    Fair enough! I've often enjoyed driving games, but honestly haven't played them a ton in quite a few years. I always used to enjoy GT, Forza etc, but its been many years. Might have to give one a shot on PC one of these days. I enjoy checking out pics of other peoples gaming setups and am...

    Yeah I actually ordered a dock as well when I ordered her Steamdeck for this very reason. I figured she might enjoy just playing it on the TV. So far though she hasn't used it. I kinda thought the unit itself might be uncomfortable to play for extended periods, but that just doesn't seem to...

    That one has been on my radar since release. It's not one that instantly calls to me, but the reviews have all been good enough to make me think I should give it a shot at some point. Understandable. That sort of thing isn't for everyone. I think that may be part of why I haven't fully...

    I ended up picking one of these up for my wife for Xmas. She has always been the hardest person to shop for. She never spends money on herself, and really doesn't have much in the way of hobbies. Her Xmas list often ends up reading like a Walmart shopping list, just random needs. Anyway, this...

    I've been super interested in Avowed for quite a while now, but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger. Something about the reviews just puts me on edge. I'm sure I'll give it a try at one point though. On paper that game has a lot that I should enjoy. Anyone spent any time with Kingdom Come...

    I always avoided Souls like games for many years. I was never super into overly "difficult" stuff when I was younger, so never saw the appeal. Then Elden Ring released, and holy shit did I enjoy that game. That lead me to picking up Bloodbourne and giving that a go, and that game is simply...

    Fun thread. Cool to see so many gamers with varied interests. It's funny, but at 46 years old the two constant interests in my life are fishing and video games and I've done both about as long. Spent the bulk of my life as a console guy but in the last couple of years made the deep dive...

    Top fly rod fish

    I think we need to get Evan and some of the other techy folks here to develop an @Cabezon app. I can picture it now....I find some unknown to me sea creature offshore. I look towards my phone and instead of saying "Hey Siri....." I just say "Hey Cabezon, what is this?". Game changer.

    A bow shot albacore would be pretty impressive, but why stop there? This summer I'm going for more challenging prey with my bow! https://www.facebook.com/share/r/15CCd9got4/

    Queets open to Steelhead fishing until end of March 2025?

    We backpacked on the upper Queets a few times as a kid. What a special place. One very distinct memory I have from that period was a trip with my old man and my cousin. I had to have been 14ish. We did a 10 day trip and one of the spots we camped was very near this deep, slow moving hole...

    2025 Tuna and Exotics

    Growing up I typically had 3 rods. A trout rod, a steelhead rod, and a salmon rod. The concept of having specialty gear was quite foreign in my poor household. Anyway, my salmon rod for the bulk of my youth was a yellow Eagle Claw rod with a Penn....I dunno, 209 maybe. Caught an awful lot...

    Best Weather Forecast site? Your favorite?

    I'm only ever concerned with wind and water conditions in regards to weather, but I use Noaa pinpoint, Windy, and recently to a lesser degree, Windfinder. Where I work on the ocean at least it seems like Windy has been very hit or miss the last few years. For a while it was quite reliable, but...

    God that was funny One thing I appreciate about Jason is he has the best attitude every time he's on the water. I've seen him lose a fair number of fish at this point, and all he ever does is laugh and say something like "That was fun" and go after another. Love it. Some people get pretty...

    Seattle Orvis Store Closing

    I'm a big, big fan of Orvis products but I've never stepped foot in one of their stores. Mostly for me it was just a matter of living in areas where I am not near one. The chances of me heading to the city to buy something are slim to none. The Helios 3D is my favorite 6 wt I've ever used...

    If I remember right, the alberto is 7 wraps down, then 7 wraps back up and through the original loop then tight? The RP is similar, but it's 5 wraps down, 5 wraps up, then the tag end is wrapped through and around the original loop twice before pulled tight. The actual Albright is somewhere...

    FG is a cool knot. I've done it a few times but can't say I know it too well. Alberto is good too. My go to for braid/mono type connections is what I've always called the RP knot. Very similar to the Alberto. I use it on heavier stuff too. Works great for backing/fly line, and I use it...
