Perhaps it’s not actually a trend, but I feel like I’m seeing tons of YouTubers holding microphones that should clearly be mounted on a stand or at least on a desk - and it drives me crazy. It’s not like holding it makes it sound better than mounting it! Just invest in a mic stand!

That's apparently a new style of presentation oftentimes done purposefully to give a more 'real' or 'authentic' view of the presenter due to appearing as a less polished production.
Thank you for this video! Definitely going to give it a watch.
I try not to let my distaste for microphone holding turn me off of every new (to me) YouTuber I discover that does it but it definitely hangs around in the back of my head when I watch them.
The only one who doesn’t bother me is Josh Strife Hayes who puts it in a mug which I think seems at least mildly subversive
Yeah, Snowrunner is arguably a mil-sim based on how often shit gets stuck in mud in war lol
TLDW?
TLDW: Foxhole allows the environment to change in ways other games don't (snow causing direct death, visibility problems, rain causing mud which slows units down etc. ), and also providing options for dealing with these environmental concerns, gives off a realistic war feeling. This in combination with the fact that foxhole allows and requires players to participate in all aspects of fighting a war (material extraction, weapon manufacturing, transport manufacturing, transportation, building of defenses, actual fighting), help provide a feeling of participating in a war that other milsims don't show.
Admittedly, I feel like this game doesn't satisfy what people are looking for in a milsim. Foxhole is a top down shooter, while most milsims are over the shoulder 3rd person or 1st person with a huge focus on tactics and execution. Foxhole seems to pull out a bit more, still allowing tactics planning and execution, but overal strategy and logistics are also added into the game.
I know I definitely would have been more interested in Foxhole if it was first person, but maybe I'm missing out.

That actually seems like a plus to me, but I'm weird. Thanks for the breakdown.
If that's weird, then I don't wanna be normal!
*hasn't played Foxhole... yet...*
Great game foxhole, but unfortunately I feel like I need friends to play with or i get bored
Yeah he's just talking about mud having an actual effect. Though right now mud in foxhole is just "avoid the puddles", it used to be that you'd get muddy almost everywhere so it's way less painful since the weather rework. Weather doesn't happen very often though, the worst storm I can remember was a snowstorm that covered maybe 6 hexes for most of a week and most storms are either very light or only last a day or two
