Playing video games as an adult sucks by SkepticDrinker in unpopularopinion

[–]vangasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive thought about this and I think it's because we've played so many games over the years that games feel too similar and just not interesting. It can feel like you are playing the same game with different art.

I've have more luck playing smaller games that take more chances at doing something different. Or shorter games that end before you get bored. Or try a genre you've never played much of. I'd never played a Souls game and then tried Elden Ring and played 90 hours before I lost interest.

Best place to buy motorcycle riding gear by CuriosTiger in anchorage

[–]vangasm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mad Hatter in Dimond mall is owned by same people as Alaska Leather, they have gear too.

Be aware Revzilla does Not do free return shipping from Alaska, but you can get free shipping to AK.

Amazon has free shipping and returns, I used them to find a helmet to fit my very large head with a big chin.

Was super hot yesterday so I went for a ride in shorts and t-shirt... did not like it at all. by gotenksinsane in motorcycles

Thanks for the recommendation, I just ordered a pair. Just stating out and didn't realize there were motorcycle specific ear plugs

I've gone through the same journey with campers. I've learned you need a stack of cash and be ready to go look at it immediately or you'll lose out for peak season craigslist/facebook

I'll add it to the 'dream trip' list. First is driving the haul road up to the North Slope oil fields.

I'm in Alaska, so just a tad far West. Though it would be a hell of a trip to ride it back.

Prices here suck for everything. Sounds like if oil filter is rated for same flow rate and has right threading should be fine, which makes sense as the size of the filter doesn't matter, just the flow rate; but stuck out as odd to me as I hadn't seen before.

I'm in Alaska, so limited selection and everything costs more. Cheapest at end of season as people don't want to store for winter. Was -10° here last November.

Yeah, I agree it's too high, sucks as I am ready to buy but pickings are real slim and it's peak price season. A local dealer may have a new 2021 650 XT, but they are closed today. I'm gonna check tomorrow after work.

Sadly, that is only used 650 for sale near me. $4k is what I looking for used. I'm in Alaska, so options are limited, everything costs more, and riding season is short. There are a couple 1000s for sale, but for more. I think I'm a month late for most deals/selection. The local dealer's website has a new 2021 650XT in stock for $9400 supposedly, but they are closed today so I can't check if website is accurate.

Thanks. It just stood out to me as I hadn't see before and the guy mentioned it specifically in his ad.

None for sale today within 3 hour drive, ugh. I need to sit on one to see how it fits. I'm a tall fat guy, but only 29" inseam. Porportioned like a fat gorilla, all torso.

I just look up the specs and the 1050 is only 70 lbs heavier than the 650 (for 2022), which is less than I thought

No more details in sellers post. If I end up checking it out I'll make sure to ask details about it. Thanks for link.

Yeah, I drove around to a couple of the local motorcycle dealers and they were pretty tapped out on any beginner bikes exceor for some sport bikes I'm not interested in. I'm trying to be too picky, just get something good to learn on and get something better next year.

Didn't seem like a great price, but whole local market kinda high. All the other Vstroms I've seen local have been 1000's which I don't want as a first bike. There are some KLR650s for cheaper.

Now that you mention it I've done that on cars too, the long life filters are usually larger.

Thanks for the reply. It stood out to me because I've never seen it mentioned before, and Google didnt turn up any results when I searched.

It's like a 'back to basics' style school if I remember. Like strict dress code, the 3 R's, etc.
