  • Played for a few hours last night after playing apex legends for a while. I just game a few hours every few nights. The asthetic is indeed great and make it was pretty enjoyable. Gadgets were pretty cool and fun. I thought the gun play was so-so, especially after comming from apex and the myriad of attachments, scopes, and firearms. It will be interesting to see how the game evolves, apex is certainly fairly different than when it was first released. The objective based gameplay is really fun.





  • Interesting read. What differs majorly now from past collapses of civilization is the interconnection made possible with technology and the internet. Things will become less convenient, but there will probably always be someone to fill whatever void is created, baring a world wide disaster. But even then, with the technology available now, I struggle to envision a complete societal collapse. Will things change? Absolutely as it should. Is change uncomfortable ? Usually. Are we going to evolve into a Mad Max scenario? Time will tell. But I would hazard a guess of probably not.






  • Hiking out in the backcountry of the Rocky Mountains having headphones in would be extremely unsafe. A city or busy trail absolutely, headphones all the way. Bear and predator country, 50 miles from any major form of civilization, I still want to be aware of my surroundings. I’m hiking on trails where I see maybe 10 groups of people over 3 days, and half of them are at the alpine lake or water source, not even on the trail.







  • I have used flat and semi gloss water based poly on several dressers over 5 years ago. They have help up very well, no yellowing. I primarily use water based stains and everything turns out great. There is a slightly different technique then with oil based. Like “popping” the grain with a spritz of water and a light sanding to get rid of the “fuzz”. I believe the WoodWisperer has some really good videos on using water based finishes if memory serves correctly.
