Post by: cricketclub on April 29, 2020, 07:57:01 AM: I don't think any album is at its best on headphones but as far as calming music for your headphones here are the first albums that popped in my head:

Sade - Diamond Life, Love Deluxe

Any of the Mushroom Jazz compilations by Mark Farina

A lesser known gem I just found: Vick Lavender - Architect

Post by: Sona on May 05, 2020, 01:38:04 PM: whole skyrim soundtrack is fire I love how it rotates semi-randomly (or randomly?)

That game's dungeons are a pain in the ass and kinda repetitive though. I like playing that one on PC so you can just pull up the cheats menu and walk through walls.

They made those dungeons so the way out is near the entrance so you can just clip through the exit bypassing the entire dungeon generally. Think there are a few exceptions.

Best/Most boring way to play that game is to

-cheat heavily
-get that headband that lets you use two of those stones (I take the plus 100 carry capacity and I forget what the other one was)
-get the firey soultrap enchantment
-max out sneak/archery
-snipe out the dragon priests while abusing the save feature (I just hide out of bounds and poke them with arrows)
-get the 10 dragon masks
-put them on that thing and go to the alternate dimension
-pat yourself on the back for cheating so damn much
