  • The inflatable ones are more portable in terms of size than the mats or the self-inflating ones but all 3 have their disadvantages.

    Foam isn’t all the comfortable and they are bulky and hard to deal with in brush. Some are decent insulation, but most aren’t great. Most are the cheapest.

    Self-inflating is more comfortable and insulating than foam, but they are often bulky and can be punctured. Some of them can still be used if they get a puncture and are just shitty foam, but that isn’t the norm. The more modern ones can pack down small, but still bigger than inflatables. You can adjust the pressure for comfort, but it isn’t super easy to adjust.

    Inflatable packs down tiny and you can adjust pressure to adjust for comfort quickly, puncture is obviously a huge concern. They insulate really well and some are very insulating. These tend to be in the most expensive.







  • If the picture is the actual thing, it doesn’t have the detonator and fuse. You could throw it in a fire and not have a problem. You could hit it with a hammer and not have a problem. If you threw it in a fire and hit it with a hammer, you would ruin your whole day.

    Most likely it has been fully demilled and is just a grenade shaped object that only is a threat if it is thrown at you or dropped on your naked toes.

    If you aren’t certain an explosive device is inert, don’t pick it up and clear out anybody while you wait for an adult with gallows humor to clear it. How far you need to un-ass from the area depends on the size. A grenade? 100m. Anything else, the harder it would be to fit it in your ass, the further you need to GTFO.





  • They are making movies to cater to a zeitgeist curated by a vocal minority via censorship, harassment, and emotional manipulation.

    If they stayed true to the source material for live action or CGI remake, they would do fine. What they have been making is live action reimagining through a minority contempory lens that alienates the majority of their fanbase.

    The worst part of their new direction is the pandering. Don’t just make an established character that was white a minority or alter the story to conform to some new philosophy, that is just lazy and everybody sees it. They need to come up with new stories with new new characters from a marginalized minority, like Moana or Lilo and Stitch. Nobody will honestly care about seeing a world through a minority charactersls view. Viewers didn’t care with Pocahontas or Mulan because they were an honest attempt at making an origional and good movie that happens to feature an American minority.

    Don’t make Cinderella black, make an original story about a black character like Black Panther. Don’t make an empowered feminist, make an empowered feminist and tell her origional story like Mulan. Tell us new stories and make them appealing because they are interesting.

    Also don’t beat a dead horse with a sequel that can never be as good as the first one because their story is told and trying to capitalize with “but wait, there’s more” after the book is closed.

    They are going after low-hanging fruit one person asked for and wonder why few are satisfied.





  • Nearly beat it, not a great game 5/10.

    The environments are nice and fun to explore.

    Story is mediocre. Dialog is tiresome, I started button spamming to get through a lot of the conversations that didn’t matter. Combat is nothing remarkable, no matter the weapon combos, and the enemies are just damage sponges with no real tactics necessary to defeat a given enemy. Magic is kind of cool but you have to really spec into mage to get there. The immersion is about as deep as a puddle on flat concrete.

    It is one of the games of all time, a game you could not play and miss out on nothing.

    Edit: Just beat it, terrible ending that feels like it was tacked on last minute to provide some sort of conclusion.
