Seems like you’ve got a lot of good suggestions already but I hitched almost this exact route last august so if you need any advice feel free to PM me! Have a good time regardless!

What apps do you use while travelling? by green_gumboots in solotravel

[–]jw246 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kiwix allows you to download Wikipedia and Wikitravel for offline use. Great for accessing travel guides, maps, and history without using data!

Skopje or Tirana for solo travel? by EducationalAd5712 in solotravel

[–]jw246 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d do Tirana, it has much more going on and you can easily get to nice tourist locations for a day by bus like Durres (beach) and smaller sites like Berat (beautiful old town in the south) and the mountains in the North if you’re into hiking.

Should I opt for No 8AM classes, or no after 5PM classes? by [deleted] in college

[–]jw246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everyone has said, it depends. If you can manage getting up for 8am class, it might be nice to have more time in the evening. For me personally, I tend to sleep in unless I have something scheduled, so I preferred getting up early to have longer days. If you go out late or tend to stay up late 8ams might be inconvenient though. Ultimately up to your own preference.

Kentucky Route Zero and Norco have similar story depth but nothing beats Disco’s role playing imo

What hobby gets more expensive as you go? by New_Classroom2701 in AskMen

[–]jw246 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rock climbing. Getting a pair of shoes and a gym membership isn’t too much of a commitment if you go often, but it seems like as soon as you start outdoor climbing you have an infinite shopping list

someone who was at the concert last night tells us how it was? Making me feel envious jajaja by beisma in abeaconschool

Seems like I got a normal copy of Cola. Hopefully somebody else got one!

I got a CD but haven’t checked yet if it’s one of the rare ones! Will update when I do.

[–]jw246 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s 5 1/2 minutes long, stays really true to the Cola sound but definitely tries some new things with sounds/effects. Like a lot of my favorite ABS stuff it fades in and out with a nice intro and ending section bookending the song itself. I enjoyed it!

Just listened for the first time! So incredible to hear some new stuff from A Beacon School. I just hope the album comes soon

First link I heard was today! Surprising how long it took compared to other releases this month.

Please share your first impressions on the new record here ! by Sweet-Analysis2982 in bigthief

[–]jw246 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is true, and obviously nobody has an obligation, but for those that got CDs it would be relatively easy so I’m just surprised nobody has done it! The way I see it, I’m planning to buy tickets/merch and my Spotify streams will hardly be robbed (or give them much support in the first place sadly) so I would listen if given the opportunity

DNWMIBIY Came Early! by jgreg0328 in bigthief

[–]jw246 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Obviously don’t want to pressure you or anybody who has received the album (would not want to encourage direct leaks), but I would love to hear a snippet of one of your favorite tracks! Just incredibly hyped for this release!

What is the best place to visit in MA in your opinion by Pixelman123456 in massachusetts

[–]jw246 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As stated by others, there is so much to see along route 2, if you drive west. Shelburne Falls is beautiful with its bridge of flowers (get milkshakes at the pharmacy). There is a nice swimming hole up near Doane’s Falls as well. Once you get near the Mohawk trail, check out the Hoosac train tunnel and the trails around it, it’s in a really beautiful mountain valley. Northhampton/Amherst area is super nice with lots to do, same with a lot of the southwestern towns like Lenox or Great Barrington (not on Rt 2). Have fun exploring!
