Alice in Chains and Frank Sinatra

Most of my family is from very near there. I remember when this happened, it was quite the event

Oh nice. There’s only two bosses/mini-bosses I dislike in that game, that one’s one of them. It just doesn’t seem very Sekiro to me personally. The next section is one of my favourite parts though, which makes up for it for me. Good luck! It’s an awesome experience, and one of the few games I’ve bothered to get all the achievements for.

Amazing. This makes me want to try and find that old Pokémon card somewhere in my parents’ house

I’m horrified. Thank you.

If you’re bored and want another one, I haven’t checked through the comments but Dragonite has always been my #2. I had a card of him with the carrier bag and I always wanted to have him on my teams on the video games. Ruin that one, or fuse it with Lapras, that would be very interesting.

Here is my Bulova Sea King “Whale” from 1971 that I bought used a couple years ago. Still runs very well 54 years later.

That’s one of my all-time favourite games. How far are you? I’m jealous you get to experience it for the first time.

My favourite has always been Lapras. Ruin my childhood for me please.

Weird, on my end it doesn’t look like that. I’ll take a closer look on my break today.

I’ll keep an eye out for that album as a used CD or record, if I can find a copy for cheap. All my money will stay in Canada that way. Thanks for the recommendation!

You should listen to more Lightfoot! His discography is vast, there’s bound to be more of his stuff you like. At the same time, there’s probably lots of stuff you won’t like. I’m personally a big fan of his record Gord’s Gold, it’s a comp album but he re-recorded everything for it, so it’s all new recordings (or was all new in 1975), which gives you a more mature voice on some of his older tracks. Canadian Railroad Trilogy especially sounds way better rereleased (though I love the original too, it’s probably my favourite song of his). It’s a pretty early comp album though, and is missing a few of his biggest hits, like Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald. He has Gord’s Gold Vol. 2 as well but it’s not as good imo.

Thanks for the list! The only metal band I really listen to a lot is Iron Maiden, I’m more a classic rock and folk kinda guy.

With everything going on politically right now, I’ve been listening to a lot more Canadian music recently. I tend to listen to records (and sometimes CDs) more than streaming, so I’m kind of limited to albums I own physically. With that being said, here’s some recents:

Tragically Hip - Up to Here. My personal favourite Hip record, just great classic Canadian rock. Side A gets spun a lot.

Neil Young - Harvest. Despite probably being the most popular album on this list, it’s probably the one I play the least. Still very good folk music though, I could just never get past his voice.

Stan Rogers - Northwest Passage. I only got into Stan Rogers a few months ago, and then found this record used in excellent shape for pretty cheap and had to buy it. Probably my favourite Canadian folk album now.

The Guess Who - Greatest Hits. Can’t go wrong with American Woman or Laughing. I don’t listen to a whole lot of their music, hence the comp album, but their popular stuff I quite like. I also have an old comp album of just their early stuff from before they were big which I actually like more, but haven’t listened to in quite a while. Maybe I should spin it again soon.

The Tea Party - Edges of Twilight. Definitely the most interesting album on this list, and another favourite. I’m yet to hear another album sound quite like this one, even from them. They’re an awesome band anyway, but this album is definitely their peak.

Mort Garson - Mother Earth’s Plantasia. This one unfortunately I have to stream, but I keep an eye out for it every time I go out to the record store. This is early electronic music.

Stompin’ Tom Connors - Stompin’ Tom Connors. Another one I’m currently streaming, but there’s nothing more Canadian than Stompin’ Tom. I’ve got one record from him, but it doesn’t have any of his biggest hits unfortunately.

Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers - The Serious Stuff. This one always makes me homesick. All my family is from Newfoundland but I’m currently living away from home. This album takes me home for a little bit.

Great Big Sea - Up. Another band from Newfoundland that takes me home.

Gordon Lightfoot - basically his whole discography. I’ve got a lot of Lightfoot records, and play all of them constantly. Probably my most listened-to folk artist.

Rush - Moving Pictures. I’m only just starting to get into Rush so I don’t have much to say yet. Awesome record though.

If you’ve got any questions I’d love to talk more about these guys! If there’s any bands you’re curious about I’d love to recommend songs too.

What have you been listening to? I love listening to albums all the way through, definitely my favourite way to listen to music.

Exactly! That’s why I love !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

Includes the TV show

Just added it to my Wishlist on steam. Looks like a nice game!

Orion is an iOS browser that lets you use uBlock Origin (along with many other Firefox and Chrome extensions). I can’t speak for their ownership though, I have no idea if it’s a good company or not.

I’m going back through the Pokémon series again (out of order). Currently playing through Yellow

That seems pretty fun actually. I’ll look into it. Thanks for the recommendation

Thanks for making the post. It’s nice to air out the emotions sometimes.

I’ve never played an Ace Combat game before, but had several times where I almost bought one before not pulling the trigger. I might look into it again.
