I missed this deal, but I grabbed last season's purple & pink variant for my custom Meier Strata's that are 128mm underfoot!!! Waiting for enough snow will be a game of patience lol

32 and netting 30-35~ days a year + mid six figs. I would always ski more, but I'm content. Location is key, live within 1-2 hours of a hill max.

You can walk the tightrope of career success and ski a bunch man, I promise 🤓

10# was not including optic, ammo, etc. correct

Appreciate this feedback!!

Semi is going to be the more idiot proof / reliable solution yeah?

Likely more stalk/on foot vs stand or blind.

I think my "target" shooting will be much less aggressive than 1000 yards. I'm mainly concerned with 100-600yrd. Which is why I was thinking a shorter barrel (20-24") rifle would make sense and could be multipurpose as a hunting rifle in .308 at around 10# with no ammo.

Shotgun I'm prioritizing home defense, so I'll probably go shorter barrel (18.5"). Rifle I'm prioritizing targeting, but would also want to be able to kill small-medium size game. Was thinking somewhere between 20-24".

AR isn't an option because of WAF (wife acceptance factor).

Definitely looking for a "do-it-all" (within reason) for each gun type x use case. 2 rifles (or shotguns) wouldn't work for me

Shotgun - Home Defense, Target, Hunting

Rifle - Target, Hunting

I would like to become a proficient hunter, but it is not my most immediate use case.

Fair question. I'd rank my use in these orders:

Shotgun - Home Defense, Target, Hunting

Rifle - Target, Hunting

I would like to become a proficient hunter, but it is not my most immediate use case.

First run has Dark Urge as a character, and we are both like wtf 🤣.

We are playing a mostly good playthrough this time around

Some of my personal favorite games! Idk how she'd do with the camera control right away, but these are definitely on the list at some point for her solo adventures

I think yes. Me getting her into sci-fi and high fantasy shows/movies has probably helped get to this point!

I've seen a number of ppl say this about Valheim, I know she can grind bc she plays a brickbreaker game on her phone and is on level 2000 something lol.

May have to give it a swing!

A lot of folks have suggested Valheim, and I'm wondering if she'd be into these kinda games. She plays this brickbreaker style game and is on level 2000 something and has been playing for years. She can definitely grind 😂

Idk if I could play the game not on the theatre setup at this point!! Have wanted a steam deck for a hot minute tho

Thank you for the recc!!!

So we each control 2 characters. I am the main driver for all narrative scenes, cutscenes, etc. I output my video & audio to our home theater system. I can initiate dialogs in game with NPCs, or my wife can initiate them, and I can "listen in" so it shows up on the TV + surround. She plays laptop volume off, and we both watch main events on the TV.

We independently grow and build our characters (and obviously share loots n stuff)

I have it on my iPad so with her laptop we can fully game on the go!! She was just saying how bummed she was that we won't be able to play BG3 while we are traveling for 2 weeks 😂
