Like Hypho- Terps VIP or Phrva and Snowy Hunch, Calibre and DRS Badman (ok this is more atmosphere but still legends)

Deep Dark Grime I guess?? the tunes that straddle the line between the two genres

This is an amazing generational throwback logo!

For you non-windjohnnies who haven't been here forever, "Hood River Windsurfing" was the original name of the shop that Doug Campbell opened in 1984 (yes, Doug's Beach is named after him too)

This new Doug's logo is remixing the font and decoration from the original HRW logo onto their current name, kind of like a self-bootleg?
(wanted to attach the OG logo too, but turns out it's very difficult to track down the logo of a shop that changed names in the 1990s!)

Not quite as active as August (both the bass AND my own fishing habit) but still some decent size fish out there!

Enough with the brook trout, how about another introduced species which really shouldn’t be here? (Kidding, nice catches everyone)

The observations on iNaturalist are in the upper Columbia but Fishbrain has catches in Bonneville Pool and as far west as a lake in Camas, WA.

Studying up on the best tackle to angle for these guys, does anyone know the history of how the species was introduced to our waters?

Looks interesting! If you’ve got the day off go fishing at nearby Laraunce Lake first (even many of the locals constantly misspell this place lol)

Which side are you on?

Sunday morning football on the Columbia River, size 10.5 shoe

I’m guessing somewhere in the 2 –2 1/2 pound range?

(watch with headphones on, the sound of the rain is one of my favorite parts of VR)
Playing with a Fanatec DD Pro + boost PSU (but base kit, no clutch handbrake or shift knob), FullForce at 100 for this clip but still experimenting with my preferred setting.

I haven't got much time to play since the update came out so I just did a few random setup races in different classes/conditions and I feel like the biggest difference is in low traction conditions, which is also how I felt about the last big change @ 1.6. Dirt and snow driving are different but it feels slightly more realistic.

RAIN on the other hand is crazy now! TBH not much experience with RWD cars in the rain IRL (99% of my driving has been on AWD Subarus)

It feels like the tires have increased forward traction but lower lateral traction. Like, the cars are both more likely to lose grip in the rain BUT it's also a little easier to recover, especially if you only kicked out your back end and aren't in a full slide. I'm also having an easier time recovering when I slide completely off the track into the wet grass. The driving is slightly more challenging but feels A LOT more fun!

Have not experimented with Racing Wets/Intermediate yet either, anybody want to chime in with their thoughts?
and side note i feel like the NPC cars use their signal lights more now? but maybe I just didn't notice in daytime races.

(My big wish is for all tracks to get all weather types and full 24 hour day cycles)
