ll call passive use. My active use of posting and commenting is entirely on Lemmy

I checked this album out, and man that song “Sunset” has been stuck in my head for two days now. It absolutely slaps. Thanks for writing this up, I’m absolutely loving some of her music. Some feels yeah a little bland, but some of it is absolutely electric.

Here’s a list of dope stuff you could get into

Yep, the Shows 282, I got the lined ones.

No real special gear. I did get the umbrella clips to be able to hands free it. That was pretty great, however I will say it felt like every time it rained the umbrella was getting scratched by branches in narrow corridors. Maybe the rain made the leaves heavy enough to sag down into the path. I still bring the umbrella, but I always plan for a sudden rip or tear (both to repair, and to do without if the repair isn’t possible). I’m curious about a rain poncho, I could definitely see trying one for future hikes. I carried the Garage Grown Gear rain pants and jacket in Feb and I’m pretty sure I only used them a few times. If I wasn’t hiking I was getting into my 30F quilt and my 10F reactor liner. I also used a NeoAir XLite with the 5.4 R-value because it was pretty chilly. I think the coldest night we had was 8F and really windy. A lot of nights around freezing in Feb and mid March. Most days were quite a bit warmer than freezing.

My wife and I used a triplex and had only a tad of issues finding a place to set it up. Mostly we’d plan to do like 3 miles less than we wanted and would often end up getting those extra few miles as we’d keep looking for a good spot. That usually worked out fine.

Absolutely incredible post. I agree with a lot of this, and it fills in some great details about difference regions I’ve not gotten to visit.

I did the southern half of the AT last winter, and I used an umbrella, rain jacket, rain pants, and these lightweight rubbery fishing gauntlets from Japan. They are lined with a synthetic wool material and are fully waterproof. All in I was very comfortable.

I played it through recently and enjoyed it. There are some bugs, but I really got lost in the world and the music.

Yeah the content isn’t quite as niche yet, but I way prefer it

Good find. Honestly though I’m just glad to be on Lemmy, knowing if absolutely all else fails I’ll just host my own server and listen into the fediverse. Can’t stop the signal

I used to make maps by hand. Over time I got better and better at holding on to where I was. I’ve read studies that playing 3d games increases spacial awareness, so it might get better over time.

Other options I do when I’m too meh to bother is mods to add maps and quest tracking if the game doesn’t already have it

In Middle-earth’s realm, where tales unfold,

Gordon Ramsay, bold and brash, strolled.

To Gollum’s dark cave, he ventured, keen,

Seeking a meal, not raw fish, but beans, pristine.

But Gollum, his eyes gleaming, offered his fare,

Slippery fish, the stench filling the air.

Yet Ramsay’s demand remained, unwavering, it seems,

“I want beans, not this rubbish,” he yelled and he screamed.

In the Shire’s golden meadows, where sunbeams dance,

Tom Bombadil’s song of beans, a joyful romance.

With merry laughter, he sings of their delight,

Their tender skins, their flavors, both day and night.

From pinto to navy, kidney to black,

Beans, his true love, a hearty snack.

In Tom’s jolly heart, their magic is seen,

For nothing quite matches his love for beans.

“I was there when the beans happened”

Yeah lots of bean action happening
