I'm playing it for like the 20th time lol. Glad you're enjoying it.

Now that you're in Velen, focus on the main story for a while. The leveling system is a bit weird in this game compared to other RPGs but it'll all iron out as you progress through quests.

I would say I’m a casual Cave fan- I like a few of his albums and a bunch of songs, generally the consensus favorites. I’m 45 yr old IT guy listen to jazz, prog/metal, classic blues and R&B.

My wife isn’t really into rock music (more latin and jazz and r&b) but i took her to see him live a few years ago and she was smitten. Was really into the theatricality and intensity. And of course the theme song to Peaky Blinders.

Since this is the Atlantic, a periodical whose editorial writing has largely devolved to a that of a youtube comment thread with better punctuation, I’m just going to guess they are complaining about political correctness and the typical whiny cancel culture faux-victimhood.

And I’m gonna further guess they’re ignoring or downplaying that Connecticut is literally trying to ban the word Latinx.

Sly & the Family Stone’s Greatest Hits

Singles Going Steady by the Buzzcocks

Both of these bands are legends and absolutely deserve to be, but their albums are full of filler. These compilations are perfect and every track is a banger.

Sure the album after Sly’s greatest hits “There’s a Riot Going On” is a critical darling but I personally don’t care for it as it marks the beginning of the band’s down turn. But if you like that record, the Greatest Hits still encompasses everything most folks need up to that point, so it is valuable to every kind of music fan.

Singles Going Steady was always amazing and the expanded tracklist on CD is a worthy addition to anyone’s collection

Opeth- Blackwater Park

Newbury Comics in Massachusetts was still an actual music store and there was one near my work so I got to know a couple of the guys. Saw I was into metal and prog and correctly guessed I would dig that.
