![]() “There’s only a handful of (industry) shows, so it’s about understanding the presence of the other brands here and also knowing that there’s a lot of opportunity for us and for us to stand out and apart,” Farris said. The show marked CEO Brooke Farris’s first time at Surf Expo, with the executive seeing Surf Expo as an opportunity to make more North America connections and explore the market to better inform its go-forward strategy. If Rusty was looking to test market appetite for a more directional fashion offering from a surf brand, Rip Curl sought to reinforce its position in the core market as it launches the Flashbomb Fusion wetsuit in the U.S. About 10 appointments had come from new back-end synergies shared with Rhythm in which some of the brands’ sales and other functions are shared for cohesion and efficiency. “The best part of Surf Expo is you have so much newness coming around.”Ībout 30% of the company’s appointments, as of Day 1 of the show, reflected new accounts. Distribution’s growing,” said Rusty National Sales Manager Ryan Warner. The collection was first tested earlier this year in Australia, with Surf Expo marking its U.S. Rhythm’s sister brand Rusty was showing a new late-’90s-inspired collection called RED (Rusty Experimental Division), which offers a more fashion-forward assortment for a brand that’s historically positioned itself as a core surf brand.

Sales Director Sean Fleuriau said of what he described as a generational shift taking place in the consumer landscape. We’re definitely reaping the benefits,” Rhythm U.S. There are lots of opportunities with everything going on in the market. “Buyers have a lot more confidence in our brand. Open MindsĪ big part of the market changes for some of those brands is growing relevance among a new generation of consumers that has allowed for diversity and retail segmentation in their distribution models. The diverse Surf Expo floor – which had everything from souvenir shop gifts to outdoor and heritage surf brands – saw much of the steady action across the show’s three days centered around the section housing brands some in the industry see as the next in line to take on larger positions at retail, such as Salty Crew, Katin, Dark Seas, Roark, Vissla, and Rhythm. ![]() That deal’s impact – which has yet to be fully realized on the market – coupled with the continually changing consumer landscape has proven a boon for some brands in a position to take on expansion, a trend made clear at the show. Some brand leaders and new Boardriders licensees kept busy with buyer meetings, working to reassure retailers of minimal disruption as the brand portfolio – consisting of Quiksilver, Billabong, DC Shoes, Roxy, RVCA, and several others – makes the transition to a licensing model.

Different colors and shapes work better some nights than others. There are 3D printed jigs, squid shaped ones, and molded ones. Many sports stores in the area sell jigs, but in my experience the best ones are made and sold by other fishermen on the dock. Some squidders swear by a certain color combination or brand of jig. Squid do not bite, but attack these jigs, and the spikes ensnare their tentacles. They come in all shapes and sizes, and some even glow or light up. Squid jigs are small, oval shaped lures with a row of sharp spikes at the bottom. One of the most controversial aspects of squidding is what color and size of jig squid prefer. As long as you can jig with it, you'll catch squid. Baitcasters and spinning reels are equally at home here, as are braid and monofilament line. However, the veteran squidders use long and light rods to detect the squid's subtle strike. ![]() Tackle One of the best things about squidding is that you can use almost any rod and reel effectively. Anyone can do it with the proper technique, and some knowledge about squid behavior. It's a great activity when you've put the boat away for the season. All you need is a saltwater fishing license, a bucket, and a light rod and reel. ![]() ![]() The limit on squid is generous 10 pounds or a gallon bucket full. I've also used them as bait for lingcod, or traded them to other sportsmen for venison! Their uses are numerous. They make for great seafood pasta or calamari. These squid are small, less than 12 inches, but incredibly tasty. But for dozens of fishermen lined up along every saltwater pier, fall means squid fishing! Puget Sound market squid live in the depths in warmer weather, but come in shallow during the fall and winter months in massive schools to spawn. For most Puget Sound anglers, this means coho salmon.

It’s bass and treble extension are both somewhat mediocre, not going very deep or having much air, but that’s par for the course for Senn 6? series cans. The result is not as mid-focused or overall neutral-warm like the 6XX is, it’s a bit closer to a more mainstream tuning, but not nearly as extreme. If you’re familiar with the HD6XX, pull back the mids a touch and bring the lower treble up just a hair. It’s kind like a radical symbol: √ - sorta, but the treble isn’t noticeably forward of the bass. The middbass is a bit forward, the mids are slightly recessed, and the lower treble is a bit forward. To my ear the signature of the 660s is a gentle ‘v’…kinda. Read about some of my thoughts on Asgard 3, Atom, and Liquid Spark amps here. That’s a source chain that’s probably a bit unrealistic for most users who may be considering the 660s, so I also did a fair amount of critical listening with the Schiit Modius + Asgard 3 stack, and a Topping D10 + JDS Labs Atom and Monolith Liquid Spark amp. To acclimate, I used the Chord Hugo 2 DAC/amp (as DAC only) and the Cayin HA-1AMK2 tube amp on its lowest output impedance setting. There were 3.5ish different signal chains I listened to the 660s with most. The time here will be better spent on the… I’m not going to spend too much time here because descriptions of the build are all over the internet. If you’re familiar with the Senn 600 series build, that’s what you get. As far as build quality goes, there’s not much to say here that hasn’t already been said. On paper, it’s an easier-to-drive load than most of the Sennheiser HD6? series, which have impedances of 300Ω. It has a rated impedance of 150Ω and rated sensitivity of 104 dB/mW. The HD660S is an open-back, dynamic-driver, over-the-ear headphone. Readers should keep these hearing quirks and preferences in mind as they read my descriptions of sound. There is a balance here, though, because detail retrieval can get too relaxed and that can sound unnatural, as well, or simply leave out important aspects of the recording. To my ear, more subtle detail-retrieval sounds more realistic and natural than aggressive, detail-forwardness. I like good detail retrieval and hearing what a recording has to offer, but I prefer what many would consider relaxed and subtle rather than aggressive or detail-forward. Finally, I’m discovering that I have a preference for more subtle detail. It’s distracting because it’s annoying and unnatural. Sibilance does not physically hurt my ears nearly as quickly as shout, though. I also get distracted by sibilance, or sharp ‘s’ and ‘t’ sounds that can make ssssingers sssssound like they’re forssssssing esssss ssssssounds aggresssssssively. I describe “shoutiness” as an emphasis on the ‘ou’ sound of ‘shout.’ It’s a forwardness in the neighborhood of 1KHz and/or on the first one or two harmonics above it (when I make the sound ‘oooooIt can also give instruments like piano, but especially brass instruments, an added ‘honk’ to their sound. My ears are thus quick to perceive “shoutiness” in headphones in particular. My hearing quirks include a high sensitivity to midrange frequencies from just under 1KHz to around 3Khz, give or take. I’m getting to know jazz more and enjoying quite a bit. My preferred genres are rock/metal and classical/orchestral music. However, if you can find it used around $250 or less, it can be a compelling option. But, in this reviewer’s humble opinion it does not offer a signature that is different enough or a technical performance improvement over the 6XX, or another budget heavyweight Beyerdynamic DT880 600Ω, large enough to justify its ~$300 price difference over those models. It’s more forgiving than its 6XX sibling of entry-level DACs and amps. It has its strengths and offers a slightly different signature than its popular sibling model the HD6XX from Massdrop. The Senn HD660S is a very good ~$200-250 headphone that unfortunately sells for $500 from most retailers. The Sennheiser HD660S headphone crossed my desk recently and I had a good listen. It’s time to come back down to reality after a brief (but fun!) foray into high-end headphone systems. These are all necessary elements of the file, and without them, the file will be ignored by the game. Īs you can see, each file comprises a header string stating the file name, a second header stating the type of object data it contains, followed by the contents of the file itself. For example, if you open creature_standard.txt, it should look something like this: For now, take a look at one of the existing files. Within the \raw\objects folder are a large number of text files - these are the raw files, and editing them is quite easy - you can also create your own if you wish. This folder contains two subfolders: "graphics" (where you insert graphics sets), and "objects", which contains all the data for, generally, everything in the game that is not hardcoded. Even experienced modders have to look up tokens! A list of articles about tokens can be found here.Īll the base data that can be edited by prospective modders can be found in the \raw\ folder. It's always good to refer to tokens on the wiki. Per wiki tradition, it has been updated through all the major releases since then hopefully it reflects current knowledge. This guide is based on Teldin's guide, originally created for version 0.27.176.39c. Generally, breaking stuff is fine - nothing that can be changed will affect the DF executable, and new additions can be easily removed. After reading through this guide, a user should be capable of editing creatures, entities, materials et al, and creating their own. This is intended to be a guide to inform those new to Dwarf Fortress modding on what elements of the game can be modified, and how. I can appreciate a game that graphically evokes the 16-bit era without the audio-cue exhaustion common to the JRPGs and simulations of the time.This section serves as a portal to all modding-related pages on the wiki. It seems designed to stave off the eeriness of too much silent strategizing without overstaying its welcome. It's intermittent, unobtrusive, and quite lovely and evocative. The newly added music also helps soften the experience for newcomers. ![]() If you build a barrel, you get something that resembles a barrel, which is no small thing when you're just getting started in this arcane world. Now, when an angry Giant Badger Boar kills your dogs and maims the one dwarf you have gathering plants outside, the threat actually looks like a badger, not a symbol you'd accidentally type if you held down the Alt key. And the graphics certainly make it a lot easier to notice and address problems. The new menus are certainly a lot easier to navigate than the traditional all-text, shortcut-heavy interface (though you can keep using multi-key combinations to craft and assign orders if you like). That's about where the guidance ends, though. Using the new tutorial modes' initial placement suggestions and following its section-by-section cues, my first run taught me how to dig down, start a stockpile, assign some simple jobs, build a workshop, and-harkening back to Johnston's final frustrations-craft and place beds, bins, and tables, made with "non-economic stone." Advertisement ![]() In a few hours' time-and similarly avoiding the wiki guide until I'd tried going it alone for my first couple of runs-I got further into Dwarf Fortress' systems than Johnston did with her 10-hour ordeal, and I likely enjoyed it a good deal more. Where’s the command to build a table? Which workshop is the mason's? How do I figure that out? Should I just build another mason’s workshop because that may be faster than trying to find the right menu to identify the mason’s workshop? ![]() Even after begrudgingly turning to a beginners' wiki, Johnston found nothing but frustration: The ASCII-based "graphics" played a significant role in her confusion, but so did the lack of any real onboarding, or even simple explanations or help menus about how things worked. ![]() Further Reading Dwarf Fortress: Ten hours with the most inscrutable video game of all timeNearly 10 years ago, Ars' Casey Johnston spent 10 hours trying to burrow into Dwarf Fortress and came out more confused than before. and the smooth surface is very easy to clean just with a damp cloth.

![]() More cities = more of everything due to the way districts provide "flat" yields,and your finish time will be a function of how many cities you have in what timeframe. Ideally you should have a bunch of settlers ready to settle as soon as ancestral hall finishes. ![]() Expansion is much more effective after government plaza -> ancestral hall because you get a free builder upon settling. Peaceful expansion: if you're a builder type, you will expand peacefully. Neglecting culture will hurt your game a lot, even if you are not going for cultural victory. Don't neglect this, build monuments if you need to ramp up culture. You need culture early on to beeline to political philosophy which is key both for the extra policy slots and for unlocking ancestral hall. Fit a settler EARLY into your build order Need at least one more military relatively early Barbs will mess you up if you are not prepared. You get a free envoy to a city state if you find them first. ![]() Meeting city states and finding huts is key. Build at least 1 scout early (maybe first build). You can find huts and city states this way without compromising safety. Scout a little with your starting warrior, but circle back home for defense. Highlands would be good with Korea because of the hilly terrain. I like Pangea since it's easy to meet everyone, but everyone has their favorite maps. Hard to go wrong with them, and their unique district is awesome. If they could just remake that game with some updated graphics (not new engine that messes up the beautiful terraforming), better AI and some quality of life improvements, I would be a happy man (PS: Beyond Earth sucked!) ![]()
