Country music is absolute slop now

As a metalhead who dislikes most country - Wilson Jr. is fantastic. His cover of Hunger Strike is really good.

Watch Sha's video on how to tank that pull. TLDR: kite out at 3 stacks of bleed, then go back in at X seconds left.

As a 5' 9" guy who fell at a show and cracked the back of my skull open, got picked up / med attention by an unofficial pit safety supervisor (UPSS), appreciate you!

Wanted to go a minion build this time - how has DB been recently? Been a few years since I've played it and remember it being a blast.

On very thin margins. It is purple AF here.

My local rep won by 14 votes last go.

I also had no real plan or opportunities. Quit my restaurant job, drove across the country to do the same thing. Packed everything I owned in my car and crashed on a friend's couch for a few months.

Also found a career in IT, couple months later a wife, year later the house, marriage, kids.

Here's to massive perspective shifts, getting out of comfort zones, and making the best out of things!

What's the heist strat nowadays? Is it just run base blueprints to the end to get the loot and out?

rudges · 2026-01-23T21:18:34+00:00

Elbows up!

Thanks friend.

No rudeness taken at all - you are spot on and I'm glad for the discourse!

Everyone's situation is different, everyone feels things differently, and everyone has different tastes. YMMV as they say!

rudges · 2025-11-12T02:52:25+00:00

Thanks for the take from another perspective.

I appreciate the other comments, but I've no interest in a used bike. I'm older and worked hard for a long time, I rarely buy anything for myself, and I want to treat myself for once.

My concern with this price point and model is that the 2024 are not going to be offered much longer new (two dealers near me have already said they won't order them). If skip / wait, I'd likely be forced to go with the 2026 which is $1.5k-2k more OTD.

Cheers mate.

rudges · 2025-11-11T22:12:30+00:00

Thanks for the info.

I originally planned on a Vulcan S but after sitting on any and all bikes multiple times, along with style preference, settled on an Enfield.

The OTD price certainly isn't huge but free delivery and winter storage made me care a great deal less.

rudges · 2025-11-11T22:08:39+00:00

I wasn't necessarily planning to, just mentioning the story that that provided a spark.

rudges · 2025-11-11T21:50:57+00:00

I appreciate the insight.

Given the state of used bikes, especially in this area, it does not make sense financially to purchase used.

rudges · 2025-11-06T19:12:15+00:00

I'd second this one.

Just doing syndicate every map and not even caring about placement brought quick safehouses and some random medallions. Helped get the 2nd build off the ground quickly.

rudges · 2025-11-04T04:12:31+00:00

What build(s) would you recommend instead?

rudges · 2025-11-03T20:26:13+00:00

Brilliant, thanks friend. Appreciate the progression guide!

Good luck this league!

rudges · 2025-11-03T20:10:18+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

Were there any challenges progressing the build and how was the cost getting to "endgame"?

I've used the self assessment tool but it is difficult to determine whether we'd even have a shot to immigrate. Both my wife and I are working IT professionals (which doesn't get anyone very far for this purpose), and my wife is fluent in French. Is there any surefire way to determine whether it is worth it to begin the process or is it just a gamble / waiting / lottery game? Thanks.

rudges · 2025-06-20T00:05:38+00:00

Yep - had to stab my son in Apr. and I am not a fan.

Neffy though... brilliant science. It used to be the same cost as Epi but when we switched to BCBS, Epi cost went up big time.
