I have a Tilley hat already! Love it and it's lasting really well. I didn't know they did other stuff.

 

So I'm sick of supporting fast fashion and could really use some new clothes, especially jeans. I was inspired by the work wear post earlier however I think all the recommendations were US based which aren't that useful for me in the UK. Any suggestions for brands or shops where I can get something which will last? I don't mind paying significantly more for good quality if it's actually good and not just a brand logo.

EDIT: Thanks for all the suggestions everyone I'll have a good look at these.

This is a great list. A couple to add: Necromunda is an FPS which plays like Titanfall 2 in 40k, so excellent moment to moment gameplay, some really cool levels and set pieces highly recommended. The proper old school Fire Warrior which is an FPS I played probably 15 years ago no idea if it holds up today. If you have VR Battle Sister was pretty fun nothing special but holding and using a bolt gun up close was awesome.

The Kurzgesagt video about this is really, definitely worth a watch.

My guess is detail and economy of scale. Airsoft guns commonly use the design of a really world gun either licensed or legally distanced so can be very close to reality in looks. Airsoft is also quite a popular hobby so many manufacturers are involved. You are also looking at an M4 variant which is the single most popular Airsoft gun in the world. There are literally hundreds of variants running from cheap manual springs to high pressure air tanks and costing thousands. Prop guns are more niche, they are detail orientated and don't need to function the same way. Maybe they make a pop and eject a case from the side of the gun which is more complex to do mechanically than send a little plastic bb out the barrel. There are less people buying each type of prop gun though so it will cost comparably more per item even if it technically doesn't do as much.

I think your comment is more well thought out than the article. Very nicely written.

I'm sure your dad knew you loved them and would be happy you still remember them this fondly.

Well done! Try to keep at it for another month, a habit takes 3 months to set in. If you can manage for another month then you'll likely continue doing it which will be great for your long term health.

I had so much fun with the first Kerbal game. One of my big achievements in gaming is an orbital docking. Nothing like doing actual rocket science to make you feel good. I hope NASA doesn't get a rocket into orbit and realise they forgot their solar panels, battery or parachutes. Thank god for save files.

Depends on the crowd you're out with but it is nice to see the younger generations drinking less. Got to be healthier for them.

Technical definition Drug- a substance which has an effect on the body. Ie literally everything you ingest.

Common parlance - a thing you take which has a medical or recreational effect. Ie paracetamol or weed.

Smoking (a drug) and alcohol (a drug) are common enough that they don't count as drugs to most people so medics will usually ask smoking alcohol and drugs as 3 separate questions to cover all bases.

Socially acceptable drugs that are very common (tobacco and alcohol) Vs illicit drugs is usually the distinction being made, at least in the UK.

Does it get better? I watched the first 1 or two episodes but stopped because the first real decision the young black female hero makes for herself is to join up with a gang of criminals which felt really problematic to me.

 

So I've just started a game of Wildsea (green apocalypse happens and now everyone lives on top of a sea of trees and sales in chainsaw ships).

I'm running my players through the intro module to search for a library ship then going to let them have at the world.

Probably going to give them a few options for direction: Foxloft - where every ecological niche is filled with foxes. Dragons Reach - as above but with plant dragons and lots of lizards. (Got the field guide to floral dragons and it just fits so well with Wildsea). The Gau (mushroom people) lands.

Wildsea is very player driven so I'm not sure what my players are going to be interested in yet as we're only 1 session into this game, they have picked a ship for exploring though so probably plenty of travel.

Anyone else run Wildsea? Any favourite locations or themes to include in an exploration game?
