8 months agoMy local muni used to have 3 courses. They closed 1 in 2019 and have left it open to the public as a park with no maintenance going into the greens. There are 5 miles of cart paths, now trails, and it connects to an adjacent park with an additional 2 miles of trails. The golf course is barely recognizable and it has been really cool to see it slowly getting reclaimed by nature. There are a significantly larger amount of birds, small mammals, and deer seen there than even just two years ago. I rarely take pictures there but here are a couple that do a decent job at showing how little it looks like a golf course anymore. Both pictures were taken this year.
Not too surprising. I would expect consoles to reflect the same player ratio. I really wanted to love Starfield but I never felt that ‘magic’ like I did with Skyrim and Fallout. There was a dude who encapsulated my feelings towards Skyrim perfectly: https://youtube.com/shorts/CJ7tsL47KRw?si=pdXaCAkc8ui8aPhI I could just stop and soak in the ambiance for so long. I am 13 years older and maybe that’s part of it but I never felt that draw with Starfield.
