Absolutely hauled my ass outta Don 😂

Finished Amur three days ago and thought "Hey Don! Small maps, only two of em - how bad can it be?" After about an hour of the BS terrain + debris I decided I was gonna speedrun it into Maine.

Amur was difficult but so damn rewarding in every way. Don was just..frustrating & annoying the entire time. No wonder Tatras suck in the game, have y'all seen the state of that production plant?

Did you also find Don to be as annoying as I did? Or am I being dramatic here? Anyhow, onto Maine my friends 😎 any tips other than fix garage/build fleet before moving?

44% finished with Amur..when am I supposed to hate it?

Before I got to Amur, I'd built it up as this monstrous, borderline miserable map that was absolutely going to break me. From all I observed in this community - along with numerous YouTube videos - it had a notorious reputation (rightfully so) for being the hardest map in SnowRunner..and I went in expecting the worst after easy breezy Wisconsin.

But I've been genuinely loving every moment. This is peak Snowrunner and I'll roll over five times + die on this hill. The deep snow & ice, gnarly terrains, insane routes, and constant fuel management make everything feel like an expedition. I love that it has forced me to slow down and think about what I'm doing, more than ever. I love that I'm forced to truck in the Tatarin on an evacuator because good luck finding a fuel station where you need it.

To my Dear Northern Aegis Installation, I will never complain about another map's difficulty after what you're putting me through. You've 100% earned my respect as the toughest region I’ve played to date, bar none. Some may call it nightmarish, brutal, etc. but a map/challenges like this has only deepened my love for the game. The routes are bonkers, the terrain in some portions has illicited an audible "WTF is this?!" from me..a few times.

That said, I can't help but feel that this is where Amur's true beauty lies..Is it frustrating as hell at times? Absolutely. But honestly, I think that’s what makes Amur so damn satisfying to me. Every brutal challenge that you break through to the other side, is what makes it that much more rewarding. And after everything it’s put me through, I can confidently say Amur has easily become one of my favorite regions in the game to date.

How I'm getting XP since the challenges glitched out

Hands down the best spot I've found on Golden Ridge Reserve for diamond lake trout (included marker on map). Sure, other fish are much faster catches but I've really been enjoying the fight these lake trout put up.

Setup - 1/0 jig with a worm, chum with pro performance, jigging all the way to the bottom then reel at 2x speed. Guaranteed gold and above!

My Triumph Tiger has been a terrible experience - how's your AT treating you?

TLDR is it's been a basket case of issues since day one. 35k miles on it since August of 2024, meticulous maintenance only to have these unavoidable issues pop up (all were covered by warranty, mind you).

I'm currently on the market for a do-it-all bike and have landed on either an Africa Twin or Tenere 700 (with the AT being preferred for the wind protection & highway riding). After owning my Triumph I've come to realize that reliability is absolutely my #1 priority for my motorcycle, since it's also my daily driver.

I'd love to hear from high mileage owners here how their experiences have been with their Africa Twins. Anything from unexpected issues, to ease of maintenance, if it can deal with drops off-road, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for stopping by 👍🏽

Goodbye (with love) Wisconsin! Officially out of cheese country

Finally wrapped up Wisconsin today. I went in expecting another region to grind through, after surviving Yukon, but this map quickly ended up being loved by me. Included some fun shots I finally remembered to take.

The scenery, the open highways, and the way the contracts flowed for me genuinely made it an enjoyable map. It definitely stands out as a favorite of mine, with what I've completed thus far (going in chronological order). This post is kinda bittersweet in that sense, considering that Amur is next up on the list.

Curious where everyone ranks Wisconsin compared to the other regions? And on that note, any pro tips from our Snowrunner veterans here for Amur? I'm fully expecting a hard time there.

Current state of this subreddit

Can we chill with the reposts? This is way out of hand - did the mods get paid off by Skurka to look the other way or what??

The same posts are getting recycled hours apart, turning the sub into a karma farm instead of a place for original shitposts.

This sub used to be funny as fuck because people actually made new content. Now it’s just reposts, low effort garbage (looking at you 10lb North Face tent guy) and Durston bot agents slowly killing the jerk. We can do better than this nonsense.

Pole snapped under its own weight.

So you know that part where you’ve spread the tent (dome 2) out on the ground and you putting the poles together. Then you’re holding the center of one end and one leg of the pole spider, and you’re going to put that leg into the tent / fly corner. When all of a sudden the pole on the other side makes a clunking noise and you look over and it’s collapsed under its own weight?

What do I do now ?!

Photo is after I attached all the tent clips, because I needed the tent to hold up for the last night of my trip. It did because of the sheathing but now I need a new pole. Not sure what my options are. My tent didn’t come with a sleeve to mend it in the wild.

Goliath achievement if I've completed up until Wisconsin?

Hey all, hoping this awesome community can help me out with a slight issue. I've completed the maps (in order) 100% up until Wisconsin, where I'm currently at 74%. I have not started any maps past Wisconsin's season.

I'm wanting to complete the Goliath achievement and was wondering if there's another special objective trailer down the road that I can use for this? I don't mind waiting til I get there, as long as there's an option for it.

Similarly, can I redo the same contest over and over again in Taymyr with the P12 for the Western Wind achievement? Or does it strictly need to be a Contract/Task? Would appreciate any insight you all may have, thanks as always.

Edit for quick update - thanks to this wonderful community's advice, I was able to knock out the rest of the Snowrunner achievements for 100%. Running the contests back to back will count towards cargo delivered. Now to keep on trucking 👍🏼

How did Tabitha's actress make the cut for this show?

**Disclaimer: This isn't a hate post or a personal attack on the actress. I love this show but I've also read a ton of comments regarding her acting.**

I've tried giving her performance the benefit of the doubt over four entire seasons, hoping she'd grow into her role. But my opinion about her acting has only declined with each new season. That said, I agree that *a portion of this* can be attributed to the writers and redundant lines..unless certain scenes/characters allowed for improvisation.

What confuses me? That Tabitha could be considered the most important character in the entire show, alongside Jade. She's at the center of the story and the town itself, but I consistently find her performance to be the weakest in the cast. For a show with horror elements, her "acting" doesn't give any sense of fear or urgency; I legitimately laughed the first time she was running from the monsters because of how much she didn't sell it.

That's what I don't get. With her (arguably) being the most important character in the town, I genuinely don't understand how the casting directors/writers/producers watched her performance and felt **she** was the right fit for such a major role. And it's not like every character is knocking it out of the park either (Marielle & Ellis are good examples).

Maybe I'm missing something crucial here. But after four seasons I just can't get past her "acting". Am I wrong - should the writers be blamed entirely here? Or do some folks think she's doing a good job? Open to any and all opinions of course.

Gen 3 Giant Loop panniers + 3D cycle quick detach plates

Hey all, former Gen 3 owner here. I got into an accident a while back which totalled the bike. Bonus info is it still drove just fine and was only totalled due to amount for repairs lol

I wanted to see if there'd be any interest here for a set of brand new Giant Loop MotoTrek panniers that are mounted to 3d cycle's quick detach panniers. I never had a chance to use them so they've just been sitting in a storage box in the garage ever since.

If anyone's interested I'd be happy to upload photos here or make a new post altogether, with verified photos/timestamp. I figured I'd ask here since these racks fit directly onto the gen3 ADV models racks.

Thanks for looking!

I think Dale really cemented himself as a legend for this one

Dale's arrogant, always picking fights with others, and a general nuisance in Colony House if you ask me. Love him or hate him, I think we can thank him for an unforgettable Fromville moment.

Curious to hear people's favorite scenes in the show that also had *interesting* outcomes 🤣

Good news everyone

This account was ragebaiting with horrendous driving for the last two weeks. Thankfully, with this community's efforts/reports - Reddit Admins stepped in I guess and gave them a sitewide ban.

Me when people keep saying S5 will explain everything

All 4 seasons could've been a single email

Season 1 - find tree, build tower, dig hole, house fall

Season 2 - three people in a coma, Tabby gets pushed out a lighthouse

Season 3 - smiley reborn, anghkooey

Season 4 - MiY trolling everyone, bones in a cave, Fatima becomes a monster.

But they're definitely gonna wrap all this up in 10 episodes, right?? 🥴

Is the Original Home Mini officially dead because of updates?

Edit - my consensus after going at this for nearly a week is that the Google home app is no longer useful like it once was. I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to achieve SUCH A SIMPLE TASK. Especially when these speakers working FLAWLESSLY for years, until Gemini came in and essentially bricked my devices.

I don't know what Google changed in their Home App updates, but it's effectively bricked my original home mini. Never had any issues until recently and pulling out hairs to get this thing to connect.

Is this simply planned obsolescence doing what it's intended to do? Or has the process to connect the simplest speaker too much for Google Home these days?? I have three of them and they are all useless now.

Hey all, thought I'd get around to building this one but never got around to it. Current MSRP is $160 so I've priced accordingly.

I prefer local pickup vs. shipping. BNIB, all seals intact, have receipts for purchase as well.

Asking $120 for local pickup in San Fernando Valley, or $120+shipping to lower 48.
