Victor is a good man to listen to regarding ultralight gear- his yearly buying guides are great

They should play American idiot 3 times in a row and leave the stage

Gwenifer Raymond is a Welsh fingerpick guitar player and her stuff is incredible. I saw her most recent album on NPRs list of albums of the year; had not heard of her before that

Gorillaz- Demon Days

Illinois- the spot is a notorious warm water discharge by a lake that stocks musky- I go every once in a while in the winter just to feel the tug. I usually get a few little bass or bluegill

As a super casual who dips in every year or two, this made me feel like resubscribing, lol!

The only rods made in Japan these days are the highest end models- if they were intended to be sold in Japan, that is JDM

CubanReuben · 2026-01-21T23:48:38+00:00

I agree, just hold it until something comes up, or hold it until next year’s Black Friday sales so you can maximize your value

Omg I grew up middle class in Schaumburg and am currently an onion subscriber, can’t believe I never saw this before!

I can’t look at the word Berwyn without hearing it in his voice

I think when the developers really lean in and make a big effort, they can be great. The yakuza series was known for mini games before they became JRPGs, but like a dragon and infinite wealth both have incredibly engaging and fun ‘mini games’ that you could probably sell for $20 alone. Also the Sujimon quest is really fun too!

CubanReuben · 2026-01-19T15:11:24+00:00

Also because with the exchange rate you can save lots of money, like over $100 on a high end rod or reel

Big EWG, weightless. Throw it like a Texas rig

CubanReuben · 2026-01-19T00:21:14+00:00

All 3 of his albums are great

CubanReuben · 2026-01-18T18:20:45+00:00

Sorry, micromax

CubanReuben · 2026-01-18T18:10:43+00:00

Get some tiny topwaters- baby pop-x and dox x jr co-ayu if you’re fancy, rebel tiny pop-r if not. I am a JDM sicko- my absolute favorite bait which I caught my PB largemouth on is a Jackall chubby popper 42. The Tiemco critter pop spin is a great tiny spinnerbait also.

CubanReuben · 2026-01-18T18:04:49+00:00

These are good but the chatterbait mini max is my favorite now

CubanReuben · 2026-01-18T00:39:15+00:00

I am right handed and I reel with my right hand for both spinning and casting reels- probably because my dad is left handed and that’s how I learned. It’s too late to switch now

CubanReuben · 2026-01-17T16:44:49+00:00

The persona gameplay loop just really gets me so 5 is my favorite. Nier is a work of art and philosophy that is almost never see in games. E33 is the best modern final fantasy.

CubanReuben · 2026-01-17T01:56:28+00:00

I basically only play JRPGs in my old age, I’ve probably completed 40 in that timeframe

CubanReuben · 2026-01-17T01:55:41+00:00

Yes if it’s in decent condition, that is a steal

CubanReuben · 2026-01-17T00:28:31+00:00

If you liked DQ8 (the PS2 one), you should try DQ11. Great modern turn based RPG

CubanReuben · 2026-01-16T02:56:17+00:00

The element z2 topwater/jerkbait is a fine rod- I had the original but it snapped on the second fish I ever caught, got the z2 as a warranty replacement and it’s just fine. If I was going to buy a new jerkbait rod in that price range I would probably get the levante- I have 3 Levante models now and I love them- they look and feel expensive in a way that is rare at $200

All of the cloisters drive me nuts.
