Excursion 4 or 5 or mariner 4?

Ive been using my excursion 4 for about 3 years now or so. Wife and i use it for fishing here in northern Minnesota, specifically in small pits or ponds that most boats can't go.

That being said, I was wondering if I should get the 5 for more room or the mariner 4 for more durability? We had 2 other brands of inflatables and they had small holes that got patched, this excursion 4 I dont think we had any yet.

My main concerns are, weight and seating.

I have a bad back and sitting on the floor of the excursion 4 with the seat is actually quite comfortable for me. The floor isn't great for standing in but we dont usually stand up except to get out. I see the mariner 4 had a rigid floor which, not so sure it would be comfortable to sit on, maybe take the excursion seats for it?

Second is weight. I think our excursion 4 is 50lbs or so, feels very light, I heard the mariner 4 is 80 to 100! For the bad back reasons, makes me a bit nervous.

Lastly, ease of travel. Our excursion 4 we just toss on the back of our jeep compass and pump it up at a lake. Easy as pie. Same for the mariner 4? Also, we have a 55lb thrust trolling motor. It does ok on ours now, seems to push it pretty good but it almost seems like it will come off if we crank it up to full speed. I hear the mariner 4 is better with a motor, more stable and faster as it has the keel and sits higher in the water, accurate?

Any other advice would be appreciated since its a metter of $200 to go from excursion to mariner.

Headset decision for Xbox

So ive been using gaming headsets for well over 20 years but I've always used them for pc and Playstation. My daughter (turning 17) is an Xbox player.

I want to het her a new headset for her day this month as her brother hand me down ones are broke and garbage. I did get her some 2 years ago that I found on dake at best buy that I saw ratings were good but, she says the microphone is really bad.

My budget is roughly 150 for her. I was almost ready to get a $250 dollar pair but...she's reckless with them. Ive heard nerd raging gaming sessions that would rival any gen z sweaty dude.

I dont play Xbox so I know its a little different over there.

Main things for her, id say

-mic clarity

-durable

-Good sound for almost exclusively fps games like rs6 and cod

Any advice would be helpful. Im going to exclusively buy from best buy tho as I have points saved for discounts.

Looking for a match 3 that is simple, no "lives" or daily limits, no story, just a fun colorful gem match 3 game. Ads are basically unavoidable so thats fine.

Just upgraded to galaxy ultra 26 and dragon gem won't install, was my only phone game.

So had this up and running for over a year, all of a sudden when I load up launchbox the controlls go haywire. I cant do anything but use my keyboard to exit. Tried it now on 2 pcs and new USB cable.

Any advice?

So i just got an elitedesk 705 g5 mini and I do like it alot. Im using it for my arcade cabinet.

It has 2 display ports and the optional port is also display port.

My question is, strictly using retrobat and only for MAME,will it suffer using a display port adapter to hdmi?

I see it can buy an hdmi port for it on ebay or Amazon but if it won't improve much or minimal, there might not be reason enough to purchase.

So i have an legends ultimate arcade cab, using an older pc running big box. Was working for a long time, today i reset that pc. Now, when big box loads up and I touch my left arcade stick, it spins so fast on the console choices I can't make it slow down or stop.

I can push buttons and get to the options but I can't move it to anything other than the last option, exit?
