Also, been working my way through the Horizon Zero Dawn expansion: Frozen Wilds (I know, I'm way late). It's so good!

None of them can manage finances worth a damn, nor have they accomplished anything with their lives aside from working for slightly more than minimum wage in the tiny-ass town they grew up in.
I've served in the military, finished graduate school, have an excellent career, and just bought my first home a little over a year ago. I'm also married with two kids that have a much better lifestyle than I did growing up.
I've made it.

That being said, I can also see how people might view it as a term typically reserved for men.

I'm still in the beginner missions so it doesn't feel like there's too much strategy required, although maybe that happens further into the campaign. Still good though!

Alestorm is absolutely fantastic, but they're more "pirate metal" than folk. https://youtu.be/f55CqLc6IR0
Tyr is another great one, although, again, I'd say they're more "viking metal" than folk, but a lot of the people I talk to about this stuff kind of lump both of those as subgenres of folk metal, but I dunno. https://youtu.be/fu2bgwcv43o
My absolute favorite new (at least to me) metal band I've recently discovered is "Unleash the Archers." https://youtu.be/UOvZKJlrtk8. They're an amazing metal band out of Canada and all of their stuff just completely fuckin rocks. I'd say they're probably more power metal than folk, but I dunno.
Oh, and thanks for that link. Those guys are pretty awesome.
God this is such bullshit and I can't wait to see it challenged in court. Trump declares a national emergency 2 years after he pledged to build a wall, congress denied his request for wall funding, and all the other shit that Trump tried to do and got shot down for, but suddenly NOW there's a national emergency worthy of redirecting billions in military spending for? Gimme a fuckin break.
